Getting to Ibiza
By Air
Ibiza airport handles some 6 million passengers each year, so it will come as no surprise to learn that Flights to the island are frequent and cheap, with budget airlines operating services from all over Europe.
From the UK, daily flights operate from spring to autumn from a variety of airports including London, Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow. In winter, flights are less frequent but prices drop and some excellent deals are available.
By Sea
Baleària and Trasmediterranea both operate ferry services between Valencia and Eivissa, with crossings costing between £100 and £200 depending on the time of year.
Car Hire
To reach the crags, it will be necessary to rent a car – these are cheap and plentiful, and can be easily reserved online for collection at the airport.
Accommodation
The two main accommodation options are hotels in the resorts or self-catering Fincas in the countryside. Prices and availability vary enormously by season.
Staying in one of the resort hotels is usually the cheapest option, particularly in spring and autumn outside of the main tourist season. The lively town of Sant Antoni has the widest range of hotel accommodation, though some of it is very 'low-budget' and the town can be a bit raucous during the clubbing season.
Further north, the village of Port Sant Miquel is probably a better option. This much smaller resort has fewer hotels to choose from, but has a lot more character whilst still providing all of the amenities such as bars, shops, restaurants and a good beach. Its main
advantage, however, is the fact that it is very well situated for most of the
climbing on the island's north coast.
For groups or visitors looking for self-catering accommodation, many villas (fincas) are available throughout the island's interior. These can easily be found and booked online.
