It was once the bohemian hotspot of the 60’s, before becoming a mecca for 90’s house music and raving. Now the island is a melting pot of exceptional nightlife, fine dining, luxurious accommodation and staggeringly beautiful beaches. The illustrious party island has and will always be a bucket-list destination. Read on to discover the top places to stay in Ibiza this summer… 

WHAT TO DO

Playa d’en Bossa and San Antonio are lively resorts, perfect for those looking to fill a week with wild partying.
