Getting around Ibiza If you’re not the reading kind of person, the novel was actually turned in to a film in 2001 starring lots of familiar faces including; Danny Dyer, Will Mellor and Davinia Taylor which you can watch here. For a taste of the local produce, head to the daily food markets in Ibiza Town and Santa Eularia and also those scattered throughout the villages. On Fridays in Sant Antoni de Portmany, you’ll find the local farmers’ market, while organic products and crafts are sold at Mercat de Forada on Saturdays in Santa Agnes de Corona. For such a tiny island (don’t forget, it’s 231 sq miles, that’s 6 times smaller than Majorca), it’s pretty incredible that throughout the summer each of its clubs bring in huge crowds day in, day out.

San Antonio: Another nightlife favourite, San Antonio is a good choice for the budget conscious party-goer with its wallet-friendly West End. But don’t worry, if you still want to sample the high life, there’s plenty of chic spots too, whether you hit the Sunset Strip, swanky beach clubs like Ocean Beach or well-known superclubs like Eden and Es Paradis. While party town San Antonio may not always receive the most favourable headlines, the west coast does a good trade in glamorous hotels, whether you want to join the party at Pikes Ibiza — where Freddie Mercury famously let his hair down — or retreat up into the hills for a more relaxed stay. The general rule of thumb is to simply wear whatever you feel comfortable in, so dress however you like! The clubs are well air-conditioned. You will see everything from jeans and trousers to shorts and t shirts.This book delves deep in to Ibiza’s extraordinary past and reads like a history of hedonism with stories of invasions, migrations, artists, conmen, drop outs and love-ins. And let’s not forget, we’re not just talking weekends. Ibiza is open every. Single. Day. From May until October each year, clubbers are literally spoilt for choice. The super clubs are like none other. The underground clubs are unique. The island never fails to amaze you how it can adapt, no matter long you’ve been going. While hiring a car is the easiest way to get around, there are cycle routes for all abilities and coastal walking trails that promise unexpected bays and glittering Mediterranean views almost at every turn. Hippy markets sell the artisan Ibiza lifestyle. Head to Las Dalias in the bohemian village of Sant Carles on Mondays or try the hippy market at Punta Arabi on Wednesdays — it’s been running since 1973.

Ibiza Town is another ideal base, where you can make the most of the buzzing restaurant and bar scene, then rest your weary head at the sleek hotels promising sea views and glamorous rooftops, such as Es Vivé. More into fresh air and Insta-worthy views? Dominating the centre of the island is Spain’s tallest peak, the beautiful Mount Teide. And don’t worry if you’re not much of a hiker, there’s a cable car taking you right to the volcano’s summit. Plus there are plenty more outdoor adventures to be had, like a day exploring the island’s answer to Machu Picchu at the hidden village of Masca. In Spain, the average time for dinner is around 10pm and the clubs don’t open until midnight. Do not turn up as soon as the doors open unless you want to be the only person on the dancefloor. You don’t want to be that person.Join the local-produce scene each morning at Ibiza Town’s lively 19th-century Mercat Vell, which bursts with just-baked bread, fresh flowers, Balearic cheeses, and other organic island-sourced treats. Most Ibizan towns host their own weekly farmers' markets; one of the most exciting happens on Sunday mornings in Sant Joan, with musicians and craft stalls also cramming into the whitewashed village square.

Along the coast is Santa Eulalia del Rio, a much more exclusive resort where the marina is lined with expensive yachts.

However, San Antonio Bay holidays are much quieter than other parts of the island; although access to the club scene is easy enough, if you want it. The resort tends to attract families and couples, looking to spend some quality downtime together away from the crowds and parties. Head down to the crescent-shaped beach and, towards the harbour, you’ll find an array of water sports on offer, from water-skiing, to splashing about on a banana boat! p>Renu Kashyap is a fashion stylist and editor whose chic and feminine aesthetic has made her a favorite with such magazines as Glamour Netherlands.

The majority of shops still close for siesta every day between 2pm and 5pm. Most shops will close all day on Sundays. Author bio The languorous, salt-washed pearl of an island strewn off Ibiza’s southern shores feels like the most blissful, barefoot, all-natural paradise in the Mediterranean. Caribbean-blue waves roll onto sparkling-white beaches, lighthouses loom on gold-tinged cliffs, and development has always been strictly controlled. The best way to savor Formentera’s go-slow beauty is to stay a few days and explore by bike or on foot, dropping in at sun-kissed Platja de Migjorn, delicious little Cala Saona, lively "capital" Sant Francesc Xavier, the shimmering (disused) salt pans, the wild Trucador Peninsula (within the Parc Natural de Ses Salines), and more. Ferries zip across from Ibiza Town to Formentera in around 30 minutes. Hit the hiking trailsParty animals: Join the non-stop celebrations in one of the world’s biggest clubbing capitals; expect superclubs hosting big-name DJs, glam pool parties at swanky beach venues and a strip of bars dedicated to sunset viewings. The cobbled streets in its walled Old Town, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, provide some shade from the Spanish sun.
