Infamous for its hugely successful tourism industry, the Spanish island of Ibiza plays host to a number of unmissable attractions and entertainment hotspots.

1. Go Shopping at Las Delias Marketplace

With over 200 stalls to explore, the market at Las Delias takes place on Saturday afternoons between 10am-8pm and Monday nights from 8pm-1:30am. Selling a variety of unique items such as books, jewellery, antiques and paintings, the vibrant atmosphere of Las Delias is a must for those eager to immerse themselves in the heart of Spanish culture. After experiencing the delights the stalls have to offer, visitors are able to unwind at a number of the market’s outdoor restaurants and bars. If that doesn’t fully satiate your entertainment needs, after hours, Las Delias bursts into life with music from live bands in the concert hall, and Pascha DJ sets at Soul Bar.

2. Dine at Sa Capella Restaurant

Renowned for its breathtaking décor, Sa Capella is a dining experience like no other. Based in a sixteenth century church, this restaurant is perfect for those wanting to discover the architectural beauty of old-world Ibiza. Serving a traditional Mediterranean menu, Sa Capella is sophisticated and serene, with a magnificent stone hall and accompanying outdoor terrace for early diners to watch the sun go down.

3. Chill Out At Cala Xuclar

If you want to escape the inevitable overcrowding of many of Ibiza’s beach destinations, the secluded Cala Xuclar is a perfect getaway for those wanting a more tranquil atmosphere. Situated in the North-West of the island, the serene cove of Cala Xuclar may not have the extensive range of facilities the more popular beach destinations in Ibiza flaunt, but its authentic picturesque surroundings and highly-commended beach bar make this the perfect day out for those wanting to relax.

4. Pamper Yourself At The Atzaro Spa

If you’re thinking of adding a bit of high-class to your holiday, a day at the spa is a perfect way to unwind. Atzaro has a Far-Eastern theme, with treatment rooms designed like temples and a waterfall backdrop, creating a beautifully serene and relaxing environment. Run by a team of Balinese trained therapists who offer a wide range of different treatments, why not go ahead and treat yourself?

5. Go Clubbing At Space

The night-life scene in Ibiza is arguably one of the most talked about in the world, and if you’re looking to see what all the fuss is about, Space is the place to go. With a six-room layout playing electronic music from a range of famous DJs, you’d be foolish not to visit one of a handful of clubbing institutions that put this tiny Spanish island on the map.

These destinations alone make the island more than worth a visit, and with its glorious climate, unrivalled vibrant atmosphere and a range of stunning accommodation such as luxury villas, Ibiza is definitely the place to be this summer! Already been? Tell us what you recommend!
