To be honest at the end of Ibiza 2018 I felt a bit flat about Ibiza, prices had gone up and up and generally felt like the mood had changed to fleece the tourists at every moment of the day.
That combined with an uninspired music scene (both the EDM scene and the more underground scene) the early Westend closing times and the Sankeys end of Bossa becoming rundown, left me questioning whether I wanted to return to essentially pay more for a weaker product. I'd also admit that now im in my 30s my ability to eat.sleep.rave.repeat has diminished, now need an off day after a heavy night!
A few weeks ago on Skysanner I spotted something mythical, something I didnt beleive existed a £40 Ryanair return flight! So booked a short stay in sleepy Sant Miguel and I've had a great time.
Drove around to places ive never been before: Benirras, Cala D'Hort, Cala D'Serra, Portinatx, Cala Comte and absolutely loving the scenery and vibe at this time of year on the island. Weather has of course been more inconsistent, with a chillier start to the day and a few clouds here and there, but has been great to sit and watch the world go by without feeling rushed like you do in summer.
For anyone feeling disolusioned with the island May (and September and October) are the way to go. Ill return in Summer one year, and cant deny id have done 1 big night out if the clubs were open this week, but feeling staying somewhere more remote even with the extra Taxi fares are the way to go.
Anyone else had a similar trip that brings the magic back?
