The Balearic Islands of Spain are world-famous for their fabulous beaches and legendary party scene. Perhaps the most well-known of these islands is Ibiza. With a reputation for beach raves and allnight dance clubs, Ibiza has worked in recent years to tone down its image and attract quieter, family-oriented tourists. While this has resulted in various new laws and regulations (including a requirement that all new hotel development be of the standards of 5 star hotel Ibiza), there is still plenty of partying to be had on the island.
First stop on an visit to Ibiza must be the beach. Playa d’en Bossa is the most popular, but there are so many beaches ranging from retail and party locations to secluded coves that everyone will find a beach that suits them. In addition to restaurants, clubs, and shops, beaches offer great opportunities for sailing, swimming, and other water sports. Or simply soak up the sun and do some people watching. Many beaches offer stunning coastline views and beautiful sunsets.
The hippies that descended on Ibiza in the 1960s and 1970s have left a tradition of Hippie Markets that can be a delight for dedicated shoppers. There are also small local shops and even a few designer boutiques in Ibiza’s larger cities. Don’t forget to sample the amazing Spanish cuisine available across the island, especially dishes featuring seafood as fresh as only an island can offer. Venture to the island’s interior villages to find more rustic, country fare and enjoy the forests and lakes of Ibiza.
Other attractions on Ibiza include the Caves at Can marca, the island’s two National Parks, and various historic landmarks. The island offers train tours to explore Ibiza’s countryside. There is also an aquarium that has been built into an abandoned smuggler’s cave and a new water slide park for families.
