And
in fact not only Ibiza, but also Majorca, Minorca together with the
pine-covered Formentera are very hot destinations during summer.
Although
the official language of the Balearic Islands is mainly Catalan, the Castellan
Spanish is spoken by the major of the inhabitants and residents. In any case,
whether you do not know any word in Spanish nor Catalan, English is very widely
understood throughout the Balearic islands.
In
Ibiza there are plenty of things to see and to do, whereas cherishing the see
and the warm weather is the widely beloved activity. For a nice daily trip
there is Es Vedra, a mystical island rock off Ibiza’s west coast, or yo can
take the chance to visit nearby Formentera by boat or indulge with your friends
in a treasure hunting of new isolated beaches all a long the coast.
If you prefer go shopping theres a
famous Hippy Market held only on Wednesdays on the east coast of the island (
its only 42 km at its maximum length). If you rather miss some cultural venues
or spots for sure a walk in San Antonio village is a must especially along its
renown Passeig de ses Fonts or a visit to Ibiza Town itself. Ibiza is famous
for its nightlife but do not expect to find people in pubs and clubs in Ibiza
town or San Antonio before 7pm. All people is still indulging in the beach
soaking up even the last rays or sleeping off the past night’s drinks. Theres
to say that Ibizas hotels offer a lot of water sports and activities in their
gardens and beaches.
There
are many standard hotels along the beaches with green gardens. You will
certainly see them with a nice walk along the beach exhibiting their fancy
exotic names related to the sea and sun as: Mare nostrum hotel, Lux Mar Hotel,
Playa Sol hotel, Sol Bay hotel, Playa Grande hotel, Maritimo hotel, Nautilus
hotel, Bossa park hotel or to some Latin male figures from Poseidon hotel, Don
Juan hotel to Marco Polo hotel.
As long as tour operators know the
clientele of the Balearic, and especially of Ibiza Island, where usually group
of friends book their vacation, the hotels have reconsider their accommodation
and lodging typology. In fact, they do not only offer standard private rooms
but also and more often, family apartments, residence formula with all
inclusive or the access to a private kitchen.
They are family friendly and accept
children providing families with a lot of services for kids form baby sitting,
to mini club , to sport activities with instructors and so on. On
last tasty note, we cant forget to mention some of the typical dishes of
Balearic Islands. Usually hotels offer an international cuisine, but dont
forget that part of the travel is also to discover new dishes, to taste a new
culture that passes also through some local specialties; ensaimada, a sort of
flat, soft pastry coil something like a doughnut – and flao, a sweet cheese and
mint flan. Most pastelerias and many bars sell ensaimada whilst flao is a bit
more difficult to track down. But you may ask your hotel chef!
