‘Ibiza’

It's not all Club 18-30 and vomiting oiks and ladettes. That tends to be concentrated in a few places. But Ibiza is best visited on a charter yacht. There isn't a lot to see ashore except the main town, but offshore rocky islets are good for a day's snorkeling in incredibly clear waters. The Med be largely devoid of larger fish but I did see one here that must have been two feet long, the only fish over 6" that I have ever seen while snorkeling in the Med.

‘Ibiza, Biodiversity and Culture’

'Ibiza provides an excellent example of the interaction between the marine and coastal ecosystems. The dense prairies of oceanic Posidonia (seagrass), an important endemic species found only in the Mediterranean basin, contain and support a diversity of marine life. Ibiza preserves considerable evidence of its long history. The archaeological sites at Sa Caleta (settlement) and Puig des Molins (necropolis) testify to the important role played by the island in the Mediterranean economy in protohistory, particularly during the Phoenician-Carthaginian period. The fortified Upper Town (Alta Vila) is an outstanding example of Renaissance military architecture; it had a profound influence on the development of fortifications in the Spanish settlements of the New World.'

‘36 Hours in Ibiza, Spain’

When Ibiza's club season comes to a euphoric finale, this Spanish island eases back into its Mediterranean groove. Whether it's hibernating in yoga retreats, trekking through Unesco World Heritage sites or lounging by turquoise blue water and white-sand beaches, Ibiza offers plenty of laid-back after-party spots.
