The Magnificent Ibiza

Ibiza is a very popular destination for people who loves to soak under the sun, watch the beautiful sunset, enjoy hard kicking drinks, hot rich girls and of course the extreme nightlife madness!

Known as the perfect summer destination for teenagers who loves to spend hundreds of pounds,

Ibiza is not the place to get big bargains. Tourists can get discounts but not as much as from other destinations. If you are travelling with your family or friends, organized tourist operators could be the best choice. But if you are willing to go around the island searching for some place to stay, Ibiza also have affordable beach bungalows or holiday apartments that you can choose from in keeping with your holiday budget.

The island is two hours away from the airport via taxi or hiring a private transport. I suggest you guys to go for car rental services which will be truly handy if you plan to stay for a couple of weeks. But then its up to you if you choose to explore the place by walking around rather than driving a car. However, hiring a car requires extra driving care, as the locals are terrible drivers. Many tourists have been run off the road trying to avoid deadly head-on collisions. New road construction has led to the temporary development of detour roads which are poorly marked and dangerous. During the summer months many tourist drivers under the influence of alcohol, pose a potential threat.

Most people come to Ibiza because of its magnificent resort and energetic nightlife. But just in case you are the type that likes to explore and discover, I suggest that you go for a stroll around the west coast where you can find the mystical island rock called Es Vedra. If you're lucky to find a local to show the secret location of the hidden cove, you will see the splendor of Atlantis or the old part of the Ibiza town. The Bar Anita in San Carlos, is also worth to visit. It contains a rich history of artists and writers of the 50s, 60s and 70s. It is where they used to collect their cheques and stop for a drink. If you plan on a sight seeing trip you should try hiring someone who knows all the best places in Ibiza.

Ibiza is also popular because of its spicy and exotic Spanish food served in the most romantic and stylish restaurants in the island. The food are prepared by either master Spanish chefs or International chefs who are eager to spoil your senses. You can either enjoy a beach side breakfast or dine in for an exquisite dinner under the moonlight.

I won't tell much about the nightlife in Ibiza looks like. Instead I will display an unveiled Ibiza where you'll get acquainted with the pura vida Ibiza style - a wild and wet lifestyle of unrestrained emotion and all out fun. Regardless of age, tourist coming to Ibiza will enjoy the electricity of how the island turns into a one giant party place. If I have to describe the feeling to be there from 7pm - 4am, what I experienced is Magic!

The Best Night Clubs in the World - SocialiteTravel.com

Imagine the dilemma; a bank full of cash, a week away from that stressful office, a group of good mates and one huge decision. Where to go for that huge week of clubbing? Hopefully this should help you out as its aimed to be the definitive guide to the best clubs and locations across the globe.

The Big Apple is famous for a lot of things, shopping and sights predominantly but we don't always think of our trans-Atlantic cousins as having some of the best clubs in the world- but they do! New York has always been a great city for going out, whether you're after jazz, blues or soul. But it also has some great dance venues always playing host to big names. One of the newest ventures is 40/40, owned and operated by Jay-Z, with acres of cream leather, bright LCD screens adorning the walls and big names on the decks your sure to have a massive night hanging with the NYC celebs. But if that doesn't sound quite glam enough then maybe you should head to Bungalow 8, in a chopper! It really is the only way to arrive!

For something quite different, why not head off in the opposite direction? Why go West when you could be going East? Bangkok; hot, humid and hedonistic. The perfect combination for some great nights. Nothing is frowned upon here and anything really does go. Bed Supperclub is the trendiest haunt right now with an incredible structure and glitzy interior. Big name DJ's grace the decks most nights and Tuesday night plays host to the infamous hip-hop nights. But for something truly different, and why not when you've come so far, how about checking out an infamous GoGo bar? Fabulous costumes, scantily clad women and a few lady-boys make for a memorable night for the most hardened clubber. One Night in Bangkok may have been the name of a famous song, but one night really isn't enough!

But when it comes to clubbing, one place has it all. Attracting over 4 million visitors a year from all over the globe, there is only one place that can claim the clubbing crown; Ibiza. Sun, sea, sand and sangria combine in ridiculous quantities to make Ibiza one of the most energetic of all clubbing resorts. Huge clubs and a season packed out with all the biggest names on the planet mean Ibiza just can't be beaten right now! Head to El Divino for the glitz, Space for the sounds and Pacha because it's the original, and many would say the best!

While in the Baleric islands why not go for a bit of island hopping and sample the nightlife in neighbouring Formentara or Menorca. With the same climate and easy going attitude to nightlife as Ibiza these islands also make great, albeit more low key clubbing destinations.

While in that part of the world the south coast of Spain and Portugal are popular tourist traps for club holidays. In peak season resorts like Benidorm and Albuferia are packed havens for clubbing tourists.

5 Best Party Beaches - SocialiteTravel.com

The idea of partying on the beach is universally appealing, conjuring up images of dancing from sunset to sunrise on golden sands, with bonfires, great music, crashing waves and cocktails in the mix.

From Ibiza to Miami, there are as many types of beach parties as there are party-people looking for a good time. From down and dirty dancing to celebrity-spotting socializing, read on for the 5 best party beaches in the world!

IBIZA, SPAIN The name Ibiza has been synonymous with the phrase ‘beach party' ever since the late ‘80's when the former hangout of hippies and flower-children, metamorphosized into the party capital of the world. Stars, celebs and models all love to get down at the clubs dotted around this picturesque Spanish isle. The Playa d'en Bossa Beach is the longest stretch of beach on the island with its bars and cafés. The far end of the beach (away from Ibiza Town) is calmer, with less people and house music. But for the definitive Ibiza beach party, head to Bora Bora, half way along d'en Bossa beach. Ibiza is also known as a gay-friendly beach party destination.

MYKONOS, GREECE With its welcoming locals and trendy beach bars oceanside, Mykonos is another great place to party on the sands. Head to Paradise Beach Bar, located right on the beach between the palm trees. Here the partying starts early – from 2 pm - and goes on till sunrise the following day. This breathtakingly beautiful island is another favourite destination of the world's fashionable party-set, so expect to enjoy celebrity-spotting while you dance the night away. Lots of places of historical and cultural interest, plus great tanning opportunities, mean you'll never be bored while waiting for the fun to begin.

SOUTH BEACH, MIAMI Where the beautiful people hang out - South Beach offers all the partying you'll ever need. Although not strictly speaking ON the beach, the numerous fabulous clubs sprinkled along this expensive coastline are so hot that they bring the beach atmosphere right inside. This is where the posh people party, but the good times only get under way from 11 pm, so strolling along the beach, dining out or having a drink in the earlier part of the evening is recommended to avoid arriving too early. Many top model agencies send scouts to South Beach – you never know who might spot you on one of the awesome dance floors. The beach itself is stunning, with white, baby-powder sands caressed by the Atlantic. Not only can you dine here during the day but when the sun goes down you can have fun at the beds on stilts at Nikki Beach.

BLOOMINGDALE AAN ZEE, HOLLAND This event-venue opened nearly 7 years ago as a beach party for Amsterdam locals. The club has grown to accommodate 2 400 revelers with both in- and out-of-door areas. The setting is one of the most aesthetic on the Netherlands coast. Bloomingdales is renowned for its all-day Sunday parties held regularly throughout the year. The music tends towards chilled, laid-back tunes, perfect for the beach-setting. Top DJ's are hosted regularly here.

CAMPS BAY, CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA The white sands of this beautiful beach are popular throughout summer with both locals and international visitors to the Mother City of Cape Town, South Africa. With bars, cafes and restaurants right along the Camps Bay strip there are always trendy and beautiful people spilling out of these venues on to the beach. While volley ball and tanning are popular by day, sundowners and impromptu beach parties are on from early evening to well past midnight. Enjoy music, fire-jugglers and drumming around the huge bonfires which are lit during the summer holiday season. So if sun, sand and sea make put you in the mood for some sexy partying - why leave the beach? Head for one of these 5 hot spots and the party need never end!

Ibiza Town - SocialiteTravel.com

In physical terms as well as in its atmosphere and adventure, IBIZA TOWN ( Ciutat d'Eivissa ) is easily the most attractive place on the island. Approach by sea and you'll get the full frontal effect of the old medieval walls rising like a natural extension of the rocky cliffs which protect the harbour. Within the walls, the ancient quarter is topped by a sturdy cathedral, whose illuminated, but often inaccurate, clock shines out across the harbour throughout the night.

Daylight hours are usually spent on the beaches at Ses Salines and Es Cavellet or the nearer (but not so nice) Figueretes. In summer, the streets are packed with people exploring the whitewashed, warren-like port area, where many of the fashionable boutiques stay open until 2am in summer, and stalls line the pavements, selling everything from jewellery and sarongs to Ibiza-mix CDs. Bars stay open until 4am or later, and afterwards the action moves to the clubs until daylight, and for the serious hedonists, there are yet more after-hours bar-clubs. As a break from the stress of sunbathing and the simple pleasures of wandering the streets, there are a couple of modest museums and fancy modern art galleries with prices that will amaze you even if the displays don't.
