Cala Gracioneta is a beautiful secluded cove, situated just outside of San Antonio. It's well hidden, so head for Cala Gracio (it's touristy big brother) and on foot, follow the rocky headland around and into the next bay. Here you'll find an interesting mixture of locals, but more importantly peace and quiet, fine golden sands, and clear, warm shallow water; ideal for kids learning to snorkel, or adults winding down from the previous night. As if you need another reason to spend the day here, El Chiringuito is an authentic cafe/bar serving seriously good Cava Sangria and the best Paella on the island. Relax under the shade of the trees - eat, drink and enjoy the views!
2K North of San Antonio. You can walk or catch the no.1 bus to Cala Gracio.

For me, choosing which beach to recommend in Spain is so easy it's a joke. On the north coast of the party island Ibiza is one of the most peaceful, idyllic beaches I have ever been to. Situated in a shallow, sheltered cove with cliffs and fishing huts, Cala D'en Serra is only about 20m wide but is absolutely stunning and I've never shared the beach with more than five other people. Chilled perfection!
Just north of Portinatx. Keep an eye out for a sign on the main road that leads you down a dirt track.

I went to a wedding in Ibiza and was blown away by the quality of the event and especially the soundsystem, the best I've heard outside of a club. If you're planning such an event I can't recommend these guys enough. Honest plug for a brilliant sound system.
Space has long been an institution for Ibiza and celebrated its 20th year in the business this year. There's no doubt it's expensive for both entry and drinks but it's an experience you never forget.
on the sundays you get the wonder between five rooms, Carl cox on Tuesday blows everyone else away and don't even get me started on the opening party and closing parties - they are huge.
