Ibiza Tourist Information

Ibiza is known throughout the world as a modern party island. However, the magic of Ibiza has been around since depths of time. A mystical island with megalithic structures that can be traced back to more than twenty centuries BC, Ibiza has always been a destination for various cultures and civilisations. For this reason, the characteristic that best defines holidays in Ibiza is one of cosmopolitanism.

It has been such since ancient times, when Carthaginians, Phoenicians, Romans, Vandals, Muslims and Christians were successive visitors to this idyllic place.

Ibiza Tourism is characterised by its 170 km of coastline which serves as an invitation for water sports fans, as are the tranquil beaches that offer a view of unforgettable sunsets. A jewel such as this has always been coveted, thus being a target for pirates and buccaneers. In spite of this, the island was protected thanks to similar figures, like the Corsairs.

Ibiza can boast about being the only island in the world that has enjoyed Corsair protection, something attested by the Monumento a los Corsarios (Monument to the Corsairs) at the port. The Ibizan Corsair ships, or jabeques dominated the waters of the Mediterranean between the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century.

But it was in the 1960s and 1970s when the island, then being a melancholic and rural place, became a world destination thanks to the arrival of artists, hippies and lovers of mysticism, something that Ibiza has preserved and characterises holidays in Ibiza. During these marvellous decades, the island grew into a cultural and recreational phenomenon, visited by multi-millionaires, models, VIPs, people involved in the fashion world, the cool and stylish, cinema actors and actresses, musicians and intellectuals; even thousands of young people from all over the world were claiming symbols of peace and love.
