A Guide to Cheap Holidays in Ibiza

Getting to and around Ibiza cheaply

There are low-cost, package and scheduled airlines flying into Ibiza daily throughout the summer so shop around for the best deals. The local bus services between the larger towns on Ibiza are very good and there are even some routes to the smaller towns and villages - look out for the orange buses.

Clubbers will be pleased to know that there's a cheap disco bus, which runs in a continuous circuit around the island's top clubs so you shouldn't have any trouble trying two or three in one night. There are plenty of cheap car hire firms at the airport and in the major towns, and this is probably the best transport option if you really want to explore the island.

Low-cost sightseeing in Ibiza

Most visitors don't really go on holiday to Ibiza for the sights, but there are a few interesting towns and historical monuments. The old port of Sa Penya is a great place to go people watching. It's full of narrow, crowded streets and squares nestled around the harbour and there always seems to be something going on.

Near D'Alt Vila, an old walled town, with an arched gateway, is the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, which features changing exhibitions of contemporary art. Also in this area is the cathedral, which dates from the 14th century. A day can definitely be spent wandering one of the small towns on this beautiful island, the back streets and alleys make for good viewing and there are many squares where one can sit and enjoy a cheap drink or bite to eat.

Eating cheaply on Holiday in Ibiza

All over Ibiza you'll find cheap and excellent cuisine and of course the seafood is particularly good. As the island is part of Spain, you'll find plenty in the way of tapas, which consists of lots of small dishes with delicious treats like spicy potatoes, grilled squid, and prawns in garlic and chorizo, a spicy sausage.

The nightlife really is fantastic in the Balearics, but nowhere more so than in Ibiza, renowned as one of the best clubbing destinations on the planet. Thousands of party-minded punters flock every year to the super clubs on the island, such as Pacha, Space and Amnesia.

Cheap Shopping in Ibiza

There is plenty of cheap shopping to be had on this Spanish island. Most of the waterfronts are lined with cheap souvenir shops where you can buy all kinds of goods to take home and remember your holiday by.

A day out could be spent seeing some of the local countryside; a nice way to see some of the countryside on the island is on board a tourist 'train'. Running on wheels rather than rails, the trains run out of Santa Eulalia and San Antonio and take their passengers on a relaxed pace tour of the surrounding hills.
