Unique Ibiza

Las Dalias is a must visit place of interest on the White Isle. Located close to San Carlos village towards the northeast of Ibiza is the hippy market that has become a bit of an institution on the island. It may be a bit of a cliche but this is more than just a market, with music, food and drink...it's more a way of life, and offers locals & visitors a chance to meander around the many stalls selling clothes, jewellery, art and general "nick-nacks" to help you celebrate and remember your time in Ibiza. You can also enjoy a massage or experience a Tarot reading Om Monday 4th June 2018 was the opening of the night market, so, if like me you prefer to be on the beach during the day or sitting in a restaurant enjoying some amazing sea food, then the night market is a great idea, and also Las Dalias by light just feels that much more romantic. And when you've had enough of walking around the stalls, make your way to one of the bars and enjoy some live music, ...

The Summer Solstice (longest day / shortest night) in Ibiza is, of course, a reason for celebration. The day, but mostly the night, is known as the fiesta of San Juan as well as Noche de San Juan (San Juan night) In 2017 the longest day is Friday 23 rd June In 2018 the longest day will be Thursday 21 st June Many towns & villages in Ibiza celebrate this night, including Santa Eulalia, Santa Gertrudis & San Juan. If you are in Ibiza then a great place to hear do is either Talamanca or Figueretas, the sandy bays on either side of Ibiza Town At sundown the locals light small bonfires on the beach (normally not allowed!) Music, fire, dancing, drinking & eating are the order of the day. If you plan on eating in a restaurant then we recommend booking early as restaurants get very busy as the locals come out to celebrate this day. Many restaurants run special events and menus. As with any Spanish fiesta there is always a great atmosphere.  In additio...

Walk from Santa Agnes to Ses Balandres Gorge   Ibiza is full of surprises... Hidden beaches & coves...unbelievably stunning landscapes…& views that a camera on a mobile phone cannot do justice to. This challenging walk is not very long but the scramble down the gorge of Ses Balandres is enough to get the heart pumping for even the most experienced and fittest of walkers. Start your walk in the village of Santa Agnes (the Catalan name is Santa Ines) which is one of the smallest villages in Ibiza with 2 restaurants & a church.  Head west along the road from the church and after less than 1 kilometer you see a brick structure with a white pyramid roof. Take a right here past some houses towards the forest and after about one kilometer you will get a glimpse of the sea through the trees. From here you have 2 options, head further along the path a few meters more to the cliff top for spectacular views (sunsets are amazing!), or for the fitter head down the g...

August 24 - Patron Saints Day In San Antonio  24 th August is Patron Saints Day and each year the celebrations start from as early as the 18 th August (well this is Ibiza where every day is a celebration) and continue until early September. The Patron Saint of San Antonio is St Bartholomew. This main celebrations on the 24 th August start early at 8:30am, at 10:30am is a foam & water party (sorry children only). In the early evening after Mass is a procession through the streets, including the firecrackers to warn off evil spirits. The day culminates in fireworks at midnight – head to the mina square opposite the marina for the best vantage point. You can also expect to see some traditional dancing, and music ranging from rock to reggae. The celebrations date back to 1235 when the kingdom of Aragon took control of the island and introduced Christianity. The villages responded by building churches and many villages were renamed after a saint (San Antonio, Santa Ger...

15th August - Public Holiday & Fiesta 15 th August is a national public holiday in Spain, so if course including Ibiza. Known as Fiesta de la Tierra (or Festes de la Terra in Catalan) you can expect a range of activities to be taking place including music, dancing & fireworks. This festival originated from the catholic celebration marking the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Nowadays the festival has left religious context and is a chance for most people in Ibiza to have a day off and for holidaymakers to also enjoy the festivities, centered mainly around Ibiza Town but with many villages & towns arranging their own activities. This day is also Cala Llonga saints day, so in this easy coast beach resort (located near Santa Eulalia) as the patron saint of Cala Llonga is the Virgin Mary. 

Ibiza Public Holidays (part one) - 5th August The public holiday in Ibiza on the 5 th August is celebrated every year and is known by a few names including: Santa Maria de las Nieves or Nuestra Senora de las Nieves (which translates as “Our Lady of the Snow”, which is interesting as there is not much snow in Ibiza!). Santa Maria is the Patron Saint of Ibiza.   The festivities continue until the 8 th August, although the main festivities are on the 5 th which culminates in a firework display. And the reason for this celebration? well it doesn’t take much to start a fiesta in Ibiza and the reason for this one is to commemorate August 8 th 1235 (that is the year not the 25 minutes to 1) when Ibiza was conquered by the Kingdom of Aragon, previously occupied by the Muslim leadership. The site of the cathedral in Ibiza Town (at the top of the Dalt Vila ) was once where a Muslim mosque stood nearly 800 years ago. Many activities in Ibiza Town are based around Parque Reina S...

Cala Escondida Cala Escondida is a tiny little sandy beach next to Cala Conta (which is also spelt Cala Compte) on the west coast of Ibiza . This clothing optional beach has incredible sunset views, particularly in the main summer months of July & August. There is a simple bar, called of course Bar Cala Escondida, that offers beer, wine, sangria & snacks and is an amazing (almost) secret place to get a frontline seat for the best show in town. The sea is great for snorkelling and just chilling out on this little known Ibiza beach. View the villas we have on the western side of Ibiza

Does anyone really think enough about families in Ibiza? Not all Ibiza villas are constructed with young families in mind,..not everyone wants marble floors and low level balconies But there are plenty of great villas with facilities to keep everyone happy, especially mum and dad. We also have villas that have a separate annexe or bungalow so you can invite the in-laws but keep them a little at arms length if you need to ! So what do today’s most demanding toddlers expect from their Ibiza villa            Fence around the swimming pool            Playground            Not too many steps outside            Ideally   a villa all on one level           Gardens with lawn so that falling over doesn’t mean grazed knees            BBQ for dad he can impress everyone with his culinary skills ...

Yes yes it’s the middle of summer and we know no one wants to be thinking about just winter yet, but whilst we know Ibiza is a very different place to stay in the winter months we ask you to give a few minutes thought to the idea Why come to Ibiza in the winter ? Ibiza is open..yes yes many places are closed, and you won’t catch many people lying on the beach. The only club that stays open in the winter is Pacha which is open on Friday & Saturday nights every weekend from November to April. Whilst many restaurants do close for the winter, many others stay open. And if you come to Ibiza in the winter you can get to discover the bits of the island that you just didn’t get round to doing, or that you quite frankly just couldn’t be bothered to do in the summer because it’s too hot, and when there is so much to do you feel like you are rushing from one amazing restaurants to another.. well imagine Ibiza without the crowds & without the cars on the road…when time slows...
