Ibiza For Families: The Best Child-Friendly Experiences On The Island
Long celebrated for its world-famous beach clubs and after-dark allure, Ibiza holds a lesser-known secret: it's also an extraordinary destination for families.
Beyond the buzz of the nightlife scene the island is steeped in natural beauty, cultural treasures, and curated experiences perfect for all ages. Whether you're introducing your children to the joys of the Mediterranean or seeking sophisticated family moments in the Balearics, Ibiza delivers. Here are our favourite experiences to enjoy with kids in Ibiza:
Explore By Yacht Charter
The best way to discover Ibiza's secret coves, crystal waters, and secluded beaches is by luxury yacht charter. On board, you will have access to the yacht's tender, where you can enjoy day trips and activities tailored to your family.Â
Exploring Ibiza by yacht charter allows you to escape the crowds and plenty of opportunities for swimming, snorkelling, watersports, and beach exploring. With your children on board, spot dolphins from the bow of the yacht, snorkel as a family in a secluded cove, and go on a tender adventure with a beach picnic. The crew onboard can ensure that all activities are family-friendly and that you make the most of your charter together.Â
Visit Family-Friendly Beaches
Ibiza's beaches are the crown jewels of the Mediterranean, and many offer shallow, calm waters and soft sands ideal for young swimmers and sun seekers.
Some of our favourites include Cala Llonga, Cala Bassa, and Portinatx. Arriving at the beaches early when the sun isn't as hot is perfect for exploring with young children.
Go Underground
For a cool escape from the midday sun, venture north to Can Marca Caves, a natural labyrinth of stalactites and stalagmites overlooking the stunning Port de Sant Miquel.
The caves' atmospheric light and sound show transforms the ancient formations into a mesmerizing spectacle, which will mesmerize children.
Wander The Markets
A quintessential Ibiza experience is wandering the island's iconic hippy markets, full of handcrafted treasures, eclectic stalls, and live music. They are ideal for a laid-back afternoon with the whole family. Las Dalias is one market famed for its bohemian spirit, family-friendly live music, and artisan stalls.
While Punta Arabi is the largest market, it has kid-focused activities and local snacks. Enjoy the markets as a family, picking handmade souvenirs of Ibiza, sampling the food and drinks, and enjoying impromptu street performances.
Swing Between The Trees
Hidden in a shady pine forest near Santa Eulalia, Acrobosc Ibiza is an exhilarating treetop adventure park where adults and children can climb, swing, and zip-line. The courses are tailored to different ages and skill levels, and there are safe, supervised circuits for younger children.
Booking an early morning session to avoid the midday heat is advised, and enjoying one of the shaded picnic spots for post-activity relaxation.
Trot Through the Countryside
For a serene escape into nature, visit Ibiza Horse Valley, a sanctuary offering ethical horseback riding experiences through the island's unspoiled landscapes.
The sanctuary's rescued horses are lovingly cared for, and trails weave through fragrant pine forests and rolling hills. You can join a guided family ride suitable for all experience levels.
Visit The Aquarium
A hidden gem, Cap Blanc Aquarium is set within a natural sea cave and offers a glimpse into the marine life of Ibiza's waters. Home to rescued turtles, native fish, and seahorses, it's a charming, small-scale experience ideal for young children.
The natural cave setting offers a cool respite from the afternoon heat and a fascinating history as a former lobster nursery.
