Day Trips from Ibiza – Ferries, Islands & Easy Escapes
Day trips here are about clarity: a clean plan, a light bag, and one or two anchors that shape the day. The classics below are popular for good reason—they pair turquoise shallows with simple transport and scenery that feels unforced.
Formentera: Sugar-White Sands & Bike Paths
Sail an hour south and Ibiza’s buzz dissolves into hush. Our Formentera Day Trip outlines how to move like a local: ferry to La Savina, rent bikes or a scooter, then drift along flat coastal lanes toward Ses Illetes and beyond. The water here is famously clear—seagrass meadows filter the shallows into glass.
- Ferries run frequently from Ibiza Town (Eivissa) to La Savina.
- Pack light: towel, reef-safe sunscreen, water, hat.
- Time the return to catch golden hour back in Ibiza port.
Two-Way Ferry Ticket: Flex Your Timing
If you want the simplest ticketing, choose a flexible Two-Way Ferry Ticket. It lets you pick outbound and return windows on the day, which is ideal if the sea is too good to leave—or if a slow lunch runs longer than planned. Keep an eye on the last sailings and the wind forecast; both shape the mood of the crossing.
Map Logic & Pairings
- Morning ferry → bikes → Ses Illetes · easy swims, long light, minimal transfers.
- Midday ferry → lighthouse loop · coastal views, café stop, sunset back in Ibiza.
- Calm seas forecast · choose later return and linger on the beach trail.
Packing & Pace
Day trips are better when you travel like a local. Wear closed shoes for paths and piers, bring a refillable bottle, and carry a light layer for the ride home. A small dry bag keeps phones and cards safe on windy decks. Most importantly, plan one anchor only; the rest should feel optional.
