Medical Care in Ibiza: Hospitals, Clinics, Pharmacies & Home Doctors

For medical care in Ibiza you have four routes. Hospital Can Misses is the main public hospital with a 24/7 ER (call 112 for emergencies). Private clinics — Policlínica Nuestra Señora del Rosario, Hospiten Cala de Bou — offer English-speaking GP and specialist care. Home-visit doctors reach your hotel or villa in 30–90 minutes, often the most convenient option for tourists. And a dense network of pharmacies, with one always on duty 24/7, covers minor ailments. EU/UK visitors are covered with EHIC/GHIC; non-EU tourists pay and claim from travel insurance.

Where is Ibiza's public hospital and what does it offer?

The island's main public hospital sits on the road between Eivissa town and Sant Antoni, technically in the municipality of Eivissa. It's a modern facility with:

• 24/7 emergency department (Urgencias)
• Pediatric, gynecology, obstetrics
• Surgery, orthopedics, cardiology
• ICU, maternity ward
• Imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI)

Most serious cases on the island end up here. EU/EEA visitors with EHIC cards and UK visitors with GHIC are covered. Non-EU tourists are billed afterwards (typically reimbursed by travel insurance).

Address: Carrer Corona s/n, 07800 Eivissa
Phone: +34 971 397 000
For emergencies: call 112

In summer, Can Misses ER waiting times can be long — 3–5 hours for non-urgent triage levels is normal. If your situation is genuinely emergent, you'll be seen quickly. If it's routine, expect to wait.

There's a smaller public clinic at Hospital Comarcal de Formentera for the neighbouring island.

What private hospitals and clinics are there in Ibiza?

How do home-visit doctors work in Ibiza?

Ibiza has a thriving on-call doctor sector, often the most convenient option for tourists. A licensed Spanish GP, registered through the Balearic medical college (COMIB), comes to your hotel, villa or apartment within 30–90 minutes and handles fever, GI symptoms, UTIs, wounds and children's illnesses.

A licensed Spanish GP (colegiated through COMIB — Colegio Oficial de Médicos de Baleares) comes to your hotel, villa, or apartment usually within 30–90 minutes.

Typical price: €120–180 daytime, €150–250 night and weekend Coverage area: Eivissa town, Marina Botafoch, Playa d'en Bossa, Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària, Sant Joan, Cala Llonga, Cala Tarida, Cala Vadella, San José village

What home-visit doctors handle well:

• Fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, urinary tract infections
• Sunburn assessment (when severe), heat-related conditions
• Children's illnesses (pediatric experience varies — ask when booking)
• Prescriptions for routine medication
• Hangover/dehydration assessment and rehydration advice
• Wound care, sutures, minor injuries

Home doctor is the right call when:

• You don't want to drag a sick child to a busy ER
• You're in a remote part of the island (Sant Joan, Es Cubells)
• You need a doctor at 3 AM and Hospiten is closed
• You want an English-speaking doctor with no waiting

What changes for medical care in Ibiza during peak summer?

In peak summer, July and August double the island's population, so hospitals get busier, clinics fill up, and home-visit doctors are heavily booked at night. If you arrive sick after midnight in mid-August, expect waits everywhere — travel with a small medication kit and know which option fits which symptom.

July and August double the island's population. Hospitals get busier, clinics fill up, home-visit doctors get heavily booked at night. If you arrive sick after midnight in mid-August, expect waits everywhere. Plan ahead: travel with a small medication kit (paracetamol, ibuprofen, oral rehydration salts, antihistamines, hydrocortisone cream, plasters), and know which option fits which symptom.

Most Ibiza visitor health issues are entirely manageable without an ER visit. The pharmacy + home-visit doctor combination handles everything short of a serious emergency.
