I found for some reason all I wanted to do in September was eat!! Must be getting old or something............
The question I have is, did they used to? I think the nightlife aspect introduced a lot of people to the island even though they no longer hit the clubs. But maybe those 3 out of 4 people never cared about the nightlife and really only came for the beaches.

Let me introduce you to Billy Whizz..Bit of a cliché that people who do stims don't eat. I'm on the md most nights, and have the occasional line, but I also eat well everyday.

Of course, a lot.yes I am sure there are people who now never hit the clubs nowadays but used to 10-20 years ago.

Which is understandable and has always happened. But the question is with the rising costs are the next generation visiting the island in enough numbers? Without new batches of young clubbers each summer the crowd just gets older together.
Between my wife and I, we usually average $10-15k

Algarve is definitely Golf central but Ibiza does still have 9 holes at Roca Lisa if you're really desperate for a quick round. Dalt Vila, The Phoenician remains of Sa Caleta and the Phoenician-Punic necropolis of Puig des Molins are UNESCO World Heritage site. There's other interesting historic sites about too if you go walking and have an interest.
Obviously those examples you give sell themselves to markets who are primarily interested in going on holiday for one specific activity or interest (in the case of Greece far less so in many tourist resort areas). If you want to play golf every day then chances are you're boarding a plane for Faro.
Thing about Ibiza is it has a bit of pretty much everything readily on offer on one island. So unless you especially want to go paragliding off a mountain or do a skydive, a group or family with diverse interests can likely all find things they want to do on offer. Alongside the tat, there's also a lot of hand-made jewellery, bespoke products and boutique clothes etc. along with many premium brands available to shoppers (to some extent). For those who like to shop, and there are many, there's a lot more boutiques to potter round than in many places.
Which ones the dad?

Should have put *most* families.
Anyway, just think that argument that families spend more than clubbers is a bit flawed.
just wondering how many people go there specifically to do say active sports, treks, dives etc when you could do that 10x more cheaply elsewhere? as for the holistic yoga side of things - does that appeal to serious yoga people (yogis?) or merely wealthy people buying into the top-end lifestyle kudos?
as in most nights you go out - or on normal nights too when you're at home watching Newsnight?
