How to Enjoy Ibiza on a Budget
Affordable Accommodations in Ibiza
San Antonio is a hub for budget-friendly stays, surrounded by famous spots like Eden and Ibiza Rocks Hotel. In October, options like Abrat offer rooms around £75 per night. For quieter locales, consider Cala Longa or Portinatx. Aparthotels, such as Aparthotel El Pinar, provide self-catering facilities to further cut costs.
Economical Eating in Ibiza
Cooking your meals can be a big saver. Look for apartments with kitchens to enjoy local ingredients. For dining out, seek restaurants offering a ‘menú del día’, an economical choice. Use apps like Menu Del Dia to find these deals, and ask your hotel for local recommendations and potential discounts.
