The Spanish island of Ibiza is located in the Mediterranean Sea and belongs to the Balearic Islands archipelago. Ibiza is located east of the Spanish mainland and southwest of the island of Mallorca. 

There are several ways to travel to Ibiza, but from the Netherlands the most common is to the plane catch. Ibiza has an international airport (IBZ) and direct flights from many destinations in Europe.

Personally, we think spring and fall are the best periods to go on vacation to Ibiza. During both periods, the weather is pleasant on the Spanish island and there are fun parties you can attend. A big advantage is also that you miss the hustle and bustle of the high season.
