The Insider's Ibiza

Ibiza. Land of sunshine and parties. Without a doubt one of the most stylish and happening places on the planet – but it’s knowing exactly where to go and how to get in that will make or break your trip.

In other words, this is a destination where having the inside track is imperative. There’s a right way to do Ibiza, and we know that way…well. Read on for a quick glimpse into our Ibiza and a couple of cheeky tips.

If you want an ultra stylish and contemporary hotel, head straight for the Pacha. It’s the epitome of glamorous chic and in our minds the best place to stay on the island – hands down. State of the art technology is combined with effortless cool to make this the ultimate sanctuary after an intense night of partying as well as an incredible venue in its own right. And the superb location (directly opposite the legendary eponymous nightclub of course) puts the hotel right at the pulsing heart of Ibiza.

By night, you’re best off heading straight for the top. The partying is fairly constant but really gets going at 2am, so evenings are a slow, sumptuous and decidedly hedonistic affair. Our tip is to use an elite concierge service (if we gave you their names, they wouldn’t be elite now would they?) and you’ll soon be hobnobbing with all the other jet-setters in the VIP sections of all the best clubbing venues.

How do you spend your days? Well there’s no better way to experience the island’s spectacular beaches than aboard a private Sunseeker; head to Benirras Beach for the perfect setting for romantic sundowners. If you’re more retail inclined, browse the fantastic collection of luxury boutiques and even meet some of the local designers (we love wandering round Vara del Ray with a personal shopping guide).

Alternatively try Las Dalias market for a more boho vibe, with beautiful leather goods, embroidered cotton dresses and silk. Finish the day with a spot of indulgent pampering after a hard day’s shopping and you’ll be all ready to hit the party running.
