Playa d'en Bossa

★ nightlife and beach clubs

Ibiza's longest beach and its party-central strip, home to and Ushuaïa. Hotels here range from big party resorts to sleek design stays, and you can walk to the clubs.

The move if nightlife is the point of the trip. See hotels in Playa d'en Bossa.

Ibiza Town (Eivissa)

★ style, dining and the old town

The capital wraps a floodlit medieval old town around a yacht-lined marina packed with restaurants and cocktail bars, and it's home to Pacha. Boutique hotels, great food, and a walkable, stylish base.

Best for a dressed-up trip built around dining and glamour. See hotels in Ibiza Town.

Santa Eulalia

★ couples, families and a calmer pace

A relaxed resort town on the east coast with a pretty promenade, a strong restaurant scene and calm family beaches. Quieter and more grown-up than the party zones, without being remote.

Best for couples and families who still want to be near the action. See hotels in Santa Eulalia.

San Antonio (Sant Antoni)

★ sunsets and value

The younger, more affordable west, built around the famous sunset strip and a walkable bar district. Big clubs like Eden and Es Paradis are here, and hotels are gentler on the budget.

Best for a lively, value-focused trip and the best sunsets on the island. See hotels in San Antonio.

San José and the south (Sant Josep)

★ boho luxury and nature

The southwest is the island's countryside-and-cliffs quarter: agroturismos, design villas and boutique hotels near coves like Cala Jondal and Es Cubells. Peaceful, scenic and stylish.

Best for a slower, more luxurious trip close to the best beaches. See hotels in San José.

The north (San Miguel, Portinatx)

★ peace and quiet

The green, unspoiled north is all pine forests and hidden coves, far from the club noise. A handful of resorts and rural hotels sit among the hills near San Miguel and Portinatx.

Best for switching off completely. See hotels in the north.
