Product Description

Product Description

WHEN TO GO

Ibiza and Formentera are at their hottest between June and late September, when cloudless skies are virtually guaranteed. The heat can get intense in July and August, but even at this time of year cooling sea breezes usually intervene to prevent things getting too uncomfortable. Winter in the Pitiuses is pleasantly clement, with very little rainfall, and temperatures (even in January) high enough to enable you to sit comfortably outside a café.

As far as crowds go, there’s a very clearly defined tourist season on both islands that begins slowly in early May, peaks in August, and slowly winds down throughout September. By the end of October, when the last charter flights depart, both Ibiza and Formentera are very quiet, and remain in virtual hibernation until the following year. Winter is a wonderfully peaceful time for a visit, and though you’ll find that only a fraction of the bars and restaurants are open – and just one club, Pacha – it’s an ideal time for an inexpensive break, as hotel and car rental prices plummet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Off the beaten track, 10 Jun 2003
By Andrew SW Strong "Andy" (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book was the ideal companion. For those who have a bit more individuality and go this book is perfect. There are plenty of recommendations of the tucked away and idyllic beaches dotted around the island (which happen to be frequented predominantly by non-British).

Descriptions of places to visit are often amusing with directions along the lines of: "Turn right at the yellow house with shutters, follow the dirt track for 200yds, turn left past some large coniferous trees ...." These usually lead you to some incredible locations which are completely unspoilt.

There is so much more to Ibiza than San Antonio!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not if you are a clubber, 16 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Ibiza is not an island that is thought of as an archetypal cultural hotspot. This guide at least tries to show that there are other sights to see other than the Superclubs, cafes on Sunset Strip and the hundreds of feeder pubs. However, if you are interested in the clubs this guide is also valuable. A good guide for any type of holiday.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, 22 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This guide was excellent, and extremely comprehensive. We went to Ibiza in Sept 2001 for the clubs' closing parties, but managed to hire out a car for a three days and explored the island. You've got to get to Atlantis, an amazing old quarry with weird hippy carvings and to some of the beaches in the north. The restaurants recommended in the RG were also very well chosen - check out Bambuddha Grove for Thai food...mmmmm...

1.0 out of 5 stars Its just extra wieght
This book is not worth buying. It is full packed with useless filler while missing out important information i.e. an extended history and no info on the costs of ferry. Read more
