The pristine beaches and towering cliff-tops are not the only examples of natural beauty to be absorbed; inland you will find undulating terrain that cradles the picturesque white washed hamlets and nurtures the vibrant orchards of orange and lemon trees, as well as fig and olive groves. Ibiza is only 45 kilometres long and 25 kilometres wide, so there’s every opportunity to explore and discover your own quiet haven and for children to delight in some simple beach fun.
Let’s not forget the music. The frenetic clubbing lifestyle is indeed legendary and the popularity of the exclusive venues is a clear indication Ibiza remains a highly sought playground. Stylish beach bars and restaurants are a particular draw for celebrities and anyone who likes to 'people watch'.
The chic overtones and artistic heritage continue to promote the bohemian personality of the island's capital, Ibiza Town, locally known as Eivissa. Around the port and up to the old quarter, a UNESCO World Heritage site called Dalt Vila, lies the main hub of activity. The streets are lively early evening as people of all ages greet the night with fun and festivities. From here high on the hill top, the views of the town and bay below are reward enough for a gentle meander up through the cobbled streets. The winding lanes in the old fisherman’s quarter Sa Peña and La Marina are decorated with stalls and boutique shops, great for browsing during an evening stroll. |
