Practical tips

Much of Ibiza's tourism business closes roughly from November to April. Check with Montaña whether it is open during your travel dates. July and August are the peak months, with higher demand and more crowds. The Balearic sustainable tourism tax (the ecotasa) is charged per person per night by the accommodation. The rate depends on the type of accommodation and the season; it is reduced in low season and for longer stays, and children under 16 are exempt. Check the current rates on the Govern de les Illes Balears site.
