Safety and well-being in Ibiza for solo travelers
Ibiza is a fairly safe destination, but as with any trip, there are a few things to keep in mind:
Transportation in Ibiza
Rent a car or motorcycle if you want to explore hidden coves. Otherwise, the bus network covers the main spots quite well.
Don't rely on your phone all the time. Bring offline maps and check the return routes if you're out at night.
Take care of your energy
Traveling alone to Ibiza can be very stimulating, but also exhausting. Take time to rest, listen to your needs, and don't force yourself to always be in "social" mode.
Safety tips for going out in Ibiza
Ibiza's nightlife is incredible, but if you're going out alone, be careful:
Make it clear where you stand if you're dating someone you just met.
Avoid very isolated areas if you are walking at night.
Drink in moderation and keep an eye on your belongings.
