One island, two stories
When researching things to do in Ibiza, partying might be the most famous pass time. But stray away from the main resorts and you’ll find oodles of traditional charm and unspoiled natural beauty. It’s a hangout for hippies too, and there are still several bohemian enclaves dotted about the island.
Clubbing paradise
Ibiza clubs are second to none, drawing in hordes of dance aficionados with its world-class DJs and big-name clubs like Pacha. And that’s not to mention the legendary beach parties – get down to the bass-fuelled grooves on these sizzling sands. Stay up for one sensational all-nighter.
Traditional ways
Away from the bright lights of the party towns, traditional hamlets dot the countryside, many of them barely changed in centuries. Then there’s the island’s capital, Ibiza Town, with its UNESCO-listed old quarter crammed full of fascinating medieval architecture. There’s so much history to get to know under the surface.
What is the best time of year to visit Ibiza?
