'THE IBIZA SPECIAL EDITION'

London Circulation: 23,132

Ibiza is officially back on the map and we find out how to do it in style...


Crystal clear waters, quiet beaches, pine forests and exquisite seafood provide the backdrop to this wonderfully multi-faceted Mediterranean island. Ibiza has always been known as a hotbed of mega clubs, partygoers, fun and sun. But away from the busy resorts and the illicit lure and brashness of San Antonio is an island of hidden corners permeated with atmosphere, culture and history, with a rural interior of valleys, pine forests and olive and almond groves, all springing from red-ochre earth. The growth of agroturismos (boutique countryside hotels), spas and the existence of peaceful inland villas establish Ibiza firmly within the luxury sector, reiterating that Ibiza is on a mission to prove that it can cater, and cater luxuriously well, for the discerning tastes of high-end aficionados in travel. The history of Ibiza is a rich and plentiful one. The Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals and Moors have all been present on the island at one time or another, as well as pirates who also wanted their share of the island's wealth that came from the discovery of salt and ore, which made the island highly covetable. Ibiza was also considered holy, as no animal poisonous to man could survive on its soil. Thus, seafarers carried a handful of earth from the island in a pouch around their neck to ward off bad luck.
