3-Day Ibiza Guide: Itinerary
Your Ibiza Travel Guide for 3 Perfect Days
Ibiza is so much more than parties. In just 3 days, you can enjoy turquoise-water coves, unforgettable sunsets, great food, and plans for every taste. In this Ibiza travel guide, we suggest an itinerary designed to make the most of a short getaway, combining beaches, charming villages, and a touch of nightlife.
We take San Antonio (Sant Antoni de Portmany) as our starting point, one of the best areas to book accommodation in Ibiza if you’re looking for great value for money and a peaceful atmosphere to rest. From here, you can easily move around the island and return each evening to a comfortable space such as a boutique hostal in San Antonio Ibiza—ideal for couples, friends, and travellers who want to explore.
If you also want to choose the right base to get around without wasting time, here’s where to stay in Ibiza: area guide.
Before you start: how to make the most of 3 days in Ibiza
Three days are enough to discover a very complete side of Ibiza, but not to try to explore the entire island without stopping. That is why this itinerary is organised by areas: it combines the west coast, the south, Ibiza Town and San Antonio so that the journeys make sense and each day keeps a pleasant pace.
This itinerary is designed especially for a first trip to the island: it includes iconic coves, a cultural afternoon in Dalt Vila, seafront restaurants, sunsets and the option to add nightlife depending on the type of trip you are looking for.
Three tips to make the plan work
1. Do not try to fit too many coves into the same day: it is far better to properly enjoy two or three stops than spend the day driving. In high season, book any restaurants and beach clubs you have in mind in advance, especially in Cala Bassa, Cala Comte, Ses Salines or Ibiza Town.
2. If it is your first time on the island, these local tips for planning your first visit to Ibiza will be helpful. And, if you are getting around by car, take a look at our guide to parking in Ibiza by area first.
3. Using San Antonio as your base makes the west-coast days especially easy and allows you to end the trip close to the bay, restaurants and sunsets without adding unnecessary journeys.
DAY 1: CALA BASSA, CALA COMTE & SUNSET ON THE WEST COAST
From the peaceful vibe of Cala Bassa to the spectacular views of Cala Comte, the first day of this 3 days in Ibiza guide is designed to make you forget about the clock: a morning on white sand surrounded by pine trees, a swim in turquoise waters, lunch by the sea and a postcard-perfect sunset on the west coast. A simple yet complete plan that combines relaxation, great food and one of the most famous sunsets on the island, just a few minutes’ drive from your boutique hostel in San Antonio Ibiza.
CALA BASSA BEACH
Turquoise waters and fine sand, Cala Bassa is famous for its white sand and crystal clear sea. The shallow waters make it an ideal place for a refreshing swim.
CbbC
If you want to enjoy a meal overlooking the sea, Cala Bassa Beach Club is an excellent choice. With a sophisticated atmosphere and good music, you can enjoy Mediterranean dishes and exquisite cocktails (book in advance during high season).
WATER ACTIVITIES

CALA COMTE BEACH
A beach with deep blue waters and stunning views of the islands of Conejera, Isla del Bosque and s'Espartar. A perfect place for snorkeling.

If you are looking for a perfect day in Ibiza combining nature, partying and a spectacular sunset, this itinerary will take you through some of the most iconic corners of the island. From the crystal clear waters of Cala Saladeta to the vibrant energy of the beach clubs of San Antonio, end the day enjoying an unforgettable sunset on the Sunset Strip.

Punta Galera, a unique place in Ibiza, known for its impressive flat rock formations. Here you will find a peaceful environment ideal for relaxing, swimming in crystal clear waters and snorkeling.

Cala Saladeta, a more intimate and paradisiacal beach. Considered one of the most beautiful coves of Ibiza, its incredibly clear water and white sand will make you feel in a real paradise.

Don't miss Rebos de Can Prats. This restaurant offers excellent Ibicencan cuisine with fresh and tasty dishes. Its cozy atmosphere and friendly service make it the perfect place to enjoy a delicious and authentic dinner.
O Beach + Eden: the most straightforward package for an afternoon and night of partying
I would include it as an optional alternative for anyone who wants to turn the afternoon and evening of Day 3 into a complete leisure plan in San Antonio, without needing to travel to another area of the island.
Activities to complete your 3-day getaway in Ibiza
This itinerary works perfectly on your own, but there are experiences that can make one of the days even more special. The key is to choose just one activity that fits the area you are already visiting, without adding plans that require crossing the island again.
If you want to compare more plans based on the way you like to travel, our complete guide to activities in Ibiza includes boat trips, adventure, nature and leisure experiences to complete your stay at your own pace.
Ibiza: Beach Cruise with Paddleboarding, Snacks and Drinks
The best option to extend Day 1 as an alternative to exploring Cala Bassa and Cala Comte by car. It adds sea views, swimming, paddleboarding and the west coast.
Cala Codolar: Sea and Cave Kayak Tour with Snorkelling
A great option for anyone looking for a more active morning before continuing to Cala Comte and ending the day with the sunset. Cala Codolar fits naturally into a west-coast itinerary.
Ibiza: Cala Salada and North Coast Cruise with Drinks and Snorkelling
It is probably the most suitable option for Day 3, as it replaces the land route through Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta with an experience at sea near San Antonio.
