Ibiza is the summer special clubbing hotspot of the Balearic Islands and an unapologetic party playground that refuses to lower its spirits and play down its reckless appeal. The Ibiza Day Trip** ** G uide gives visitors super day trip ideas to explore the wild charm of this Spanish goodie bag.
Life is a Party
For mirroring the high-spirited appeal of Ibiza go beach-club hopping by hiring a private vehicle and sampling the party flavor of each destination. The trip will give you a good essence of the region’s penchant for having a beach-side blast without watching the time. Most clubs are located in San Antonio and the main Ibiza town section. Pacha and Space are two coveted spots that sport an infamously kitsch attitude. Ibiza is worth visiting in order to embrace the hippie persona.
Stunning Natural Beauty
To make the most of your Ibiza tour, take a day trip to Sant Joan Labritjain--an enjoyable drive that takes visitors through some of the most beautiful and lesser known beaches of the island. The naturally striking feature here is a raised coastline that offers splendid vistas of the serene Mediterranean--superb stuff. There are several isolated virginal beaches here that are inviting haunts for exploration and secret escapades. For a taste of the high-profile lifestyle of Ibiza take a trip to Santa Eulà ria del Riu, located on the southern tip of the island and watch the swanky villas with designer pools that are the summer abodes of the rich and famous of Spain. The towns of San Carlos and Port des Torrent are great ideas for a day trip to explore some gorgeous beaches that adorn them. For vibrant flea markets that epitomize the hippy culture of the tow, visit Punta Arabi and Las Dalias--famous for the colorful local attire and beach wear. This is a great place to bag super bargains. The locals are good conversationalists and will even sell their wares in a sing-song manner in keeping with the party spirit of the destination.
**History **
For those who swear by their exploratory streak, the Cova Santa Caves are a must visit for discovering a long forgotten rock enclosure on a horseback. Go biking, hiking or trail walking though the intimidating paths of the region and collect the ancient natural keepsakes that are sprinkled all over the land mass. For a stronger dose of history visit the 15 th century Puig D’Missa Fort to the east of the town and the Living Museum that traces Ibiza’s brush with cultural elegance that has faded into oblivion by its more aggressive contemporary wild image.
Ibiza is a heady mix of pulsating beats, throbbing activity and an audacious appeal on one end of the spectrum and serene, inactive bays that lie unassumingly on the other.
