SpainIn 1990 Ibiza gained entry into the Guinness Book of Records as the entertainment island of the world and club capital of the world. This small island was practically unknown to the world of tourism and sailors: the gate opened in 1960 when it was mentioned in Europe's holiday brochures. Now it is an undeniable magnet for club lovers, attracted by music, beautiful beaches, lively nightlife and legendary tolerance of the islanders.

Despite the invasion of tourists, Ibiza preserves its character and charm, which make it a perfect yacht charter destination. The rural areas are especially picturesque with fields of almonds and figs, olive groves and flocks of sheep. The quiet and peace inland can still go along with wild and loud coastline of the island.
The nightlife is the most fascinating part of the entertainment during sailing vacations in Ibiza. The main action takes place in Calle de la Virgen in the old harbor district, with its bars, fashion boutiques and restaurants. There are 8 major clubs. The most popular are Space, Amnesia, Ocean Beach Club. The biggest of them, Privilege, can host up to 10,000 guests. And every night they have new entertainment: Foam party, Brazilian nights or "Flower Power" balls, etc.
Apart from the clubs, boat rentals in Ibiza will help you to discover it’s main attraction – beaches (over 50), many of which are tucked away in small coves and offer family-friendly facilities and safe bathing. Sailing to southeast coast of Ibiza you will find most popular ones. While the west coast remains one of the island's most stunning areas with pristine waters and remote mountains clad in pine trees.
Another sailing destination in Ibiza is Cola de Boix, relatively deserted beach even during high season, is surrounded by green hills near Punta Prima. If you search for tranquility, sailing vacation in Ibiza may surprise you with its provincial charm in many villages with old stone cottages, where time still moves at a slow pace for many locals.
The capital Ibiza, or Eivissa, was founded in the mid-7th century BC by the Phoenicians, who were attracted by the hilltop site and sheltered harbor. Dalt Vila (Upper Town) is the oldest remaining part of Eivissa and in 1999 was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Portal de ses Taules is a gateway in the city walls, erected in the 16th century, to surround Dalt Vila.
The Modern Art Museum has found its unique location in two underground chambers of the former Arsenal, built in the city walls. Below the city walls is the late 16th century church of Santo Domingo, commonly known as El Convent, with its paintings on the vaulted ceiling, frescoes on the walls and the most impressive Baroque altar.
Sailing to the southern end of Ibiza you will fine saline lowlands. For centuries salt production was the main industry, which provided a large chunk of the islands' income. It is still running, though not at used-to be pace. Scandinavian countries mostly import it for salting fish.
During your sailing trip it is worth visiting these natural saltpans that are essential refuge for the local wild life, especially flamingos, and were known as the "Salt Gardens" in Phoenicians times. They are sheltered by the Serra Grossa hills in the north and by wooded areas of Falo and Corbari in the south.
In 1992 this region was given special protection as a nature reserve. Plata de Salines is Ses Salines' beach and one of the most popular spot, one section of which has been designated for nudists.
