How to get from Ibiza to Mallorca
Ferries take about 2 h 15–4 h from Ibiza to Palma, depending on fast or conventional service, and some ferries carry cars. Short flights take about 40 minutes. Both are practical; the ferry is often simpler door to door.
Best option: Ferry. Ports are close to both city centres, and you can bring a car if needed.

Common questions
How long is the ferry?
About 2 h 15 on fast ferries and up to about 4 hours on conventional ferries. Most services sail between Ibiza town and Palma. Some routes may also call at other ports, depending on the season. Check current timetables, which change between summer and winter.
Can I take my car?
Yes, on most ferries between Ibiza and Palma. Car fares can be significant, and summer sailings fill up, so book ahead. Rental companies may restrict taking cars between islands, so check your rental terms. Check also whether your ferry operator requires you to arrive at the port earlier when travelling with a vehicle.
Is flying faster?
The flight is only about 40 minutes, but adding airport transfers and check-in brings the total to around 2–3 hours, similar to a fast ferry. Flying is useful if no ferry fits your schedule or when seas are rough.
Do I need to book ahead?
In summer, yes, especially for cars and fast ferries. Outside summer there are fewer sailings, so booking a few days ahead helps make sure the sailing you want runs and has space. Prices for the same sailing tend to rise as departure gets closer, so booking early can also save money.
