Contrary to commonly held belief and years of stereotype, Ibiza is a fantastic place for families. In general, the Spanish are more patient and welcoming of children in restaurants – it’s not uncommon to see toddlers at dinner at 9pm, without subjecting their parents to tuts and looks of disapproval from staff or fellow diners – and in Ibiza, many hospitality workers seem to genuinely like being around kids: expect treats, jokes, and the like.
Of course, there’s also the fact that the island offers a plethora of child-appropriate activities, from the beaches (many of which have a shop nearby selling sun cream, umbrellas, water toys and other essentials) and day trips to Formentera to villages that are worth exploring—but interesting and small enough to keep young minds entertained.
