Ibiza is world-famous for nightlife, but this Balearic gem also offers stunning beaches, charming old towns, and even quiet countryside escapes. This 5-day itinerary blends the party scene with serene moments by the Mediterranean. I highly recommend a short trip to Mallorca that offers a different side of the Mediterranean.
I flew in from Singapore to Barcelona on Etihad, then took Vueling from Barcelona to Ibiza. I landed on a Friday noon in June — the start of a jam-packed itinerary.
Day 1 : Enjoy Ibiza nightlife with the legendary DJs – Calvin Harris and David Guetta
Calvin Harris @ Ushuaia // David Guetta @ UNVRS
Pre-book your tickets on Clubtickets.com and pre-drink before the event at your accomodation/bars.
Tip : Arrive at Ushuaiia around 6/7pm if you want to be at the front. Headliners come in at 9pm usually. It can get crowded and hot in summer, I felt dizzy half way through and left my spot with my friends to grab a water bottle (Yes, its 20 Euro). It was so crowded – I never found my friends again in the crowd till end of show.
UNVRS headliners come in 2am onwards. If you party hard, like me, till 7am. Its worth to come in later than 1am. Rest up and nap, your body will thank you.
Day 2 : Rest and spend the sunset at Cala Comte / Cala Saladeta / Cala Gracio
You end the day at 7am, rest the morning and let your body reset. Wake up around 5 PM and let your body realign with nature.
Clear waters, magical sunset views, reserve a nice dinner spot at 9pm at Cafe Sunset Ashram to end the evening with some magical vibes. At San Antonio? Visit the sunset strip for a nice drink at Golden Buddha or Cafe del Mar.
Still have energy? Head to Hi Ibiza for Black Coffee’s set at night.
From San Antonio, Cala Comte is 20 minute drive or a 40 minute bus ride. Otherwise there are hidden coves with calm water for a dip.
If you’re taking the bus – it can be unpredictable, so plan ahead ; you can always share a taxi with other travellers.
Day 3 : Day trip to Formentera (optional party your night at Pacha)
Assuming you had not join Black Coffee at Hi Ibiza, do a day trip to Formentera. Take the ferry from Port Eivissa and rent a scooter or a bike to explore the beautiful beaches of Formentera.
I started exploration of Formentera at 3pm and headed back on the ferry at 9pm.
My favourite was lounging on Ses Illetes. Another option just a 5 min bike ride is Platja de Llevant, it has less crowds, but the waves may be strong for a non-swimmer like me.
Es Pujols is another place to explore with much more food options and calm waters.
Tip : Have a focused itinerary on which beaches you want to visit. Familarise yourself with the ferry timetable. Usually the Formentera Lines are open ticket and you can take the next one if you miss your scheduled one.
If you are someone who wants to be organised you can always book a fuss-free ferry trip instead here
Day 4 : Dalt Vila / Ibiza Old Town & Party at Pikes or Amnesia
Take the morning easy and wander around Old Town. For those chasing the highs, you will find many instagrammable spots for your viral reels. Get ready to be mesmerised by the cobbled streets and stunning views of the sea.
Have a nice lunch or dinner and party at Pikes (you need to >27 years old ; close at 4am) or head to Amnesia
Day 5 : Brunch at San Antonio (For the party lovers : Head over to O’Beach to enjoy your last day before jet setting.. to Mallorca)
Take the time to explore the quiet street of the neighbourhood, enjoy a croissant at UNICA Bakery or Egg Benedict at La Guay.
