Ibiza, Spain · Europe
Seasonal Balearic leisure gateway with a single Aena terminal, Cap des Falcó Priority Pass lounge, and short ALSA AERO rides into town — excellent in shoulder months, punishing in peak August queues.

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.
No rail — AERO2/3 €3.50 card/QR (€4.90 cash) to town; taxi metered +€2 airport.
There is no metro or Renfe stop under the terminal. Default public option is the ALSA Ibiza AERO network at Arrivals. AERO3 is the Ibiza–Airport Express to the capital / port corridor; AERO2 runs Ibiza–Sant Jordi– Airport via CETIS / bus-station style stops. Official alsaibiza.es airport specials (verify live): AERO2 and AERO3 are €3.50 with bank card or QR / €4.90 cash from I. Macabich–Port / Es Tabaquet–CETIS to the airport; AERO5 to Platja d’en Bossa / Ses Figueretes is the same €3.50/€4.90 band; AERO1 Sant Antoni longer legs and AERO4 Santa Eulària / Es Canar climb to €4.00 card/QR / €5.60 cash on the farther fare band (Aena notes AERO1 and AERO4 available from 1 Apr 2026). Resident travel-card holders may ride free under Consell / state bonifications while those schemes remain — visitors should budget the published single fares. Taxis: always use the signed rank (Aena: 69 year-round vehicles including 3 PRM; +70 seasonal Jun–Sep = 139). Radio Taxi Sant Josep +34 971 800 080. BOIB-approved meter (Aena page): €1.21/km day, €1.47/km night or holiday, €4 start, €2 airport supplement, luggage/pets free — expect roughly mid-teens to low-twenties euros into Eivissa town on a clean daytime run, more at night or to Sant Antoni / Santa Eulària. Parking Exprés: first 10 minutes free for drop-off/pick-up; longer stays use general parking. Local police enforce the rental-car / moto / curb access camera zone — follow Aena’s red-zone map or risk a tow.
Classic 100 ml LAGs; Fast Lane €11.10 with preferential door open 24h — buy early for August.
Pack classic EU LAG rules (≤100 ml containers in a clear 1-litre bag; electronics out when asked). IBZ has no published CT / ≤2 L liquids waiver on Aena passenger pages — treat it as classic. Single central security feeds the boarding levels. Aena Fast Lane / Fast Track preferential door stays open 24 hours (Aena ES Fast Lane page); buy on serviciosvip.aena.es — live cart €11.10 for T1 (3-month validity; airline business / loyalty often includes it — confirm with your carrier). QR + boarding pass at the reader. July–August UK / Italy / Germany banks and Saturday turnarounds are when the paid lane earns its keep; quiet shoulder midweek Schengen mornings are often fine without it. Aim ~3 hours early for peak summer non-Schengen / charter waves, ~2–2.5 hours otherwise. Aena’s DORA III–era terminal reform (new NE non-Schengen pier, security redesign, façade shift — still in project / tender phases as of mid-2026) may shuffle filter geography before 2031 — follow live wayfinding.
PP = Cap des Falcó (planta 1 / Gate 1); €45.95 day pass; Heineken / Enrique Tomás are PP Eat only.
Sala VIP Cap des Falcó is the only proper lounge: airside boarding on planta 1 after security (and after passport control when your gate needs it). Priority Pass places it Floor 1 near Gate 1; Aena hours 05:45–00:00 (PP commonly lists 05:45–23:59 — confirm desk / app). Priority Pass / LoungeKey-style cards accepted subject to capacity; Aena walk-in €45.95 adult / €21.25 child (3-month purchase validity; under-5 free on typical Aena/PP child rules). Max stay 3 hours pre-departure (transit often listed to 4 hours on PP). Aena lists catering, kosher/halal/gluten-free / special diets, Wi-Fi, work adapters, tablets, digital press, TV, PRM access, animals allowed — showers are not on the Aena amenity list, so do not plan on a shower suite. Priority Pass also lists Heineken Silver and Enrique Tomás as Eat / dining-credit venues (commonly 07:00–23:00) — restaurant credit, not lounges; confirm euro credit and live hours in the PP app. Summer capacity pressure is real — arrive early after security if Cap des Falcó is your plan B for a long delay.
Free Aena fountains + Airport Free Wifi Aena; airside F&B adequate, peak summer queues.
Aena lists drinking-water fountains under Other services for Ibiza — empty the bottle before classic 100 ml security, then refill airside (follow fountain pictograms on airport maps / near toilet and boarding corridors). Free Wi-Fi is SSID Airport Free Wifi Aena (Guest email or Aena Club; 15 minutes to verify, then unlimited). Airside F&B is a standard Aena leisure mix (cafés, bars, fast food, duty-free, jamón counters) — denser than a tiny regional strip, still queues hard when several easyJet / Ryanair / Vueling / Jet2 banks board together in August. Landside Arrivals / check-in retail covers a sealed bottle if you prefer not to hunt for a fountain. Book-exchange point and pet zone exist airside / terminal per Aena Other services — useful layover filler, not a quiet work lounge substitute.
Priority Pass restaurant credit — not a lounge. Same Eat pattern as other Aena leisure airports (ALC/VLC); confirm live hours and credit in the app.

Sole true lounge at IBZ — compact Aena VIP on planta 1 near Gate 1 after security (passport control when required). Walk-in is pricey versus the AERO bus, so Priority Pass is the usual path. Expect capacity pressure in July–August.
