Hola Ibiza!

 

 

Haute clubs and the hottest beaches, this island’s got it all! Eivissa or Ibiza, call it what you will, is the island where the party (some world famous ones like ‘Espuma’- Spanish for foam party at Amnesia, one of the best club in Ibiza); never stops until the sun heralds the dawn, and when it does its time to prepare for another one. Needless to say it’s a den like no other for the party animal, and the wilder the better! Yet there is more to Ibiza than the summer party paradise that it is. Th e most popular of the Balearic islands, Ibiza is also now increasingly catering to both young and the not so young (but young at heart nonetheless); with clubs, aqua parks, cuisines and tranquil beaches and coves. Considerable sections of the island are registered UN World Heritage Sites that open a window to the much understated heritage and cultural beauty of the island. Stunning beaches and exhilarating nightlife apart, you’ll be surprised by the beautiful Ibiza countryside. Experience typical Ibiza village charm at Santa Gertrudis, a tiny hamlet in the middle of the island famous for quaint little handicraft shops and galleries, or head toward the 2,500-year-old D’Alt Vila which has man- aged to maintain much of its medieval character despite the commercialisation the island has seen. Th e fortress walls where people have been living for thou- sands of years still houses about 700 people. Lovers of art can spend their day at Galeria Van der Voort, one of the region’s best art galleries looking at paintings and pictures from some of the best local and international artists. Whoever said ‘you’re going to Ibiza, ‘cause you’re only gonna party’ was only telling half the story.
