About Ibiza Tourism
Known as the party capital of Europe, Ibiza is one of Spain's famous Balearic Islands and attracts a mixed crowd to its miles of white sandy beaches, mega-clubs, historic capital and quaint whitewashed villages that make up the hinterland. The main resorts include Cala es Figuera, Cala Llonga, Platja des Canar and Platja des Niu Blau, where cafes, bars and shops are nearby.
While hordes of youngsters fly into Ibiza Airport (IBZ) during the summer months for its lively nightlife, which attracts some of the biggest DJs around, an older and more sedate crowd arrives on the island's shores during the low season, making many of the resorts ideal for families.
