Ibiza, often called the White Island for its typical architecture,
became a major center of touristical attraction during the 1960s, being then
famous for its "Hippie-Culture" and nudist beaches.
Today Ibiza has an ample offer as well for families and older visitors,
anyhow, still there are the young ones who are attracted by the island's
rollicking nightlife, which already starts in the afternoon, at the beaches and
in the center of town, to continue until dawn in the numerous discotheques.
If you leave the beaches behind you, to explore the island's interior,
you will find a pure and simple Mediterranean culture, and remains of
populations which inhabited Ibiza thousands of years ago.

Some locations...
Walking down the beach towards Sa
Trinxa along the romping dunes and bushes, the early morning wind stabs me.
Hunching over, I wish for a small fragment of sunlight (…)Moorish sounds float
in the distance intermixed with trance music and bongos... the noises are
exotic and bring distant mystery over the landscape... perfumes of incense, and
scenes of magic worlds mix with real fantasies, it's like entering inside
someone else's mind...

FORMENTERA
The beaches of Formentera are the island's main attraction...the beautiful white sandy beaches and clear turquoise seas are the things holiday dreams are made of. All the beaches on Formentera are natural and almost always set within an unspoiled landscape.
Cala Saona
This small beach, despite its limited size (it is hardly 140m long) is one of the most beautiful you can visit. Its characteristic tranquillity and beauty make this cove a place not to be missed for tourists.

It is surrounded, of course, by restaurants and bars, where
you can eat or cool down with a drink while you enjoy the marvellous views it
offers of the nearby island of Ibiza or, without going so far, the coast of Punta
Pedrera or the lovely Punta Rasa cliffs, which can easily be accessed on foot
as they are hardly 10 minutes from the beach
Playa Illetes
White sand stretching as far as the eye can see, and incredibly clear azure waters both contribute to that Caribbean feeling the island is famous for. This beach attracts a real mixture of people; daytrippers from Ibiza, the rich and famous stopping by in their expensive yachts and locals topping up their tan at the weekend. In the height of summer Playa Illetes is perhaps the busiest of all Formentera's beaches, due to its close proximity to the port.
