Halloween in Ibiza Halloween is a big event in Ibiza. Don’t think because the summer season is over, many of the hotels have closed and the tourists have departed that there is no life in the old dog !  Ibiza comes alive on Halloween with a number of parties taking place around the island… and with 1st November being a holiday to celebrate All Saints Day then this really is a chance for the locals and the seasonal summer works to really celebrate the official end to the season - the closing party to close all parties -  and to say one last goodbye to the summer before they hunker down for the winter, recharging the batteries and preparing to rev up again for next summer Some of the big Halloween events that took place in 2014 were: Bambuddha Restaurant (Bambuddha Grove) KE BOLA CUBA – Cuban restaurant Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza – party until 5am Pacha – open throughout the winter every Friday & Saturday, of course had a Halloween themed pa...

Finca Can Xuxu - a very unique boutique Ibiza hotel If you are looking for a different type of boutique Ibiza hotel then let us introduce you to Finca Can Xuxu. In fact less of a hotel more of a lifestyle choice. Finca Can Xuxu is the personal family home of Alexandre. An exclusive "non-members members" club located close to the west coast of Ibiza. What is on offer is a relaxed and friendly unique place to stay, the complete antidote to a sterile corporate hotel environment. The style is traditional Ibiza fused with more than a touch of Balinese influence, including some Balinese houses that have been imported from the Indonesian island. There are very few house rules, other than this is not a party hotel and is best suited to couples. Finca Can Xuxu is a popular choice for honeymooners. Sorry but children are not allowed. Groups of 3 rooms or more are not allowed as Alexandre does not want a small number of people to dominate the communal areas. Finca Can Xuxu is...

We’ve rented a car from just about every car hire Company on the island – and in most cases we have been very disappointed. The “multi nationals” such as Hertz, Europcar, Alamo & Avis are all “on Airport” with a desk in the arrivals hall…but picture the scene – the car rental office has 2 sides to their desk, one for customers picking up and one for customers dropping off... 2 queues, lots of hot and bothered customers, often only 1 member of staff and, unfortunately in our experience, a long wait. So the alternative could be a company that operates “off airport” … However our experience is one of waiting around for a courtesy shuttl...
