Ibiza; An Island of Contrasts
IBIZA - an island of contrasts Of course it's world-renowned for
its uniquely hedonistic clubbing scene, but there are so many
other sides to the island. Ibiza's wildly beautiful coastline
boasts dozens of outstanding cove beaches, lapped by crystalline
turquoise waters, while the hilly interior is replete with
whitewashed villages and pine forests. Then there are dozens of
remarkable restaurants offering everything from typical
Ibicencan dishes, Zen-styled sushi bars to cutting-edge
contemporary cuisine. Ibiza represents a perfect mixture where
everyone can find what they want.
Beautiful beaches, white sand coves, crystal clear shorelines
and deep-sea waters are within minutes drive of anywhere. The
island's interior is home to dense pine-forests, refreshing
rolling hills, traditional whitewashed villages and extremely
friendly locals.
Ibiza Old Town itself is steeped in culture and history and the
island's capital, with its mediaeval walls and dominating
Cathedral is one of the most beautiful towns in the
Mediterranean.
Of course if it's nightlife you're after - look no further.
Ibiza is the summer party capital of the world, and features
spectacular night spots and world famous DJ's.
The level of service has improved greatly on the island, with
activities such as water sports, hot air ballooning,
mountain-biking, boat rental and yoga easy to find and
well-priced. For the full rock-star service, I would recommend
hiring a villa complete with chef, maid and chauffeur; some
villa rental agents are even offering a concierge service
through which you can book tables at exclusive restaurants, get
VIP tickets to the best clubs, hire boats or arrange other
services such as masseurs in your villa. They can take the
strain out of organising events such as weddings, and can
arrange photographers, make-up artists and chauffeurs to make
your special day as perfect as possible
If you are planning your summer holidays, take another look at
Ibiza...I think you will find yourselves as pleasantly surprised
as I was.
