Mondays: Party in the DC-10
Who says that Mondays have to be dull events? At DC-10, the legendary club with its red walls, it's party time every Monday. Here, people party outside in the garden until midnight. And thanks to its proximity to the airport, it's in pole position for plane spotters. After midnight, the party continues inside. Although it gets hot every day of the week, it's Monday with its Circoloco party that is notorious. One of the undisputed must-dos on Ibiza!

A trip to Formentera is always worthwhile. Especially by boat. But the experience is even better if you book the Ibiza Boat Club for your trip. This is basically a floating beach club with daybeds, food and drink and good music. You travel around on a glamorous catamaran.
Hiking on Es Vedrá

The rocky island, which rises around 400 meters out of the sea, is a magical place. It's not only surrounded by numerous myths and legends, it also has a special appeal for outdoor enthusiasts. You can get there by boat or kayak. It's a nature reserve and you should therefore be particularly considerate when roaming the island. The rare ibizan wall lizards and the endangered Eleonora's falcon live here.
Dinner at Cabaret Lío

Barflys already know the Lío brand from its branches on Mykonos, in London and, most recently, also on Mallorca. Of course, Lío Ibiza offers everything its sisters have: shows, art, clubbing and gastronomy. The evening begins as a restaurant and bar with cabaret, and at night the scene changes to a club. The ambience is great and the performances are sometimes spectacular. And the location? It's directly on the Marina Ibiza with a view of the old town.

The city of Ibiza has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site for 25 years. When visiting the old town, you should also visit the best-preserved coastal fortress in the Mediterranean. Acropolis of Dalt Vila is an outstanding example of military architecture from the Renaissance period. In addition to insights into history, there are also events and concerts here throughout the year. The Castle of Ibiza and the cathedral are also located within the acropolis.

You'll find the oldest cemetery on the island on a hill in the center of today's city of Ibiza. This is where the inhabitants of the ancient Phoenician-Punic city of Ebusus found their final resting place. Today, a large and varied collection of historical artifacts can be admired here.

Ibiza wants to preserve its cultural heritage. That's why there are expansion plans for the archaeological site of sa Caleta. It's also part of the World Heritage Site. A large archaeological park will soon open here, where travelers can view finds and visit the interpretation center. They'll learn more about the Phoenicians and the settlement of the island. There are also plans to open an educational park for children this year.
Snorkeling over Posidonia meadows

One reason for Ibiza's inclusion by the UNESCO committee was the island's diversity. This includes the wealth of Posidonia marine plants. There are 220 different species of them in the Balearic waters. The underwater meadows extend for up to 15 kilometers. Parts of it are up to 100,000 years old. Because the plants can bind more than 15 times as much carbon as plants on land, they are an important factor for the ecosystem.
