Ibiza

The special island – the ?place to be? for many

White houses, picturesque old-town laneways, tiny villages and gorgeous bays with white sand and turquoise waters – Ibiza is all of this. ?Isla Blanca?, the white island, as the Romans called it. Ibiza is different; it?s its own little universe. Contradictions that fuse into a unique whole: Romantic and wild, quiet and flashy, raucous party nights and tranquil days by the sea, the world?s most expensive restaurants and the magnificently simple beachside eateries. And as white as the houses of the old town are, so too is the island?s fashion. But never is it worn as sexily as it is in Ibiza. The residents here are an exciting mix of people from all over the world: the simple farmers and fishermen, the painters and writers, and artists and bon vivants, and the rich and famous who come here for a lifestyle away from the red carpet and cameras.

Coupled with this is the island?s captivating nature: the green pine forests, the sea with more than 50 stunning bays, and the mind-blowing sunsets that see the night bid farewell to the day in an explosion of colour. Ibiza is small; smaller than Hamburg. And this means short distances to restaurants, to the yacht harbours, to the airport and to catch-ups with friends at the beach clubs or the golf course. ?Being able to live here and own property here is a privilege!? Such is the view of many of those who consider Ibiza their second home. Discover the island, whose fortress city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site – and which was a sacred island even for the Phoenicians 2700 years ago.
