Oakie's guide to Ibiza
IF there's one man who knows the island like the back of his hand it's DJ Paul Oakenfold.
The man credited with 'discovering' the island and turning it into the world's clubbing capital told us: "I love Ibiza because it has so much to offer.
"It’s not just the bars and clubs – which are fantastic – there are beaches, villas and scenery and they are breathtaking.
"With the chill-out and party places there really is something for everyone."
Paul's most famous for taking his place at the decks but he's also the name behind the Big Brother theme tune and various movie soundtracks including Shrek 2 and Collateral.
Below he brings you his personal selection of the best secrets of Ibiza.
He added: "I've been coming to the island since the late 1980s, so I've seen it develop into something quite special, it's matured into an extraordinary place, that has often been misrepresented.
"But if you scratch the surface and take the time to look you'll be amazed at what you discover.
"This selection is my personal opinion – but I hope it will point you in the right direction to discover you own special places!"
