Ibiza's reputation as a party destination contrasts with personal reasons for visiting solo, including regret about missing a past friends' weekend, interest in the island's wellness offerings, and the cherry symbol matching the traveler's last name. Friends were unavailable, prompting a solo booking. The solo trip produced memorable spontaneity unlikely with travel companions. Packing choices influenced comfort and experience; different packing would be chosen for a return. A detailed packing list emphasizes essentials for Ibiza's heat and nightlife, recommending items such as a compact handheld fan, earplugs designed for music protection that resemble jewelry, and a portable sun shader for beach use.
It's more conventional to visit for a girls' trip or bachelor party, but a few things were drew me to Ibiza: regret that I didn't join a weekend trip my friends took years ago, the more wellness-oriented side of the island that I'd reported on for an article, and the island's cherry symbol (which matches my last name). All my friends were unavailable or uninterested, so I booked a vacation for one.
It ended up being one of my most memorable trips, with spontaneity that I probably wouldn't have experienced had I planned everything out with travel buddies. I wouldn't change a thing, but I would pack differently if I were to revisit the city. I'm detailing my ultimate Ibiza packing list below, with travel accessories, clothes, and more that would be useful whether you're visiting solo or with a group.
I didn't see many opportunities to purchase a fan while I was in Ibiza compared with when I've been to other Spanish cities, so I'd recommend packing one if you want one to beat the heat. This popular mini handheld fan has two speed settings and folds into a compact size that will fit even in a small clutch, so you can take it with you to the beach, walking around town, or going out at night.
