Why Ibiza is the best party getaway in Europe?

For young people, a vacation in Ibiza, Spain is definitely one heck of a lifetime experience one will never ever forget and would continue cherishing even to the days of one’s grandchildren.

Ibiza, Spain is actually one of the Balearic Islands splashed in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of that country, anamed a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Therefore, it is not located in the European mainland but is an island destination for tourists. It is where British expatriates flock during the summer because an Ibiza vacation is as close as getting the tropics without leaving Europe. Temperatures here can rise up to 32 degrees Celsius during the summer. Some Europeans have dreamed going to the tropics but cannot withstand the humidity there. That’s why an Ibiza vacation is always an alternative.

Ibiza is also home to the premier house and techno music in the world. High end DJs are born and trained here and are spread throughout the world to expand their craft. The latest house music is interspersed with Spanish rhythms.

An ideal Ibiza hotel to stay are the economical ones hugging the shoreline for two reasons – you can save on hotel stays and spend your money partying; and the closer you are to the beaches, the closer you are to a very wonderful place to party. But if you really can afford it and don’t want rowdy crowds, then hit a five star Ibiza hotel. A typical five star hotel in Ibiza has a fantastic view of the Mediterranean. It has more than 200 rooms and all of them have either a balcony or a terrace.

One unique nice thing about Spain is that all of its hotels are "special needs" friendly. In fact, they even have babysitting rooms. Ibiza is certainly not an exception. And Ibiza has a hotel with a feature that even the ones in Madrid can’t offer: a digital safe in each room. Hotels in Madrid do have safes in all rooms but they still use mechanical locks.

With Ibiza being a much developed holiday destination, you can rely on your hotel being top class and a place to enjoy, not just for sleep. It is not unusual to find you have internet connection in your hotel room as standard – allowing you to contact friends, do some work, book your next holiday or play some games (a little is relaxation always necessary before a big night out in Ibiza’s clubs and after spending the day sight seeing!). Why not theme your games? A very typical Spanish activity is playing cards – you will often see bars full of friends all there to play (and win!). The juegos de casino found online can provide you with a taster of this – a fun way to have a little break in the cool of your room and away from the midday Spanish sun! Furthermore, the element of competition will give you something to talk about when you meet friends for tapas in the evening and you might even win some money – for another Ibiza trip maybe?

Restaurant food is excellent in Ibiza, it consists in grilled cuttle fish, grilled squid, grilled prawns, oiled crayfish, grilled pork, chicken wings, breaded fish cake, codfish balls in butter and Spanish spicy sausage.

Five star hotels here also offer professional instructors for catamaran, canoe, water bike, boating, windsurfing and sailing. There are also several villas here for rent if you want to enjoy of a more private holiday. There are luxury villas too. A typical luxury villa in Ibiza can accommodate a maximum of 20 persons in ten bedrooms. There is a heated indoor pool, a professional recording studio, a billiards table, a lounge complete with a fireplace to be used in winter, an Arabian chill out tent, a Love nest for those who want intimacy and a barbecue area for each room.

An Ibiza beach is certainly one to watch out for. For naturists, there are two nudist beaches spread through the island. People can play volleyball, windsurfing, yachting, scuba diving, water skiing, kayaking, jet skiing and fishing in a typical nudist Ibiza beach. Ibiza also has dunes with many conifer trees as backdrop. The road going to some beaches are unpaved though and suitable for off road vehicles.

Everybody can enjoy of the delicious food served in stands, bars and restaurants near the beach, as black mussels, lamb shank with mint couscous, sea bass and blue fin tuna with mango, fresh cold cantaloupe with basil, fresh grilled vegetables salad, tomato salad with fresh mozzarella cheese with vinaigrette dressing, green salad with goat cheese and hazelnuts, marinated tuna, beef tenderloin with cheese, fresh tilapia with avocado, fresh salmon, smoked salmon with fresh green asparagus, cheese with fresh fruits, fresh cold trout marinated in extra virgin olive oil, sherry and vinaigrette, veal with stuffed banana peppers dipped in tomato sauce, grilled sea scallops in mango sauce, traditional Spanish ham fritters, Portuguese clams with cubed pork loins dipped in white wine, Spanish sausage with potatoes, sautéed jumbo shrimp and lamb breaded with couscus.

As you have seen, Ibiza is not only the best party getaway in Europe but also an extraordinary holiday destination to enjoy one of the best times of your life!

Once having enjoyed Ibiza why not look further a field at equally exciting destinations? Buzzing cities can meet all your party needs whilst tranquil beaches such as those of Santa Eulalia can be found throughout Northern Spain. By doing a little research, you’ll be able to find cheap accommodation and travel deals which mean more frequent holidays and furthermore, less worry about your holiday spends once there. Capital cities, despite being notoriously expensive also offer some of the best budget friendly deals. There are literally hundreds of London hostels available in the attraction centre, saving you commuting money and helping you to make the most of a weekend break. Spain is renowned for it’s cheap flights and in the lesser known European countries such as Bulgaria, you’ll be astonished at the economical pricing of food and drink – something that can really have an impact on your holiday’s budget. Like with the planning of your Ibiza trip, these holidays always work better with research – sites such as these are an ideal place to start!

However, after seeing Europe if you find that Spanish life is your favourite, why not consider an Andalucian trip? Base yourself in the city of the airport, Malaga, and you’ll limit transfer time, maximising time available to see the neighbouring cities – from Nerja to Granada, you’ll love them all! Invest in a cheap travel option (say driving with Malaga car hire) or train travel and as well as maximum holiday time, you’ll have maximum spends too!
