Ibiza is a small island, roughly only 40 km by 20 km, so wherever you want to go, it doesn’t take long. By road it is 16.5 km from Ibiza Town to the second largest town, San Antonio and 15 km to the third largest town, Santa Eulalia.
Do get about: Ibiza is a stunningly beautiful island and well worth exploring by car, bus or even boat.
These selected car hire companies offer cars, scooters and motorbikes at prices to suit every pocket and offering the best service.
The easiest and most comfortable way to get from the airport to where you are staying is by private airport transfer. Choose from standard or luxury vehicles just for you and your party or in a shared shuttle service, to reduce costs. Find more information about airport transfers here.
If there are three or four of you travelling, taxis are a comfortable and relatively economical way to travel. You can flag a taxi down at any time day and night if the green light is showing. Taxis are charged on a meter system (similar to the rest of Europe). See taxi prices, telephone numbers and app.
The island boasts an extensive and regular bus service. There are half-hour connections between all major resorts, including many of the most popular beaches. Buses run in the summer months from approximately 07:00 until 22:00. The disco bus then takes over from midnight until 6am, taking clubbers to and from all the major clubs and resorts.
The buses are air-conditioned and an extremely economical form of transport. Highly recommended. Ask in your accommodation for more details. For timetables see the website of the Ibiza Bus Company.
