Stunning beaches and fantastic nightlife, Ibiza has a large selection of great nightclubs and deserves its reputation as one of the worlds leading party islands. The island has over 50 beaches and there are loads of other tourist attractions that don't involve drinking and dancing. With over 300 days of sunshine every year and mild winters this is a great place to relax and get tanned while waiting for the night life to come alive. During July and August, the weather is both hot and sunny and you generally get around 11 hours of sun each day, more than enough for a great tan.

Its not really a surprise that the Guinness book of world records listed it as "the entertainment island of the world" as it houses some legendary nightclubs. Amnesia and Pacha started the whole super club revolution catering for thousands. Privilege is now the largest nightclub and when it is full, holds around 10,000 guests - now that's a party! Watch out for the Admission charges though and the expensive drinks. There's nothing worse than running out of money when there's still 4 hours to go. You may want to take a towel as well as the dance floors are often filled with foam. The smaller clubs are cheaper and there are loads of them but a night at one of the large clubs is an experience you will want to try.

There are loads of places to stay from budget lodging to luxury accommodation in Ibiza, both on the seafront and inland.
