I've been to Ibiza twice, and I feel like I need a third trip to experience everything I want to.

I'll be going back summer 2010.

Check out http://ibiza-spotlight.com for a lot of good info. You can link to forums, Party Calendar (club listings by date), hotel info, etc.

The island is quite relaxed outside of the main town centers. Make sure to go to San Antonio during the day to hit up the shops, bars, etc. And, of course, see the sunset at Cafe Del Mar (in SA).

I stayed in Talamanca when I went, which was a lot cheaper that Ibiza Town or Playa d'en Bossa, where many of the big clubs are. It's also really close to Pacha.

we were just looking at flights last night and found flights on Iberia starting at $500 on cheapoair! That was for September (I love September,
too hot in July!)

word on ibiza-spotlight...they just started posted links to the 09 calendar, they already have the dates for armada night. Going to try
to hit the closing party.

We were planning on WMC too, I have my room but no flight. The flight ain't cheap from SF!...I'm not seeing a whole lot of trance on the WMC calendar thread yet either, sort of has me unexcited, cause I probably would skip Ultra and Space. IT all could change though!

Don't bother. Its well overrated. Seriously, there's nothing to see there.

Playa Den Bossa... something like that

Originally posted by sweetcandy girl This year I really have to say NO to WMC ( trust me it is hard and the arm twisting is starting to hurt) But this summer I am planing a trip to Ibiza!!!!! I have been wanting to go to Ibiza for some time now! Was hoping before my dirty thirty but being a few months off is not to bad! The plan of attack is to go Mid July. Staying for for 11 days. When is the best time to book a flight? Most travel sits have package deal where you can get a flight and a hotel, would that be the best bet? Also where is a good inexpensive place to stay??? Like the List for WMC is there a site for the events that happen at Ibiza? Besides the night life what else should I check out?? I know I need to save about 4-5 G's for this trip

Hi Michelle

- Book a flight whenever, it doesn't really matter. There are many low cost carriers that operate during the summer that can get you from wherever you land in Europe to the Island. Spanair, EasyJet, Vueling, and Clickair spring to mind. The key will be to get a good airfare from LA to Europe, after that its very cheap.

- Mid July is a great time to go. Its quite busy although not yet at peak attendance which is generally during mid August.

- As for accomodations, its typically best to share a place with friends which of course makes it alot cheaper. A good place that is not expensive and definitely not a dump is Hotel Garbi in Playa D'en Bossa. Its walking distance to Space and Bora Bora and is right on the beach. You could find cheaper accomodation on the other side of the Island in San Antonio, but the downside is that its very British and staying there will not give you a proper flavor of what the Island is all about. Playa d'en Bossa is located not very far from the airport and is much more European, which imo is the way to go. There are also other places on the Island that have good rates. Check the Spotlight site as they have relationships with most hotels on the Island and allow you to make your reservation directly from their web site.

- The Spotlight Calendar (not sure where the link to the 2009 calendar is) is a good place to keep track of all the events. Once they get their dates in place, just bookmark it and watch it religiously to keep track of who is playing where.

A few other items that you may want to consider.....

- Rent a car. It will save you a lot of money in cab fares and is well worth it, particularly as it will allow you the chance to explore different places on the Island. You will not be sorry.... (speak up Josh Allen)

- Set aside a day of your trip to visit Ibiza's smaller sister Island - Formentera. Its absolutely beautiful and has some of the most pristine beaches in the Mediterranean. Set aside a day when you are not going out the night before, wake up at a decent hour and go to the Marina and catch the ferry to Formenerra and just chill for the day. Mandatory at least once imo.

- Set aside an afternoon or two to cruise around the Island to see various non clubbing related places like Blue Marlin, Salanas, Cap de Falco, various places in San Antonio, as well as Portinatx, San Miguel. Just get in the bloody car and drive and see where it takes you.

I look forward to seeing you guys there. I'll be there for much of the summer so give me a shout!

If you look, you can find good deals. I did 7 days a few years back and got flight from LA and hotel in Playa Den Bossa for about 1400. Hotel was right on the water, rooms were OK, but never spent much time there so no biggie. But, as I am sure others who have gone will attest, most of your $ is spent running around and partying. There are some ways to minimize that, but not many. I don't remember how much I spent, but I went out every night, did some day parties as well as rented a car for a few days and didn't feel too pinched, but you can see how you can go crazy if you wanted to and spend a lot.

well you know my experience girl, just wish you and i could have popped out ibiza cherry together but i am so happy that you are going.

sorry for the arm twisting about wmc, lol, but i just want you to go. i mean, $100 for the room for the whole weekend for you girl, twist, twist

you will have a blast and i can't wait to see all the pics i know you will take and hear all about your adventures.

and remember we're heading back for my special birthday in 2010 or 11 whichever works best for the group
