Are you looking for a perfect getaway to a sun drenched island? Do you enjoy time away from the kids, your own or someone elses? The Mediterranean island of Ibiza is a luxurious getaway from the mundane life you lead. You can expect high energy, away from the norm lifestyles on the island of Ibiza. Ibiza is the play ground of the rich and famous from the UK. Don’t be surprised to find your favorite mix master showing up as a guest DJ at your resort or a local club. Holidays in Ibiza are always full of surprises.

If you’re a sun worshiper, Ibiza is your haven. When you want a grown up vacation, you’ll find Ibiza to be much more satisfying than other islands in the region. The playground of the rich and famous, Ibiza is always known to be inhabited by fashion icons and tabloid stars. You may very well rub elbows with one of your favorite celebrities when you come to Ibiza.

The city of Ibiza surrounds Dalt Villa, the remains of a walled city that dates back to the medieval period. Make sure to visit the Ibiza Cathedral on the hill that was built in the 14th century. The once Gothic styled cathedral was fully refurbished in the late 18th century and was remodeled in the baroque style. Learn about the dedication of the cathedral to Santa Maria la Mayor and the drastic change in architectural style.

Are you an avid golfer? Well bring your clubs to Ibiza when you visit! If you don’t feel like lugging clubs all over town, you can rent a set from the Ibiza Golf Club or Roca Llisa Golf Club. Both clubs are open to visitors year round. Get blown away by the breath taking views from nearly every hole. You and your friends or traveling companion will be impressed with the pro league greens available on Ibiza.

Looking for a relaxing and educational activity while on Ibiza? If you are, then you’ll love the tours offered by water on the Ibiza Star or the Formentara Star. These sea tours leave out of either the Marina Botafoch or La Savina Point. You’ll find cruises for every member of the family including afternoon trips out to sea that guarantee you the best tan and greatest views of Ibiza. You’ll also be able to choose from pleasure cruises like the adults preferred “Klasik” cruise.

You can find full tours of the island by sea or shore. Check out Panorama Excursions who offer services from 845 am until 5 pm on Saturday and Wednesday.

You’ll find a little bit of something for everyone with one of these guide based tours.

Although Ibiza remains a grown up paradise, families with kids are still welcome. Local resorts cater activities to children and offer kids camps and nanny services. This way you can still bring your children on holiday with you but enjoy adult activities. Ibizas certified babysitting services come in handy when you’re interested in exploring the local nightlife.

The island of Ibiza is well known for being the party capital of Spain. Visit the Ibiza Marina area to party it up with the locals and other tourists. You’ll be up til’ dawn when you visit Ibiza nightclub Pacha. Pacha is well known for having guest DJs from all over Europe.
