Workers accommodation

Sorting your place to live is the part that makes or breaks week one. Yes, there are apartments everywhere — but quality (and location) varies massively, and in peak season the decent ones go fast.

Go walkable: being near work + your main strip saves a fortune on taxis.
Sharing is normal: most workers share rooms/apartments — it’s also how you meet people quickly.
Check basics: working A/C, decent shower pressure, Wi-Fi, and a proper kitchen setup.

Jobs in Ibiza

There’s loads of seasonal work across the island — the trick is choosing something that fits your vibe, your confidence level, and how social you want the job to be.

Pro tip: if you want to go out a lot, choose a role with shorter shifts or earlier finishes.

Ibiza beaches

Ibiza isn’t just nightlife — the beach days are half the reason people fall in love with doing a season here. San Antonio and Playa d’en Bossa draw the crowds, but there are loads of calmer coves if you want a reset day.

If you’re nursing a hangover, a slow beach morning + a swim will sort you out faster than you think. And yes — bring suncream. Ibiza sun doesn’t mess about.

Cost of living

Ibiza can be one of the pricier islands — but you can still live comfortably if you don’t do “VIP beach club” every single day. Do a mix: supermarket shops + a few proper nights out, and you’ll be sound.

A realistic spend plan

Day-to-day: coffees, food, travel, basics.
Big nights: choose 1–2 key events a week, not all of them.
Smart win: if you love clubbing, working at venues can be the cheapest way in.

Ibiza nightlife

Ibiza nightlife needs no introduction — superclubs, huge lineups, and the kind of nights you’ll talk about for years. Think Amnesia, Pacha, and big outdoor shows at Ushuaïa.

If you’re in San Antonio, the Sunset Strip is non-negotiable at least once — it’s one of those “wow, I actually live here right now” moments.

Eating out in Ibiza

You’ll be spoilt for choice — tapas, paella, fresh fish, and easy “grab and go” if you’re heading to work. Just try not to slip into eating out every day (your bank account will hate you by week three).

Sunset spot recommendation: Café Mambo. Even if you only do it once, it’s worth it.

Events

When you land, you’ll quickly realise there’s something on every single night. Pick a few “must-do” events and pace yourself — Ibiza stamina is a real thing, especially if you’re working shifts.

Day parties (boat parties, pool events) can be unreal — just remember it’s a long day if you plan to go again at night.

Ace perk

Your worker pack / wristband helps you save on partner venues, events and days out — handy when you’re trying to budget.

Workers’ discounts

You’ll get your Ace worker pack plus wristband for discounts with partner venues. It’s a simple way to keep your spending under control while still having a proper season.

Exploring Ibiza

It’s not only about nights out — Ibiza has hidden coves, markets, old-town views and proper “this is unreal” moments when you get off the strip for a day.

Rent a car for a day and hit quieter beaches.
Ibiza Town for markets, shopping and sunset views.
Water sports on a day off when you want something different.
