Ibiza needs little introduction as a party destination.

You can combine wild nights with relaxing days at some of the world's most beautiful beaches. Ibiza has as much to offer older visitors and those travelling with children.

The highest part of Ibiza Town is fortified by solid Renaissance fortifications built in the 16th century by Charles V. Inside the walls is a steep maze of alleys that you'll enjoy exploring. These are densely packed with galleries, boutiques, and local conveniences such as bakeries. Playa de la Bossa On summer days, it's a haven for the young party crowd, where you can sleep off the night before under a parasol while relaxing; low-tempo music from beachfront DJs wafts over the shore. As the sun sets, head to Cafe del Mar, which has been playing lounge music for more than two decades, while guests enjoy the famous sunset.
