Ibiza is a small but very famous island in the Mediterranean Sea. The distance from one end of Ibiza to the other is only 45 kilometers, but how amazing they are: luxurious beaches, trendy clubs, luxury hotels, high mountains, rocky cliffs, picturesque valleys, and the best service ever.
The most popular resort in Ibiza is its capital called Ibiza or Eivissa. The city attracts visitors with beaches with fine yellow sand, a sea with gentle waves, and non-stop parties. All the most important and bright events take place on the central Eivissa beach called Playa d'en Bossa, so if you are coming here for relaxation and dancing all night long, you will not regret it.
The second most popular resort is San Antonio Abad. It is located on the seashore, 17 km from the capital. Here you will find great beaches, good hotels, slightly less luxurious, but no less vibrant parties, and, last but not least, lower prices.

Here you can sunbathe on the spacious sandy beaches, admire the yachts in the port, walk through the hills and forests, and if you want fun, the capital of Ibiza is half an hour away.
