Start here
Ibiza is easy to visit and hard to prepare for as an American. The guides that exist are written for a UK or European audience. This site covers the stuff that actually trips up US travelers: how to get here, whether your card works, what your phone will do, and what the entry rules actually say (hint: it isn't ESTA).
Flights from the USA
Today's connections, plus United's new Newark-Ibiza nonstop starting May 2027.
American Express in Ibiza
Where Amex works, where it doesn't, and why you need a Visa or Mastercard backup.
Money, tipping & ATMs
Cash norms, tipping expectations vs. the US, and how to avoid dynamic currency conversion fees.
Phone & eSIM
Roaming vs. eSIM, keeping your US number, and what to do in an emergency (it's 112, not 911).
Visa & entry rules
Schengen's 90/180 rule, why ESTA doesn't apply here, and how to read ETIAS news without panicking.
Getting around
Taxis, ride-hailing apps, buses, and transfers: what's actually available and how to book it.
Why this site exists
Americans are about to have their first-ever nonstop flight to Ibiza (United's Newark route launches in May 2027), and US interest in the island is already climbing. But almost everything written for "Americans visiting Ibiza" is a British or European travel site with one paragraph bolted on for a US audience. This site is different: every page is built around the specific questions Americans actually ask before and during a trip here.
