5 of the Top Places to Stay in Ibiza

Ibiza is one of the most popular holiday destinations for travelers in the 18-30 age range and with good reason. Whether you want to party all night, relax on the beach, or simply get away from the stresses of day to day life and enjoy a few days lazing by the pool with a good book, there's something for everyone in Ibiza. Here is a quick round-up of the best island resorts.

Can Xuxu
This highly fashionable resort is owned by former fashion designer Alexandre Narakas. Each suite has been individually designed and features its own private terrace. The resort also has a 14-meter pool and a chic "relaxation zone" complete with wooden day beds. This resort attracts a lot of wealthy, fashionable travelers  so be sure to pack your best outfits.

Pikes
Party animals will love Pikes. This holiday hot-spot was made famous when it was used by Wham! as the location for their Club Tropicano video. Since then, Pikes has been home to great sounds, refreshing cocktails and non-stop partying.

Candomo
For an alternative Ibiza experience, check out Candomo, a quiet resort located on a former 17th-century farm in Ibiza's quiet hills. This resort is great for a week of relaxation and fine dining. Night-life opportunities are limited in the area, but there is a pool on-site and a golf course nearby. A masseuse visits every day and the owner of the resort makes delicious home-made meals for his guests.

Ushuaia Ibiza
This bustling beach hotel offers the ultimate hedonistic Ibiza experience. The hotel has an on-site club and guests receive an all-access pass, which means they can visit the main stage, the beach pool and all of the club rooms. The DJ sets at Ushuaia Ibiza are world-renowned and the hotel suites are decked-out Hollywood style with full-length mirrors and a wealth of complimentary beauty products.

Hacienda Na Xamena
If the thought of noisy DJs and busy clubs is too much to bear, then why not head away from the resorts and stay somewhere more tranquil? Hacienda Na Xamena is located in Northern Ibiza. This luxurious resort boasts private heated pools, Jacuzzis and a saltwater spa.

You can enjoy a trip to Ibiza on a budget, although you will have to plan your nights out carefully. You can find cheap flights at most times of the year, thanks to websites such as http://www.cheapflights.co.uk/flights/Ibiza/. If you book a self-catering villa and buy club entry tickets online in advance, then you can save a fortune.

Ibiza is a beautiful place and while most people visit it for the beaches and the clubs, there are a lot of other things to see and do on the island. If you're planning on staying at one of the main resorts, try to find some time to explore the rest of the island to get a feel for what life is like for the locals. The beaches further away from the resorts are usually quieter and the views are nicer too.

It's an island in the Mediterranean Sea...somewhere in Spain. Sorry if this article didn't provide that info. The author probably weren't aware you or others don't know where Ibiza is. Have a great day!
