10 Best Family Things to Do in Ibiza
What to Do for Fun in Ibiza with Your Kids?
Our list of the best family things to do in Ibiza proves that, while it may be one of Spain’s most popular places for non-stop partying, there are plenty of family-friendly activities dotted around this Balearic Island. The coastline is lined with hiking, horse-riding, and bike trails with gorgeous views of the ocean, while natural caves such as Cova de Can Marca are home to well-preserved fossils, rock formations, and underground lakes.
If Ibiza’s beaches are too crowded for your liking, theme parks are popular alternatives. The little ones can enjoy hours of sliding down multi-coloured water rides or paddling in kiddie pools while adults can relax on sundecks at a safe distance. You can also make a trip to one of many hippy markets on the island, most of which have designated children’s play areas where they can join fun workshops throughout the day. Read on for our guide on things to do with your family in Ibiza.
