What to do in Ibiza if you're travelling solo: plans to enjoy at your own pace
Travelling solo to Ibiza might be your best decision this year. No commitments, no drama, and total freedom to decide how, when and with whom to share your plans. Whether it's your first time on the island or you're looking for a different kind of experience, here are some ideas for discovering Ibiza your way, no plus-one needed.
Join a beach tour or boat excursion
Yes, Ibiza’s coves are stunning. But seeing them by boat and with a group adds something extra.
A relaxed way to meet people while exploring coves and cliffs
There are beach tours and boat trips that mix good music, swim stops and a laid-back atmosphere that makes it easy to break the ice. People from all over come to enjoy the island – everything flows naturally, no pressure.
Departures from Sant Antoni with swim stops and sunbathing
Many tours leave from Sant Antoni (just around the corner from Ryans Lolas), and some include paddle boards, snorkelling gear or drinks onboard. Companies like Float Your Boat and Ocean Beat offer both daytime and sunset trips, with DJs onboard, open bars and several stops to swim in hidden coves. It’s the perfect day out, and a great way to meet new people for the evening ahead.
Try paddleboarding or sunrise yoga
Looking for something more relaxed but still social? There are plenty of ways to connect without having to say much.
Activities to reconnect with yourself (or others)
Yoga by the sea, early morning paddle sessions or beach meditation – Ibiza has a unique vibe that helps you slow down. And if you feel like sharing the moment with someone nearby, it often happens naturally.

There are activities for all levels. The Ryans team can point you to local schools or instructors nearby, so you can start your day on the right foot.
Enjoy a slow dinner at 666
Dining solo isn’t a big deal. In fact, it might become one of your favourite parts of the day – especially if you pick the right spot.
Laid-back vibes, good music and a great place to meet people
Places like 666 are perfect for a chilled solo dinner with good food and better music. You might even end up chatting with someone at the next table.
Eating solo in Ibiza isn’t boring, it’s part of the experience
In Ibiza, eating alone is totally normal, and often the start of something unexpected. Look for places with communal tables and relaxed energy. No pressure, no awkward looks – just the right mood.
Stay at Ryans: young, social and zero pretence
At Ryans, everything’s set up so you can do your own thing... or jump into someone else’s plan if you feel like it. The hotel is built around shared spaces made to connect without pressure: pool, sunbeds, bar, it’s your call.
Share moments with other guests at the pool or terrace
The pool, the terrace or the bar are natural meeting points. People come here with the same mindset: enjoy without overthinking it. And if you prefer to chill out with your headphones on, that’s fine too. There’s free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, so you can stay connected while doing your own thing.
