10 Things to Do with Kids in Ibiza
Please find below our pick of 10 Things to Do with Kids in Ibiza.
Ibiza isn't just a playground for grown-ups. It's a pretty incredible place to be a kid too.
Whether you're looking for an adventure, a day on the water, something different for a birthday or simply a way to keep everyone entertained, here are 10 of our favourite things to do with kids in Ibiza.
1. Go Underground at Can Marçà Caves
Head north to Puerto de San Miguel and disappear underground into one of Ibiza's most unusual attractions.
The ancient Can Marçà caves are more than 100,000 years old and were once used by smugglers to hide contraband. Today, guided tours take families through an atmospheric network of caves, rock formations and underground waterfalls.
The views over Puerto de San Miguel from the entrance are worth the trip alone.
Best for: Ages 4+
Where: Puerto de San Miguel
Sithappy tip: Combine it with lunch and a swim at the beach afterwards.
2. Take to the Trees at Acrobosc
Got kids with energy to burn? Send them into the trees.
Hidden among the pine trees close to Cala Pada, Acrobosc is an outdoor adventure park filled with rope bridges, zip lines and aerial obstacles.
There are different courses for different ages and abilities, making it particularly good for families with several children.
Best for: Adventurous kids
Where: Cala Pada, near Santa Eulalia
Sithappy tip: Trainers are a much better idea than flip-flops.
3. Book Little Treats Ibiza
Sometimes it's nice to bring the entertainment to you.
Little Treats Ibiza brings its beautiful handcrafted treats cart to birthdays, villa parties and private events across Ibiza and Formentera.
Choose from mini pancakes loaded with toppings, frozen yoghurt and ice cream, sweets, a candy bar and even a Sparkle & Sweet option combining face glitter with treats.
The whole setup can also be personalised to fit the theme of your party.
Perfect if you're celebrating a birthday while you're on the island – or simply want to organise a special afternoon for the kids at the villa.
Best for: Birthdays, villa days & special occasions
Where: They come to you
Sithappy tip: This is one to book ahead, particularly during the summer.
4. Become a Tiny Raver
This is Ibiza, after all.
Tiny Ravers takes one of the things the island does best – throwing a party – and recreates it for kids and their grown-ups.
Think DJs and dancing alongside creative zones, live entertainment, mindfulness activities and dedicated sensory play for the littlest ravers.
It's a brilliantly Ibicencan way to introduce the next generation to the island's musical side – without keeping them awake until 6am.
Best for: Little party people and their grown-ups
Age: Particularly geared towards younger children
Sithappy tip: Events happen at different venues and dates throughout the year, so check the latest schedule before you go.
5. Discover Aquarium Cap Blanc
Forget giant glass tanks and fluorescent-lit corridors.
Aquarium Cap Blanc is inside a natural sea cave near Cala Gració and was originally used as a lobster nursery.
Children can see Mediterranean marine life while exploring the cave itself.
It's relatively small, which makes it an easy outing rather than an exhausting full-day expedition.
Best for: Younger kids
Where: Near Cala Gració, San Antonio
Sithappy tip: Combine it with a few hours at Cala Gració for an easy family afternoon.
6. Spend a Day on the Water
One of the best ways to experience Ibiza is from the sea.
Charter a small boat for the family or join one of the family-friendly excursions departing from around the island.
Spend the day discovering hidden coves, swimming, snorkelling and paddleboarding – with plenty of jumping off the boat thrown in for good measure.
The west coast around San Antonio is particularly spectacular.
Best for: The whole family
Sithappy tip: With younger children, a morning trip can be easier before the hottest part of the day.
7. Grab a Paddleboard or Kayak
You don't necessarily need a boat to explore Ibiza from the water.
Kayaks and paddleboards are available from beaches around the island, and there are also guided family excursions.
Paddle along the coastline, explore little caves, find hidden beaches and stop for a swim along the way.
Best for: Ages 6+ and confident swimmers
Sithappy tip: Mornings generally offer calmer conditions.
8. Have a Proper Ibiza Beach Day
Sometimes the simplest option is still the best.
Pack the snorkels, buckets, spades and approximately 47 things your children insist they need and head for the beach.
Cala Llonga, Cala Vadella, Las Salinas, Port des Torrent and Cala Bassa are just a few of our family favourites.
Best for: Everyone
Sithappy tip: In July and August, get there early – or try Port des Torrent later in the afternoon and stay as the beach takes on a lovely family atmosphere towards sunset.
9. Explore an Ibiza Hippy Market
Colour, music, crafts and plenty of things for kids to spend your money on.
Ibiza's famous markets make an easy family outing and give children a taste of the island's alternative side.
Browse handmade jewellery, clothes, toys, art and crafts, grab something to eat and enjoy the atmosphere.
Best for: All ages
Sithappy tip: Give older children their own little budget and let them hunt for an Ibiza souvenir.
10. Take a Family Adventure to Formentera
Getting on a ferry instantly makes the day feel like an adventure.
Formentera is close enough for an easy day trip but feels completely different when you arrive.
Hire bikes or a car, find one of the island's incredible beaches, stop for lunch and spend the afternoon swimming in impossibly clear water.
Best for: A full family day out
Sithappy tip: Don't try to see the entire island with young children. Choose one or two places and enjoy them.
The Sithappy Verdict
You don't need to plan every minute of a family holiday in Ibiza.
Some days are made for caves, climbing, boats and Tiny Ravers. Others are made for ordering Little Treats to the villa, throwing everyone in the pool and doing very little indeed.
And sometimes all you need is a beach, a snorkel and an ice cream.
That's the beauty of doing Ibiza with kids.
