Here are some key reasons why a villa is ideal when travelling with children:

• Safety and privacy: children remain within secure, private spaces.
• Space and comfort: multiple bedrooms, shared living areas, private pool, and garden.
• Cost savings and flexibility: cooking at home and organising family meals helps reduce expenses.
• On-site activities: barbecues, pool games, long family dinners, and comfortable nap times.

We offer competitively priced villas designed for families and groups of friends, with basic children’s equipment and age-adapted options. Many villas also include extra services such as daily cleaning, private chef, or grocery delivery to make your stay even easier.

Ibiza has many calm-water beaches with fine sand, perfect for young children:

• Cala Salinas: shallow waters and easy access.
• Cala Tarida: wide beach with services and safe swimming areas.
• Playa d’en Bossa: quieter zones towards the northern end of the beach.
• Cala Vadella: white sand, family-friendly atmosphere, and full service.
• Cala San Vicente: several small coves with clear, shallow waters.
• Cala Conta: spacious beaches with crystal-clear water, ideal for kids.
• Es Figueral and Aigües Blanques: less crowded options with good access.

These beaches allow safe swimming, sand play, and easy access by car from most villas, making them perfect for half-day family outings.

Ibiza offers markets and daytime activities ideal for families:

• Las Dalias Market: bohemian atmosphere, live music, and artisan stalls.
• San Jordi Market: local vibe with fresh products.
• Es Canar Market: crafts, souvenirs, and children’s activities.

Visiting these markets is a great way to combine shopping, local food, and child-friendly entertainment in a relaxed setting. We also recommend visiting local farms or small playgrounds scattered around the island.

For active families, Ibiza offers plenty of outdoor options:

• Boat or catamaran excursions: ideal for families; many boats are adapted for children with shaded areas, safety measures, and onboard meals. (For more details on licences and boat hire, see our related post.)
• Kayaking and paddleboarding: safe activities for slightly older children with supervision.
• Boat trips with swimming stops: perfect for discovering accessible coves.
• Jet skis or guided water activities: recommended only for teenagers.
• Natural parks and easy hiking trails: short routes suitable for young children.

Our coordinators can design tailor-made activities based on your children’s ages and your preferred pace.

One of the greatest advantages of renting a villa is the flexibility to combine family time with adult plans. We offer a professional nanny service, allowing parents to enjoy a dinner out, a special evening, or a restaurant experience while children remain safely cared for by qualified and trusted staff.
Nannies can organize games, prepare dinner, and manage bedtime routines, giving adults peace of mind and the freedom to relax before coming back together to continue enjoying family holidays.

• Choose a villa with a private pool and fenced areas for extra safety.
• Check baby equipment availability (cots, high chairs) if needed.
• Book excursions and boat trips in advance during high season.
• Confirm nanny services before travelling.
• Consider grocery delivery or a private chef for the first days.
• Bring sun protection, hats, and plenty of water for beach days.
