If you want a decent Roast dinner on a Sunday-its amazing how much this fixes you after being on it for x amount of days, then I can say one great place is Smugglers in San An Bay.
Good shout that!

Another top tip. If you want to go to Pacha, eat at the restaurant (pre-book) Will cost you about 80 Euros, and great food, including lots of (restaurant rather than club priced) wine. Afterwards, you just wander into the club, nicely marinated, through the restaurant entrance - no door fee.

So instead of paying 60-80 Euros to get in, you spend 60-80 Euros on a great dinner in their beautiful restaurant, and get in for free.

Bargainacious.

I crashed my rented LR Discovery into a drainage ditch last time I went (2010), kidnapped two guard dogs and took them to Blue Marlin with me, and slept with three women in our villa group, plus a random - the three are no longer talking to me. Also broke my nose twice in two days. Was too lunatic - so didn't go this year.

Will be back in 2012 in a more sensible frame of mind, and not get so addled.
I need to meet up with you in 2012!! haha

Went in 09, ahhh what happy memories...

it IS expensive, but as somebody mentioned you can get tanked up in the west end bars before clubbing(what we did)also some of the 'bar crawls' on offer included free entry into the 2 big clubs by san an bay. so well worth checking whats on, also around the man made beach areas the bars are fairly decent with resonable drink prices.

see my last point for a good bit of day time perving, expect groups of 4-8 sexy women in beachwear passing every 20-40 seconds

we stayed about 5 minutes walk from ibiza rocks in some cheap and abit nasty hotel/hostel thing. not what your after BUT the area had a fair few villas which were used by the party type so only around 20ish mins walk to the bay and plenty of shops etc nearby.

'sunset strip' is quite a nice place to watch the er..sunset smile. its abit of a walk from the bay but walk up the other end of the sunset strip and there was some very swanky bars/restaurants with sun loungers, beds and swimming poools. great place to eat/drink while the sun goes down (cafe mambo was always rammed and everyone would be rooted in until darkness)

as people have said boat parties are a must but do your homework first, my mate got tickets for one with free bar,big name djs etc which all turned out to be lies but it was still good and a great way to see parts of the island we would have missed.there are that many that go on you can afford to be picky.

take abit of extra money than you would for the usual magaluf etc and enjoy, the place is truely amazing and where else can you be partying away with planes only feet above you!

Best bet with that is to buy a takeaway pizza and few bottles, Take a seat on the front and watch the sun go down with the fire dancers etc.

AKA Here:-


Don't even attempt to get into Cafe Mambo/Del Mar, The prices are yikes

Plus if you are somewhere near the photo I posted above, You can still hear the music from Mambo no problem.
