Ibizaaaaaa!

This past weekend, two of my friends and I visited the popular and beautiful stopping ground for partiers from all over the world. This tiny island houses some of the most popular clubs in the world and is well known around the world as having the best club scene ever! But more than the parties, Ibiza has the most gorgeous beaches and vistas to offer and the weather is ALWAYS perfect.

I got very little sleep but the loss of sleep was worth it, even necessary in order to take advantage of the little time we had there. Below are places to see/visit while in Ibiza and a few tips for traveling there. Enjoy! : )



Places to Visit for the Avid Party-Goer

(1) Amnesia Nightclub
-This nightclub is huge, as most are in Ibiza, and is separated into two main areas where the atmospheres are quite different. Most of the clubs in Ibiza play house music or techno so it was definitely different from what I'm used to but fun nonetheless. The entrance fee for the ladies is a whopping 45 euro, so it's quite expensive. I suggest if you are a woman, flirting with the bouncer or "casually" meeting someone in line who looks like he may just pay for you. I'm partially joking but partially serious. Definitely do what seems safe but if you can, use your looks and the fact that you're a woman to your advantage. Trust me, it works more than you think ; ).

(2) Downtown San Antonio
-I'm not really one for hardcore partying, but if you by any chance are, Downtown San Antonio, well really ALL of Ibiza, has plenty of opportunities through which to engage in MUCHAS FIESTAS!


Places to Visit for The Beach Bum
(1) Pinet Beach, San Antonio de Portmany

(2) Formentera
-Formentera is an island just 30 minutes north of Ibiza by Ferry. It's gorgeous and much more tranquil than its lively neighboring island.

(3) San Antonio Harbour

(4) Ibiza Harbour

Places to Visit for The Daredevil
(1) San Antonio Harbour
-One part of the harbor is lined with watersports companies. I went parasailing and had a BLAST! It was amazing and very well priced.

Sa Flama Restaurant
This Authentic Mexican Restaurant is a hidden gem and is absolutely amazing! And the amount of food they give you for the price is incredible! Just take a look at these fotos...

Tips for Traveling in Ibiza
(1) Make sure you know what type of Experience you want BEFORE choosing your hotel
  • Ibiza is small but not THAT small, if you want a crazy party experience, be sure to stay in a hotel closer to IBIZA TOWN. If you stay in a hotel in SAN ANTONIO, for example, you will have to take at least a 20 min. cab ride to all of the best clubs...it adds up, trust me!
  • If you want a more chill experience that includes sun bathing, walking along the beach, eating at beachside restaurants, hotels away from IBIZA TOWN are a better option.
  • If you want an adventurous experience, filed with activities such as watersports and/or hiking, investigate which areas in Ibiza best fit your needs.
(2) Take full advantage of your days in Ibiza
  • Decide on the things you MUST do before leaving Ibiza and plan out your days accordingly.
(3) Get in good with the people that work there
  • There are many people in Ibiza that have the inside scoop on how to get into the clubs for much cheaper than usual. I suggest going to bars around IBIZA TOWN or SAN ANTONIO and asking about wristbands for discounted or even free entry.
  • Ask your cab drivers, people that work in the bars or in various shops around town about their favorite places to go and favorite beaches to visit. They are usually really open and glad to give you the best tips.

  1. Great suggestions, Kristen. The pics of the Mexican food hit a soft spot (I absolutely love it). Those plus the beaches make it easy to understand why people are lining up to visit Ibiza. Thanks for the informative post.
