Holidays on a Shoe String – Ibiza

If there is any holiday destination that young men and women all want to go to, there really is no doubting that it is Ibiza. To be honest who can blame them, I mean, I myself have been over twenty times in about 15 years.

That has just told you roughly how old I am now, and to be honest yes I am forcing myself to calm down a bit and start to act my true age, yet I am still going to be heading out there next year.

The main issue that stops some people from going to Ibiza is that they imagine it is an expensive holiday, and in all honesty it can be. Not so much the flights, as there are plenty of budget options, but the costs of the clubs, the accommodation etc.

It really doesn’t have to be that expensive though, the first time I went, I lived on a campsite. This wasn’t my preferred choice, it was just that the hotel my friend was staying at had some extra alert security so there was no way I was going to be sneaking into his room.

Let Me Give You Some Quick Fire Tips To Enjoying A Cheap Holiday To Ibiza:

• When To Fly Out – You will normally get the best deals on flights in either June or September especially if you book as early as possible. Additionally flights are always cheaper if you fly on either Tuesdays or Thursdays. You will also be able to pick up a cheap hotel in San Antonio for around £20 per night.

• Where To Kip – Depending on your budget you can get excellent deals, whether it is for a hotel, villa, apartment or campsite. For example, in August campsites usually go for around $4 per night, the three most popular campsites are in San Antonio, Cala Bassa and Es Canar.

Another tip is to try and find some last minute deals with people offering private holiday homes browse the internet and see what you can find. I once managed to get a booking for me and 12 of my friends a Villa for just £500 for a week’s stay.

• Cheap Grub – If your budget is tight, simply use supermarkets and spread the cost amongst your friends. You could easily eat pasta during the day and supply your own sandwiches during the day for as little as £20 a week each. If your budget allows for more, then there are some seriously nice restaurants in town.

• Getting Around – Don’t be ashamed to use buses, these are cheap and reliable (the UK could learn something here). If your destination is further afield, share a taxi with your friends to reduce the cost.

• Party Time – This is probably the most expensive part of the holiday, the bigger clubs here really are not cheap. This is most likely the reason why you have been scrimping on every other cost, simply so you can afford the clubs.

However, you do not even need to spend a fortune here; there are many free parties around the Island which even have some of the biggest DJ’s. An idea would be to keep an eye on Ibiza forums; this is where free parties will usually be advertised.

So as you can see a holiday to Ibiza doesn’t have to cost you an arm and a leg, there are ways to have a good time without spending the cash. For cheap flights Ibiza is one of those destinations that is right at the top of the list, so start saving for the clubs from the word go.
