Ibiza Island
As the Mediterranean's main tourist destination, the Illes Balears enjoy excellent air links with Spain and the principal cities in Europe and the world.
The island offers a wide choice of agro tourism, another kind of accommodation which immerses you in the local charm and tradition. On the leisure side, Ibiza offers a host of activities with amongst others excursions in the countryside, horse riding, cyclo tourism, cultural sites and gastronomical itineraries.
You can reach the island either by plane or ship. Ibiza has its own airport, Sant Josep, set in the southern part of the island. Several airlines provide direct access from the Spanish Peninsula and Europe.
The three main ports are the ports of Ibiza, Santa Eulària and Sant Antoni. The ferry companies -Balearia, Iscomar and Acciona- sail to the ports of Ibiza and Sant Antoni from different places on mainland Spain.
Apart from the ferry crossings, it is also possible to reach the island by private ship, chartered crossings and various cruises. The regular sea crossings reach the island of Ibiza from Barcelona, Valencia, Dénia and Palma de Mallorca.
