Before you go
The kit I actually use for Ibiza.
Short list, honest picks. Each link is an affiliate one — if you buy through it I earn a small commission. None of these are paid placements; the editorial pick is the same whether you click through or not.
Stay connected — eSIMs
Skip the airport SIM kiosk. Activate before you fly, land with data already on. The four below are the ones I've actually used.
Airalo
200+ country eSIMs from a single app. Pay-per-GB, activate in 5 min.
Holafly
Unlimited-data eSIMs for 130+ countries. Best for video-heavy travel days.
Saily
By the NordVPN team — eSIMs with built-in privacy + ad-block. Tighter pricing on EU plans.
Nomad
Per-country and regional eSIMs. The best UX of the lot — instant QR install on iOS.
Travel cover
Don't fly without it. Heymondo and SafetyWing are my defaults — the others are listed because the right cover depends on the trip.
SafetyWing Nomad
Subscription travel medical. €45-ish/month, covers everywhere. Built for digital-nomad-shaped trips.
Heymondo
Premium travel insurance, EU-friendly, 24/7 multilingual chat. Adventure-sports add-ons available.
World Nomads
The classic adventure-friendly cover. Works mid-trip — book from the road.
Battleface
For higher-risk trips — adventure-sports, festivals at altitude, motorbikes. Not the cheapest, but actually pays out.
Roaming + pocket Wi-Fi
Old phone or sharing across devices? Pocket Wi-Fi is the niche-but-real fallback.
Airport transfers
Pre-book the airport run — a vetted driver and a fixed price beats a taxi queue after a flight.
Disclosure
Every link on this page is an affiliate link. If you buy through it I earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. The editorial picks above don’t change based on payout — they’re the products I’d recommend regardless. Where I haven’t personally tested a product, I say so in the note.
