50 ways to leave Ibiza...with some money left over

How to save money on club tickets

Never, ever pay on the door at any of Ibiza's big clubs – you'll end up paying for it. Instead, keep an eye out for hustling PRs working the San Antonio promenade and the Playa d'En Bossa strip. They'll have loads of discount wristbands and they may even invite you in for free. It's also worth asking at your hotel – some of the fancier ones will actually put you on the guest list. For big nights there are often decent early bird offers: IbizaSpotlight.com, for example, offers €5–15 off door prices and queue-jump options. Also, before you arrive make sure you are following all your favourite DJs and island promoters on Twitter and Facebook, as free pop-up parties and exclusive afterparties are often announced on the day.

Your Mobile Phone

Most networks now offer European bolt-ons that will cut the cost of your phone usage while you're in Ibiza. Just make sure you tell your provider you're heading to the Balearics and not Spain, and remember to ask if you'll be charged to receive calls while you're in Ibiza.

Wi-Fi

Turn off your data roaming and use the free Wi-Fi available to guests and customers at most hotels, bars and cafes across the length and breadth of the island.

Cash and Cash Machines

The Pound is currently very strong against Euro, which means your money will go a lot further in Ibiza this summer than it has done at any time in the last five years. If you're changing money before you fly, do it before you get to the airport as they have the worst conversion rates– despite 0% commission. If you decide to use the cash machines in Ibiza you'll be asked if you want to withdraw your money in Pounds or Euros. Always withdraw in the local currency – in this case Euros – to avoid paying a slew of hidden fees.

AVOID: Paying for your club tickets, body paint and excursions in advance – Ibiza can get pretty crazy and it's likely your plans will change when you get to the island.
