Emergency number

112

Police: 091. Ambulance: 061.

Updated July 2026 · Sources cited: oreateai.com, ibiza-haus-vermietung.de

Good to Know

  • Save 112 in your phone before you need it — it works even with a foreign SIM, no credit, or no signal from your own carrier.
  • If you don't speak Spanish, default to 112 rather than the direct-dial numbers (091, 092, 062, 061, 080) — 112 operators in the Balearics are set up to handle English.
  • AlertCops is worth installing if you're uncomfortable making a phone call in an emergency — it lets you report incidents silently by text/app instead.
  • Dial 112 for any emergency in Ibiza — it's free, works even without an active SIM or signal in some cases, and operators can generally assist in English.
  • Hospital Can Misses is the main public ER for the island and is open 24/7, but EU/UK visitors should carry their EHIC/GHIC card, and non-EU visitors should expect to be billed directly unless they have private insurance.
  • If you're in a villa outside Ibiza Town, note Can Misses sits on the edge of town — having a car or knowing the taxi number (971 39 84 83) can speed things up versus waiting for public transport.
  • The private Policlínica Nuestra Señora del Rosario is a common choice for tourists with travel insurance who want faster, English-friendly private emergency care, but you'll typically need to pay at the time of treatment.

Direct Dial Numbers

  • National Police (Policía Nacional)
    Number
    091

  • Local/Municipal Police (Policía Local)
    Number
    092
    Notes
    First point of contact for local issues — noise complaints, traffic, minor disputes.
  • Guardia Civil
    Number
    062
    Notes
    Covers rural areas and highways; relevant for incidents on Ibiza's rural roads outside the main towns.
  • Ambulance / Medical Emergencies
    Number
    061

    Direct line for serious medical emergencies; 112 also routes medical calls here.
  • Fire Brigade (Bomberos)

    080
    Notes
    Direct fire-service line; 112 also routes fire calls here.

Official Safety Apps

  • AlertCops
    Cost
    Free
    Publisher
    Spanish Ministry of the Interior
    Description
    Official government app connecting users directly to the National Police and Guardia Civil. Lets you send a silent alert or text-based report (theft, harassment, assault, suspicious behaviour, missing persons) without needing to speak, and is available in English.

Hospitals

  • Hospital Can Misses (Hospital Universitario De Can Misses)
    Type
    Public hospital — main reference hospital for Ibiza island
    Hours
    Open 24 hours, 7 days a week
    Address
    Carrer de Corona, s/n, 07800 Eivissa, Illes Balears, Spain
    Trauma ER Capability
    Full emergency department with surgery, ICU, obstetrics, paediatrics and neonatal units; it is the designated reference hospital for the whole island of Ibiza, but Spain's public system does not publish a US-style 'Level I/II/III' trauma-center rating, so no formal trauma-level designation exists to cite.
    Notes
    Public hospital under the Balearic health service (Ibsalut); accessible with EHIC/GHIC for EU/UK visitors or Spanish public health coverage.

Regional Note

Emergency calls in Spain are answered by regional 112 call centres rather than one national one — the Balearic Islands (Illes Balears, which includes Ibiza) operate their own 112 dispatch service, though the number to dial is identical everywhere in the country.

Universal Emergency Number

Number
112
English Support
Operators in tourist regions including the Balearics routinely handle calls in English, French and German in addition to Spanish, and the wider AlertCops/112 network can access dozens of languages for less common requests.
Location Tracking
Calls from mobiles automatically transmit AML (Advanced Mobile Location) data to the dispatch centre, which speeds up response when the caller doesn't know their exact address.
Description
Spain's single emergency number, valid across the whole European Union and covering all of Spain including the Balearic Islands. Free to call from any phone — landline, mobile, even with no SIM or no credit — and no area code is ever needed.
