It's IBIZA!
My best friend and i spontaneously booked a short trip to Ibiza and it was 4 days of tanning on beaches and a couple of late nights in Ibiza's famed Pacha club. It was amazing and I want to go back right now :(
ACCOMMODATION:
We were deciding where to stay between Ibiza town, San Antonio and Playa en Bossa and decided on Ibiza town because I'd heard the beaches at SA were far apart from each other and Playa was just a party beach plus Ibiza Town was in a pretty central location- the truth to all this info i've yet to confirm because we didn't quite explore much of SA and Playa.
Ibiza Town however didn't disappoint at all because it had a beautiful beach, plenty of good restaurants and the perfect ambience for any kind of tourist.
We stayed at the Lux Mar for 3 nights and paid about 97 euros for 2 people, which is a great deal considering that Ibiza is pretty expensive. The Lux Mar was more than enough for us, it was hugeeee. We had a bedroom, a living/dining room, a small kitchen area, a bathroom and a balcony facing (sort of) the sea.
Within the vicinity there are super marts, restaurants, and pretty much anything you'll need. The nearest beach is a 5 minute walk.
Just sneaking in one of my favourite pictures of the trip hehe.
One of the super marts near the hotel. Alcohol's cheap, they even have many different kinds of cocktail mixers. To save money on food, we would come here early in the morning, get a long roll of bread, some smoked salmon and ham and pack it in our bags as lunch for when we get to the beach.
The stroll to the beach is easy, and there are great cafes along the way too, serving cocktail jugs for 6 euros all day long.
This hippie looking cafe was really tempting but we never really got a chance to sit down for a drink
We visited a different beach each day because why not, we had 3.5 days and wanted to cover as much as we could.
Note: I realised the beach culture in Ibiza is pretty liberal. We found booby tanning everywhere we went, even the more "family" friendly ones.
BEACH #1: IBIZA TOWN
The beach in Ibiza town is edged right along the streets so it was really convenient if we needed to run to the bathroom or grab a bottle of ice water.
PICTURE: SUN, SAND, A COLD DIP IN THE WATER WHEN IT GETS TOO HOT.
Ahhhhhhh...it was perfect.
BEACH #2: I FORGOT WHERE
We walked 20 minutes to a bus stop, took 10 minutes to figure out which bus to take, and then another 30 - 40 minutes on the bus to get HERE.
When we first arrived, the clouds were dark and it looked like it was about to rain. I was so mad and disappointed but we didn't let it affect us. We still rolled out our towels, and took off our tops in that cold weather, stubbornly trying to pretend like there was a sun and we were going to have a good time anyway. Which we did in the end!!!!! Because the sun decided it wasn't as stubborn as us, and it came out for a few good hours.
This beach was so peaceful, and quiet, away from everything else, literally because it's in the middle of nowhere.
I'm so glad I brought the go pro along. My brother was pretty sure I would lose it or spoil it, but look at these pretty pictures we managed to take!!!! Also I kept using it to try and taking photo of nudies hahahaha.
The only building that landmarked this place was this beautiful cafe overlooking the cliff. Also there was a very handsome fine man working here who was watering flowers and talking about peace lol.
BEACH #3: LAS SALINAS
This was apparently some famous beach that Claire suggested we go to. It was easier to go, i think we took a bus to Ibiza town, and then like a cab or smth I can't remember lol.
Whereever you go on the beach, whichever beach it is, there will be many people asking you to go on boat tours or party boats or whatever. They seemed like pretty good deals, don't think they were fake or anything. But we were quite broke at that time, and didn't really have time anyway, so we passed. But I would have liked to try it out, maybe next time!
This was my favourite meal in Ibiza hehehehe. Some sort of beef pasta or whatever type of pasta that is. IT WAS GREAT, and relatively cheaper than everything else.
Because we went before the summer partying season began, we didn't party much. We managed to get tickets for Pacha Ibiza club, and Steve Aoki was playing that night. But cos we spent so much time tanning in the day and doing whatever else, we were so tired we couldn't wait for Aoki and left at like 2plus am LOL Damn lame but OLD ALREADY LA.
I really enjoyed Ibiza :))))))))))) All the more because i was with such great company. TILL NEXT TIME!
