After years of considering and rejecting Ibiza, we have finally booked for next year. Im so excited

but dont know the first thing about Ibiza.

We are going with family members and will be staying in a villa just outside of Es Cana. Its going to be a holiday of firsts as we have never stayed in a villa either. We have a hire car and we are travelling with people who have been regulars of Ibiza for several years so it should be brilliant.

Does anyone have any tips or ideas of good places to visit? There is a varied age range from 18months to 60 years old. It would be good to go armed with a list of things that are good recommendations as so many of you are seasoned and experienced travellers to Ibiza.

Re: Booked

Great

We'd already thought about the water park and it doesnt look too bad a drive for a few hours. The hippy market is also on the agenda especially as it will be so close to where we are staying.

The list looks do-able so i will be making notes.

Thank you.

Re: Booked

Sarah,

Just a quick tip - you might find it quicker to walk to the Hippy Market rather than take your car.
The roads in and around Es Cana get snarled up on wednesdays particularly in high season.
It really depends how far out and which side of Es Cana you are on.

John.

Re: Booked

Im not sure how far away will be situated. We are staying in a village called San Carlos. No matter, we can always drive so far and walk the rest if it is too far away.

Thanks.

Re: Booked

If you are staying in San Carlos then I wouldn't bother with the Wednesday hippy market at Punta Arabi (Es Cana); it's full of cheap old tourist tat that you can pick up anywhere. On Saturdays there is a hippy market at Las Dalias in San Carlos which is miles better and much more authentic.

Re: Booked

Ibiza is a beautiful island and has been my fave holiday destination for several years. Hippy Market in Es Cana is a waste of time, it really is full of tack!.
Ibiza town day and night is great. Tour the island as there are some really nice quiet resorts and beaches. Cala Llonga is my favourite place, beautiful and peaceful.
Enjoy, you'll be back!.

Re: Booked

if you have a few children with you a ride on the mini train is nice, there is one that goes from Es Cana the trip calls into San Carlos. There is one that goes from the town hall in Santa Eulalia that goes out into the counrtyside.

Theres a nice mini golf in Es Cana with a lovely terrace for the adults to have a drink.
