Ibiza is a fabulous destination for a holiday. It attracts the cream of the world’s DJ’s making it an ultimate destination for clubbers, but it also oozes a relaxed Bohemian vibe, boasts fantastic hillside and sea views and is perfect for hikers, boasts spectacular beaches, is dotted with attractive, hidden hamlets and boasts an enviable dining scene. Dalt Vila of Ibiza Town is picturesque with centuries-old mansions, steep, atmospheric cobbled streets, jasmine draped balconies and a majestic Gothic cathedral. It is easy to see why it is World Heritage-listed. The island is so diverse; there is something for everyone.
Cala Jondal Beach is beautiful and fashionable, one of the trendiest on the island. Surrounded by pines and jagged cliffs, it is very popular with luxury boat owners. The fantastic beach clubs on Cala Jondal even offer pick-ups from the luxury yachts.
San Jose is a charming village, not far from the villa, with a very good selection of restaurants and shops. It is in the foothills of Sa Talaia, the highest mountain on the island. There is a lovely Saturday morning market where around 20 stalls offer local and organic produce including fruit, vegetables, home-made bread and pastries. You will also find artists selling paintings, ceramics and sculptures.
In the southeast of the island, the fabulous Parc Natural de Ses Salines boasts 210 species of birds, sparkling salt pans and breathtaking sandy beaches such as Illestes and Llevant. It feels as though you are in the Caribbean on the salt-white sand. The sunsets and the cocktails served at the beach bars are incredible. If you are lucky, you will spot the hot-pink flocks of migrating flamingoes.
Ibiza is known for its holistic spa and relaxation scene. There are many spas, some in the wonderful citrus and olive groves of the countryside offering yoga, meditation and all sorts of beauty and wellness programmes.
San Agustin is one of the prettiest villages on Ibiza. It is halfway off the main road between San Antonio and San Jose. It is one of the best-preserved villages so offers a slice of the real Ibiza. You can visit the stone tower, the parish house and the church which was first blessed in 1806. From the church square, you will enjoy a fantastic, panoramic view of the impressive San Jose hills and open countryside.
