Ibiza

Destination Information

Ibiza, ‘Eivissa’ in Catalan exudes a unique intoxicating energy, enjoying beautiful beaches, ranging from remote coves to sandy strands, natural parks, towering cliffs, and historic towns, including charming Ibiza Town, with its stunning cathedral, and cobbled streets, home to exclusive boutiques, bars and restaurants. For sports lovers, there are opportunities to enjoy horse riding, diving, hiking, golf, and boat charter.

Ibiza’s nightlife offers something for everyone, from an evening stroll to visiting artisan shops, from chic restaurants to the many legendary nightclubs. Santa Eulalia is a popular destination amongst families on the east coast, with an enchanting promenade surrounding the port, a beautiful white sandy beach, and excellent restaurants, whilst the quiet hamlet of Siesta nearby enjoys shops, restaurants, a beach and a spa. The south west coast is the place to take in Ibiza’s amazing sunsets, enjoy one of the famous clubs, or explore the verdant hillsides flanking valleys that lead to lovely small beaches. Worth visiting is San Lorenzo, an ancient Moorish settlement with an imposing church, and a drive along the north east coast is recommended, arguably the prettiest and least developed area on the island, the sweet scent of pine forests infusing the clear air.

The villas in CV Travel’s Ibiza collection range from delightful small rural fincas, to stylish coastal homes, and Moroccan influenced marvels.
