Ibiza is one of the Balearic islands, sitting pretty in the Mediterranean Sea, south-west of mainland Spain. When you think of this hugely popular destination then we’re pretty sure that clubbing is the first thing that comes to mind. But there’s so much more to an Ibiza holiday than thumping nightclubs and rowdy foam parties. The coastline is dotted with pretty coves and sandy bays in the like of Santa Eulalia, along with lush pine forests and charming whitewashed villages; and of course, you’ll find legendary nightlife in sunny resorts like Playa d’en Bossa. So whether you want to take your Ibiza holiday fast or slow, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for here.

The world’s top DJs make this top holiday hotspot their home for the summer, making resorts like San Antonio and Playa d’en Bossa a haven for clubbers from all over the world. Thousands of people pile into popular superclubs like Pacha, Amnesia, Space and Ushuaïa. But you’ll need to pace yourself; the party doesn’t even begin until midnight in the hottest venues. And here’s a tip: you can avoid the queues by buying your ticket online. During summer, the island also welcomes live bands to the Ibiza Rocks festivals. And don’t forget about the boat parties.
Quiet coves, chic beach bars and celebrity hotspots; you’ll find them all over the island. Beautiful scenery is part and parcel of Ibiza holidays; you can’t ignore the dramatic cliffs and pine forests hovering over the white-pebble beach at Cala Jondal on the south-west coast. This is one of the trendiest places here, but the atmosphere is totally laid back. Go celebrity-spotting at Los Salinas, where stylish beach clubs provide a lively atmosphere. Or head north to the pristine sands of Cala Xarraca, where you can sink into a healing mud bath sheltered by rocky cliffs. It’s the ultimate place to relax.
If you want to pick up the pace, why not try your hand at flyboarding? You’ll feel like James Bond as a tiny jet propels you over the water; it’s one of the most exciting things you can try during your Ibiza holiday. You can also get up close with nature by heading inland on a 4x4 safari adventure. And when it comes to family-friendly activities, they’ll love the Acrobosc Ibiza Adventure Park where they can zip-line through the forest, or scramble along the high platforms and rope bridges running between the trees.
