Glamorous and edgy all at once, Ibiza holidays are a clubber’s heaven, especially 24-hour party places like Ibiza Town and San Antonio. But it’s got its softer side too – the north of the island is full of secret coves and hills coated in lush, rich-green pine trees.
Ibiza Town’s old quarter is brimming with history. A UNESCO World Heritage site, its narrow cobbled streets are guarded by vast medieval walls – an impressive sight in themselves. The imposing 13th-century cathedral of Santa Maria d’Eivissa is top of the must-visit list, closely followed by the Almudaina Castle with its breathtaking views. Also pay a visit to the weekly Wednesday market in Es Cana colourful stalls jangle with beads, bracelets and other bohemian trinkets, and there’s no shortage of floaty saris and funky artwork either.
For those looking to party head to San Antonio or Playa d’en Bossa.
Playa d’en Bossa has a slightly more sophisticated vibe and is home to three of the island’s super-clubs. Ibiza Town has its fair share of clubs, too, including Pacha – the island’s only club that’s open all year round. Portinatx is tucked away in the scenic northern corner of the island, experience a resort set around a bay of sparkling blues and aquamarines.
Santa Eulalie is Ibiza’s third largest resort is only 21 kms from the airport and is a beloved destination for families and those seeking a quieter holiday. Here you will find beautiful, palm-lined promenade running the length of the broad and sandy beach, and the choice of hotels and apartments in and around the town itself is excellent.
