As I settled down this morning to write this article I did two things. Firstly, I flicked through my mobile phone looking at images I had taken across the week. The above image was snapped on Monday, as I stood looking down on Cala d'Hort. Not last month nor last year. This week.
The second thing I did was check the temperature today in London (13 degrees) and the temperature today on Ibiza (23-24 degrees)
I smiled!
Ibiza is beautiful throughout the year but some months, she has an added buzz to her. So it is now. Our visitors are arriving and the parties are really starting to rock. With the greatest of pleasure, we share below and on the website the best of Ibiza - let's get started!
Things to Do
Ibiza Rugby Tens Childrens Day.
A great opportunity for parents and children alike. Touch base and get involved - a unique opportunity on Ibiza for your children! See link above for details.
Markets - This Week, Las Dalias
Ibiza is rich with markets and we're proud to say, ones that are a really good day out for everyone! Local merchandise, great food, live music and much, much more ensure an entertaining but relaxing day for both tourists and islanders alike.
As always, if you're unsure what is going on, on the island, if you're looking for something a little different, feel free to check out our Ibiza Calendar of events - it's all there for you!
Restaurant of the Week: Sands
Ok, hands up, we liked this restaurant and beach bar last year and returned this year hoping they would have at least maintained last years standard... Instead, we found they had raised the bar beyond recognition! As our reviewer observes and advises, "I almost couldn't take any more pleasure. Go now, intrepid Ibiza diners! Enjoy!"
Villa of the Week: Ses Marjades
Very spacious, comfortable villa offering beautiful seaviews, comprising 4 ensuite double bedrooms, large terraces & pool area, fully equipped with Wi-Fi, iPod Dock and alarm. The family-friendly seaside resort Cala Vadella with restaurants and small shops lies only a 20 min walk away. Ideal location for romantic sunsets. Sleeps up to 8 adults and 4 children.
Special Last Minute Offer for a stay from July 6 to 16, 3960 Euros for 10 nights!!
Hotel of the Week: Migjorn, Playa d'en Bossa
If you're looking for somewhere cool, modern and close to the beach and all the action, then Migjorn Ibiza Suites & Spa is well worth a look at. It's right in the Playa d'en Bossa resort centre just 50 yards from the beach and a short stroll from the world-famous Space and Ushuaia. Take advantage, they have just put their peak season prices down by 15%!
Fashion Tip of the Week: Floral
Gentlemen, you've conquered your fear of bright colours. Confidently wearing hits of neon even without appearing like an extra from Kevin and Perry Go Large. Time to push your sartorial credentials' higher. Think flowers are for pansies? Think again. It takes a real man to rock the floral trend that's massive this year. Paul Smith, Riccardo Tisci and Givenchy all showcased this look on everything from shirts, suits to trainers. Start off with a floral shirt or buy a top with subtle accents. For optimum beach action, Baywatch style look to Syd and Rex's selection of quirky floral print shorts.
Clubbing Tips of the Week
We had a few relaxed days last weekend, but still managed to hit the first Pukka Up Boat Party as well as Hed Kandi's Opening Party, reviews here as always. But now, quiet time is definitely over..
Just last night, Ibiza Rocks had its first instalment of their 2013 season with Jake Bugg and tonight Loco Dice kicks off his "Used & Abused" series at Ushuaïa.
The weekend sees both mega clubs in San Rafael opening their doors for another crazy summer, first Privilege on Friday night and then Amnesia on Saturday night (or, more like, Sunday morning for those in the know). And on Sunday night, Spotlight favourite We Love... is back in town - every Sunday at Space until the end of September.
Still not enough? The world's best techno party Cocoon kicks into gear again on Monday (sssssh, don't forget about their infamous afterhours on Tuesday!). See? Ibiza is in full swing, yay!
For and on behalf of the team at Ibiza Spotlight, we wish you a fantastic week!,
Cat Milton.
