EXOTIC DESTINATIONS
W
ell known as the clubbing capital of Europe, Ibiza also boasts incredible scenery and sexy, isolated beaches. Whether you want to party on or chill out, this exotic destination has all you could want and more. The place is swarmed every summer by a multinational force of party-going fun and sun seekers. Beachside discos, clubs, and bars ensure the place never sleeps. The clubbing season starts in mid-June when the opening parties bring the towns of San Antonio and Ibiza Town, the island’s capital, to life. The good times continue all day, all night, and well into the next morning hours, through late September. Unlike many other glittering resort communities, Ibiza Town is actually a living, breathing place with an interesting old quarter with ample interests for families and older visitors alike. The island effectively closes down through the winter, which is when people seeking something more tranquil and picturesque tend to visit. Keep in mind that although you’re on an island in the Medi- terranean, highs are only in the 60s November through April. Ibiza Town has several museums worth visiting — among them are the Archaeological Museum and the museum of the Necropolis del Puig des Molins. You’ll also find plenty of tourist shops and the luxurious Casino de Ibiza.
DINING
Ibiza offers a variety of culinary delights. The town centers tend to offer street food for hungry clubbers, but away from the main tourist districts, there are restaurants and cafés serving luscious food from all over the world, including traditional Spanish and Ibizan dishes. A favorite lunch spot is the quaint Cala Gracioneta, a beach restaurant in San Antonio, where you will likely hear live music while enjoying their famous paella or cuttlefish croquettes. A romantic dining experience under lights strung between the trees beckons at Aubergine by Atzaró. The restaurant features a farm to table menu with endless delicacies. For the best view of Dalt Vila at sunset, dine at Café Montesol at the Montesol Experimental boutique hotel. Enjoy a truly visual feast and the best wine selection on the island.
