One of the greatest benefits of living on a tiny island
like Ibiza, with over 80 beaches to choose from, is that you can select
the perfect beach for the moment. Be that a special occasion, putting
yourself around, or simply attaining that serene tranquility that
you seek..

Then to change your mind, seek an alternative,
and discover that wherever you are on Ibiza it is no more than half
an hour to your chosen alternative vibe, even if it's on the other side
of the island.
Wherever you are on Ibiza there will be
some days when the prevailing wind will offer waves - when you planned
a day of snorkelling, or a flat calm - the day after you polished your
surf board.
Occasionally you wake up and look out
to sea to find clouds spoiling your plans for the day on the beach,
but linger a while longer and you will suss the direction of the prevailing
wind, which creates the clouds by forcing the colder air upwards as
it reaches the land mass of the island. It soon becomes easy to work
out which beaches will still enjoy sunshine on the windward side whether
you fancy waves to play in, or a sheltered cove to enjoy snorkelling
with sunlight illuminating the seabed below?
Some days the skies are clear on your
local beach, but the incoming wind is creating surf when you really
fancied a lazy hour watching clouds vapourise from your lilo? Relax
in the knowledge that it's only 30 minutes to that new dream beach you
never checked out before - sometimes even less than ten minutes walk?
Enjoy:)
Ibiza's beaches offer so many different
options that we have been forced to extend this section to ??? pages
to even attempt to begin to pay homage to the amount of pleasure that
the multi-faceted beaches of Ibiza have given to ourselves and all of
our friends.
However, it has to be admitted that this is one of the nicest research
jobs on the planet? (Maybe soon we'll have every beach available to
view live on web cam to make things easier for you?)
Health Spa's, often referred to as 'Wellness Centres', are booming in popularity as people become more aware of the needs of their body and soul, and the pleasure to be derived from pampering and empowering themselves through their use. Spa Hotels
The Mediterranean is renowned for its good, fresh food. Here you have everything from traditional Ibicencan, Spanish, Thai, Italian, French, West Indian, Curries, Chinese - if you can eat you can find anything you want really....
If you would like to have a wedding ceremony (blessing) on Ibiza with the English speaking church you will need to contact them direct giving yourself/them plenty of advance notice. To have the marriage blessing in a church here you must give at least six months notice.
If you fancy go-karting, windsurfing maybe a trip with the kids to a waterpark. We've got bunjee rockets, sailing schools, watersports, golf, gyms, horse riding, tennis etc etc.
It's not all about the clubs, there are the fiestas which seem to happen every other day, the markets etc. Also included is a little potted history, maps, tourist offices, tips, churches etc
For those of you who like delayed trains, cramped tube trains and traffic jams - Ibiza doesn't have them (though the hippy market in Es Canar can get a tad busy) - here's how to get around when you are here.
Accommodation is a nightmare in the summer, but we've got hotel & hostel numbers, and a growing villa, hotel & rental section for those who don't want the usual package holiday.
If you are looking for that little bit more that little bit more exclusive experience to live and feel and indulge in an environment that exceeds even your greatest expectations of the Island of Ibiza.
