ates you were there:
6-12th may
Where you stayed: Azuline Bergantin, San An
Club nights visited:
Glitterbox opening
Best night:
Glitterbox opening was my only club night this time as I was solo. Was rammed, but enjoyed Julie Mcknight live PA and the vibe in general.
Worst night:
None personally as I only went to one club night.
Best bar:
I spent a lot of afternoons at reggae beach playa pinet so going to say reggae beach. Not the cheapest but the drinks are very good as are the staff, always great.
I also like the Boozer down the West End, as John and his wife have always been very nice to me over the many years I have been frequenting their establishment.
Cafe Mambo for the pre parties is always amazing.
Best place to eat:
Somehwere I never see mentioned but the food is lovely and affordable. Freedom resteraunte Playa Pinet. Had many long lunches here over the years. Can highly recommend the Dorada. Gets busy with locals at the weekends.
Best beach and/or beach club:
Cala Comte was a lovely morning out.
Money spent:
1200 euros - I ate in the hotel a couple of times as I was all inclusive, but generally ate out every afternoon.
Don't think I had dinner once as I am more of a lunch, then drink all afternoon on the beach, shower, then out again kind of person.
Just needed a break and had the coin, life is for living after all.
Biggest regret:
Not hiring a car.
I also don't think I will go solo again. it was my second time doing it, and although I had a great time, Its always nice to have somebody to help egg you on when the energy levels get low. Thats the problem when all of your mates have kids and commitments etc!
Going back?:
100%. I dont think I will ever not visit Ibiza. Very lucky to have been visiting on family holidays since I was around 8, to Es Cana, Santa Eularia. I am now 31 and cannot count how many times I have been. I have family in Cyprus and could have stayed there for free, but its nothing like Ibiza, cannot compare. so went for it, again!
Hopefully back end of September time, if not I think a winter visit is in order.
Top tip:
Treasure every moment, take lots of photos, dont litter, dont be a knob.
Will leave other tips to the professionals, just enjoy yourselves.
Oh and buy your tickets from Ibiza Spotlight, obviously!
Observations and/or conclusion:
As we have all seen for many years, Ibiza is changing. I fear that the budget brit tourist such as myself will soon be priced out of holidays here.
With thats said, its Ibiza so I will always find a way to make it work. I found the Island was really busy even though it was very early season.
I personally enjoyed every minute of it, even when I was the only person on the beach in the rain one morning!
Ibiza holds a very special place in many of our hearts, like many of you already do, the long term plan is try and move over, maybe won't be for 10-15 years, but it will happen one day.
Enjoy your holidays everyone and as I say, make the most of it. Memories are everything.
