Ibiza Bohemia (Classics)

Product Information

Small animal lovers shouldn’t miss a trip to Cap Blanc Aquarium (San Antonio) for a chance to see the island’s native sea life. However, if you’re wanting to find out more about the island’s history and culture, Ibiza Town is just a short drive away in the opposite direction. Vendors peddling handmade crafts, jewelry, clothing, textiles, and artifacts line the beach every Wednesday from May through October. Ibiza's modest population is swallowed whole by the seven-million-odd tourists that arrive en masse each year, and nowhere does sunset chilling or boho-glam style quite like the White Isle. The general rule of thumb is to simply wear whatever you feel comfortable in, so dress however you like!

Or visit in spring and autumn and combine sunshine with the sleepy Ibicenco way of life that first attracted everyone to the island. The Purple Hotel - Gay Super Friendly features an outdoor pool and sun terrace in Sant Antoni De Portmany. Offering beautiful views and a swimming pool, its spacious, stylish suites all have private terraces or balconies.You can also cancel your tickets free of charge up to 24 hours before the party if you change your mind. Soul-soothing, hidden-away agroturismes are an Ibizan speciality – beautiful old farmhouses reimagined as inspiring rural hotels, fusing original beams and whitewashed walls with creative design and home-cooked meals fueled by their Balearic gardens.

Every week tourists and locals alike congregate to celebrate the setting sun to the sound of bongos. Scenery for days: A gorgeous backdrop’s the icing on the cake for an away-from-it-all holiday, and Tenerife hits the mark with its swoon-worthy beaches, dramatic lava fields and waterfalls. Es Puet is perfect for paddling and fishing, S’Estanyol is great for water sports and barbecues and Port des Torrent is the place to be for snorkelling – to name but a few. Facing the beachfront, Cala San Miguel The Club offers 5-star accommodations in Puerto de San Miguel and features a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, fitness center and garden. Caribbean-blue waves roll onto sparkling-white beaches, lighthouses loom on gold-tinged cliffs, and development has always been strictly controlled.And Ibiza’s original hippy market, founded in the 1970s, is still going strong at Punta Arabí on Wednesday evenings in season. Is Harry on the Boat is a cult novel written by Ibiza legend Colin Butts and is based on his amusing diaries as a holiday rep in Ibiza.

Each beach has its own distinct character, but they all have in common golden sands, crystal-clear waters and shady palm trees. This book delves deep in to Ibiza’s extraordinary past and reads like a history of hedonism with stories of invasions, migrations, artists, conmen, drop outs and love-ins. That rocky, sun-blessed coastline looks all the more spectacular from the water, particularly at sunset. In the east, Es Cana is home to Ibiza’s oldest and biggest hippy market, while the beach is perfect for little ones with its shallow waters and pedalos.

If you thought Ibiza’s dusty landscapes weren’t grape-growing territory, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the handful of outstanding wineries sprinkled around the northwest. The languorous, salt-washed pearl of an island strewn off Ibiza’s southern shores feels like the most blissful, barefoot, all-natural paradise in the Mediterranean. Right at the centre of the action, with iconic hotels like the Hard Rock as its backdrop and exclusive restaurants lining the sand, it’s your go-to for barefoot dancing. All across the island, creative plant-fired kitchens like popular Passion (in Ibiza Town and Santa Eulària), raw-focused Wild Beets (Santa Gertrudis), and chic Giri Café (Sant Joan) are a vegan-and-vegetarian dream. From lonely lighthouses and centuries-old watchtowers to gloriously remote coves, Ibiza’s coastline is a delight for hikers.

For some, Ibiza is the island of excess, with world-beating nightclubs, stylish beach clubs and lashings of luxury.Several pioneering projects are paving the way for a more sustainable lifestyle and tourism industry in Ibiza, including the 1993-founded Casita Verde ecology center, which showcases sustainable-living and permaculture techniques; you can visit by pre-booking a guided tour. Jump in at organic-fired Can Rich near Sant Antoni, which also produces olive oil, and respected Ibizkus outside Santa Gertrudis, where the focus is on recuperating old monastrell vines. As Ibiza’s third largest town, families tend to favour this tame resort for its great choice of accommodation. Boasting over 200 illustrations and nostalgic photos this is a perfect book for anyone who holds a special place in their heart for Ibiza.
