When planning your trip to Ibiza, you can take advantage of regular discounts offered by ferry companies. Although these may vary depending on the operator, you can usually find the following offers:

• Children (up to 13 years old): 40%-50% discount
• Seniors (60+ or 65+): around 40% discount

Tip: on Ferryhopper, you can easily check which discounts are available for each crossing. Just choose the one that applies to you and the discount will be automatically reflected in the final ticket price.

The best time to book your ferry tickets to Ibiza depends on when you plan to travel. If you are planning your trip during the summer high season (June to September), it is best to book your tickets at least 2 months in advance.

When traveling in the off-peak seasons, you can afford to book your Ibiza ferry tickets closer to your date of departure. Keep in mind that demand for tickets can be higher during certain periods and on specific routes:

• Long weekends and major holidays, like Christmas and Easter.
• Connections from mainland Spain (especially the shorter Dénia - Ibiza route) if you are traveling with a vehicle.

Ibiza, off the coast of Spain, is one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean that blends an electrifying nightlife with a stunning landscape and rich history. While the Balearic island is famous for its world-class clubs and golden beaches, it also offers charming old towns, scenic coastal trails, and a laid-back island atmosphere that keeps visitors coming back.

There is plenty to see and do in Ibiza, but some of its greatest highlights are the UNESCO-listed old town of Dalt Vila, the ancient Phoenician ruins of Sa Caleta, and the breathtaking views from the historic Es Savinar watchtower. Nature and adrenaline enthusiasts will find hidden coves with crystal-clear waters to explore, rugged cliffs perfect for hiking, and even peaceful retreats in Ibiza’s quieter northern region.

For a taste of local life, visit the island’s traditional markets, try bullit de peix (one of Ibiza’s traditional dishes, a fish stew served with alioli) at a beachside chiringuito, or catch an unforgettable sunset at Cala Comte.

Here are some useful tips for your ferry trip to Ibiza:

• Plan to be at the port at least 1 hr before your scheduled departure, especially if you are traveling with your car, to ensure a smooth check-in and boarding process.
• The sea can get choppy, so if you are prone to seasickness, consider taking some motion sickness tablets before your journey. As always, discuss your options with your pharmacist or doctor.
• The most affordable way to get around in Ibiza is either by car or bus. While taxis are convenient, they are also the most expensive transport option on the island.
• If you are looking to continue your adventure at sea, keep in mind that Ibiza is a great starting point for island hopping in the Balearics.
• Check out the Ferryhopper Ibiza nightlife guide for more information on where to go and how to move around the island in the evening.

On the island of Ibiza, there are 2 ports: the main port of Ibiza Town, located on the southeast coast, and the port of San Antonio on the southwest coast.

Do ferries arrive in Ibiza Town or San Antonio?

All regular ferry routes to and from Ibiza operate through the port of Ibiza Town (Eivissa). This is the island’s main passenger port and the only one handling ferry connections with mainland Spain and the other Balearic Islands.

The port of San Antonio is mainly used for local traffic, leisure boats and excursions, but no commercial ferries depart from or arrive there.

The port of Ibiza Town is about 1.5 km from the city centre and just a 10-min drive from the airport. As the largest and busiest port on the island, it’s surrounded by shops, restaurants, cafés and hotels, ideal if you’re catching an early or late ferry.

You’ll also find vehicle rental offices right at the port, perfect for exploring the island at your own pace, as well as taxi ranks and local buses connecting you with the main resorts and beaches.

If you’re travelling with your own car or motorbike, the port’s direct access to the island’s main road network makes getting around easy from the moment you disembark.
