How I found Ibiza...
I discovered Ibiza because of its connection to music and I fell in love with the island the moment I landed. That feeling of freedom, the love of nature, the passion and the drive to enjoy life and all its parties to the maximum.
Some of its myriad facets...
A lot of people don't believe me, but I love the more relaxed side of the island. It's only here that I have found a family atmosphere and the chance to switch off from my work and lose myself in the endless beaches with my family, where we can enjoy a meal in one of the many wonderful restaurants.
A Luxury on the island...
The mixture of its people and great climate is a real pleasure. Ibiza has year-round sunshine, you can forget your jacket and it's easy to be in a good mood when you see how the people here shine like the sun every morning.
My favourite moment...
I have favourite moments, but I couldn't choose a favourite place, every little nook and cranny is magical. However, I do like to visit the island at those times when most people don't want to. The beginning of March or the end of October is always a good time. But, my favourite time to go to Ibiza is, without a doubt, on New Years Day. Starting the year with an amazing bullit de peix on the beach in the winter sunshine.
A memory when I’m far away...
The views towards Dalt Vila! From my house I have incredible views of the old town walls, which have so many stories to tell and when I gaze at them my dreams take flight.
The magic of Ibiza...
It's difficult to explain the magic, Ibiza has a very special atmosphere that you can feel from the moment you touch down. Put simply, it makes me feel like I never want to leave.
What I tell my friends...
I always recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing family holiday. I think this side of the island should be promoted more, because not everybody knows about it and for me personally, I have discovered an indescribable little treasure here, a place to recharge and experience life with all my senses.
