• Visa & Entry for Switzerland citizens: As a Swiss passport holder, you can enter Spain (including Ibiza) visa-free for stays up to 90 days within any 180-day period under the Schengen Agreement. Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure date. Starting in 2024, you'll need to register with ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System) before travel, costing €7 and valid for 3 years. No arrival forms required. Keep proof of accommodation and return ticket handy, though rarely checked.
• Safety for solo female travelers: Ibiza is generally very safe, but stay alert in crowded clubs and bars. Never leave drinks unattended, use official taxis or Uber at night (pre-book through apps), and share your location with friends. The Playa d'en Bossa and Ibiza Town areas are well-lit and busy. Avoid walking alone on empty beaches or rural roads after dark. Hotel safes are essential for valuables.
• Transportation: Rent a scooter (€20-30/day) or car for freedom to explore beaches and villages—you'll need an international driving permit with your Swiss license. Buses are cheap but infrequent to remote beaches. Taxis are expensive; use MyTaxi app or pre-book. Many clubs offer free shuttle buses from major hotels—check their websites. Parking is challenging in Ibiza Town during summer.
• Money-saving tips: Pre-book club tickets online for 20-40% discounts versus door prices. Supermarkets (Mercadona, Eroski) are great for picnic supplies and breakfast. Lunch menus (menú del día) at local restaurants offer 3 courses for €12-18. Beach clubs require minimum consumption—arrive early to secure beds. Free beaches like Cala Comte and Cala Salada are just as beautiful as beach clubs.
• Meeting other travelers: Stay in hostels like Urban Spaces with organized events and pub crawls. Join boat party tours departing from San Antonio—great for solo travelers. Beach clubs and sunset spots like Sunset Ashram are naturally social. Use apps like Meetup or Bumble BFF to find group activities. Las Dalias market on Saturdays attracts a friendly international crowd.
• Best time to visit: Peak season (July-August) has the best club lineups but is crowded and expensive. June and September offer warm weather, lower prices, and great vibes with fewer tourists. Many clubs close October-April. For nightlife, visit when your favorite DJs are playing—check club websites for lineups. Book accommodation 2-3 months ahead for summer.
• Local customs: Dinner starts late (9-10pm), clubs don't fill until 1-2am, and parties go until sunrise. Dress codes at top clubs (Pacha, Ushuaïa) are enforced—no flip-flops, sportswear, or beachwear. Tipping 5-10% is appreciated but not mandatory. Spanish siesta means many shops close 2-5pm. Learn basic Spanish phrases—locals appreciate the effort, though English is widely spoken in tourist areas.
