Choosing Ibiza as the setting for a wedding is always a wise move. For the couple will be an extra effort, for the guests too, but in twenty years everyone will remember those days on the island. And what does Ibiza have that everyone in love? Basically, it has it all. There are a thousand islands in one: the one of fun, the alternative, the luxury, the leisurely (this, according to when, it costs more to find it, but still exists), the paradisiacal … And among all of them, . The choice of Ibiza as a destination for the wedding celebration of couples from around the world has exploded in recent years. Who does not want to give himself the yes I want to the seashore while the sun sets and then leave to celebrate it? Requests from many places arrive, although not all the couples end up throwing themselves to the adventure. But for those who do, there we will be if you want the road to be easier.
It is not necessary to ask what are the main attractions of the island for this type of celebrations … Its climate and its geographical location are key to its success, but in recent years we have to add the increasing professionalism in the field Of weddings. More and more restaurants are dedicated almost exclusively to this business and many hotels already have an area dedicated to their organization. There is no shortage of people, like us, who offer themselves for the integral organization of the whole wedding, a job that is often indispensable considering that the bride and groom are often many kilometers away and can afford few trips to the island before the big day.
And it is that with an area of 572 km, 210 km of coast and bordering already 150,000 inhabitants, Ibiza offers a variety of alternatives depending on the budget and the taste of each couple. It is a small island, true, but it can overwhelm those who do not know it well or who do not have enough time to travel it. Perhaps you love the tranquility of the north zone but the restaurant that offers you a better alternative is on the west coast and also, from there you can see the sunset. Or it may happen that you have found a villa that you love at a reasonable price, but that this is located in a municipality in which councilors do not offer the service of moving to celebrate an official ceremonial. There are many variants to take into account, but do not despair, we can give you a hand in charge of the integral organization or a simple online advice.
While you make the decision, here is a list of tips in case you are planning a visit to the island:
- Do not rule out the possibility of holding the wedding inside. All couples have in their heads the image of them giving themselves the yes I want to the seashore, but the truth is that this island hides beautiful interior corners worth knowing.
- Visit the ancient city, Dalt Vila, as the Town Hall offers the possibility of celebrating the ceremony in one of its bastions, with incredible views of the sea.
- Although the island will surprise you with the green of its fields (something to be thankful for the humidity and the large number of pines that populate it, hence the name of the Pitüses by which Ibiza and Formentera are known), you have to Visit also the Natural Park of Ses Salines, a unique landscape in which there are several premises that celebrate weddings and a coquettish church called Sant Francesc, located on the edge of one of the salineras.

And also its natural wealth deserves a remarkable chapter. The oceanic posidonia that covers the seabed of Ibiza and Formentera is also considered a World Heritage Site and is responsible for the beauty of the Pitius waters. And Ibiza is an island loaded with history (Phoenicians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Muslims and Christians left their mark on them) and attractions that go beyond its more instant beauty. Attractions that can be reached not only by walking through its streets, but also by visiting the Archaeological Museum, the necropolis of Puig des Molins, Madina Yabisah or the Ethnographic Museum of Santa Eulalia.
