Good things happen to those who go to Ibiza

Certain places in the world call our name, draw us like a magnet and the Spanish magic island of Ibiza is one of them.

The creator of the universe sure spent a little more time and blessed the island with incredibly beautiful beaches

crystal-clear and turquoise waters

unique landscapes

warm and friendly locals and all within easy reach from the old continent and Mainland Spain.

Known the world over as the party capital of Europe thanks to the best DJ’s playing music in hip clubs from dusk until the next day and partygoers dance the night away under the stars, Ibiza offers so much more than an incredible nightlife.

Visitors from all walks of life, both national and international, flock to the Balearic Islands from the spring until the end of the summer in search of sun, sand, surf, relaxation and indulge in a luxury or boutique hotels where they receive a royal treatment.

Thinking about heading there and find out what the big buzz is all about? Here are some suggestions on What to See and do in Ibiza

 

Get a dose of history and culture

The town of Ibiza or locally known as Eivissa is the starting point of any tour of the island.

Its main attraction is Dalt Vila or Uptown which has been designated as one of the world’s heritage sites for its historic and cultural value.

Its century old walls which were built to protect the city from pirates or foreign invaders, cobblestone streets, alleys, and spectacular views of the harbor and the sea take literally take your breath away.

Walk along narrow alleys

and admire typical white-washed houses

or go on a day-trip to nearby islets by boat or ferry.

and at the end of the day stand in awe before this glorious vision (and Mother Nature’s greatest shows).

Where to stay

For more laid-back, relaxing and quiet holidays, and to fully recharge batteries, opt to stay in Santa Eulària des Riu or Santa Eulalia del Río, which is the third largest town on the island and a great seaside resort town.

Several 5 star luxury hotels such as Aguas de Ibiza, an eco-luxury design hotel, line up the coast. The property, which is scheduled to reopen during Easter 2017 for a new season, offers superb accommodation, fine dining with spectacular views,

Get some vitamin sea

It is well-known that life is better at the beach and there are so many to choose from around the island, the most difficult part is picking one or more.

Go for a swim in clear and peaceful waters

Stroll along golden sand beaches and let gentle waves reach your feet.

 

 

Go island hopping

One of the best ways to escape from the hustle and bustle of a city or town is to be sail away at sea and go island hopping.

Water sport lovers will rejoice, from diving, surfing to kayaking or just relaxing under the sun, it will be a trip to remember.

 

What to eat

Ibiza is surrounded by the sea, therefore food is prepared daily with fresh produce and fine ingredients and are accompanied by local wine.

Among the well-known dishes we find: sobrasada (sausage infused with paprika), sofrit pagès (fried meat), guisat de peix (fish stew), arroz a la marinera (resembling the paella),

For your sweet tooth or dessert lovers, there is:

Flao (soft tart made with goat cheese and mint)

Greixonera (Cinnamon pudding)

Or

Orelletes (lemon-flavored fried pastry)

 

And last but not least

 

Where to party

If there is anything Ibiza does better than anyone else on earth is to party the night away! They are the worldwide leaders.

Famed DJ’s, musicians and artists come to the island to take the pulse of what is hot and happening in the world of music.
