Everyone wants to Ibiza!
What do Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Moss and Bastian Schweinsteiger have in common? You are vacationing in Ibiza. And so this year they are by far not the only known faces on the Balearic Island - there is celebrity alarm (Spiegel Online reported). But why this year? ChroniquesDuVasteMonde editor Astrid Christians did not spy on a celebrity during her vacation, but instead brought home ten travel tips - from casual to glamorous. And now knows exactly why it always has to be Ibiza ...
The hotel
The apartment hotel "Sunset Oasis" is located less than two kilometers from the tourist town of San Antonio - something like the Ballermann for Englishmen - but still convinced with great tranquility and the hospitality of the hotel operator Tito. In addition, most of the apartments are facing west so you can enjoy the wonderful sunset over the Mediterranean on the balcony.
"Café del Mar"
You have to have been here. The lounge music with electronic beats has its origin here and has long been cult. When the red ball has sunk into the sea, the whole "Café del Mar" applauds and the sunset becomes a communal happening.
The noble beach
He is also called Rolex Beach. On the beach "Las Salinas" romp the rich and beautiful. A sun bed costs 60 euros per day. The Black Angus Steak in the trendy "Jockey Club" almost as much. The money can be saved and put on a sandwich in the sand to watch the afternoons passing promoters of the clubs. You have to visit this beach with a healthy dose of irony. Extra tip: On the way to "Las Salinas" you drive past the salt lakes, where the popular sea salt "Sal de Ibiza" is harvested. Stop and buy souvenirs!
The casual beach
Who does not like it so hyped, but still chic and scenic, should drive to "Cala Bassa". The 300 meter long bay is in the afternoon in the shade. Especially the loungy beds of the "Cala Bassa Beach Club" invite you to relax. Probably also find top models. Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell were spotted here.
The relaxed bay
You will most likely not see a celebrity here. The small bay "Cala Boix" is located in the northwest of the island and is known for its almost black sand. The sea is rougher here and is ideal for bodyboarding. At the top of the hill, near the parking lot, is the "Ristorante La Noria". Here is a grandiose paella under secluded pine trees with stunning sea views.
city visit
Santa Eulalia, the third largest city of the island, is characterized by its quiet, family character. At the blue hour it is recommended to run up to the fortified church. The white building from the 16th century shines in navy blue. And if you think the Spaniards only eat greasy tapas, you're wrong. A detour to the "Passion" is worthwhile. So delicious can be vegan, vegetarian and raw food.
Hippie market
The hippie image belongs to Ibiza as the white sausage to Bavaria. But as hippiesk as then it is probably nowhere more. You can still see colorful batik pants and flowers in your hair on every corner. In other words, anyone who sees himself as a fashionable hippie is here in paradise. And a visit to one of the hippie markets is definitely part of the program. "Las Dalias" near Santa Eulalia is an original. Here you will find not only jewelry but also one or the other antique unique.
The party hotel
Leo DiCaprio spent four days in the exclusive "I'm On Top of the World" Suite and Bastian Schweinsteiger celebrated his 30th birthday here. The Ushuaia is luxury hotel, chic beach club and pompous party location alike. This is where the In-Crowd Ibizas meets and dances to the fellow-hum beats of famous DJs like David Guetta or Avicii. The parties start already at 17 o'clock, find their climax at sunset, at 24 o'clock is over. Then everyone can decide for themselves whether he will move on to the neighboring clubs of Playa d'en Bossa. The resort closes at the end of October. The closing parties are legendary.
The capital
A day trip to Ibiza Town (Eivissa) definitely worth it. The capital of the island enchants boutiques and restaurants with its charming old town, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999. And if you are still looking for an overnight stay? The 'Hostal Mar Blau' in Ibiza Town is not a place where celebrities descend. The comfort is simple, but everything is done in the house with love. In the lobby, the father smokes cigar and chats with the guests, no matter in what language. The atmosphere is so warm that the regulars return every year. In addition, the 'Mar Blue' has something you can not buy with money - a fantastic view from the terrace over the entire bay.
The detour
If you need a breather after all the excitement of Ibiza, book a day ticket to Formentera.From Ibiza Town can be reached in about 30 minutes, the small, much quieter neighboring island. The trip is worth it: the water shimmers turquoise and one of the most beautiful beaches in the world (according to Tripadvisor) hides in the north. "Ses Illetes" is full accordingly, but the water is still Caribbean clear. Most visitors rent a scooter, but the tour over the island is even more fun with an e-bike.
