THE OVERVIEW
Four or five nights gives Ibiza enough room for the old town, a quieter coastal base and one slower day in the countryside or around Ses Salines. Choose the hotel around the evenings that matter most, then keep transfers deliberate. The island feels busiest in July and August; May, June and late September usually bring warm conditions with a little more breathing room.
