Set Sail from Ibiza: Unmissable Last-Minute Escapes

As the summer calendar moves on, there's still time for one last adventure before it's all sandy memories. For those of you lucky enough to be in Ibiza, there's a myriad of exciting getaways within a short ferry ride—no flights necessary. Whether it's a day-long retreat to Formentera, a weekend exploring Mallorca's charismatic spots, or a scenic drive starting from mainland ports like Dénia, Valencia, or Barcelona, the options are endless. Travelling by ferry means you can bring your own vehicle and more luggage, granting greater freedom to explore. Affordable deals are available from just €80 return per person, vehicle included.

Perhaps a hop over to Formentera is all you need. The island presents a peaceful retreat with soothing beaches and charming villages. For those yearning for a bit more, Palma in Mallorca offers a thriving scene with historical sites, stunning landscapes, and culinary delights, all accessible with your own wheels.

Or turn your ferry trip into the start of a road journey through the stunning Spanish mainland. Starting routes from Dénia can lead you to the picturesque areas of Alicante, while Valencia and Barcelona offer both dynamic urban explorations and gateways to further adventures in Catalonia.

For ferry-goers, flexibility is key to unlocking the best prices. Shift your dates, travel mid-week, or choose less busy travel times to score better deals. Remember, September is still summer in Ibiza, with luscious weather and fewer crowds, making it a prime time for that last sunshine-filled escape. So, pack up, hop on a ferry, and make the most of Ibiza's late summer enchantment.
