I Asked the Only the Chicest Travel People for Their Ibiza Reccs—Here’s Where They Eat, Stay and Party

Welcome to Who What Wear Travels, a series of curated guides to destinations the fashion set loves. Consider this your download on everything from the chicest stays to the most memorable meals to the perfect travel wardrobe, all vetted by stylish locals and well-traveled fashion folks.

It seems like every year, a new European destination gets the hotspot treatment, and every cool-girl, fashion person and influencer is flocking there for their high summer getaway. Grecian islands, the South of France and the Amalfi Coast have all been appearing in constant rotation on my social feeds of late, but I know there is one spot which is so iconic and unbeatable, that has become shorthand for hedonistic, sun-soaked, and bohemian-infused escapes for eons. That place can only be the Balearic island of Ibiza.

You may think the island is for party-lovers only, but there are so many facets to the island that there is something for everyone to find here. Sure, there are a number of so-called 'superclubs', but there are many great smaller venues, bars and cocktail spots to take your pick from, and the island is cementing its place as a gastronomic paradise, with a focus on provenance and authenticity within the restaurant and foodie scene.

There is a plethora of sandy beaches, coves, hiking trails and nature reserves for those seeking the big, beautiful outdoors. For those with a few Euros to spend and a keen eye for style, a small niche of boutiques and retailers that support low-impact and planet-friendly clothing and homeware are emerging on the island, particularly in the Old Town, so you can take a little slice of the island back home with you.

Naturally, there are countless chic, cozy and well-catered hotels and properties to reside in for the duration of your trip, ranging from the clean and minimalist five star resorts, to the design-led boutique hotels for those with a discerningly fashionable eye, to the tucked-away agritourism outposts to give you that rustic, but no less chic, experience and classic laid back Ibizan mood.

We have tapped an elite group of industry experts and self-confessed Ibiza lovers to get the scoop on the classic spots and the hidden gems to help you plan your next, and your very best, Balearic adventure.
