Welcome to Ibiza
Ibiza; a name that is synonymous with night life, electronic music and summer clubbing. But with white sand beaches, a laid back atmosphere, white washed buildings and locals dressed in flowing white garments it is easy to find the relaxing side of the Island...
The traditional 'Chiringuito' conjures up images of a beach bar serving grilled fish, paella and cold white wine, but on Ibiza you will find that the Chiringuito has now become the stylish Beach Club. A place where you can enjoy the peace and quiet of luxury surroundings, with immaculate service and deliciously fresh cooked seafood. In the evening these beach clubs become 'the' place to be with live music, DJs, dancers and the hippest crowds adorning their sunbeds and poolside sofas.
History & Culture in Ibiza
A popular hippy haven in the 60's and 70's, the north of Island is still a hippy hotspot with the Punta Arabi Market just north of Santa Eulalria and the sunset drumming at Benirras Beach on the north west coast. Much of the unique Ibizan fashion can be attributed to the early 'free love' visitors and many small fashion labels and boutiques across the Island focus on the white flowing linen items of clothing that are part of the local look.

Where to Stay in Ibiza
San Antonio really is the party town of Ibiza. Close to some of the worlds largest and most popular superclubs, it also boasts a 'sunset strip' full of bars and late night venues that line the beach in the calm bay. You will find accommodation for all budgets here, including self catered apartments and apart hotel, alongside large package holiday hotels and of course, as with everywhere in Ibiza, the luxury hotels.
For some culture and bit of history then Ibiza Town is the perfect place to stay. It has a wonderful and eclectic mix of Old Town charm, sophisticated cocktail bars, multi-million euro yachts and superclubs right on your door step.
Santa Eulalia to the east offers a good family base with plenty to see and do, a beautiful beach and all the convenience of a town. The same can be said of Portinatx in the north, although this beach resort is more of a purpose built resort rather than a town with Ibizan history and charm.
