The first time I went to Ibiza, I don't think I slept for the first week because of the endless round of parties. These started off in Playa D'en Bossa at the celebrated 'Bora Bora' beach club, where the music starts at noon and the DJs arriving at tea time. After Bora Bora, we would move onto places like Pacha, Amnesia or Privilege. The last place to stop was always Space who used to open their doors at dawn.
If the summer of love is your thing, then you need to head for Benirras beach where hippies play bongo drums until Dawn. After listening to their music, I always ended up in their market buying hippie souvenirs to take home. I adore shopping wherever I am and in Ibiza and what I really appreciate is that in the old town the shops selling great clothes and gifts stay open until after midnight.
While Ibiza has earned a name for the clubbing scene, there are several other hidden surprises. There are over fifty beaches on the island, most of which are glorious sandy stretches fringed by clear shallow waters. The beach facilities are high-quality and not just for clubbers! There is also a great deal on offer for families with young children.
The beaches have banana boats, scuba diving and pedaloes for those looking to splash into the water with a aim of cooling off. If you want to charter a boat, then hire it for as many hours as you want to; feel like royalty when you lease a luxury yacht for the weekend. Relaxing on the beach with an occasional dip in the sea, is the great way to get a tan.
There are a lot of things to do and see in Ibiza, in fact too many to mention here. Its story dates back to ancient times when Phoenician settlers established a port there for trading purposes. Search the caves where you will find statues of gods and goddess. There is also the capital called Eivissa with old city walls dating back to the 16th century.
I love booking an apartment that overlooks the beach and I can watch the sun set from my own sun terrace.I can never tire of Ibiza; every time I visit I discover something new. Everyone is made to feel welcome when they visit Ibiza. It may be an historic island but it is one that is constantly changing to accommodate the changing tastes and needs of its visitors.
Ibiza rentals accommodation is easy to find if you are looking for somewhere to stay. My friends and I find this serves our needs so much better. There are so many deluxe Apartments to rent Ibiza offering every modern gadget and we find the freedom preferable to hotel routines.
