A Day at the Farm
Hey there, fellow Ibiza moms and dads! 🌞 We've discovered some fantastic, free family activities that have brought endless joy to our little ones—and to us grown-ups too! Here's a bubbly roundup of our top picks:
As a parent living on this vibrant island, I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences that keep my kid feeling this fantastic luxury of being close to nature. If you feel like it's about time to keep yours further away from screens and near to ground earth: Enter *Child of the Wild Ibiza*! This magical initiative, led by the passionate and inspiring Anne Marie, is everything I didn’t know my family needed. It’s where children step out of the everyday and into a world brimming with creativity, exploration, and connection to the wild side of Ibiza.
Exploring Ibiza's natural beauty with your children can be an unforgettable adventure. Here are four family-friendly hikes that combine the island's rich history, stunning landscapes, and a touch of mystery to keep your little explorers engaged:
For those unfamiliar with island life, it might seem like living on a vacation spot is all about relaxation. But, just like anyone living in non-vacation cities, we too have jobs, feel stress, and manage daily life. Of course, we’re lucky enough to end our day by unwinding on the beach or in lush countryside gardens and seaviews. That said when we really need to escape the daily grind, our beautiful sister island, Formentera, is just a short commute away, waiting to be explored. I'd love to share our family’s favorite plans to ensure a short family stay in Formentera is worth it.
We always love to find spots where kids Play & Adults unwind all day. Well, this island might be filled with stunning beaches, but finding that spot where parents can relax while kids can run around safely? That isn't always easy piecy. Luckily, there are quite some affordable beachside gems where the whole family can enjoy delicious food, laid-back vibes, and kid-friendly fun. Here is a short list of some of our favorites:

Unlike many northern European countries, children are welcome almost everywhere in Ibiza, from simple cafés to elegant restaurants. This is what I love about Ibiza: you can take your kids anywhere! For this reason, I’m not focusing on the typical Spanish restaurants in this list, as they usually serve similar food and always have room for the little ones. In most places, kids can order half portions of menu dishes. Waiters greet them with a smile, often handing out paper, pencils, and even toys.
As Ibiza mom, I know how important it is to keep kids engaged with outdoor activities. And even better if that activity is fun for us too! Nobody needs a bored non-creative "tablet child", when there is so much outdoor-fun around. When they become older and you notice that they’re up for more adventure and exploration this is the post to read. I’ve found some of the best ways to enjoy the island together as a family, lovely ways to look at Ibiza —whether from sea, land, or even in the sky.
