Newcomer’s guide to the Party capital of the world

Newcomer’s guide to the Party capital of the world The Balearic Islands of which Ibiza is a part of, has gone on to become the global hub of the Electric Dance Movement. There are plenty of accommodation options available on online hotel booking sites that take the tedium away out of finding a place to stay down here.

Sun kissed beaches, a night-life that puts you on a never ending high and a vibe that has to be felt to know what it is, Ibiza in Spain has been holding onto its well earned sobriquet as party capital of the world. In-fact, the Balearic Islands of which Ibiza is a part of, has gone on to become the global hub of the Electric Dance Movement. EDM as it is known to its worshippers has spread its high intensity synthesizer led beats to virtually every part of the planet.

With the clubbing season in its beginning stages, the party scene in Ibiza this year promises to be trippier than ever. Over the next few months, the islands offer themselves to EDM enthusiasts who visit the place time after time. For your transportation needs, Ibiza is well connected by two major bus-services. The aptly named ‘Discobus’ services that are operational during peak clubbing season often become the preferred mode of transport for those who wish to get onto the club trails. Rent-a-Cabs too are available but these can be hard to come by during peak season, due to the extremely high demand for them. But if you wish to explore the place to the fullest, going beyond the clubbing route, a car rental service is what would be most suitable. A word of advice though; given that the road network is still under-development, do pay attention to the fine print and ensure that you are covered from minor damage.

The accommodation scenario is every bit as vibrant as the music on the island. The healthy lodging spread begins with spartan hostels, apartments and luxury suites, before growing on to expansive villas and catering to everything in between. Hotel bookings are a must however, as the popularity of the place means that most are sold out within a few days of the season opening.

One does have a rather wide variety of options at hand that vary in terms of the budget and offerings. Many advise that a trip to Ibiza begins with many months of planning. While this is true in some parts, the power of the internet has made it possible to embark on that impromptu getaway. There are plenty of options available on online hotel booking sites that sometimes offer hotel deals at mouth-watering prices.

Besides its musical journeys, Ibiza is also a place for scenic beauty aficionados. Its rich and colourful visage offers soothing vistas that are capable of calming even the most frazzled soul.

A word of advice for the weary traveller: If you do happen to be sailing around the islands and happen to notice that your watch having stopped or your GPS signalling going awry, do not worry. You’d have simply reached the third most magnetic place on the planet – Es Vedra.

So time you threw in those adventurous party threads, packed your bags and taken the next flight out to Ibiza. The best way to reach the place is to fly in through Europe where most airlines have a flight into town. The Sant Joseph Airport, located on the southern tip is always ready to welcome party animals. The equally well equipped ports like that of Sant Antoni also play host to party animals that prefer to cruise into town from the high seas.
