“The free spirit of the Balearics, Ibiza has long been the world’s favourite dancefloor. These days, though, this pretty isle is stepping to a new beat…”
It seems Ibiza’s gone all grown up on us. Sure, it’s still the place to party. But it’s got another side to it, and it’s pulling in a very different kind of crowd.
The north coast towns of Puerto San Miguel and Portinatx couldn’t be further away from the party. Save for a few bars and restaurants, there’s little to disturb the heather-cloaked hills and sandy bays. Head south east and Santa Eulalia cranks things up a notch, with a chi-chi boutique and restaurant scene. As for Facebook-worthy photos, enter Ibiza Town. Get some snaps of the old quarter – its whitewashed alleys and cobbled streets wear a castle for a crown.
Lastly, it’d be rude to mention Ibiza without paying homage to its legendary nightlife. Pack your clubbing gear if you’re heading to Playa d’en Bossa or San Antonio – they’re all about neon-lit bars and big-name clubs. Saying that, Playa d’en Bossa’s safe shoreline and waterpark make it just as popular with families as the big-fish little-fish crowd.
