Ibiza
Ibiza is an island that is great for partying, but also has a more relaxed side too that is lesser known. Famous for its yoga retreats, it can serve any type of holidaymaker. Head here on a hen party or with your girlfriends to get your taste of sun, sangria and parties, or visit with your other half for a romantic break that is guaranteed to tick all the boxes.
