Where is Ibiza? Ibiza is a small island lying 90 km off the East coast of Spain, in the Western Mediterranean. It is part of the Balearic islands. Ibiza is only a two hour flight from most major European Capitals (London, Berlin, Frankfurt, Paris, Milan, Zurich), and a four hour Ferry ride from Denia or Alicante on the coast of mainland Spain (now only 2 hours with the new super-fast ferries). What are the Balearics? The Balearic islands (in Spanish, the 'Baleares'), are made up of Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera (which is a small island lying visibly just off the South coast of Ibiza). They belong to Spain and are a favourite holiday resort in the Mediterranean and Europe, both as a stand alone destination, and as a popular stop over as part of a European tour. Indeed, Ibiza has to be one of the most beautiful and entertaining holiday resorts in the world, enjoying a wonderful mixture of culture, vegetation, beaches and nightlife. How Big is Ibiza? Ibiza is only 45 km long and 25 km wide, and has a year round population of 100.000. This of course increases dramatically during the summer months, when many seasonal workers and tourists descend upon the island. Most of the population is centered in and around the three major towns: the capital Ibiza Town, San Antonio and Santa Eulalia. Distances: Ibiza Town - San Antonio: 16 Km Ibiza Town - Santa Eulalia: 15 Km San Antonio - Santa Eulalia: 17 Km The Summer season runs from the 1st of May until the 31st October, although in recent years more hotels are offering all year accommodation.August is the fullest month, when it can get very crowded on both beaches and roads. How developed is Ibiza? Ibiza boasts an impressive, modern infrastructure: including an excellent public transport network, extensive mobile and fixed telephone network; running water and electricity in all towns and villages; highspeed internet access; and excellent travel connections to the rest of Europe and mainland Spain, by air and by sea.
