Ibiza has a well deserved reputation as being a party island but it is important to know that there is much more to the island than dancing all night long to the latest DJs. It is the closest of all the Balearic Islands to Spain and has 125 miles of coastline dotted with magnificent beaches with golden sand and crystal clear water and also many quiet small coves.
Accommodation ranges from cheap and simple budget rooms to deluxe resorts and hotels, these can all be found both close to the shore and miles inland. The main tourist season is during the European summer at which time the lodgings may be full to capacity so it is best to book as far in advance as possible.
Ibiza's fame skyrocketed during the'90s when the dance music scene really began to take off. Now you can find some of the best clubs and bars in Europe. Thousands of visitors both young and old enjoy the social life that is unmatched. Apart from the nightclubs there are many other attractions. You can choose to spend a leisurely few days relaxing in a rural stone cottage and exploring the numerous walks near to almond and olive groves, as well as taking time to experience the pine forests, salt lakes, and historic buildings.
