The island is well-known for its summer club parties which attract large numbers of tourists, but the island and the Spanish Tourist Office have been working in order to promote more family-oriented tourism.
Ibiza is considered a popular tourist destination, especially due to its legendary and at times riotous nightlife centered around two areas: Ibiza Town, and Sant Antoni to the West.
Well-known nightclubs are :
Privilege
Amnesia
Space
Pacha
Eden
Es Paradís
Underground
Gala Night and DC10
During the summer, the top producers and DJs in dance come to Ibiza and play at the various clubs, in between touring to other international destinations. Many of these DJs use Ibiza as an outlet for presenting new songs within the house, trance and techno genres of electronic dance music.
The season traditionally begins at the start of June with Space and DC10's opening parties and finishes on the first weekend of October with the Closing Parties. A typical schedule for clubbers going to Ibiza includes waking at noon, early evening naps, late night clubbing, and "disco sunrises."
Also well-known is Café del Mar, a long-standing bar where many tourists traditionally view the sunset made famous by José Padilla.
That and other bars close by have become an increasingly popular venue for club pre-parties after sunset, hosting popular DJ performers.
Though primarily known for its party scene, large portions of Ibiza island are registered as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and thus protected from the development and commercialization of the main cities. A notable example includes "God's Finger" in the Benirràs Bay as well as some of the more traditional Ibicenco cultural sites. Because of Ibiza’s rustic beauty, companies and artists alike frequently use the island for photographic and film shoots. A monument ("The Egg") erected in honour of Christopher Columbus can be found in Sant Antoni: Ibiza is one of several places purporting to be his birthplace.
Sightseeing
Ibiza's natural and human heritage: churches, monuments, caves, countryside
For a small island Ibiza has plenty to show you on your holiday; beautiful beaches, enchanting countryside, history and culture.
In land you will find beautiful white washed villages, each with their own ancient church. Explore the narrow lanes, browse the local shops and then, perhaps, enjoy a lazy lunch on a shady terrace.
Hippy Markets
A visit to one of the famous Hippy Markets is a must. At the markets you have an enormous variety to choose from: the most exotic batik wraps and clothing to tailor-made leather moccasins and a tantalising variety of East Asian silver jewellery and trinkets. If you look around you can still find some of the original hippies, although most of them have grey hair by now!
"Las Salinas " Salt Flats
One of Ibiza's most famous landmarks. On the southern most tip of the island, the salt fields have been in use for over 2000 years. As the water evaporates during the hot summer months, a sparkling layer of pure salt is left on the bottom of the lakes. One of the most beautiful spots for sunset photos.
