Famous for its clubbing and party atmosphere during the summer, Ibiza also has large World Heritage protected sites and beaches primed with water sports facilities. The climate is mild all year and rainy during winter.

Most of the clubs are closed except during summer, and if you visit out of season you’re likely to enjoy a quiet trip. Most visitors are English.

“Ibiza”

It's not all Club 18-30 and vomiting oiks and ladettes. That tends to be concentrated in a few places. But Ibiza is best visited on a charter yacht. There isn't a lot to see ashore except the main town, but offshore rocky islets are good for a day's sn… Read more...

It's somewhat overated

Ibiza the clubbers paradise! But for many others it's hellish. I ventured here in my very early twenties looking for the ultimate clubbing experience. How very uncool, I found it was a whole seperate ball game. It's not hip it's not happening; it actually all died off about 10 -15 years ago.

The hednoistic culture has left in its aftermath dirty streets and beaches strewn in Cigarette butts. Fine yeah if your 18 years od go for it but take wads of money because drinks even back then in little side street bars were £15 for 2 x vodka and cola.

There is not really any Spanish culture in the party land of Ibiza except from some greasy Piaella that made us sick for the rest of the duration. But my advice is to travel to the centre and visit the old town. Still not amazing but gives you a change of scene. Even better, if you can try to find an unspoiled beach and imagine you are somewhere else!

Thanks for the review Rai! I guess if you have money are are part of the 'jet set' then renting a villa and hanging out in the exclusive clubs and restaurants still has its allure. Else why would Kate Moss still bother to go there?
