History

Archaeological excavations of recent time have proven that already more than 3000 years ago a civilization had settled in Ibiza and Formentera. On Formentera a tomb was found, which dates back to 1.600 B.C. In San Antonio one can visit the cave paintings of Ses Fontanelles which date back to the year 800 B.C. In San Juan and San Agustin they found axes and bronze disks (700 B.C.), witness for early settling. For the Phoenicians Ibiza was a magic island, blessed by the Gods, because the rich red soil was not volcanic and there was nothing around that could be of danger to humans. Still today there are people that carry flasks filled with this earth as lucky charms, to protect themselves against all evils.

"Ibiza will be the last shelter on earth" prophesized Nostradamus. If one believes the fortune telling of this French astrologist and physician, who lived in the 15th. century, then Ibiza, thanks to its special wind streams, would be the only place on earth where life will continue existing after a worldwide nuclear catastrophe.

The island Es Vedrá protrudes like a pre-historic monster out of the water and there is little that grows on it. Don Francisco Palau, a Carmelita priest and founder of the convent of Es Cubells, while he meditated there, he made some extraordinary appointments of inexplicable features and meetings of "aliens" surrounded by light. Enormous circles of light, of up to 50 m diameters, which shine up from the depths of the sea, keep even the bravest fisherman away from that area. It is believed that there are strong magnetic fields on Es Vedrá, and these are responsible for these unexplainable phenomena’s.

It is no secret, that Ibiza has the highest concentration of international artist living on such a small place. They found inspiration and fulfilment in the simple aesthetic and very enriching ibizencan way of live. "Tranquilo", one of the most used words of the Ibicencos, basically says "live in peace and harmony with yourself and nature”.

Beaches

No matter where you are on the island, especially when you are cruising around by car: there is always some wonderful sand beach or fissured small bay near by! Even in the high season, July and August, you can still find a lonely paradise in one of the small rock bays, with a strip of white sand and crystal-clear water to swim and sunbathe. With a little luck you will be there all alone. Ibiza’s beaches are the cleanest of the whole Mediterranean area and are regularly every year distinguished with the blue flag by the EU.

Let yourself be spoiled and enjoy the fresh fish served at one of the numerous beach restaurants. During the warm summer nights many are open even past sun set. Experience glamour and romantic during a dinner under the stars, have a walk under the moonlight on an empty beach and enjoy a warm swim in the glittering dark sea. To finish off, try one of the delicious local liquors and remember this as one of the most beautiful moments of your holiday.
