One of the Balearic Islands and certainly the most charming, unspoilt paradise of them all. It may be small but it has a big reputation. Ibiza is steeped in history, having been invaded by many different civilisations, each leaving their mark. The 'real Ibiza' is the land of farmers and fishermen and some of the most beautiful areas, off the beaten track.

On the northeast tip is the most beautiful part of Ibiza. A place called Portinatix has several lovely coves, a handful of hotels and offers a relaxing, peaceful time. Es Canar and Santa Eulalia are on the east coast of the island. Again, charming villages. Es Canar offers a wonderful open-air market (known as the hippy market) where you can buy almost anything, and several beaches and vibrant nightlife. Santa Eulalia also has excellent restaurants, a lovely square and a hilltop church. There is a promenade along the beach.

Sant Rafel and Sant Josep are located in the heart of the countryside but still within easy reach of the beach.
