Ibiza map located in the Mediterranean Sea, surrounded on four sides by water! At 570 km² or 220 square miles it is the third largest of the Balearic Islands and forms together with Formentera the small Pitiusas archipelago. Furthermore Ibiza is the Balearic Isle lying closest to the Spanish mainland (90 km or 56 miles from Denia, 150 km or 93 miles from Valencia and 250 km from Barcelona). However, despite its size, Ibiza has attained a global reputation as one of the world's most popular tourist destinations.

Many tourists in search of a party will take flights to Ibiza and transfer immediately to Playa d'en Bossa Beach or San Antonio.
In contrast to the sun loungers and bars of these areas, visitors on an Ibiza flight might be surprised to learn that much of the island is UNESCO listed. Its landscapes and marine life, archaeological sites and Renaissance military architecture have earned it kudo.
Ibiza airport [IBZ] is the major gateway for most visitors. It is connected by daily domestic flights (30 to 55 minutes) from the Spanish mainland (Alicante [ALC], Barcelona [BCN], Madrid [MAD] and Valencia [VLC]) or the neighbouring island of Mallorca (Palma de Mallorca [PMI]) all yearround. From spring till autumn the island is also served by international charter flights (2 to 3 hours) from most major European cities (France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Switzerland etc.)
