Accommodation guide to Ibiza

Ibiza holidays aren’t just about partying in super clubs all night and sleeping and roasting to a crisp all day on the beach. There is much more to this Balearic Island than mainstream media would have you believe. For starters the island boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the entire Mediterranean, but also you can find a quiet secluded corner, away from the crowds, even in the height of summer.

Despite being such a small island, there are numerous accommodation options to choose from and diverse locations to base yourself depending on what kind of holiday you are after. Many of the tour operators offer something for everyone, from party people to honeymooning couples. The Holiday Photo Site is designed to help you to make the right decision.

Party and culture: Ibiza Town

Space, Pacha and Amnesia are all located in Ibiza Town and Privilege, the world’s largest club, is just a few miles away. The city is on the go all the time and whilst the beach isn’t as beautiful as those elsewhere on the island, there are still plenty of places to rest your aching head.

The Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is simple beautiful. Pastel coloured townhouses and shops spiral up to a hilltop fort from an attractive and bustling old port area. It is a far cry from the ‘new town’ area that is buzzing with clubbers. This part of Ibiza is quaint and romantic.

Family fun: Portinatx

On the north of the island Portinatx is away from the clubs and bars of the south and is altogether calmer and quieter. It’s a purpose built holiday resort so offers everything a family could hope for, including dining and entertainment venues as well as water sports hire and sheltered beaches. The beaches are beautiful and the pine-clad hills abutting them are perfect for hikers and mountain bikers. Many of the area’s coves and bays are perfect for snorkelling and scuba diving too.

Loved-up couples: Santa Eulalia

Palm trees, a white-sand beach, pine-clad hills as a backdrop and an attractive French-Riviera style promenade make Santa Eulalia a popular choice with couples looking for a quieter slice of Ibiza. It is a large resort, the island’s third biggest, but the town is more focused on elegance and luxury than world-record-breaking clubs. There are numerous top-notch restaurants and several cultural and historical sites to explore too.
