I told you at the beginning of summer that this year there is a Mallorca version of Ibiza Rocks but I realized that I didn't even talk about Ibiza Rocks 2010. For those who still wonder : yes of course there is still an Ibiza Rocks Festival and it even lasts a little bit longer than the Mallorca one: you can enjoy live concerts until the 14th of September. That means that you have until the 14th of September to book an Ibiza hotel or an Ibiza apartment and buy your tickets for the group of your choice!

During these 3 months, you can enjoy live concert of top international bands like the Prodigy, Florence and the Machine, Dizze Rascal, or Calvin Harris. These events take place in the Ibiza Rocks Hotel every Tuesday.

Ibiza, the Island of both faces

Ibiza, the White Island, is the most Southern island the Balearic Islands. It did not wait for hippies to be popular. Since Carthaginian, It has kept on seducing. It is the third Island by the size of the archipelago and has kept on attracting the greed of the sailors and aroused the emotion of all those who discover its white silhouette since the sea.
Ibiza is the island with both faces: the serenity when the appearance has no importance, gets at night in eccentricity animated by the popular actresses, the sportsmen of good name, the curious, the swindlers, the Peeping Toms.
Ibiza is the island of the rest and the tranquility, in the daytime, with itspicturesque villages and its quiet creeks, its steep rocky coasts, its bays of crystalline water, its hills strewed with pines, its small square and calm white houses. Ibiza is the island of the temptation at night: it is considered as being the paradise of night birds, meeting place of the ' jet set '.
Ibiza is very full of life in its sparkling night-life in the old centre of Eivissa or towards San Antonio, with its bars, restaurants and its discotheques.

There is a vast choice of accommodation to choose from, ranging from five star hotels and sophisticated, modern hotel complexes to basic yet comfortable properties, with last minute offers, all inclusive properties, family clubs, comfortable hostels or hotels for business delegates.

Ibiza is full of wealth and things to do (or not to do!!!). If relaxing on the beach is more your thing then you won't be disappointed by a holiday in Ibiza. The soft white sands and dazzling blue sea instantly relax you and if you slip into an afternoon snooze you'll be dreaming of being on your own desert island.
