When most people think of Ibiza, it’s the world famous night clubs that come to mind. But lets not forget the miles of sandy beaches, over 50 in fact, the small fishing villages with fantastically fresh sea food, and olive grove country side.

In this section we provide a guide to sites which offer more general views of Ibiza. In the Going Out section are more links and information on Clubs, Restaurants, Beaches, etc, while in the Travel section we provide lots more information getting around the Island.

Fifty miles due east of Spain's Mediterranean coast and a half hour by plane from Barcelona, Ibiza is the nearest of Spain's Balearic Islands. Popularized by hippies in the 1960s, Ibiza (pronounced ibb-EE-tha) and called Eivissa in Catalan, is mostly pretty and charming.

Ibiza is only 45 km long and 25 km wide, and has a year round population of 100.000. This of course increases dramatically during the summer months, when many seasonal workers and tourists descend upon the island. Most of the population is centred in and around the three major towns: the capital Ibiza Town, San Antonio and Santa Eulalia.

Distances:

• Ibiza Town - San Antonio: 16 Km
• Ibiza Town - Santa Eulalia: 15 Km
• San Antonio - Santa Eulalia: 17 Km

The Summer season runs from the 1st of May until the 31st October, although in recent years more hotels are offering all year accommodation. August is the fullest month, when it can get very crowded on both beaches and roads.
