You may have seen some photos on my Instagram already! These are my Ibiza tips, including hidden gems, the best beach clubs, hotspots, car rental options, restaurants and hotels! For a unique stay on this special island, without tripping over drunk party tourists who like to present you their underwear…

Best hotels and accommodations Ibiza:

I find this always the biggest challenge. A lot of hotels are way too expensive for me. My first choice is usually Airbnb. When you are travelling with a group, or just with 1 friend, you will always find a great place here. Ibiza is a popular destination so start looking for a place to stay as soon as you know you want to go. I always try to find a home away from home close to Santa Gertrudis or San Rafael, because these towns are centrally located on the island. Some people prefer the quiet North, others the lively South… We stayed at the lovely Can Sastre. This is a true paradise! The interior and property is like a dream…

If you are looking for an affordable hotel, check out Hotel Can Marquet close to Santa Gertrudis. I absolutely loved my stay here. It is an adults only hotel, has a perfect location and a swimming pool with comfortable daybeds that will make you not want to leave the hotel anymore…

Sol Beach House is another great option. A lot bigger than Can Marquet though. We stayed here with a Hotelgift Card. You can use this card at over 110.000 hotels worldwide. Almost nothing makes me happier than spending a night in a lovely hotel! You can give the Hotelgift Card personally or by e-mail.

Car rental Ibiza

Ibiza is best explored by car! I love driving around the island and find undiscovered beaches and restaurants. Get yourself a car that can handle some of the dirt roads on the island! I always rent my car at Sunny Cars and love their service. They upgraded us to a Citroën Cactus, the size of a Jeep! Yaasss!

EXCELLENT ALL-INCLUSIVE BOAT TRIP TO FORMENTERA

Best restaurants ibiza:

I always discover new favorite spots on the island. Cala Bonita is my absolute number one of this trip! This was by far the best lunch I had. Wow! The cocktails are dangerously good. Try the Coconut Mojito or/ and the Gin Basil Fizz! I read some comments online that the road to get to the restaurant was tricky, but this was no problem at all! No sweaty moustache for me. The food is divine. Try the mussels and the fresh, spicy ceviche! Every dish was DELICIOUS and the fish is so fresh! Cala Bonita is not the cheapest, but worth every penny! I’ll be back for more…

Another lovely find is new restaurant Can Mussonet in San Rafael! This spot is great for dinner because of the romantic setting outside. Try the ceviche! Prices are friendly. For a glass of wine you will pay about €3,-. Check out the special way they put the reservations on the tables…

ALL MY FAVORITE RESTAURANTS IN IBIZA

Friends told me I HAD TO VISIT Aubergine! This new restaurant, run by the owners of Atzáro, looks beautiful. I would recommend visiting the restaurant for dinner, because it was extremely quiet during our lunch visit… The food is amazing. On the menu you find tasty vegetarian dishes, but meat options too. Prices are excellent. For a main course you pay between €17,- and €26,-. Try the passionfruit cheesecake…

A MAGICAL HOT AIR BALLOON FLIGHT

What not to do:
Stay away from Sant Antoni & Playa Den Bossa, unless you feel amazing in places like Salou and Lloret de Mar… While you try to enjoy your morning coffee, you will trip over half naked, drunk party people, who can’t walk anymore and somehow lost their underwear… You can catch an STD simply by inhaling some air here….joy;-).
