Flights to Ibiza from the UK and Ireland: every direct route, airline and flight time (2027)

The UK is Ibiza's biggest market by far: in 2025, 1.87 million passengers flew between the island and British airports, almost twice as many as from Italy, the next country on the list (Aena, the Spanish airport operator). That traffic means a direct flight from almost every corner of the country. Here is every route, who flies it and how long it takes, followed by the details that matter when the flight is only half of the plan and the other half is a villa.

The short answer

London

All six London airports have direct flights to Ibiza in summer.

Heathrow is the easiest for connections from the rest of the world. London City is the quickest airport to reach from the City and Canary Wharf.

The rest of England and Wales

Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland

Flight times are our estimates from the distance to Ibiza; the airline's schedule is the reference.

The busiest routes

These were the busiest routes between Ibiza and the UK in 2025, counting passengers in both directions:

Choosing your flight

• Flight-only or package? Jet2.com and TUI are best known for package holidays, but both also sell flight-only seats. If you are renting a villa, flight-only is what you need.
• Count the luggage. Low-cost fares often exclude hold bags. A family of six with luggage for a week can change which airline is the cheapest, so compare the full price.
• Fly in on changeover day. In July and August most villas rent full weeks with a fixed arrival day. Check the villa's day first, then book the flights for that day. Booking flights first and searching for a villa that matches is the expensive way round.
• Morning flights from Ibiza in peak season. Villa check-out is usually in the morning. With a late flight home, ask us about a later check-out or a driver with room for the luggage, so the last day is not spent waiting.

Entry rules after Brexit

As of October 2026, for British citizens on holiday:

• No visa. You can stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period in the Schengen area, which includes Spain. Days spent anywhere in the Schengen area count towards the 90.
• Your passport must have been issued less than ten years before the day you arrive and be valid for at least three months after the day you plan to leave.
• The Entry/Exit System (EES) registers non-EU visitors with fingerprints and a photo the first time they enter the Schengen area. Allow a little extra time at passport control on your first trip.
• ETIAS, the EU's online travel authorisation for visa-free visitors, is not yet required. The EU will announce the start date several months before it applies. Official information: travel-europe.europa.eu.
• Healthcare: take your GHIC or EHIC card for state healthcare, together with travel insurance.

Irish citizens travel as EU citizens, with a valid passport or Irish passport card, and none of the above applies.

Planning the villa week around your flights

When to book. Most of our guests confirm their villa between January and March. For the May half-term and the school summer holidays, the larger villas go first, so book as soon as the group agrees on the dates.

What a villa costs. Prices are for the whole villa per week, in euros. They depend more on the month than on anything else: our Ibiza Villa Rental Price Index shows the median weekly price for every month, size and area, updated daily, and our guide to Ibiza villa prices explains what is included. On top of the weekly price you will see a refundable security deposit and the Balearic sustainable tourism tax, charged per adult per night.

Only book a licensed villa. Every holiday rental in Ibiza needs a tourist licence (ETV). Our guide to checking a villa's tourist licence shows how to verify one in a minute. Every villa we offer is licensed, and you receive a written quote and contract in English before you pay anything.

Groups. Many of our British guests travel for a big birthday, a family get-together or a wedding. We have a selection of villas that sleep 12 or more, family-friendly villas and villas that accept weddings and events.

From the airport to your villa

Ibiza airport is in the south of the island, near Ibiza Town, and the whole island is only about forty kilometres long. Indicative driving times, outside peak traffic:

Almost all villas are in the countryside. You can drive with your UK photocard licence; remember that Spain drives on the right. If nobody in the group wants to drive, we arrange the transfer and a driver for the week.

Where to stay

The east around Santa Eulalia suits families, the south-west has the beaches and the sea views, the north is quiet countryside, and the hills close to Ibiza Town put restaurants and nightlife within a short taxi ride. Our guide to where to stay in Ibiza compares every area.
