Ibiza - Low Cost Holidays & Travel Guide

Ibiza may be the party island of the Balearics, but there’s much more to this sun-drenched destination. The beautiful Mediterranean island of Ibiza has a quieter side - and provides well for couples looking for relaxing retreats, families looking for fun in the sun, and those looking for something different, such as luxury spa weekends, yoga and wellness retreats, plus hiking and wildlife trailing.

With a holiday to Ibiza, you can combine history, culture and relaxation on a backdrop of long white dazzling beaches, beautiful rolling countryside and a coastline surrounded by calm turquoise seas.
