Tips for Your Ibiza Trip
Getting There:
Puig d'en Valls is only a few kilometers from Ibiza Airport (IBZ). A taxi takes about 10-15 minutes. Buses go from the airport to Ibiza Town, then you can take another short bus or taxi to Puig d'en Valls. Renting a car is a good idea if you want to explore the island, especially to get to places like Agroturismo Can Arabí Ibiza or Ses Llaneres, and to easily reach beaches and other towns.
Dress Code:
Ibiza is casual and bohemian. Beachwear is fine during the day. For evenings, especially in nicer restaurants or clubs in Ibiza Town, smart-casual is usually best. But many places let you express your personal style. Be comfortable, especially if you plan to dance all night.
Ages:
Ibiza attracts all age groups. The club scene in Ibiza Town is mostly for adults 18+, and most places need ID. The LGBTQ+-friendly hotels welcome all adult ages.
Safety:
Ibiza is generally safe for LGBTQ+ travelers. It's known for being inclusive. But, like anywhere, use common sense: be aware of your surroundings, watch your belongings, and don't walk alone in unfamiliar areas late at night. Local authorities support the LGBTQ+ community, and you'll find a respectful atmosphere across the island.
