If crisp air and panoramic sunset, crystal clear water with secluded beaches, miles of pine forests and mouth-watering sea foods what make for a perfect holiday destination, then the lovely Ibiza and the rest of Balearic islands situated in Spain can race to the top purely on these merits only. But when we are talking about Ibiza holidays, there is something more! These breathtakingly beautiful Mediterranean islands are also known for world’s best night clubs. Together, these make Balearic islands one the most happening places on the planet to be for night-time revelers, Hippies, free spirits and nature lovers.
We checked into a fine hotel in Ibiza town. As there are various categories of standard hotels in and around Ibiza, finding a suitable accommodation shouldn't be a problem. Those who prefer lively atmosphere may like to stay in San Antanio or perhaps Playa d’en Bossa areas that are close to bars and clubs. Others looking for solitude may head off to resorts of Santa Eulalia, San Rafael or San Jose. Beside these, Ibiza has some stunning boutique hotels that come with personalized services with gourmet cuisine, gazebo and likewise. So, if you are planning to live life king-size, even if it is only for a few days, there may not be a better place than Ibiza.
Since Ibiza is famous for sea foods, we decided to taste some of their local delicacies like Paella (sea food with rice and saffron), Parrillada de Pescado and even Dorada – a typical white meat fish that tasted like lobster, washed down with ‘Sangria’. While gorging on the delicious spread, our local guide regaled us with interesting anecdotes about life in Ibiza. For deserts, our guide-turned-friend took us to a place called Calle Del Mar located in Ibiza town. The shop is called Ibirosa where we had the most interesting time eating some stunning ice creams we have ever had in our life. My ice cream looked like a rose and I had the most difficult time deciding whether to eat it or just marvel at the amazing piece of art!
After having such a heavy meal, it was time for some action, and action it was! Since the entire stretch of coastline in Ibiza is dotted with beaches and coves, we spend some wonderful time exploring new beach everyday. We indulged in our favorite water sports and cooled off in beach bars, restaurants and cafes with aromatic Frigola or Sangria. For a gorgeous view of the setting sun, we went to the cove of San Antanio. We also went to the Salinas beach, considered among the best European beaches. But if diving or walking hand in hand is what you have in mind, I would suggest you to take a twenty minutes bus journey from San Antonio to secluded Cala Tarida.
Nightlife in Ibiza
I heard someone saying – “What Vegas is for gamblers, Ibiza is for party lovers!” Rightly so; we saw Hippies and revelers making merry all through the night full of rum and beer. The atmosphere is electrifying with cool music, DJs, crowd and interesting locations. You never even realize when you are sucked into it, and such is the magic of the place!
Conclusion: Lastly, what makes my Ibiza holiday in Spain stands out? It is the scintillating mix of luxury and culture, stunning beaches and landscapes, brilliant weather and mouth-watering sea food and, of course, vibrant nightlife. The place just doesn’t let you forget in a hurry; it grows on you.
