Contrasts of Ibiza

Ibiza is synonymous with
sun, sea, sangria and so much more, and whilst it is often the hedonistic
reputation which makes the headlines, it is an Island with so much more
to offer for all types of people. Since the 1960’s tourism has exploded
in Ibiza and it is easy to see why when you consider 300+ days of sun each
year, UNESCO World Heritage sites, stunning coastline and the typical Balearic
laid-back attitude. Ibiza’s holiday resorts vary greatly and to illustrate
this I have chosen the (in) famous San Antonio and the eastern town of
Santa Eulalia:
San Antonio
San Antonio is seen by many
as the party capital of Europe, with lively sunsets by Cafe del Mar setting
the scene for long nights in the numerous bars and clubs of the West End.
There is no doubt this is Ibiza’s liveliest and most popular resort, but
the common misconception is that it is suitable solely for those aged 18-30.
Hotels in San Antonio, Ibiza vary as much as those people who visit the
area; with everything from budget, hostel style accommodation, to 5-star
all-inclusive hotel complexes aimed at families. Whilst the youthful crowd
make certain areas of San Antonio avoidable for families, others, such
as San Antonio Bay, offer quieter nightlife with entertainment for all
ages and add to this the beautiful palm-lined promenade and stretches of
sandy beach the result is a perfect holiday destination. |

Santa Eulalia
The 3rd largest of Ibiza’s towns,
Santa Eulalia is a popular destination for families thanks to a tranquil
atmosphere, amazing beach and great choice of restaurants and bars. Hotels
in Santa Eulalia, Ibiza are tailored around the towns usual clientele
with swimming pools, kids entertainment and the expected amenities all
standard. Exploring the town on foot is a wonderfully pleasant experience
with art galleries, interesting shops and local cafes tempting you in with
their gastronomic delights. With the convenience of being only 13 miles
from the international airport Santa Eulalia could not be more tailor made
for the family holiday maker.
Vary rarely does the phrase
“something for everyone” live up to expectations, but with Ibiza you certainly
won’t be disappointed.
