Ibiza

Ibiza is not just a holiday destination; for me it's a lifestyle. I've been going there for more than two decades and I never tire of the island. For me, everything doesn't always have to be planned out on holiday. I just follow the flow and watch where it takes me day by day. It's not for nothing that my motto in life is: Live life to the fullest and have fun doing it! That's exactly what I enjoy on the Mediterranean island. As a hotel expert, I am asked time and again which accommodation on Ibiza is recommendable. I don't have to think long. My insider tip is the Atzaro. The complex blends beautifully with the natural surroundings. The spa area is ideal to find a little relaxation for body and mind. My second tip is the Cas Gasi. The Spanish finca has a family charm.

Ibiza is not just a holiday destination. It is a lifestyle

There are many restaurants serving Spanish tapas and fish dishes in Ibiza. I myself have two favourites where other island lovers regularly find me. I often spend a relaxing evening at the La Paloma. Beauty is not only important to me in my job: the ambience in restaurants is also important. And that's true at La Paloma. My second favorite restaurant is the Balafia. This is a typical Spanish restaurant. Meat from the grill or a light salad - almost everyone will find what they are looking for on the menu. The idyllic, lovingly landscaped garden is my personal highlight of every visit. But the perfect evening for me doesn't end comfortably with a glass of wine at one of these places. Because: I have to dance and that exuberantly until the early hours of the morning. I find relaxation from an eventful evening before with my morning yoga. I love the lingering dynamic of the sport, which lasts almost the whole day.
