Ibiza has plenty of fans among Thomas Cook holidaymakers, with 1,746 guests visiting the island over the past year. Known for its buzzing nightlife as much as its quieter coves and sunset spots, it's a destination that works for a wide range of travellers, not just those after the party scene. A 7-night stay is the most common trip length, with shorter 4-night breaks also popular.
August is the top month to travel, followed by September and June for those wanting a bit less heat and fewer crowds. Our bookers typically jet off from London Stansted and Manchester, and it’s straightforward to reach from several parts of the UK.
Guests frequently choose Occidental Ibiza - All Inclusive, Leonardo Royal Ibiza Santa Eulalia, and the adults-only Hotel Vibra District. Holidays typically start from around £835pp, dropping to roughly £513pp over winter, or from about £859pp during peak summer. Every package booking is ATOL protected, with a low deposit to secure your trip.
