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.
