3 days in Ibiza

I know, it's way too short. But it's better than nothing!

On the occasion of our wedding anniversary (40 years), we wanted to do a "little brake" in Ibiza, to mark the event, treat ourselves to a good restaurant and party.

Presentation:

Ibiza is an island located in the Mediterranean Sea, part of the archipelago of the Balearic Islands in Spain. Known for its vibrant nightlife, beautiful beaches and cosmopolitan vibe, Ibiza has become one of the world's most popular party and sightseeing destinations.

The island of Ibiza is famous for its clubs and discos, attracting thousands of partygoers from all over the world every year. Iconic venues such as Amnesia, Pacha, Privilege and Ushuaïa are part of Ibiza's lively nightlife scene, hosting some of the best DJs and world-class artists.

Besides its vibrant nightlife, Ibiza also offers a wide variety of beautiful beaches. From secluded coves to golden sandy beaches, the island has options for everyone. Among the most popular beaches are Playa d'en Bossa, Talamanca, Cala Comte, Cala Salada and Es Cavallet.

Apart from clubs and beaches, Ibiza also has a rich cultural and historical heritage. Ibiza's old town, known as Dalt Vila, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
