Ibiza

At around 572 square kilometres and 135,000 inhabitants, the island of Ibiza is far smaller than her big sisters Majorca and Menorca, but is often seen as the "coolest" of the four Balearic Islands. The very name Ibiza stands for lifestyle, music and luxury. The island is the birthplace of legendary discotheques such as the Ushuaïa, Hi and Pacha, while DJ greats like David Guetta and Guru Josh began their international careers here. For many people, Ibiza is simply "the best party in the world". Numerous A-listers have made the island one of their favourite holiday destinations. There's no doubt about it: If you are looking for something special, novel styles, new musical genres or avant garde art, then Ibiza is the place for you.

The landscape is not as mountainous as Majorca, but instead offers extensive views of rolling farmland dotted with the island's characteristic, white-plastered farmhouses, which catch the bright sunlight like white dice scattered over the soft hills. The cubist form and flat roofs of the typical Ibizan farmhouse are said to have inspired architects from the Bauhaus school. They are reproduced across the island in the form of modern, highly luxurious constructions. This is another side to Ibiza: Beautiful and contemporary luxury properties with fantastic views and exciting design features. Another hallmark of the landscape are the numerous fortified churches, which are some of the most popular attractions on the island.

Ibiza Town itself is the pulsating heart of the island, complete with its UNESCO-protected old town of Dalt Vila. It's well worth strolling through the narrow cobbled streets of the old town, as the battlements of the fort offer a fantastic view of the harbour. The streets are also full of restaurants tempting diners with their regional specialities. The whole cuisine of the island is a definite draw, with the star-rated s’Ametller in Ibiza Town one of the island's highlights.

Ibiza is a unique place that offers nightlife, tranquillity and plenty of secluded fincas and villas. No wonder that the island is extremely popular with top celebrities from all over the world.

Just one hour away by boat is the neighbouring island of Formentera, which together with Ibiza and some smaller rocky islets, form the Pityuses or Pine Islands. With its wonderful Caribbean-style beaches, natural paradise and minimal traffic and infrastructure, Formentera is the perfect place to switch off and enjoy life.
