The Three Routes

Tap a card to seed the route. Nothing is locked: the city sequence below can be rewritten stop by stop.

✓
Option A

Northern Glamour

Edinburgh → Paris → Ibiza
4 days · 2 full days · 4 days  ·  9 nights / 10 days
Cool, historic opener; café-and-museum midpoint; beach-club crescendo. The mood and the weather both build.
Best for: the group that wants the trip to peak at the end.

Option B

Party First

Ibiza → Paris → Edinburgh
4 days · 2 full days · 4 days  ·  9 nights / 10 days
Hit Ibiza while energy is highest, then taper into culture and cooler air to recover before the flight home.
Best for: wanting the big nights out of the way early.

✓
Option C

UK Core + One Splash

London/Dublin → Edinburgh → Ibiza or Paris
2–3 · 3–4 · 3 days  ·  same 9-night frame
Keep it mostly UK with one southern exclamation point. Fewer countries, simpler logistics, more time per base.
Best for: a calmer pace and fewer flight days.

Logistics, Settled

Flights

Book an open-jaw: EWR → Edinburgh in, Ibiza → EWR out. Two intra-Europe legs (Edinburgh→Paris, Paris→Ibiza) on budget carriers — watch baggage fees, they erase the savings fast.

The Car

Rent only in Scotland, pick up and drop in the same city before flying. Never a multi-country one-way rental. Paris and Ibiza run on taxis, transit, and transfers.

Lodging

Three entire-place Airbnbs only — 2–3 bedrooms, A/C, 4.8+ rating, walkable to transit/nightlife. Three bases in ten days, not five. Confirm cleaning fees and flexible cancellation.

Packing & Laundry

One carry-on wardrobe in layers: Scotland layers, Paris chic, Ibiza beach + night. One laundry run mid-trip (Airbnb washer or drop-off) — never on a transit day.

Entry Documents

UK ETA required for Scotland/London — £20, valid 2 years, apply on GOV.UK a week-plus before flying. ETIAS for France/Spain starts Q4 2026 (and isn't mandatory until ~April 2027), so July/August needs no action. Keep passports valid 6+ months beyond return.

Money

Two currencies: pounds (GBP) in Scotland, euros (EUR) in France and Ibiza. Bring a no-foreign-fee card each, pay in local currency when terminals offer a choice, and skip airport exchange desks. Keep ~€50 cash for taxis and beach kiosks; track shared costs in one app from day one.

Phones & Insurance

Buy a UK+EU eSIM (or a carrier roaming pass) before departure — one data plan covers all three countries. Add travel insurance with medical cover as soon as flights are paid: the boat day, club tickets, and nonrefundable Airbnbs are exactly what it protects.

Booking Rule

Do not pay until the group has locked dates, route, budget ceiling, passport status, and luggage plan. Price the whole route with bags before comparing budget carriers.

4Scotland method: guided Highlands day or rental car?Open
This decides whether Scotland is easy logistics or maximum flexibility. It affects car timing, insurance, and who has to drive.
C1Route C opener: London or Dublin?Open
London gives the train-to-Edinburgh arc; Dublin gives the pub-and-music opener with a short flight north.
C2Route C splash: Ibiza or Paris?Open
Ibiza keeps the beach-and-club finish; Paris makes the final leg food, museums, and a cleaner transatlantic return.
5France base: Paris or the Riviera?Open
This is not implied by the route order. Pick Paris for museums/dinners, or Riviera for Nice beach clubs and different flight pricing.
6Ibiza style: beach-first or club-first?Open
This decides where the Airbnb search and activity budget point: quieter beaches and sunsets, or nightlife-first access.
7Budget ceiling per person?Open
Gives the planner a number to filter Airbnbs and the boat/club spend against. Estimate runs ~$2,550–$4,950.
8The one non-negotiable each.Open
Everyone names their must-do so nobody feels railroaded. All three filled = locked.
9Passports valid 6+ months + UK ETA.Open
Check each traveler once confirmed: passport valid 6+ months past return and UK ETA applied for (£20 on GOV.UK).
