Ibiza Destination Guide Ibiza Destination Guide Contents Contents 2 Quick Facts 3 About Ibiza 4 Events & Nightlife 5 Tours & Activities 8 Food & Dining Out 10 Shopping 12 Best Time To Visit 13 Travel Tips 14 Quick Facts Flying Time: 2 hours 20 minutes Currency: Euro Language: Catalan Time Zone: GMT+1 Visit For: Great Beaches, Culture, Nightlife, Beautiful Scenery, Festivals 3 About Ibiza Though it has a rather simplistic reputation as a hedonistic, dance music orientated, party island, vibrant Ibiza (Eivissa, to the Ibicencan locals) is so much more than that. With golden sands, glorious sunsets and alluring coves, plus an abundance of picturesque towns and villages, Ibiza is likely to beguile and surprise many sceptics with its beauty and culture. Of course, there are still superstar DJs arriving en masse each summer to keep crowds of revellers dancing until the early hours, but Ibiza has been getting more in touch with its late 1960’s hippy roots in recent years, with more laid-back parties and cabaret becoming increasingly fashionable again. And those looking to unwind on a relaxing beach holiday are just as welcome and accommodated for in the town. Part of the Balearic Islands which includes the considerably larger Mallorca, Menorca, and tiny Formentera, Ibiza sits in the Mediterranean Sea, 79km (49 miles) from the city of Valencia on the Spanish mainland. Despite officially being a part of Spain, Ibiza is largely autonomous in both its government and in spirit. The island’s main municipality, known widely as Ibiza Town (though it is actually a city), sits on the southeastern coast and is a charming place full of chic boutiques, fancy bars and an enticing marina lined with yachts and high-end cuisine. The combination of Ibiza Town’s impeccably preserved Dalt Vila (old town) and the island’s varied marine life meant Ibiza was made an UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999. The largest city boasts authentic cobbled streets, an imposing castle and the beautiful Santa Maria d’Eivissa Cathedral, as well as the world famous super clubs Pacha, Amnesia and DC10 Sant Antoni though, is the real clubbing and partying capital of Ibiza, and arguably the place to avoid for those wishing to have a – relatively - peaceful stay on the island. Nonetheless, despite a particularly garish and ugly West End area – crammed full of tacky cafes, bars, chippys and inebriated students – Sant Antoni (known more widely as San Antonio) has a genuinely pretty coastline, and right at the far end of the so-called ‘Sunset Strip’, there are increasingly more upmarket bars that offer not only wonderful cocktails but unequalled views of the awe-inspiring Ibiza sunset. Popular with families and holidaymakers visiting Ibiza are the resort towns of Santa Eularia des Riu (Santa Eulalia) and Es Canar (Es Cana) on the northeastern coast of the island. Both Santa Eulalia and Es Cana boast fine stretches of golden sands and turquoise waters that are perfect for lazing or taking part in watersports, plus plenty of good hotels, shops and entertainment venues. If you’re looking to discover an Ibiza a little off the beaten track, then hiring a moped or scooter is a good way to do it. Cruise around the island, locating the small bits of unspoilt coastline in the north east or saunter on foot through the charming villages, trails and pine forests that are scattered throughout the island. Whether you’re there to dance til dawn, relax on a beach, take in some culture or hike amidst the greenery, Ibiza is a wonderful summer holiday destination. And with very little annual rainfall, the second smallest of the Balearic Islands can be enjoyed beneath long hours of sunshine and one of the most breathtaking sunsets to be seen in the Mediterranean. 4 Events & Nightlife See the list of exciting Events taking place in Ibiza, as well as the varied Nightlife on offer Events Carnival Parades From: 01-02-2015 To: 28-02-2015 Free. Every year Ibiza celebrates carnival during the month of February. A large parade with floats, giants and demons takes place in Ibiza Town, starting at Av Sta Eulalia, and finishing at the Vara de Rey. Held before Lent, it's a time for dressing up, dancing and feasting. The local rice dish arroz de matanza is often served and concerts are held in the evening. Venue Name: Ibiza Town Ibiza International Film Festival From: 01-05-2015 To: 31-05-2015 Free. First held in 2007, this independent film festival is now an annual event on the island. Following the motto "the independent spirit", the Ibiza IFF promotes independent productions from all over the world. Its award and symbol is the Falcó d'Or, representing an Eleonora's Falcon, a species which nests on the cliffs of Ibiza and Formentera. Venue Name: Throughout the island. Festa de Maig From: 05-05-2015 To: 05-05-2015 Free. The first Sunday in May celebrates the arrival of spring.

Alternatively, individual gigs cost around £30. Ibiza Rocks is a summer-long festival of live music that has run annually since 2005. The festival consists of seventeen consecutive weekly Wednesday night concerts in the courtyard of the Ibiza Rocks Hotel. The opening party is one of many events in Ibiza held at the beginning of the party season. All the major clubs put on elaborate club nights with top international DJs, matched only at the closing parties in September. Venue Name: Ibiza Rocks Hotel Dia de Virgen de Carmen From: 16-07-2015 To: 16-07-2015 Free. Held all over the Balearic islands, the feast of the patron saint of sailors and fishermen includes parades and the blessing of fishing boats.

Sant Ciriac celebrates and remembers the Catalan conquest, which took place on the same day in 1235. Colourful processions fill the streets and there are performances, folklore and concerts on many of the squares. It is one of the most popular festival days and begins in the morning with a ceremony in the cathedral in honour of Saint Ciriac. Afterwards a procession with all the parish flags of Ibiza passes through the streets. Venue Name: Dalt Vila Diada de Catalunya From: 11-09-2015 To: 11-09-2015 Free. This public holiday is enjoyed by all in Ibiza in early September and sees many shops and businesses close for the day. The festival commemorates an important date in Spanish history (the defeat of the Catalan troops during the War of the Spanish Succession) and is celebrated enthusiastically by the Catalonian people. Parades, fireworks and lively street performances are the highlight. Venue Name: Various venues in Ibiza. 6 Día de la Hispanidad From: 12-10-2015 To: 12-10-2015 Free. Hispanic Day (Día de la Hispanidad) or National Day (Fiesta Nacional de España) is an annual national public holiday commemorating when Christopher Columbus first set foot in the Americas in 1492. Venue Name: Throughout Ibiza. Sant Carles From: 04-11-2015 To: 04-11-2015 Free. The patron saint of Ibiza, Sant Carles day is marked by countrywide celebrations. The first of the winter fiestas, festivities focus around the village of Sant Carlos, the central hub of Ibiza from the 13th to the 18th century. Venue Name: Sant Carles. Nightlife Nowhere in the world quite does nightlife like Ibiza. Despite recent government attempts to reel in certain aspects of club culture and the 'anything goes' attitude, the island by it's wild scene continues to attract party goers from across Europe and beyond drawn to the island's reputation and appearances of world-famous DJ's. These clubs are by no means cheap to get into and drinks can prove expensive once inside. Many revellers opt to get their alcoholic fill amongst the nearby bars and pubs that often use street touts to draw people inside. The party season runs between June and September with enormous parties held at the beginning and end of this period. Ibiza after dark is certainly not just the den of inequity certain European media would have their readers believe. While some areas of San Antonio, Ibiza Town and Santa Eularia still suffer at the hands of over-indulgent, bawdy attractions and behaviour; there is still plenty of space left for those who prefer their evenings tranquil, romantic and cultured beneath what can be described as one of the most striking sunsets in Europe. Come dusk many take to the pavement cafes and watch the world go by during the traditional Iberian pastime of el paseo (strolling for pleasure before dinner). Also popular is hopping between the wealth of traditional bars to sample the local wine and tapas or taking a stroll on one of the plethora of beaches before a dinner of local seafood and wine.

  • An Application of Hedonic Pricing Analysis in the Balearic Islands 2
    Searching the most valued attributes at hotels: an application of hedonic pricing analysis in the Balearic Islands Montserrat Gatnau Vera Master’s Thesis Master’s degree in Economics of Tourism: Monitoring and Evaluation at the UNIVERSITAT DE LES ILLES BALEARS Academic year 2016-17 Date: 15/06/2017 UIB Master’s Thesis Supervisor: Angel Bujosa Bestard Searching the most valued attributes at hotels: an application of hedonic pricing analysis in the Balearic Islands 2 ABSTRACT Hotel rooms can be conceived as a bundle of tangible and intangible attributes that provide overnight accommodation for travellers visiting a destination away form home. According to hedonic pricing theory, a hotel room is valued for the utility that each of its attributes offers to travellers. The value or implicit price of these attributes can be disentangled and revealed through hedonic price regressions. This project contributes to the hedonic pricing literature estimating the most valued attributes of hotel rooms located in the Balearic Islands. In contrast to previous studies developed in the Mediterranean region, the empirical application benefits from two improvements. On the one hand, data from TripAdvisor’s website is used to capture the dynamic pricing strategies taking place in the market through the computation of average prices, as well as to obtain a complete set of explanatory variables including attributes, services and facilities describing both, hotels and hotel rooms. On the other hand, beyond using ordinary least squares regressions to estimate the hedonic price function, quantile regression methods are also used to characterize the behaviour of independent variables at specific points along the price distribution.
