Compare Ibiza flights

Ibiza is one of the most popular destinations in the Med, and it’s easy to find cheap flights to the island, particularly in summer. Ibiza Airport, on the southern tip of the island, welcomes visitors in their droves during the ‘season’ between May and October.

This is the third largest of the Balearics, behind Majorca and Menorca, and while it is famous for electronic music and nightlife, it also has some surprisingly unspoilt beaches and sun-baked rural landscapes. Because all the action takes place on the coast, a short drive inland can make the super clubs feel light years away.

Ibiza is an extremely seasonal destination, and flights reflect this. The ‘season’ refers to the time between May and October when the nightclubs open for business; outside of this time, there are far fewer direct flights from the UK. During the season, prices increase but you can still get some decent deals. Low-cost airlines that fly to Ibiza include Vueling, easyJet and TUI.

It’s often much cheaper to fly midweek rather than over the weekend if you can. If you’re only going for a few days, consider travelling light and just taking hand luggage, saving money on checked baggage.

The average time for a non-stop flight to Ibiza varies between 2 hours 25 minutes and 3 hours 5 minutes. Airports across the UK fly direct to Ibiza, but you can sometimes find a cheaper deal by flying indirect, with stops in Spain or elsewhere in Europe. Flights with stops can take from around 4 hours to more than 10 hours. However, there are so many direct flights to Ibiza during peak season that it is often cheaper and quicker to fly direct.

There’s no doubt that Ibiza’s buzzing nightlife is what draws most visitors, but even within the nightlife scene there is far more variety than newbies tend to think. The San Antonio 'strip' is the place to go for rowdy bars; super clubs such as Pacha and Amnesia attract dance music royalty; and celebrities can be spotted at exclusive beach clubs such as Nikki Beach.

But you'll also find gentle chill-out sets and a laid-back, hippy-ish vibe at some of the more upmarket bars and out-of-the-way beaches. Our Ibiza holiday page will give you an idea of the sorts of flight and hotel packages available.

There is also a quiet, unspoilt side to Ibiza, with some stunning coastline and peaceful countryside inland. The forested hills are home to some luxurious resorts, while the picturesque Ses Salines Nature Reserve is rich in coastal wildlife. If you’d like to explore this other side of Ibiza, consider hiring a car so you can roam the island at will.
