The Balearic Islands is an archipelago of four small islands off the coast of the Spain in the Mediterranean Sea (120 miles south of Barcelona). These islands are Ibiza, Mallorca, Menorca, and Formentera (the smallest inhabited island). All these islands are popular tourist destinations, offering remarkably distinct scenery as well as beach resorts that provide every kind of facility.

However, this article is all about Ibiza, the Mecca for all hedonistic sun and fun seekers. Each year, a multinational force of people head to Ibiza City, the capital of the island, to enjoy themselves at the multitude of discos, clubs, and bars – which can be best described as ‘temples of pleasure’ to have a rocking time.

Though, many tourists still arrive in Ibiza with thoughts of soft drugs and hard sex, Ibiza offers both in large doses but there are potential dangers involved. The local government tries hard to maintain discipline and warns travelers to behave themselves with threats of deportation.

Around the 1960’s, Ibiza cut itself off from the rest of European resort towns under the influence of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. The followers of this religious cult hero’s spiritual school of thought called Osho, were a strange sect. Mostly hippies, they followed their hero to Ibiza and this gave birth to the party community here.

But there is more to Ibiza than just nightclubs and paella and chips holidays. We advise you to leave the general tourist trail and discover the living and breathing Ibiza, which consists of a laidback town, un-spoilt powder beaches, remote and private rocky coves, secluded bays, hilly terrains dense with olive and fig trees, and restored pretty whitewashed farmhouses. A perfect place to walk, ride, and swim in crystal clear sea, the best time to visit Ibiza is before or after the blitzkrieg of summer partygoers.

With a population of just 84,000 inhabitants, Ibiza has the distinction of attracting over a million tourists each year. The best place to travel to has got to be Ibiza Town. This town has plenty to offer from buildings with medieval history to elegant modern restaurants to beautiful and naturally secluded coves, and a lush green countryside.

As the walled area ends, it opens up into one of the most exciting places to visit - the Harbor and the Marina that reflect a combination of history and modernity. From here, you can walk to the nearby Vara de Rey where the famous and legendary Hotel Montesol stands majestically.

Interesting, Ibiza is also the home to one of the most important wetland and ecosystems known as Ses Feixes. Located next to the Talamanca Beach, it is probably the only place that has remains of the ancient irrigation system used by Arabs. Besides this, there is an important bird sanctuary on this island.

Despite how hard you may try to stay away from the regular stuff, it would be hard to ignore the temptations of the sandy beaches that beckon you at every step of your way around here!
