Ibiza is the third largest island of the Balearic Islands and it's well-known for its pleasant climate, its beautiful landscapes, and its fascinating night life. Ibiza city (in Catalan: Ciutat d’Eivissa or just Eivissa and among locals simply nicknamed Vila) is the capital and it is located on the southeast coast of the island. It is one of the most important places of the island and at the same time the biggest city with an approx. population of 44.000 inhabitants. The city is generally divided into 2 parts, the old town (called Dalt Vila) and the modern part (called Eixample). In 1999, the Dalt Vila and the massive defense wall were declared UNESCO world heritage because of its uniqueness and its historical value. Eivissa is a very lively city, meeting point of many different nationalities. Its multilingual soul is a successful example of peaceful cohabitation of various cultures. Thus, Ibiza is a mix of tradition and culture combined with modernity and trendiness. The city offers a rich variety of entertainment, cultural events, culinary richness, sports, urban flair, and much more. You will love Ibiza at first glance due to its extraordinary beauty and diversity.
When you have a little of spare time we highly recommend you to go discovering the hidden corners of the city: you should drop over at places like the Egg monument in Sant Antoni, which was made in honor of Christopher Columbus, the “God’s Finger” in the Benirràs Bay or the “Balàfia” in Sant Joan de Labritja, which are former defense towers of the Arabics.
Ibiza is also known for its vibrating and fascinating nightlife. In the 1980s, a new style of electronic music was created here named the Balearic beat, which is a mix of dance music influenced by a DJ. Besides, you can find the world’s biggest nightclub close to the city of Sant Rafael called Privilege. This club is usually mentioned along with Pacha, Amnesia, Es Paradís or DC10, which are always worth to make a short tour.
