Ibiza Holidays

Ibiza: Introduction

Ibiza's nightlife is legendary, but there's more to this sunny isle than the clubs and bars of San Antonio and Ibiza Town. Lying just off the coast of Valencia, this Balearic Island is a land scattered with historic highlights, exciting attractions and more than 60 beaches, where porcelain-white sands slide into gleaming waters. From the rich olive groves in the north of the island, to the cosmopolitan coastal resorts, Ibiza holidays have something to suit every type of traveller.

The capital, Ibiza Town encapsulates the rich cultural tapestry and quirky charm that is infused throughout the island. The grand marina is filled with impressive yachts and the finest restaurants in Ibiza, whilst magnificent 16th century walls surround the maze of the historic Old Town. Keen shoppers will find this charming capital the perfect choice for a holiday to Ibiza, with boutiques, stalls and bargain bins galore.

Santa Eulalia is the island's second most populated area and is home to whitewashed houses, unadorned beautiful churches and the intriguing historical monument es Puig de Missa. Golf-lovers will find the only course on the island here, whilst the region also offers a range of water sports and nautical activities. Idyllic beaches are scattered along the coastline and there are a number of walking trails from which to explore towering cliffs and well-preserved defensive towers. Ibiza's most treasured local markets are also found in the lovely towns of Es Cana and Sant Carles.

Located on the west coast just 10 miles from the airport, San Antonio is the most vibrant holiday resort on the island. Known affectionately as 'San An' to the thousands of tourists that visit each year, the town is both a clubbing mecca and home to some intimate beaches. San Antonio's wide bay boasts a wide range of bars, restaurants and budget accommodation, with regular ferry trips available from the large port to the beautiful beaches of Cala Conta, Cala Basa and Cala Tarida. If you're looking to experience San Antonio's infamous nightlife it's best to visit during July and August, whilst families and couples looking for a cheap package holiday to Ibiza may enjoy the more tranquil months of May, June, September and October.

Day trips to the paradise isle of Formentera are widely available. Enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the tapas bars or cafés and spend hours of utter relaxation on the white sand, lapped by the azure sea.
