Ibiza may be best known as the home of dance music, drawing thousands of ravers from across Europe to its world-leading nightclubs every summer, but the Balearic Island has a lot more to offer visitors who are interested in an insightful or relaxing holiday experience.
Anyone heading to Ibiza who isn't interested in clubbing will quickly learn to avoid the nightlife hotspots such as Ibiza Town; fortunately there are many excellent destinations around the coast and further inland that provide a haven of tranquillity away from the busy capital.
One particularly scenic choice is Sant Joan de Labritja in the north of Ibiza, where visitors can explore the island's unspoilt natural beauty and discover the local culture of Ibicenco residents. Visiting areas of Ibiza where local customs still go strong offers a more authentic visitor experience than the glitz of the more developed towns. Discover why Ibiza earned the nickname of the White Island by seeing the famous whitewashed houses of its rural areas.
Ibiza's diverse terrain of verdant hills, white beaches and rocky cliffs also make it a top destination for active breaks in the sunny Mediterranean climate, with rambling being an effective way to discover the many fascinating ruins and architectural treasures of Ibiza. Amidst the island's pine forests lie historic towers and churches that are best discovered on foot, some of which you might not even find in traditional guidebooks.
Ibiza's beaches are popular with adventure-seekers too, hosting all manner of water sports in the clear waters of the western Mediterranean. The island also draws visitors with its impressive golf courses, go-cart tracks and bike courses, for those who are hoping to get more out of their holiday than just sunbathing.
It's easy to get around Ibiza thanks to the island's well developed public transport system, with regular bus services between Ibiza Airport and the major towns. Even if you accomplish the impossible and feel like you've seen all the sights of Ibiza during your stay, it's just as convenient to jump on a ferry to the nearby island paradise of Formentera.
If you're heading to Ibiza to seek out the island's cultural attractions off the beaten track, it's a good idea to arrange your flights to Ibiza outside of the peak month of August. Ibiza in the autumn is still a warm and welcoming landscape, and you'll be able to enjoy its unspoilt serenity.
