Once you try something and you really like it a lot, it is very difficult to not do it over and over again. That’s what happened to us during our first holidays in Ibiza.
Everything went so smoothly than even though we do try to change destinations each year we always save a few days to return to enjoy the island. It is our family time together for relaxing, having tons of fun and connecting with nature.
The island offers endless options for leisure and relax, and every year we try some new ones out without forgetting to repeat our favourite ones.
The most important thing for a top-notch holiday in Ibiza is to carefully choose where we are going to stay. Since we are very independent folk and we like to feel at home wherever we go, we usually stay in an apartment. Obviously an apartment with all the necessary facilities and, something of the utmost importance, a good terrace.
Do bear in mind that you have to be careful and choose a hotel or apartment with good references, otherwise you may find some nasty surprises.
Once you have your nest you only need to worry about how you want to discover, enjoy and make the most of the island.
One idea. First thing upon arrival, drop off your luggage in the apartment, put on some comfortable clothes and get yourself to a beach bar or terrace to have a cocktail. It is the best way to connect with the island and get into “holiday mode”. From the moment you take your last sip there’s no turning back: Your holidays in Ibiza have really started.
And depending on how you like to enjoy your free time, you have a thousand ways to have fun and leisure activities available.
If you like to sail and feel the sea on every pore of your skin, renting a boat for a few hours or a whole day is a great choice for a top-notch holiday. Getting to know the island from the sea is a unique experience as it totally changes the perspective, and there are some hidden nooks that are only accessible by sea.
Speaking of perspective, one of the most exciting things you can do as a family is flying over the island in a hot air balloon. Children really love the height and the landscapes, and adults possibly even more so. Suddenly you’re back to being a kid seeing everything with new eyes and discovering the island for the first time from another point of view.
And the best way to finish off your holidays is to give yourself a few hours just for you with a moment of total disconnection. Otherwise, they aren’t holidays.
My proposal, one that we repeat every year, is to spend an afternoon or a morning at a spa. Peace, quiet, relax, well-being… it gives you renewed energy and it makes the end of the holidays less hard.
If you’re still planning your holidays I hope I’ve given you some helpful ideas. Otherwise I’m sure you’ve enjoyed dreaming about your next holidays as much as I have.
