Ibiza is part of a small chain of three islands known as the Balearic islands, which is a small archipelago off the east cost of Spain. Ibiza is a beautiful island with amazing beaches and high towering cliffs covered with pine trees. It's quite a dusty place. From a distance the hills look like they are piles of salt covered with Broccoli. If all you know of Ibiza is the trashy TV show that play on Satellite TV then you're in for a bit of a pleasant surprise when you come and visit.
Renting a car is the best way to enjoy the island. The best beaches are only available by car [and boat obviously] I would be careful about renting a moped. Loads of people get killed and injured riding. Ibiza drivers are not the best and many people drive on drinks and pills.
Most people choose to visit for the brilliant weather, fine beaches, Spanish culture and the nightlife. But there's much more on offer like the great food and wine, amazing scenery and water sports. There's also great scope for walking and horse riding when things get a little cooler between October and April. November can still be warm and sunny but much more unpredictable.
San Antonio on the west coast of Ibiza is a great place to come on holiday " this beautiful bay with its lovely beaches, spectacular sunsets and Mediterranean sunshine is very attractive. San An tends to be spoiled by the English in football shirts. There are plenty of English bars and greasy spoon cafes to help the English feel like they never left home. You can spot the English as they trudge around too hot and red with sunburn.
Ibiza has lots to offer no matter what type of holiday you are after. You sure to have an amazing time in the Balearics. It's worth pointing out that ibiza pretty much closes down for the winter once the clubs shut in October. Which is a shame as it's a great place to visit all year around.
