Good weather is just around the corner, bringing with it two essentials: sunshine and travel. Together, they make the perfect combination we all need. The Balearic Islands are a popular choice for these much-anticipated dates. They´ve got everything you need for a perfect spring break. Spending Easter in Ibiza is a wonderful way to kick off the new season as hotels start to open their doors and the streets fill up with plans. Grab a pen and paper because you’re going to need to jot down the variety of things to do on the White Island if you’re traveling as a couple. From visiting the old town to taking a getaway to Formentera, and many other things besides.
Easter Week in Ibiza: Visit Dalt Vila
The old town of Ibiza is a must-visit during your trip to the Balearic Island. It is surrounded by Renaissance walls in the shape of a hexagon, which have been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1999. Among the attractions you can’t miss in Dalt Vila are the Cathedral of Santa Maria of the Snows, the Town Hall, the castle, and various museums like the Ibiza Contemporary Art Museum. Another spot to visit is the charming pedestrian area of the city’s harbor, right next to the old town, filled with shops and restaurants.
Enjoy the Best Sunsets in the Mediterranean
The Balearic Islands boast the best sunsets in the Mediterranean, and Ibiza offers plenty of spots to witness them. From the famous Es Vedrà to the Ses Salines Natural Park, Benirràs Beach, Sa Talaia Mountain, or a stroll along Ses Variades in San Antonio Bay.
You also have the option of renting a boat on the island and live the experience of watching the sunset from a boat, undoubtedly a wonder of the Mediterranean and one of the plans for couples that never disappoint.
Escape from Ibiza to Formentera
Traveling to Ibiza means being very close to the smallest island in the Balearics. From various points on the island, you can catch a ferry to Formentera, reaching it in about 20 minutes. The island is one of Spain’s gems, filled with beautiful beaches and coves of white sand and turquoise waters. Experience the peace and relaxation that this island offers during your easter week.
Couple’s plans: Enjoy nature
The White Island is the perfect option to connect with natural spaces, incredible landscapes, beaches, coves, and cliffs. To start enjoying the good weather, we recommend visiting some of its wonderful beaches, like Cala Salada or Cala Saladeta, -a bit removed from urban areas.
You can also enjoy nature at Bibo Park, a green space showcasing the island’s biodiversity, from rocky terrains to aloe vera plants.
Gastronomy: typical dishes of Ibiza
Ibiza boasts a variety of traditional dishes that, while not widely known outside the island, are definitely worth trying. Let’s take a look at some of these typical dishes so you can keep them in mind for your next Easter trip to Ibiza. You’ll want to try them all!
1. Guisat de Peix: This is the Ibizan equivalent of fish stew. It consists of a sauce combined with potatoes, olive oil, garlic, onion, parsley, saffron, and almonds.
2. Sofrit Pagès: Served in two parts, it includes a soup and the sofrit itself. This dish is a stew made with various meats and potatoes, seasoned with spices such as cinnamon, cloves, saffron, and paprika.
And for something sweeter… one of the most famous desserts on the island is Flaó. It’s Ibiza’s take on cheesecake, made with local milk (from sheep or goats), flavored with mint leaves, and topped with powdered sugar.
During Easter, many hotels begin to open their doors. Reserve your stay at Vibra Hotels for sea-view rooms at the best price. Vibra Algarb, located on Playa d’en Bossa, is directly on the beach and just 3 km from the city center—an ideal choice. Plus, if you love Mediterranean cuisine, their in-house restaurant, Seahorse, offers rice dishes, seafood, and cocktails with stunning views.
Another great option is the Vibra Marítimo hotel, open all year round next to the Ses Figueretes promenade, where you can enjoy excellent breakfasts or brunch by the sea at the Blavós restaurant.
If you’re looking for accommodation further from the city but still close to the beach, Vibra Hotels in San Antonio Bay, like the Vibra San Remo hotel, is another great pick. It’s an incredible value option with sea views, a pool, and all-inclusive service.
These are just a few of the many activities you can enjoy during your trip to Ibiza over Easter. The island is full of life, and thanks to its wonderful climate, it’s always a good time to visit. And if you stay at one of the mentioned Vibra Hotels… then it’s a fantastic trip!
