IBIZA

In eager pursuit to know why summer in Ibiza is all the rave, we jetted off to this sunny Balearic island off the east coast of Spain in the Mediterranean to see what all the fuss was about.

 

While many hedonists flock here for the White Isle’s top of the class clubbing scene, we came with whole other intention: beach hopping, gorging at some seriously good eateries, scouting out some classy beach clubs and some much needed R&R. It only took a day to see that Ibiza is for everyone, hippies, chic bohos, yogis, night ravers, blissed-out beach lovers, watersport maniacs and adventuratis.

 

The next four days were spent exploring Ibiza’s crystal clear coves (trust us, you’ll want to rent a car for this!), feasting on fresh fruit and veggies as well as lip-smackingly good seafood at beachside cabanas, sipping on the best rosemary infused G&Ts and exotic cocktails at trendy beach clubs, renting a boat to discover the sparkling coast and its sandy shores, waking up with sunrise yoga classes, not to mention willingly coming back to chillax at some of the most spoiling, fun-loving, restful or eco boutique hotels on the planet! Hands down one of our favourite European summer spots…definitely coming back to this gem!

 

On our last day as well we took the ferry over to Formentera…you can read about it here because you can’t skip this little island out – it has the most insane clear water for miles and miles.
