What to Do If You Get Sick on Holiday in Ibiza
If you get sick on holiday in Ibiza: use a pharmacy for minor ailments, call 112 for emergencies, and book a private home-visit doctor for anything in between. Keep the itemised invoice for your travel-insurance claim. (Updated 2026.)
Minor issues → pharmacy. Spanish pharmacies handle many everyday complaints and are easy to find in tourist areas.
Emergency red flags → 112. Chest pain, breathing difficulty, severe bleeding or anything frightening: call the European emergency number.
Everything in between → a private home doctor you choose. You pick a verified, English-speaking doctor who comes to your accommodation.
GHIC vs insurance: the GHIC covers public hospitals; your travel insurance covers private care against an itemised invoice. Carry both.
Keep the invoice. An itemised invoice with diagnostic codes is what your insurer needs to reimburse you.
