Far from just being a party island, Ibiza has so much to offer.
Soft white beaches lapped by the sparkling Mediterranean sea make the isle a serene summer getaway, and there are plenty of family-friendly resorts guaranteed to delight all. Even the flight is child approved, clocking in at just under three hours… perfect! Here are our top picks for a peaceful family holiday.
Santa Eulalia
The third-busiest resort on the isle, Santa Eulalia is perfect for taking a step back from the busiest tourist areas. Situated on the east coast, the resort offers an array of boutique shops, charming eateries and a popular adventure park; where hours of fun await adrenaline seekers and laid-back types alike. A frequent 20-minute ferry to Ibiza Town ensures you’re never too far away from the action when needed!
Es Canar
A small but idyllic retreat with a serene beach spot, this hidden gem offers plenty to keep boredom at bay. Diving, windsurfing, kitesurfing and parasailing are all on offer; each offering fantastic views over eastern Ibiza. Shopping enthusiasts will not miss out on a visit to the traditional hippy markets at Punta Arabi or Las Dalias.
Portinatx
A popular hotspot for all generations; Portinatx is located in the quiet, but beautiful north of the island. Catering best for families who wish to enjoy a relaxing time together, the resort has well-equipped beaches, hiking trails and snorkelling excursions.
Playa D’en Bossa
The top-rated waterpark and endless stretch of beach puts this resort as a firm family favourite. Filled with activities for toddlers, children and teens alike; you can find everything from a gentle paddle, to horse trekking, zip lining, jet skiing and everything in-between!
San José
A unique community full of traditional charm, Sant Josep (as it is called in Catalan) is awash with cobbled alleyways, white churches and plenty of high-quality eateries. The picturesque Cala Bassa beach situated close by is also perfect for little ones. The sweeping beach cove makes it feel like a natural swimming pool, and there’s plenty of rock pools to explore.
Whilst Ibiza is traditionally associated as a party destination, there are quiet nooks to be found across the isle; offering a peaceful, tranquil getaway for parents and a holiday filled with adventure for little ones.
