Ibiza: salt, seagrass and a city wall
The island's World Heritage listing holds nine components at once, from the Posidonia meadows offshore to the old town of Dalt Vila. With them the salt pans of Ses Salines, at work since the Middle Ages.

Ibiza in brief
Ibiza covers 571.8 square kilometres and forms the Pityusic Islands together with Formentera. Since 1999 it has held World Heritage status as “Ibiza, Biodiversity and Culture”, an inscription of nine components taking in seagrass meadows and salt pans as much as the old town of Dalt Vila. Most foreign guests arrive from Britain, then Italy, and the hotels have stayed largely in Ibizan family ownership.

The travel year in Ibiza, month by month
The year as a table to read and to cite: crowd level for every month, plus weather comfort and temperature from the climate normals.
| Month | Crowd level0–100, season-relative | Weather comfort0–100, profile “mild” | Avg temperature |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | 0 | 58 | 12 °C |
| February | 2 | 61 | 13 °C |
| March | 8 | 69 | 14 °C |
| April | 26 | 79 | 17 °C |
| May | 62 | 87 | 21 °C |
| June | 82 | 83 | 26 °C |
| July | 93 | 75 | 28 °C |
| August | 98 | 73 | 28 °C |
| September | 80 | 78 | 25 °C |
| October | 54 | 84 | 21 °C |
| November | 7 | 73 | 16 °C |
| December | 1 | 62 | 13 °C |
The crowd level is season-relative: 100 is the annual peak of Ibiza itself, not the busiest destination in Europe. The figures say when it is quiet here — not where it is quieter than elsewhere.
Weather comfort 0–100 from the climate normals, profile “mild” – the same profile as the recommendation above, not the selection in the calendar. A “–” means the data for that month is missing.

Ibiza in detail
Location and shape
Ibiza belongs to the Balearics and forms the Pityusic Islands together with Formentera; it covers 571.8 square kilometres and holds five municipalities. Its high point is Sa Talaia at 476 metres.
A World Heritage site of nature and town
Since 1999 the island has held World Heritage status as “Ibiza, Biodiversity and Culture”, one inscription of nine components covering habitats and buildings together: seagrass meadows offshore, the Ses Salines nature park, stretches of coast and the cliff landscape of Els Amunts, alongside the walled old town of Dalt Vila above Ibiza town, the Moorish gardens of Ses Feixes, the necropolis of Puig des Molins and the Phoenician remains at Sa Caleta. Sa Caleta lies in the south of the island.
The salt pans
Also in the south lies the Ses Salines nature park, reaching across to Formentera: salt pans, wetlands, birdlife. Those salt pans are economic history. They brought the island a measure of prosperity in the Middle Ages and remained common property into the nineteenth century; through that time every islander was obliged to help work them. They are still working: in 2016 some 65,000 tonnes of salt came off 450 hectares, around 19,000 of them as road salt for Norway and Scotland; the largest share of the year's output went to the Faroes and to Denmark, where it is worked into klippfisk.
Settlements
In the north, the Can Marçà dripstone cave can be walked with a guide. The towns are cast differently: Sant Antoni sits on the west coast, Santa Eulalia del Río on the east coast has a marina, Sant Joan in the north counts as rural and quiet, and Es Canar is where the Punta Arabí hippie market is held. Playa d'en Bossa in the south has long sand, beach clubs and nightclubs. Formentera lies offshore, and with it Ibiza forms the Pityusic Islands.
Visitors, language, supply
Britons first came here on holiday in the mid-1930s; civil war and the Second World War cut that short, and tourism only grew to any scale in the 1970s. Catalan and Spanish are the official languages. Farming does not cover the island's own needs, and most goods arrive from the mainland.
How it differs from Mallorca
Against Mallorca, Ibiza is the far smaller island: 571.8 square kilometres against 3,603.7, roughly a sixth. Three differences from the neighbouring island are on record. Most foreign guests arrive from Britain and then Italy, and German is markedly less common here than on the larger island next door. And unlike the other large Spanish holiday destinations, namely Mallorca, the Canaries, Catalonia and the Costa del Sol, the hotels here have stayed largely in Ibizan family ownership, the local chains included. Where Mallorca's listing is a worked mountain range, Ibiza's single inscription takes in seagrass meadows, salt pans, cliff coast, an old town and Phoenician graves.
