Think of Ibiza and you usually think of parties and clubbing. But Ibiza has much more to offer than that. Away from the livlier spots there's a gem waiting to be discovered. You will find there are a host of small village and holiday spots waiting to be discovered.

     With a selection of resorts dotted around a coastline of coves and sandy bays, lush pine forests and traditional white-washed villages, there will be a side of Ibiza to seduce everyone who goes there.

     True, when the sun goes down that is when the partying begins in San Antonio. Playa d'en Bossa has acres of clean, golden sand with the largest unbroken stretch of sand on Ibiza. Beach parties here are popular and with so much coastline, walks along the promenade can last hours. And tiny capital of Ibiza Town is a fascinating historic town in its own right and it attracts only those clubbers who do it with style. But away from the nightlife, there are some beautiful resorts.

San Antonio Bay holiday resort has a relaxed friendly atmosphere, perfect for strolling around, and a choice of half a dozen beautiful beaches. The quieter end of San Antonio is known as Cala de Bou. And set in a cove at the peaceful southern end of San Antonio Bay, Port d'es Torrent is an ideal escape from the livelier areas of San Antonio.The hippy market put Es Cana on the map but, when the Wednesday market is over, Es Cana retreats into its cozy shell again and becomes the sleepy family resort that attracts so many.

     The wonderful beach at Cala Llonga is superb and helps makes it a complete mini-resort nestling within strikingly beautiful pine clad hills and just a short drive or ferry ride from Santa Eulalia.  

     Portinatx is a picturesque retreat where pinecovered headlands separate three small bays of fine sand. Santa Eulalia combines a marina and great shopping with the traditional holiday attractions of shelving beaches and watersports.

     Ideal for a relaxing family holiday, the residential area of S'Argamassa is ideally placed midway between the resorts of Es Cana and Santa Eulalia. Fringed by palm trees, the shallow beach will especially appeal to those families with small children.
