Ibiza emergencies, health and safety: numbers, hospitals and rules
If you have an emergency in Ibiza, call 112: it is free, works without credit and operators also speak English. The island's public hospital is Can Misses, in Ibiza Town (971 397 000). For anything less serious, the health centres in Ibiza Town, San Antonio and Santa Eulalia have an urgent care service. This section is designed to give you the answer in seconds, and to be read calmly before you travel.
The four guides:
- Emergencies in Ibiza: the numbers worth saving, the hospital, urgent care at health centres, private clinics, the EHIC and the UK GHIC, emergency dentists and emergencies at sea.
- Pharmacies in Ibiza: how to find the one open tonight, what you can buy without a prescription in Spain and what happens with a prescription from another country.
- Is Ibiza safe?: the real risks (phone theft, spiked drinks, unlicensed taxis, the sea and the heat), travelling solo as a woman and where to go if something happens.
- Ibiza rules for tourists: drinking in the street, balconing, seagrass, fires, drones and villa parties, with typical fines.
A tip from someone who lives here: save 112 and your accommodation's address on your phone before you go out, and learn how to share your location, because on a beach or a dirt track it is the first thing you will be asked for. The duty pharmacy for each day is listed on the Balearic pharmacists' association website and on the notice in any pharmacy window. And on a night out, go and come back as a group: it prevents most problems.
