The Roughest Guide To Ibiza

by Tom Binns

Ibiza is the smallest of the main Balearic islands, ‘discovered’ by artists and hippies in the 1960’s. 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. Ibiza is a partying paradise for the millions of holiday-makers who land each year; but there is also a relaxed side to Ibiza with its 18km ofbeaches where you can discover some excellent and almost deserted coves.

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.

Ibiza weather is superb, with over 300 days of sunshine per year. However if you arrive in May-June and September-October you’ll find the weather is still good and you won’t have to deal with crowds of drunken holidaymakers. The weather or more unpredictable can be nice through November.

San Antonio is very popular, especially to people looking to escape the unpredictable British weather and enjoy almost guaranteed summer sun. It’s full of the wrong type of tourists though if you want to get away from England. Most of the English here prefer to holiday in their football shirts.

Ibiza has proved a popular destination throughout the years for everyone from the Jet Set to the Hippies. What ever kind of holiday you want Ibiza has something for you. One of the best months to visit is September when the sea is still warm but the sun is cooler and most of the tourists have left.
