I am sure you will be in complete agreement with me that when you hear someone speaking about Ibiza, the first words that come to mind are party island and that it is the place to head to drink and dance the night away to your favourite DJ’s. However, if I then ask you about North Ibiza what then comes to your mind? Is it any different you ask? To help give us a deeper insight into this luxury holiday location I caught up with one of our partners, Andy Turner, for some further tips on why luxury villas in North Ibiza should be on the radar for your next luxury summer villa holiday.

Ibiza VS North Ibiza

With thick woodland lining the north coast of Ibiza and an array of artist studios, organic cafes and book shops lining the streets you will soon begin to realise that North Ibiza is a very different location to the party island you have come to associate Ibiza with. If you are looking for a luxury villa holiday in Ibiza comprising of the perfect rural escape with an abundance of wildlife and an ample amount of fresh produce to get your hands on, then North Ibiza is the luxury destination for you.

Typically Ibiza is known as a party island so for people who don’t know Northern Ibiza how would you best describe it Andy?

It is true that some areas of Ibiza have a big party atmosphere and it will continue to be known by many as a party island. However the North of the island has a completely different vibe. More bohemian and laid-back, the North of Ibiza not only includes beautiful unspoilt beaches, it also has an equally stunning scenery with forests of pines and small country roads weaving through the hills.

What group profile would you say is best suited to Northern Ibiza?

The North of Ibiza suits everyone from young edgy bohemians to those wishing to escape from frantic corporate or city lives, to chilled out old timers and ex-hippies. It has a growing group of followers who practice yoga and pilates and the North has also become a mecca for people interested in wellness and good health.

How would you suggest someone spends an ideal summer day in Ibiza?

The morning sun on the Northern coast is best enjoyed while walking one of the many trails that offer sweeping sea views. There are many lunch spots to choose from, whether you want to sit by the sea and enjoy fresh shellfish, or head inland to one of Ibiza’s popular organic restaurants with al fresco dining under the trees. Lunch is a very laid back meal and can take a few hours in Ibiza. Las Dalias hippy market is a great post-lunch place to visit, and is full of artisan Ibizan goodies as well as lots of local character. Finally, head to Benirras beach for the famous sundown festival, with drums and dancing on the beach and a great Ibizan atmosphere to be enjoyed by all.

What is your favourite Ibiza activity on offer?

I like to head to any of the Northern coast beaches and swim in the sea. Cala Nova is always a fun place as the sea is so warm, you can swim for hours and there’s also a lovely seafood restaurant for lunch.

Which are your favourite restaurants in Northern Ibiza?

Inland, I like La Paloma in San Lorenzo, located in a beautiful setting where you can enjoy views over the countryside and scents of citrus whilst enjoying some delicious food, Balafia near Sant Joan, which is ideal for meat eaters as the home grown meat is cooked on the bbq and then combined with delicious salads and Macao Cafe in Santa Gertrudis, for some delicious continental and Italian cuisine.

On the coast, Atzaro Restaurant in Cala Nova, where you can sit back and relax enjoying the chilled atmosphere whilst soaking up the beautiful sea views and Amante Beach Club in above Sol Den Serra beach, near Santa Eularia, which is ideal for enjoying a glass of chilled Champagne accompanied with some Mediterranean cuisine.

Do you have a must try local food/drink when visiting the Island?

The fish is always very fresh. Bullit de Peix is a traditional fish stew which is amazing and a real local delicacy. Local lamb is always very good too, often barbecued with rosemary and olive oil. A must have drink after food is the Hierbas Ibicencas, a local liqueur drunk in a shot glass, which is made and produced in Ibiza using herbs from the island.
