Can you give us any insiders' tips for things to do?
I've been told that the Island is resting on a huge deposit of quartz, which has a natural vibrating resonance to it and this in turn has an effect on our bodies, giving us a natural feeling of euphoria and well-being, for this reason people are drawn to the Island.

I'd definitely recommend taking a trip up to the north of the island as the beaches are amazing there and as you get higher in to the mountains the views become spectacular. There's also the Cova de Can Marca (Caves) in San Miguel which is a must - there is so much to see and do in Ibiza I'd recommend to anyone to try to get some time to see what the Island has to offer.

In one sentence, what makes Ibiza so special?
Ibiza creates magical moments that will live with you forever.
