Ibiza – A True Paradise Island
Ibiza has a well deserved reputation as being a party island but it is important to know that there is much more to the island than dancing all night long to the latest DJs. It is the closest of all the Balearic Islands to Spain and has 125 miles of coastline dotted with magnificent beaches with golden sand and crystal clear water and also many quiet small coves.
Accommodation ranges from cheap and simple budget rooms to deluxe resorts and hotels, these can all be found both close to the shore and miles inland. The main tourist season is during the European summer at which time the lodgings may be full to capacity so it is best to book as far in advance as possible.
Ibiza first shot to world wide attention in the’90s when the dance music scene really took off. Now you can find here some of the best bars and clubs that Europe has to offer that attract visitors of all nationalities and backgrounds. But if you want to escape from the partying then you will not be let down. If you want peace and quiet then it is easy to rent an old stone cottage in a rural setting. Also you can spend many days exploring the beautiful walks that the island offers through its stunning Mediterranean scenery.
Ibiza town still has a medieval charm and is the biggest and perhaps most beautiful on the island. It is full of first class restaurants, friendly bars, and a stunning cathedral.
Every here there are around three hundred days of sunshine, with only a small number of rainy days. Luckily the cool and refreshing sea breeze helps it from getting uncomfortably hot. The winters are also a great time to visit as the temperature never drops as low as most of Europe.
The pace of life throughout the island is very laid back. All your stresses and worries can be left behind at the airport.
