Ibiza travel guides claim time and time again that this Spanish island is the world's most famous party destination, and of course they are right.

But despite what you may have heard, Ibiza isn't just about world-class clubs, bars and pumping nightlife - well not completely. Scratch beneath the surface and you'll find an island that welcomes other kinds of tourism with its beautiful whitewashed towns and a rolling interior of lush green hills scattered with fig trees. Oh, and let's not forget the 50 or so beaches, which attract a wide ranging clientele from package holiday tourists to young party goers, independent travellers and everyone else in between. And with that near perfect year-round weather, Ibiza is also a great destination for both summer and winter holidays - convinced yet?

...the world's most famous party destination

If like many visitors you are thinking of travelling to Ibiza for its legendary nightlife, but you're also looking for a touch of class, then base yourself in Ibiza Town. The island's capital is a World Heritage Site that impresses with its beautiful old town centre and busy marina. It's also here that you'll find some of Ibiza's most stylish bars and restaurants, along with its most eclectic mix of tourists.

If on the other hand you'd rather down a few pints and follow up by wowing everyone with your Madonna impressions during a bit of karaoke, then perhaps San Antonio is more your thing. The island's main resort town has no pretensions of glamour, only good old-fashioned partying and holidaymaking, with activities for all. And if your party animal days are long since dead and buried then hit the island's north coast with its woods, quiet beaches and small resorts; perfect for family holidays.

Tips

. . .
1/3

For the best Ibiza has to offer in clubbing head to the island in late September for the annual closing parties. Each club puts on its own extravaganza during a week-long clubbing marathon like no other.

2/3

Save money and never buy club tickets on the door. Instead purchase them at one of the many club outlets.

3/3

Avoid the crowds and enjoy Ibiza Town's Medieval Fair in May. The old quarter turns into an outdoor theatre full of minstrels, artists, spice merchants and dancers amongst others. A great festival for the whole family.
