What should i pack for ibiza

Just like on any other summer holiday, you will want to bring some light clothing such as shorts, t-shirts and dresses. You can use these to wear at the beach and when you are walking around in the town in the evening.

If in doubt, bring more beachwear! You will be visiting many beaches and not all of them have the comfort of sun beds. This means that you are likely to get sand everywhere — including all of your beachwear. So the more beachwear you bring, the less of an issue it will be. You can get beachwear that shows off your bikini or covers it. There are also lots of opportunities to buy some bikini covers and dresses in Ibiza Old Town. You can check out a list of some of my favourite shops here to get inspiration for Ibiza outfit ideas.

If not, click on the below images to get some ideas of the types of coverups you could be wearing! In this case I have enough variation and also a choice. I can take different pictures in each one, but also there is never the problem of a swimsuit being too wet from the day before. If there is only one thing that I recommend for you to bring on this holiday, it will be waterproof shoes. This is the item which I forgot to bring and regretted it immediately. Because the calas the coves have very sharp rocks, it is hard to get anywhere without these waterproof shoes.

I regretted this the most when I visited a beach called Cala Benirras, where the Instagram swing is located. There are lots of different types of water shoes available on Amazon for quite a cheap price. The ones below here are my personal favourites because they look stylish and have a hard sole for walking too. Comfortable sandals or walking shoes are a must as well for this holiday.

You will be walking around in the evenings and sandals are perfectly versatile as they can also act as going out shoes for the evening. You may want a sun hat to protect you from the sun, but perhaps also to use as an accessory in pictures. It is a necessary item to pack for a week holiday in Ibiza! They have a huge selection there of stylish and pretty hats perfect for Instagram.

However, there is also an issue of packing them as they tend to lose their form when they are squeezed into the suitcase. Luckily, there are some hats you can buy that will regain their shape once steamed, such as this one I found on Amazon:. The sun rays can be quite powerful during the summer time in Ibiza.

This is why bringing a pair of sunglasses is more than necessary. My favourite sunglasses brand is Jimmy Fairley. In the same way, instead of taking your entire guidebook on Spain and the Balearic Islands, why not just tear out or photocopy the important pages on Ibiza?

Be realistic when deciding what to pack for Ibiza. Save time and effort by cutting down on what you take in the first place. Speaking of how to pack for Ibiza, a golden rule that any good traveller will tell you is to roll, not fold. A win-win. Fill up all the space. Make sure to weigh your luggage before heading to the airport. All airlines and airports impose weight restrictions generally 20kg on checked bags and 10kg on carry-on items so ensure you check exactly what your airline allows before arriving.

To trick yourself into thinking it is, put on an inspirational playlist - '80s movie montage tracks are highly recommended. If you're running late go for fast-paced classical, like Flight of The Bumblebee ; it's impossible to dawdle to manic tunes like this. Add some flair to the folding experience by practicing this ancient Japanese folding method. Don't worry guys, they do vests. This article is part of our Ibiza Virgins' Guides , packed full of information on how to get the most out of your stay on Ibiza.

Check them out. Secondly, don't pack too much. Extra Stuff is only going to distract you from the main business of having fun; the more you have the longer you'll take to get ready which means less time at the beach or on the dance floor. Furthermore, the more you have the more you could lose; those familiar with Murphy's Law may also know it's enforced by summer-holiday-levels of alcohol intake. Ibiza is a marvellous playground and you don't need much to enjoy it.

Anyway, if you intend on getting involved in the action at all, they are entirely the wrong choice. You need closed, comfortable shoes that can take eight hours of dancing and being trodden on and come out looking grubby-chic.

For keeping the naughty bits in and the jellyfish out. Lots of debate in the Spotlight office as to which category this should belong to.

This may come as a shock to the English, but getting burnt is actually really bad for you. Don't be that guy on the beach in socks and sneakers. You're better than that. You will live in these. They will be there through the good times and the bad times, the sunny times and the strobing times, until you inevitably lose or break them, which is why you only brought a cheap pair.

You just don't need more than that, no matter how long you stay.
