Flights from Belfast to Ibiza

Ibiza: sun and party 

Ibiza has a well-deserved reputation for its hedonistic nightlife, but the Balearic island has long been popular as an idyllic escape for bohemians. Ibiza isn't all about the banging beats either, with tranquil beaches and relaxed restaurants offering chill-out options. 

When should you plan to go to Ibiza?

Ibiza enjoys a balmy Mediterranean climate for much of the year, with summer temperatures around 30°C. Winters can be wet and breezy, although the temperature rarely drops into single figures. Summer sees the island host several music festivals. The 'Ibiza Rocks' events are staged from mid-June through to mid-September with concerts to suit a broad range of musical tastes. 

Ibiza tips before you travel

Catalan and Spanish are the primary languages on Ibiza. English is widely spoken, but it is courteous to try a few local phrases. Everyday expenses are lower than in the UK and shopping in the lively markets for clothes and beach items can be a very economical option. Hire cars need to be booked in advance, particularly at the height of the season in July and August. Extra care should be taken if driving on Ibiza's roads after dark.
