Ibiza, officially known as Eivissa in Catalan, is part of Spain’s Balearic Islands and lies in the western Mediterranean Sea. With a population of around 150,000, the island welcomes millions of visitors each year, drawn by its mix of cultural heritage, natural beauty, and relaxed lifestyle. Spanish and Catalan are the official languages, but English is widely spoken, especially in tourist areas. The currency is the Euro (€), and credit cards are accepted nearly everywhere. The island operates on Central European Time (CET), and in the summer months, it enjoys long, sunny days with average temperatures ranging from 25–30°C (77–86°F). Cruise ships dock at the Port of Ibiza, either at Botafoc Pier or closer to the Old Town; shuttle buses or taxis connect passengers quickly to the city center. Ibiza is very walkable, especially in Ibiza Town, and public transport (mainly buses) is available for reaching beaches and inland villages. Tap water is technically safe to drink, but many locals and visitors prefer bottled water due to taste. Free Wi-Fi is common in hotels, restaurants, and some public areas. Ibiza is known for its relaxed vibe and friendly locals, and safety is generally not a concern, though standard travel precautions are advised. Shops typically open around 10?am, close for a mid-day siesta, and reopen in the evening; restaurants often serve dinner late, with peak dining times between 9–11?pm. While famous for nightlife, Ibiza also has a rich cultural scene, especially in historic Dalt Vila, and hosts festivals, markets, and art shows year-round. The island blends old and new, quiet and lively, making it a comfortable and welcoming stop for cruise travelers.
