Ibiza vs Krabi

Ibiza is the clearer pick — 78 vs 55 on the Atlas Ranger Score, and it leads in 12 of 12 months. Krabi never pulls ahead — it trails in every month. If you're choosing on timing alone, Ibiza is the safer bet; Krabi makes sense mainly for its own strengths or its short strong window (best in January, 69).
