Ibiza: Party and Luxury on the Balearic Islands (Christiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi & Leonardo Dicaprio) – Celebrity Hotspot
Ibiza — the third-largest island in the Balearic Islands has evolved from a peaceful hippie island into one of the world’s most glamorous travel destinations. Hollywood stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, football icons like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, as well as international top models fly to the Spanish Mediterranean island every year. Along the coast, luxury hotels compete with each other, world-class DJs play in clubs with five-figure entry tickets — and at the same time, Ibiza also offers something away from the party noise: picturesque bays, hippie markets, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Dalt Vila.
Ibiza combines party culture, luxury lifestyle, and quiet natural beauty. Best travel time: June to September. Celebrity beaches: Ses Salines, Cala Conta, Talamanca. Must-see: Dalt Vila, hippie markets, sunset at Café del Mar.
Ibiza: Location and Getting There
The Balearic island is located in the western Mediterranean, not far from Mallorca and Menorca. For a direct flight from Germany, you should plan for 2.5 to 3 hours. The Ibiza Airport (IBZ) is only 7 kilometers southwest of Ibiza Town and is very busy from April to October.
Ibiza Town and Dalt Vila: History and Glamour
The heart of the island is Ibiza Town (Eivissa), and above the city stands Dalt Vila — the old fortress town, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999. The medieval streets, art galleries, and restaurants within the mighty city walls are an absolute must for every Ibiza visitor.
Right at the harbor, new luxury restaurants and boutique hotels are being built every year. The harbor area is especially a meeting point of the international jet set society in the evening. Anyone exploring Ibiza Town should definitely plan several hours for Dalt Vila — best at sunset, when the old walls are bathed in golden light.
