Ibiza – More Than Just A Party!

Ibiza is one of the most well known party destinations around the world!
With world famous beach clubs, super clubs and the biggest names in music performing every night, many with residencies.
After 5 holidays it was safe to say I knew the island well, every party, venue and beach, you could ask me almost anything so when I decided to do a season it was a no brainer that I wanted to work for one of the biggest companies on the white isle, the Mambo Group. The infamous Cafe mambo on the Sunset strip being the most known establishment of the group, the site of Radio 1’s Big Weekend and celebrity DJs every night of the week before they head to the super clubs for their main stage late night sets.

The group also a have number of bars, restaurants and hotels. I was very lucky to be offered the role as Concierge in their brand new San Antonio Hotel, Sa Clau by Mambo in 2018. The stunning, modern hotel opened in May 2018 to customers and couldn’t have received better reviews, one of the most beautiful Hotels I have been in and the views over San Antonio were quite literally indescribable.

My job meant I needed to know everything that was happening on the island every week and every place to recommend for all types of guest. This meant that everything I thought I knew about the island was only a tiny amount as I found out. So now I am going to share over a few blog posts all of Ibiza that most people don’t know about!

Ibiza has so much to offer, especially when you consider how tiny the island is. You have that beautiful small island feeling while also having so much to see and do! With the short flight time from europe and upto 40 degree heat in the height of summer its a no brainer really for a summer holiday!
Out of season most of the island does close down and flights go down to the bare minimum, but if you would rather go when its cooler and a more chilled vibe then anytime in April or October would be perfect.
During April and October most clubs are closed while restaurants and some of the nicer bars remain open, especially in Ibiza town which is known for being the more beautiful, classier area of Ibiza. This means the crowd that are holidaying during April and October are often a more mature, chilled crowd that are there to enjoy the island and relax or they are the few folk who live there year round. Visiting during the off peak months also means much cheaper flights and hotels which is a bonus as in peak season (June-September) flights can go up to £300+ return from London. Which is ABSURD when you think about how far you are actually going.

Year round Ibiza has so much to offer to anyone, some of the most beautiful beaches and views in the world are on Ibiza, plus the world famous San Antonio Sunset!

As one example of something you may not know.
One of the main beauties of ibiza is Es Vedra. Es Vedra is reported as one of the most magnetic places on earth and the centre of many local myths! The huge towering rock has been depicted as the peak of Atlantis, the lost city, a base for aliens and the home of mermaids among just a few of the legends.

It’s good to know that there are places where you can get away from the noise and the crowds when you want to. After all, not everyone who visits will want to spend all their time being surrounded by people with loads of energy. Sometimes you just want somewhere like club 33 at disney world, where you can just go to relax and unwind without having to be around too many people. And Ibiza turns out to have plenty of those.

The stories surrounding Es Vedra are enough of a reason to visit alone. Being completely honest with you, every time I’ve visited the beach and been close to Es Vedra I have felt this kind of pull, like spiritually I felt calm and a magical vibe. Whether that’s just because it towers over you and makes you feel small, or maybe because you just feel like you are in the presence of something that has inspired so many legends, either way I feel so at peace when I have spent the day at the beach near Es Vedra.
The magical Es Vedra is a short drive from the most popular destinations to stay on the island, Ibiza Town, Playa den Bossa and San Antonio and offers incredible views, a gorgeous sandy beach and beautiful restaurant overlooking the ocean and Es Vedra, book a table here at sunset for a truly magical experience! PLUS closeby are cliffs and rocks which people often visit to look at what is believed to be leftover parts of Atlantis you can still see in the ocean!
