Our Ibiza holidays expert, Cila Warncke, shares the wisdom of her experience and tells us all about what she couldn’t live without on a holiday to the party island.

For my first few holidays to Ibiza I used buses and taxis, both of which are inexpensive, readily available and reliable. Once I hired a car, however, there was no going back. Ibiza is just a dot on the map but its curvy coastline and dense, volcanic interior conceal untold delights you will only discover when you have your own wheels. Plus, the winding roads are simply a joy to drive.

Plan your 2012 holiday to Ibiza with this hassle free guide from Ibiza holidays expert Cila Warncke. She’s got the detail covered, so you can enjoy a Balearic holiday you’ll never forget.

Ibiza is like the Tardis – small but bursting with surprises. Its dozens of beaches are a natural draw for summer holiday makers who can choose from secluded inlets, sweeping white dunes or turquoise coves surrounded by craggy hills. Ibiza also offers hiking, bird-watching, snorkelling, boating, horse riding, wine tasting and even rock-climbing.

Thanks to its cosmopolitan population Ibiza boasts a mix of food and drink ranging from seafood shacks to five-star bars; French cuisine to hole-in-the-wall pubs. And with sights to see such as the historic Dalt Vila, a UNESCO World Heritage site, to the pine-clad hills of Sant Joan, Ibiza is an island for all seasons.

Our Ibiza holidays’ expert, Cila Warncke, has scoured the web for the inside information on the best beaches and sights that Ibiza has to offer. So sit back, relax – we’ve done the hard work so you don’t have to.

Ibiza’s nightlife may hog the headlines but in truth the clubs are the least part of what the island has to offer. Unlike many holiday destinations, Ibiza attracts loyal visitors who return year after year, a testimony to the variety of stunning historical and scenic attractions packed into the 40km-long island. With more than 60 beaches dotted along 200km of coastline it is a haven for sun-worshippers and water babies, and its mountainous interior is home to charming villages, ancient vineyards, numerous hiking and biking trails, and delightful agrotourismos – farms which have been converted into luxury accommodation. All this, plus a laid-back attitude, unforgettable sunsets and delicious food ensure that one visit is never enough.
