Ibiza – Let’s get the Party started

This party-loving island is home to mega clubs hosting Europe’s top DJs, mellow beach cafés where the

nightly sunset becomes a magical experience, and fine water sports and activities. Find out more about

Ibiza below:

Activities

Horse Riding. Located in a green valley in the north of the island, Ibiza Horse Valley is a sanctuary and

riding center for mistreated horses, offering everything from half-day rides along the beach to full-day

treks into the hills, and overnight stays. Owner David encourages you to get to know your horse, and you

will feed it, groom it and be asked to tack up.

Diving. Based at Marina Botafoch in Ibiza Town, Scuba

Ibiza Diving runs the full shebang of courses, from

three-hour intro sessions to the four-day Open Water

Diver. There are around 30 dive sites to choose from,

many of which are in the pristine Freus Marine Reserve,

and offer exceptional visibility (up to 30 meters), a

variety of landscapes including wrecks, caves, walls with

gorgeous sea fans, spectacular shallow dives and sea

grass beds.

Boat Tour. The tiny island of Formentera lies just south

of Ibiza, and its coastline and waters are often referred

to as a taste of the Caribbean in the Mediterranean. A

great way to see this for yourself is on a boat trip.

Montymar Boat Tours offers a seven-hour trip,

departing from Talamanca Bay, taking you along Ibiza’s

coastline before crossing to Formentera.

Partying

Sant Antoni. From the port, head for the small rock-and-sand strip on the north shore to join hundreds of

others for drinks at a string of lounge bars. Once the sun goes down, Café del Mar is the place to be, and

the place to be seen – an Ibiza institution, it’s been serving up the same mix of ambient tunes, pricey

drinks and staggering sunsets for more than 30 years.

Platja d’en Bossa. A short hop from Ibiza City, Platja d’en Bossa is the island’s longest beach and is where

the party set hangs out. For daytime clubbing, head to Ushuaïa – the open-air megaclub gets the party

started early with superstar DJs such as David Guetta, Luciano and Sven Väth, and poolside lounging on

Balinese beds with billowing white curtains. Check out the Sky Lounge for sparkling sea views.

Cala Benirras. From Port de Sant Miquel, an unsealed road continues a couple of miles around the coast

to the pretty bay of Cala Benirràs, with high, forested cliffs and a couple of bar-restaurants that back onto

the beach. The clear water here makes this a popular spot for snorkelling. At dusk, particularly on

Sundays, the party people come out with bongos to bang out a greeting to the sunset, something they

have been doing for decades.
