Ibiza is famous for its luxurious lifestyle and vibrant nightlife, but it doesn’t have to break the bank. With a few savvy strategies, you can enjoy everything this iconic island offers while staying within your budget. Here are 10 budget-friendly tips, crafted with an insider perspective from Extra Ibiza.  

1. Plan Early, Save Big

Booking flights and accommodation early is key to saving money. January is one of the cheapest months to book your Ibiza adventure, and securing your plans 7-8 weeks in advance can cut costs significantly. It not only helps in cutting costs, but will also help you in saving for your trip: the amount in 1 month is way harder to do then in 3 months. And good news, our experience architects are more than ready to start and help you creating your ultimate Ibiza adventure!

2. Rent a Villa with a Group

It does not seem logical at first, but skip the hotels and overpriced Airbnb stays. Renting a villa with friends or family is often much more affordable, especially when splitting costs. Plus, you’ll enjoy more space, privacy, and that exclusive Ibiza vibe which will also give you the opportunity to spend some time in the villa: you don’t have to spend all day & every day at fancy beach clubs and restaurants for the full experience. Extra Ibiza is your ultimate villa plug, we can even arrange experiences in the villa, so you won’t miss out on all the fun!

3. Explore Free Beaches 

Ibiza is home to stunning beaches that won’t cost you a cent. From the lively Playa d’en Bossa to secluded gems like Aguas Blancas, there’s a stretch of sand for everyone. Pack your own picnic and spend the day basking in the Mediterranean sun. A favorite is Cala Gracio: the restaurant is always fully booked and quite pricey, so just lay in front on the beach enjoying one of the most beautiful bays on the island, being a part of the highlife while not spending like highlife. 

4. Shop at Local Markets

Discover Ibiza’s culture while saving money by visiting markets like Las Dalias or Punta Arabi. Find affordable handmade goods, taste delicious street food, and enjoy the lively atmosphere—without spending much. At Las Dalias, you even have free events. Want to know when? We know all the goods

5. Dine on Menú del Día

Many local restaurants offer a menú del día (menu of the day), including a multi-course meal for around €10-€15. It’s a great way to enjoy authentic Ibizan flavors while sticking to your budget.  

6. Opt for Public Transport

The island’s bus system is not only affordable (around €2-€3 per ride) but also convenient, connecting major towns and beaches. Leave the taxis behind, and soak in the scenery on a budget while you won’t have to hold back on the cocktails. 

7. Rent a Scooter

Scooters are the ultimate way to get around Ibiza. They’re way cheaper than cars, also on gas, and they allow you to weave through traffic effortlessly. Exploring the island’s hidden corners is a breeze on a scooter. Renting one for your stay can be both practical and fun!  

8. Seek Out Free Events

From live music to open-air markets, Ibiza offers plenty of free entertainment options throughout the year. Keep an eye on local event listings to find activities that fit your interests without costing a euro.  

9. Limit Nightclub Visits

Nightclubs in Ibiza are iconic but pricey, with entrance fees often starting at €60/€70. Save by exploring smaller venues, bars with live music, or early-bird discounts for the big clubs. Balance your nights out with quieter evenings on the beach or at local hangouts, and don’t start every day with an intens hangover.
