Taken from a review I read somewhere........
It's one of the wildest islands on Earth, a place where daytime beach activities are only a prelude to an all-night party that often lasts clear through to the next beach day.
Ibiza is like a sister island to Mykonos in Greece: wild, uninhibited and clothing-optional.
First inhabited in the 60s as a hangout for hippies, Ibiza maintains its counterculture personality today, though in a thoroughly modern way. Oh, the hippies are still here, but they are overshadowed by a cutting-edge club crowd that comes dressed for the accession. Even if that dress barely conceals a thing and who is wearing the dress is often not distinguishable by the individual's sex.
Most people arrive at the airport, although boats also serve the island. Bus, taxi or, during daytime, beach-hopping, boats provide island transportation. For nightclubbing, there is a "disco bus" that run for 23 hours clubs also refund taxi fare for three or more partiers. With this kind of service, it's no wonder Ibiza is a reveler's delight.
Ibiza is a fairly small island yet somehow manages to contain 15 towns. Party tourists need only to concern themselves with one two: Ibiza Town and San Antonio. (PDB maybe?)
Ibiza Town contains most of the bars and clubs , making it a convenient place to stay. It is also dotted with quaint shops and inexpensive restaurants.
San Antonio is the island's sunset spot and is popular among Germans, Swedes and especially Brits. In fact, there are more British people here in the summer than at any spot outside of London. When MTV comes to Ibiza, it parks it in San Antonio.
Being an island splashed in sunshine, Ibiza has plenty of sand spots to enjoy. The most popular are Playa d'en Bosa, just south of the main town, and Las Salinas. (What about the other 50 beaches?)
Playa d'en Bosa stretches, it seems, to Gibraltar . It is lined with some 50 bars , including the popular Bora Bora. The beach is right under the flight path for the airport, which the bars counter by cranking up the music to nighttime noise levels.
Las Salinas is the place to avoid tan lines. People lay out topless or go totally nude. (Obviously no-where else then?)
For those just looking for a sandy place to crash, Ibiza Town's playa is Figueras (Figueretas isn't it?). It's small, though, and fills up quickly.
The beach scene ends at around 7. But this is Ibiza, and the party is just beginning. Kenya Bar in San Antonio is the post-sandspot to seek. It is wildly popular, due in large part to its music, which combines a rich and hip passionate tropical sound with a cool European trans-mix (some new kind of trance?) beat. Kenya Bar has a pool overlooking the ocean where some women prefer to remain topless (really). It's also a great place to catch up with friends lost during the day or to meet up with that special someone with whom one might have been socializing earlier.
A lot of young people, mainly Europeans, frequent Ibiza for the nocturnal nightlife (doesn't night mean nocturnal?). Some of the world's most famous clubs are located here. Finding them is not a problem. Representatives of the clubs are everywhere, passing out flyers at the beach and on the streets.
The club-goers are just as legendary. Ibiza has cool dressers, cross-dressers, hipsters, hopsters, even hippies, who have yet to give up their turf first established some 40 years in the past. Walking down the streets of Ibiza, one is struck by the thought that someone forgot to tell these people it's not Halloween or Mardi Gras. Then again, maybe Ibiza is just an off-season combination of both.
Those on a budget be warned. Ibiza can rip through one's wallet faster than a tequila shot hits the bloodstream. Plan on spending $ 35 -65 USD per club just to get inside.
The most famous club is often the last one visited during a night. Nearly every die-hard partier has fantasized over video of the foam party. Well, it happens at Amnesia. The event is called 'Espuma' - which is Spanish for foam party. The foam can reach as high as six feet and patrons do get drenched. Dress accordingly.
In addition this early-morning non-sponge bath, Amnesia has world famous DJs, such as Paul Van Dyk , Sasha & Digweed & Seb Fontaine . Occasionally, Boy George acts as resident DJ . Amnesia has theme nights, such as "God's Kitchen." Amnesia plays the latest mix of house and trans (means trance I think) music. It's located in the middle of the island, in San Rafael, to it's best to take a cab. (So what happened to the Disco Bus?)
Overlooking Ibiza Harbor, El Divino attracts a classy, sophisticated crowd. It plays the usual house and trans mix . Boy George is also a resident DJ here and there is a live sex act on a raised stage (not featuring him, fortunately).
Pancha in Ibiza Town brings all of Ibiza's groups together, from hippies to millionaires. They mingle among the 15 bars, one of which is an open-air garden patio overlooking the town. Well, okay, the millionaires hang out among themselves in the VIP area off the main room. Pancha is popular enough to be one of the island's few bars to stay open year-round.
Es Paradis is in the shape of a pyramid overlooking San Antonio Bay. It has no roof , nine bars and is full of serious clubbers.
Privilege's contribution to the Ibiza club scene is having the largest dance floor in the town. It also has a swimming pool in the center of the club for those not privy enough to hang in the exquisite and very private VIP section . This is where ******* Ibiza Correspondent ***** **** met the star from Beverly Hills 90210, Jason Priestly. (WOW!)
Privilege is famous for it's legendary 80s history. Formerly called KU, it was frequented by jet-setting super models, celebrities, and rock stars. The club was forced to shut down (and re-opened in the late 90s) amid rumors of drug trafficking and Mafia connections.
