Struggling to find travel insurance for Ibiza for heart failure

I'm trying to find travel insurance to Ibiza and have heart failure. I was fine using medical travel compared to go to Spain but it doesn't find anything when putting Ibiza in.

Does anyone have any reasonable priced comparison sites or specific travel insurance company they use to go to Ibiza as I'm struggling to find one currently other than insure and go that is 3 to 4 times the cost of my last trip to Spain this year

Thanks

Surely Ibiza IS Spain??

I wish it was as would make it easier, but always comes up separately

I would have said the same as Heather: Ibiza is part of Spain. That said, I’ve just been to the website you said you were using out of curiosity, and Ibiza immediately came up as an option when I started typing it in?

Either StaySure or AllClear. They only tend to have issues if you are undergoing tests or awaiting a procedure such as ablation, stents or bypass. In these cases you are generally uninsurable, or need to pay mega money and be accompanied by a doctor.

I found that Mallorca, another of the Balearic islands, was also treated separately. But I got cover fine.

Morning I am off to Ibiza next week and I got my travel insurance withinsurancewith.com they are a specialist company for pre existing conditions I found them really reasonable, I used them when I had heart failure, I have since had a transplant and I am £30 for 10 nights, I hope you get it sorted and have a fab holiday.

We use Goodtogo for travel and I have numerous medical issues including aortic valve replacement. My husband tells me they are the best he has researched. Good luck! Sue

My friend used PUFFIN travel insurance found on one of the comparison site. The cost was considerably less than most.
