November in Ibiza heralded a spectacular Indian summer for those lucky enough to be on the white isle – we’re talking temps in the high 20s, swimming, sunbathing, long lunches on the beach, the lot! But once the sun sinks down behind those green tipped mountains, the temperature also drops, meaning those wanting to celebrate in true Ibiza style need to seek out all-new places to party. Now that summer’s open air bars and restaurants aren’t an option, it seems that all the action takes place Behind Closed Doors…

UK Visitors to Ibiza 2009
From January to September 2009 547,086 passengers visited Ibiza from the UK.
89,128 flew from London Gatwick with the second highest passenger traffic coming from Manchester with 86,339 travelling through the airport.
The third most popular departure airport was London Stansted which is home to an all year round Ryanair flight which has helped the airport see 77,125 departures travel through the airport for Ibiza.
The UK's regional airports also saw a wide spread of passengers departing from Ibiza with a strong presence from the Midlands airports with Birmingham International, East Midlands and Luton accounting for 109,630 passengers. Scotland's airports carried 35,179pasengers.
These figures represent a decrease of -1.4% on the same period last year, a slight decrease which shows that Ibiza is maintaining its market share and has not been hit to the same extent that mainland Spain and other islands have in the last year. Tenerife for instance is currently down 15.9% and Valencia is down 17.2% year on year.
The month by month breakdown betrays Ibiza's current seasonality with over 80% travelling in a four month period from June to September inclusive. Building on 2009's strategic focus the tourist board plans to continue working to extend the season. Increasingly hotels are opening all year round and with the continuation of the Ryanair flight throughout the winter season the destination is now firmly positioning itself as a year round destination.

Ibiza Direct Hotel Bookings for 2010
For 2010 holidaymakers to Ibiza will have a new channel of booking. As direct business continues to grow to the island fuelled by the low cost flight options and the market for small, independently run agroturismos and boutique hotels grows the tourist board has signed a deal with the Hotel Association allowing online accommodation bookings through the website.
The idea behind this is that the new agreement will make Ibiza's accommodation inventory available in the same place as all the information on the island. This will help those searching for accommodation to easily see the most suitable resorts and accommodation options prior to booking.
Customers can book through the website knowing that the accommodation featured is quality assured and has the Associations' seal of approval; this gives customers the added trust factor which can sometimes be missing with online bookings.
The Ibiza Tourist Board website can be found at www.ibiza.travel with the new accommodation from the Hotel Association going live in December 2009.

Trip Advisor Review on Hotel Es Vive
We have been coming to Ibiza for around the last 8 years, and we only discovered Es Vive a couple of years ago... having spent a few nights in their amazing bar, we decided to try it for ourselves as guests. What a great decision that was!!! Had the most amazing holiday ever!!! The friendliest staff I have ever met anywhere in the world, plus a great ambience and the tastiest food, made it a superb time spent in Ibiza....
Seeing some of the other reviews, I can only imagine those people had very bad luck, as everything we experienced was top notch - our room was great - yes we saw some of the smaller roms, but c'mon guys, this is a boutique hotel - they are the same all around the world!! The DJ playing poolside always played the best tunes, and was never annoying. The Experience bar was still rocking as ever, but being a bit older these days, we didn't stay in there too late and were never bothered by the music as other people have mentioned.
We had a great time and we will be back!!!!
