Ibiza in August
Discussion
Hi all, bit of advice needed
I've booked to go to Ibiza last week of August, never been there before.
Basically we stuck a pin in the map ...
So we speak fluent Spanish, have a villa booked, pool and car
We are not interested in clubbing, it's a family holiday
What is there to see or do in Ibiza ? Any ideas would be appreciated
Also, any restaurant recommendations ?

Just got back from a week with my kids. We stayed in a villa in Cala Llonga and toured around a fair bit.
To be honest, we found the whole island much of a muchness in terms of content- beach, small bars, restaurants and shops selling seaside tat. Our favourite part was the marina in Santa Eularia- there's a big open (free) car park (aka field) at the far end of the town which is a hell of a lot easier than trying to find parking in town. Lots of restaurants on the front there and we ate in several of them. We also went to Es Cana and Cala Portinatx. Some great scenery around Portinatx and the snorkeling was fun.
We did go into Ibiza itself for an evening (parking is a nightmare) and it's a s
thole. OK for a boat trip during the day and a wander round the shops at the base of the old city, but not a great vibe when the sun goes down.

Don't want to upset one of the earlier contributors but Ibiza is far from all being much the same! There are so many choices- from the British Family type resorts of Portinaxt and Es Cana, to super places in the country and the very expensive such as Cipriani in Ibiza town
My advice? Avoid San Antonio completely, see the real Ibiza in places such as Cala Xarracca, take a trip to Formentera and see the best beaches this side of the Carribbean, go to Santa Gertrudis in the centre of the island, visit Marina Ibiza to see the mega yachts, go to Cala Nova fo a family friendly beach with surfing for the kids when it's windy and have lunch at Atzaro Beach Club
