Best Places to Visit in Ibiza

Ibiza, one of the best party places in the world. I can tell you that the place is gorgeous, although it is expensive.  I  recommend coming here in June-September months and below are my suggestions for the best places to visit in Ibiza:

FOOD

I enjoyed dining at these two restaurants. My first recommendation is STK Ibiza.  STK has locations all over the US and I have been a fan of this restaurant (Chicago & San Diego) for years.  After eating seafood all over Europe this past summer,  I was craving a really great steak dinner and STK Ibiza, did not disappoint.   Overall, the dining experience was so lovely which included a dance show in the middle of the restaurant on a Sunday night!  My second recommendation is Juan Y Andrea (located in Formentera, an island off of Ibiza, about an hour via ferry).  This place has the best view of the beach/yachts and known for celebrity sightings…I may have seen a soccer player while dining here. haha! (my fave order: seafood pasta)

PARTY PLACES

In my opinion, the best places to party in Ibiza are Ushuaia and Pacha.  First, Ushuaia has so many famous and up & coming DJs in the summer (check the line-up on their website). My travel tip is to get a hotel room in Ushuaia because your $90 tickets for two are included in the hotel rate and you can go in/out of your hotel room as you please, thereby, saving you money by consuming alcohol in your room instead of the ~$20 very diluted drink at the bar. Second, Pacha is also a great place to party but I recommend buying tickets ahead of time to avoid the lines. Solomon was playing when I was there and was lucky enough to be in the front row VIP area, such a fun experience!

HOTELS

I have been to three hotels in Ibiza with my first time being in 2016 and as recently as 2018.  In 2016,  I booked the Sirenus Hotel Goleta Tres Carabelas & Spa and Ushuaia. Sirenus was an older hotel with a 4 star rating. However, the bed was uncomfortable, water went out into the hallway, etc. Needless to say, I would not recommend this hotel. On the other hand, Ushuaia was exactly what I needed after 2 days at Sirenus.  The hotel room was overlooking the music stage and pool, the room felt immaculately clean and the service was impeccable.  Additionally, I was just a few steps away from the beach so  I absolutely recommend staying here. 

Likewise, I recommend the Gran Hotel Montesol Ibiza, Curio Collection by Hilton in Ibiza Town. This hotel is across from the marina/ferry to Formentera and it is surrounded by restaurants and little shops.  Score!  I had a welcome champagne drink delivered to my room and I must say the bathroom is one of the best hotel bathrooms I’ve seen.
