The island of Ibiza is one of the most beautiful of the Balearic Islands. The coastline has some lovely beaches and coves, perfect for swimming and sunbathing. Ibiza has been a favourite destination for holidaymakers from all over Europe for many years. Since the hippy invasion of the late sixties, Ibiza has become a mainstream tourist destination. There are tranquil as well as lively resorts, the biggest resort is the non stop clubber's paradise San Antonio, which is home to some of the biggest venues in Europe. Many feature spectacular light shows and top DJ's from around the world. Another lively destination is the chic capital Ibiza town, which has gained a reputation for its extravagant night life.
