About Ibiza

Dalt Vila's walls and cobbled lanes sit above the harbor, Ses Salines and Cala Comte provide the clearest swimming on the south and west coasts, and Es Vedrà rises offshore near Cala d'Hort. The sunset bars at Sant Antoni and the clubs around Platja d'en Bossa define the other half of the island's reputation. June through September covers both halves of the island's season, with July and August the peak.
