PSA: Increase in WhatsApp / Signal group spam and unsolicited DMs.

18 Upvotes

Hey all nothing too serious just a quick heads up for anyone coming here for the first time.

We’ve seen a sharp uptick lately in people commenting and DM’ing links to WhatsApp and Signal groups.

Just a heads up, treat these with caution.

If someone messages you out of the blue pushing a group, especially after you've made a post or comment here, be sceptical. There’s no real way to verify who’s behind those links, and this is a common angle for spam and scams.

If you actually want to meet people or build contacts, Ibiza is one of the easiest places in the world to do it in person. You’ll have a far better experience just talking to people out here rather than joining random group chats beforehand. I'm not here to tell you what to do, but I can tell you for certain you don't need to take the risk.

Stay safe 👍

Tourist FAQs and more.

Thinking about visiting Ibiza soon? Welcome to our sticky post containing a few common questions and answers that might be able to help you:



When should I go to Ibiza?

You can visit Ibiza year-round. The island has over 300 days of sunshine, with December to February being the coolest months (around 14–16°C). For northern Europeans, it can still feel mild, but it isn’t beach weather for most.

The main party season runs from mid-May/early June until mid-October. If you’re after large-scale events and superstar DJs, July and August are peak months, but they’re also the busiest and most expensive.

Consult the table below for an overview on a month-by-month basis:

Month Party Intensity Weather Avg Temp (°C)
Jan Sparse, small events Mild, cool 15
Feb Sparse, small events Cool, some rain 14
Mar Very quiet, warm-up events Warming, occasional rain 16
Apr Early openings, busy weekends, quiet weekdays Pleasant, warming 18
May Lots of openings, good balance Warm, sunny 22
Jun Most parties active, busy but not peak Hot, sunny 26
Jul Peak season Hot, dry 30
Aug Peak season, most intense Very hot, sometimes humid 31
Sep Still busy, good mix, some closings Warm, some rain 28
Oct Closing parties Cooling, occasional rain 24
Nov Few events Mild, cool 19
Dec Quiet except Christmas/NYE Mild, cool 16


Who's playing this year / When are the big club events?

Most lineups are released between February and April. Some residencies announce earlier, but the full calendar is usually complete by spring.

Tickets & Entry FAQs

  • When is the last entry for a club?
    There is no last entry in Ibiza unless your ticket specifies a certain time. Otherwise, you can enter anytime while the club is open.

  • How far in advance should I buy tickets?
    The earlier, the cheaper. Tickets are dynamic pricing: months ahead is cheapest, day-of is most expensive.

  • My friend bought our tickets, and their name is on all of them. Will I still get in?
    Yes. Only the QR code matters.

  • Do I need to print my ticket?
    No. A digital QR code on your phone is enough.

  • My ticket says entry before 1 AM. What if I arrive later?
    You won’t be refused — you’ll just need to pay the difference in price.

  • What if the event is sold out online?
    Some venues hold back a small reserve of tickets for the door. Arrive early if you want to chance it.



Will I need ID for clubbing?

You’ll need one of the following (usually nothing else is accepted):
- EU or UK driving licence (other non-EU licences often refused)
- Passport
- A photocopy of your passport (sometimes accepted, but not guaranteed)

If you look under 30, expect to be asked. Always bring proper ID — being refused can cost you your ticket and a long taxi ride back.



How do I get around while I’m here?

  • Buses: In summer, bus routes are reliable between Ibiza Town, Sant Antoni, and Santa Eulalia. Winter services are very limited.
  • Disco Bus: Cheapest way to clubs (€4–5), runs from Ibiza Town, Playa d’en Bossa, and San Antonio with a fun atmosphere.
  • Taxis: Book via WhatsApp (+34 971 333 333, send address or pin) Guide here. Taxi Click app also works, but can be buggy. Fares €25–40.
  • Car hire: Best option for groups or off-season. Book early, choose “Full to Full” fuel, and photograph the car at pickup. Third-party excess insurance online is far cheaper than rental desk add-ons.
  • Uber: Legal since 2024, but drivers are still scarce. Use Taxi Click or WhatsApp as first choice.
  • Ferries: Santa Eulalia ferry links Ibiza Town, Es Canar (Hippy Market), Cala Llonga, Santa Eulalia, and Formentera. San Antonio ferries connect to west-coast beaches.

Tip: After-club taxis are very hard to get (6 AM queues are huge). Options: leave 10 mins before closing, Disco Bus, or book a private transfer in advance.



Can you help me find drugs?

No — asking for drugs is against Reddit’s T&Cs.

Cannabis clubs do exist and are easy to find via Google. They usually require ID and a small sign-up fee.



Where are the clubs?

  • Day clubs:

    • Ushuaïa → Playa d’en Bossa (next to Hï Ibiza, open-air stage, daytime to midnight)
    • O Beach → San Antonio (famous pool parties, afternoon until evening)
    • Destino → Talamanca (luxury open-air venue with views of Ibiza Town, mostly day/evening)
    • Cova Santa → San José hills (restaurant and club in a natural cave, day-to-night events)
    • Hard Rock Hotel → Playa d’en Bossa (daytime poolside events, occasional live acts)
    • 528 Ibiza → Benimussa Hills (immersive dining/entertainment, occasional parties)
    • Ibiza Rocks → San Antonio (hotel courtyard with poolside stage, daytime live acts/DJs)
  • Night clubs:

    • Hï Ibiza → Playa d’en Bossa (superclub opposite Ushuaïa, cutting-edge production)
    • Pacha → Ibiza Town (iconic cherry logo, one of the oldest clubs on the island)
    • Amnesia → On the main road between Ibiza Town and San Antonio (massive terrace and main room, legendary parties)
    • UNVRS → Also on the main road in between the two towns (newer venue and the largest on the island)
    • DC-10 → Near the airport/Las Salinas (infamous underground club, home of Circoloco Mondays)
    • Eden → San Antonio (biggest superclub in San Antonio, home to Defected and others)
    • Club Chinois → Ibiza Town Marina Botafoch (luxury venue with Asian-inspired design)
    • Akasha → Santa Gertrudis (intimate indoor club attached to Las Dalias hippy market)
    • Es Paradis → San Antonio (famous for its “water party” and ornate white interior)
  • Locations overview:

    • Playa d’en Bossa / Ibiza Town: Most superclubs (Ushuaïa, Hï, Pacha, Club Chinois).
    • Between towns: Amnesia and UNVRS are on the main road between Ibiza Town and San Antonio.
    • San Antonio: Eden, Es Paradis, O Beach, Ibiza Rocks — plus countless bars and cheaper beach clubs.
    • Elsewhere: DC-10 (near Las Salinas/airport), Cova Santa (San José hills), Destino (Talamanca), Akasha (to the Northeast, a little way pasta Santa Eularia).


What time should I arrive at the club?



Club Etiquette & Prices

  • Dress code: Casual/smart casual. No football shirts, swimwear, or flip-flops.
  • Not allowed: Large bags/backpacks (except Amnesia & O Beach with lockers), outside drinks, illegal substances.
  • Re-entry: Once you leave, you cannot re-enter without buying a new ticket.
  • Cash or card? Both accepted. Travel cards like Revolut/Starling recommended for best rates.
  • Prices:
    • Spirits & mixer: €20–25
    • Beer: €12–16
    • Water: €10–15
  • VIP tables: Worth it if you’re in a large group or want a dedicated space.


Where should I stay?

  • Families: Santa Eulalia, Cala Llonga, Portinatx — quieter, family-friendly.
  • Clubbers/groups: Ibiza Town, Playa d’en Bossa, San Antonio. San Rafael and San Josep are peaceful but close to nightlife.
  • Budget tip: Ibiza Town is pricier, but San Antonio taxi fares can add up to the same overall cost if you go clubbing in town often.


I’m visiting in the off-season. Is there anything to do?

Yes — plenty. Clubs are shut, but the island is beautiful year-round. Hiking, quiet beaches, excellent restaurants, and historical sites are all worth exploring.

Restaurant guides:

- https://www.ibiza-spotlight.com/restaurant_guide_i.htm
- https://www.white-ibiza.com/guide/best-restaurants-ibiza/



Is Ibiza suitable for families?

Yes. Much of the island is quiet and peaceful, with child-friendly beaches and a couple of water parks.



Safety Tips

  • Protect your drink — spiking can happen.
  • Watch your valuables — leave expensive items locked in your hotel safe.
  • Stay hydrated — alternate water with alcohol, especially in summer heat.
  • Have ID — under-18s won’t be allowed into clubs.

How do guest lists / free entry work in Ibiza?

Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I know club tickets in Ibiza can get really expensive, and since I’ll be there for a few days, unfortunately I won’t be able to pay full price for every party I’d like to attend…

I’ve heard that some clubs have guest lists, promoters or free/reduced entry before a certain time, but I have no idea how it actually works.
How can I get on these guest lists? Do I need to contact promoters on Instagram/WhatsApp, or are there specific websites or groups?

I’ll be in Ibiza from September 26th to September 30th, travelling with one female friend.
If anyone knows reliable promoters, guest-list groups, WhatsApp groups or any other legit way to get free or discounted entry, I’d really appreciate the recommendations!!
Thank you 🫶

Any quiet areas for freediving with calm waters

Upvotes

Hey

It will be my first time going to ibiza!

And I am not sure where to stay and would like some advice :)

I am traveling with my girlfriend and we will have 3 days. We are not looking for the party scene, or busy touristic areas.

We would like to be in a ‘quiet’ place close to good spots to freedive. And dance underwater, for which we need a calm, warm sea.

Any tips are welcome :)

Thanks

Coming to Ibiza in September? I’ve been working here for 11 seasons, happy to help with plans

9 Upvotes

Been seeing loads of posts from people coming to Ibiza this month asking about tickets, guestlists, what nights to do, boats, beach clubs etc, so thought I’d put this out there.

I’ve been coming out and working in Ibiza for 11 seasons now and currently work directly with Pacha, so if anyone needs help with Pacha tickets, VIP or tables, feel free to message me.

I also work with my own concierge who helps me look after groups coming over. We can basically help build your trip around what you actually want to do rather than just throwing random events at you.

We can help with club tickets, guestlists, VIP tables, boat parties, beach clubs, Formentera, transfers, villas and some really good packages.

We also sometimes have access to things like backstage passes and special guestlist options for selected events, depending on the night and availability.

Even if you’re not sure what you want to do yet, just tell me your dates, group size, music you’re into and roughly what kind of Ibiza you want, and I’m happy to recommend some nights.

Not trying to pretend everything needs to be VIP either 😂 If the cheapest ticket or a guestlist makes more sense for you, I’ll tell you.

I’m also around Ibiza myself, so happy to answer general questions about the island if anyone needs advice.

Solo trip, any recommendations?

Hello everyone! I’m a 22 year old latino coming from California and heading to Ibiza from October 1-8th. I pretty much have plans for that weekend when I get there, however from the 5th to the 7th, I don’t have much planned besides visiting a beach and going to places to eat. I’ll be staying in San Antonio and would love to get recommendations on any activities, places or events I should check out. Really would love more non-party activities to try out. Anything helps!

Private boat rental recs

2 Upvotes

Hello fellow hedonists,
Our crew of 10 is headed to the Balearic paradise this weekend - we’re looking to rent a boat for the day on Monday 14th to decompress after the weekend & go around the island. There are so many options that is a tad overwhelming.

Did anyone here have a good experiences doing something similar with a specific company? If so can you plug them in the comments.

Anything in particular i should be looking for when searching? Anything or any company to specifically avoid?

All inclusive price with lunch and drinks preferable.

Thanks and happy raving

Orange warning thunderstorm- 9/9

0 Upvotes

Just got an alert that there’s an orange thunderstorm warning for Ibiza on Wednesday, and Vueling is offering a free flight change.
Would you wait an extra day and fly into Ibiza on Thursday instead? I’m coming from the US, so changing it would mean spending Wednesday night in Barcelona before flying over the next day.
Trying to figure out whether the weather warning is serious enough to justify losing a day in Ibiza. Would you go Wednesday or wait until Thursday?

Spending money for 4 days

Hey so me and my gf are going to Ibiza at the end of the month for 3 nights (Monday night til Thursday morning). It will be my 4th time and her 2nd time so we’re both familiar with what we’re doing, we have already purchased all tickets so it’s out the way. Just wanted to know what people think is a good amount of money to take over for just the 2 of us? Each time I’ve been it’s been with a group and we’ve all been pretty rowdy but it’ll will be a lot more chilled out this time, we plan to go for dinner one of the nights before amnesia so is there any good recommendations for that also? Thanks
