Ibiza Holidays, Spain
Overview
Ibiza Holidays
Off the eastern coast of mainland Spain, amongst the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea, lies the island known as “The White Isle” – Ibiza. Over the years it has been favoured by the masses, from the hippies in the 70’s to all night party-goers in the 90’s.
Yet Ibiza is reinventing itself yet again, adding a more family friendly scene to its agenda. So if you thought Ibiza holidays were all about dancing till dawn, think again. This little jewel of an island is home to films stars, fishermen, farmers and fashion models, DJs and dances, expats and tourists. You can be anything on Ibiza, but one thing you won’t be is bored.
Ibiza holidays offer some of the most magnificent sandy beaches, crystal–clear waters and stunning landscapes in the region. With an average of 300 days of sunshine each year, this small island has much to offer. A holiday to Ibiza will leave you, most definitely, wanting more.
Holidays in Ibiza – The white isle

Small in size, big on fun, there is something for all ages on the White Isle.
Formentera
A world apart from Ibiza yet only an hour’s boat ride away is the island of Formentera. More peaceful and much smaller than its neighbour, Formentera is great to take in by foot, bike or car and can be visited in just one day. Laze on the powdery sand of the beaches or take a dip in the turquoise waters. Visit the southern tip of the island and look out to the coast of North Africa. Whatever you decide, lose yourself in your Ibiza holiday.
A clubber’s mecca
For years, Ibiza has been known as the party capital of Europe and in the main towns and resorts you’ll be spoilt for choice. With bars and clubs to suit everyone’s taste, internationally renowned DJs come back year on year. Watch the sunset at Cafe Del Mar and then dance alongside 10,000 other partygoers at the world’s biggest club, Privilege, before watching the sunrise through the glass-roofed ceiling.
Top Ibiza Holiday Resorts
Es Cana – A holiday to Es Cana is certainly something for the whole family. A sweep of golden sands, cheerful restaurants, lively family entertainment bars and a tiny harbour filled with fishing boats with fabulous views across the sea, the fact that Es Cana is quiet does not mean that there is nothing to do. Home to the original Hippy Market, the biggest market on the island, browse the stalls or watch one of the many performers who are ready to provide some impromptu entertainment.
Portinatx – On the rugged northwest coast of Ibiza, a holiday to Portinatx is ideal for families, with several beaches, lovely clear waters and plenty of restaurants and bars. The three main beaches contrast each other strikingly. Explore the rocky crags, or laze away next to the fishing boats that line the shore. Take a short ferry or road train to the nearby Sant Miquel and try your hand at traditional dancing which takes place outside the church.
San Antonio Bay – Famed for being the most beautiful bay in the Mediterranean, this thriving resort has several beaches so the crowds tend to be dispersed. Sip sangria along Sunset Strip whilst the sun disappears into the horizon and party till dawn with your fellow revellers. For those who dare, the bungee catapult in San Antonio is breathtaking, yet if you don’t think you can stomach this kind of adventure, take a glass bottom boat tour from the harbour for a great way to see the marine life.
