You can see it from parts of Ibiza on a clear day, yet stepping ashore in Formentera can feel like arriving somewhere entirely different.

In Ibiza, what you wear can change almost as quickly as your plans. A morning by the sea can lead into a long lunch, sunset drinks and, eventually, a night on the dancefloor. The Pacha Collection has built its latest fashion offering around precisely that idea, creating a wardrobe designed to move between the different sides of island life.

When most travellers hear the word Ibiza, images of turquoise coves, sunset terraces and world-famous nightlife are likely to come to mind. Yet long before the island became an international holiday destination, its name had already travelled through languages, religions and empires for more than two thousand years.

Is Ibiza worth visiting if you do not like partying? Absolutely. Nightlife may be the island's most internationally famous attraction, but Ibiza offers much more than clubs and DJs. Turquoise coves, Mediterranean cuisine, centuries of history, whitewashed villages and beautiful hiking and cycling routes make the island an appealing destination even for travellers with no interest in its party…

Scenic ascents, technical descents and panoramic sea views are never far away, while the island's year-round mild climate means there is rarely a bad time to hit the trails.

The bay of Sant Antoni de Portmany is once again one of the most attractive spots this summer for those looking to eat well, enjoy the sea and stretch the day into the evening with good music and atmosphere. This is where Monkey Ibiza and Bambino Ibiza are located, two venues from Grupo Monkey Ibiza that share privileged views, a carefully curated culinary proposal and a way of understanding…

Ses Illetes is one of Formentera’s most sought-after beaches. Its incredible turquoise waters, the striking landscape that surrounds it and the peaceful atmosphere of this stretch of coast make it a dream destination for people from all over the world. It is here, in the heart of the Natural Park, that Es Ministre is located: a perfect refuge for surrendering to the flavours, aromas and textures…
