Is Ibiza Suitable for Family Travel?

When is the best time to go to Ibiza?

The summer school break isn’t the only time to think about enjoying a family holiday in Ibiza. June through to September are extremely popular months on the island - with tourist-filled streets and buzzing restaurants and bars - but there’s something to be said for the mid-to-low season months.

From April onwards, the island of Ibiza experiences gorgeous sunny days followed by warm, cosy evenings. Daytime temperatures can reach 20-25°C in the lower season months, perfect for exploring the natural beauty of the island with your family. From quiet, sandy beaches to high-adrenaline activities, Ibiza is open all year round for you to enjoy.

What is the best family resort Ibiza?

Now you’ve chosen the best time to go to Ibiza, where should you stay?

If you’re looking for a family-friendly location on the island, choose Santa Eulalia. The peaceful town puts a stopper in Ibiza’s party reputation, offering expansive beaches, authentic dining options and an array of activities to keep the whole family entertained. From exhilarating watersports and authentic hippy markets to laid-back beach clubs that the whole family can enjoy - Santa Eulalia is the perfect backdrop for your next adventure.

Ibiza Town offers culture on your doorstep with UNESCO World Heritage Site, Dalt Vila, as its centerpiece, surrounded by winding streets full of hidden-gem restaurants and luxury shopping experiences. Start your day on a private boat charter from Ibiza Port or watch the sun go down enjoying cocktails (and mocktails) on the rooftop of The Standard Hotel - Ibiza Town has it all.

On the West coast of Ibiza, the beachside resorts of Cala Conte, Cala Tarida and Cala Vadella are perfect for the thrillseekers in the family who enjoy outdoor activities such as watersports, cycling and hiking. These areas are also idyllic for the famous Ibiza sunset - imagine an evening spent on your villa terrace with your family, enjoying a menu curated by a private chef, cocktails by a skilled mixologist as the sun dips below the horizon. Ibiza is a dream for active young people and we are able to arrange an impressive itinerary to stimulate the minds of the young (and the young at heart) whilst you are visiting the island.

Activities and things to do as a family in Ibiza

Ibiza may have a reputation for nightlife and parties, but the island has amazing family-friendly venues to go to and activities to take part in, from underground caves and local farm visits to wild watersports and exploring the island on mountain bikes. The best thing is, you don’t have to worry about putting together an itinerary for your stay.

We can put together a personalised schedule that works for you and your family. From laid-back vineyard tours to hikes through the countryside and kayaking in the crystal clear waters; your Ibiza holiday can be everything that you want it to be.

We suggest using a luxury transportation service to get around the island; from exploring the stunning north-coast coves to heading south for a delicious dinner overlooking Es Vedra at sunset. A personal driver can take you to hidden beaches on the island that only the locals know, or to popular hippy markets such as San Juan, Las Dalias or Punta Arabi in Es Canar. Not having the stress of driving means you get more time to become as infatuated with the island as we are.

Have you ever explored Ibiza’s sister island, Formentera? Maldivian-like waters, white-sand beaches and exquisite waterfront restaurants await you, and there are many different ways to enjoy it. Charter a private yacht for the day and admire the beautiful coastline before heading to shore to island favourites Juan y Andrea or Es Molí de Sal. Explore the island by bicycle or motorbike as you ride between towns, stopping at beaches along the way. Leave the decision-making to the professionals and experience Ibiza and Formentera like an island insider.

And for the days you don't feel like leaving the comfort of your luxury accommodation, Ibiza Villas can bring the action to you. From pop-up cinema experiences to tennis coaches and swimming teachers on hand, you can enjoy the relaxing surroundings of your Ibizan home-from-home whilst the kids are entertained.

Enhancing your family-friendly villa holiday in Ibiza couldn’t be easier. The younger children can fill their daytimes with pool-side fun, waterparks and zip lines whilst older children can take part in cycling, hiking, yoga or exploring the culture that surrounds them in the local towns.

Restaurants suitable for children

Whether you want to sample traditional Ibicenco cuisine or something from more far-flung lands, our team have got the inside track to the best restaurants in Ibiza.

If you’re looking for a toes-in-the-sand style restaurant for you and your family, head to Cala Bassa Beach Club, Beachhouse in Playa d’en Bossa or Santa Eulalia’s Chiringuito Blue. These chilled-out beach clubs are perfect for diners of any age, with the latter two having their own kid’s clubs/corners with activities to take part in.

Our team of experts can recommend restaurants that have the perfect mix of world-class cuisine and entertainment (and even education!) for children. Farm-to-table restaurants such as Aubergine and Terra Masia are perfect for the family group to learn how the island uses its land to provide ingredients, whereas Boat House in Cala San Vicente will have the little ones in their element with aquariums and a fake ship-wreck under its glass floor, all met with a stunning menu.
