May will soon be here and Ibiza will be ready. The Johannesburg Times Deals with Travel routes and costs to Ibiza.
Q: We are travelling on a tight budget and would like to go from Barcelona to Ibiza in early July. What would a flight cost? Is there a ferry service that travels overnight (saving the cost of a hotel room)? If so, please advise us on schedules, prices and how to book. - Sam Ellison
A: If you check www.skyscanner.net, you can find details of low-cost carriers on this route. They include Iberia, Spanair and Vueling. The cheapest ticket I could find for early July was à60 (about R590) per person. The flight takes 55 minutes. The two main ferry operators from Barcelona to Ibiza are Balearia Ferries and Trasmediterranea. The journey takes around eight hours. The most cost-effective journey for you would be the overnight crossing, which leaves at 11pm and arrives in Ibiza at 7am.
I did a test booking for a one-way journey for two passengers in economy seats in early July with Trasmediterranea. The fare for a Friday departure was à67 per person, while a Sunday night fare was à47 per person. You can get further details on www.directferries.com or www.aferry.com.

Ibiza Party Hotel Goes 'Til 6 In Tha Morning
[Photo: winehands]
If you are going to Ibiza, then let's face the facts, you are probably looking for a party hotel.
Figueretas is one of the quieter spots on the island, about a mile from Ibiza town, however Figueretas Es Vive Hotel and the all out pool parties they throw are not for those seeking relaxation.
This is the kind of place you stay when you want to pre-party, go clubbing with gaggles of hotel mates, then post party back at the hotel.
By day the Es Vive pool is packed with bikini clad all night revelers in recovery mode and by about 3am the hotel party begins to take hold. A Smirnoff bar and an onsite DJ help the club kids along.
Don't book one of the 55 Ikea clad rooms expecting rest and relaxation, and it goes without saying you best be looking elsewhere if you are on a family holiday. If you really want to impress your fellow clubbers, book one of the two corner suites--huge showers, multiple balconies, and an ocean view.

Cool, Chilled Out Hotel in Ibiza
A few years ago a group of young entrepreneurs realized that Ibiza , the island that had everything except ‘cold' snow, was missing something? The finest clubs in Europe, dozens of the finest beaches to be found in the Mediterranean and the option to party 24/7, back to back, for as long as you could stay standing – what could possibly be missing? The answer was “a place to crash out that matched the class and style of the rest of the island action…”
So ‘Es Vivé' was born and Ibiza, which is not renowned for quality hotels, stood back and watched as the island was introduced to the concept of a cool, chilled out, laid back clubber's paradise.
The hotel is conveniently located at C/. Carlos Román Ferrer 8, in the Figueretas area, about a mile west of the centre of Ibiza town.
It is well hidden from the road outside, but as you enter the huge decked terrace surrounding the beautiful pool and settle into one of the sturdy wooden sun loungers – then find yourself drifting off into memories of last night and anticipations of forthcoming fun as the thick mattress absorbs you – you realize that this truly is the definition of cool in the middle of the big city…
With funky ambient music and crazy art-deco style lapping at your senses, while the attentive staff pander to your every whim with exotic suggestions to both tempt and sate your appetite, you know that you really have arrived – and the only reason that you'll be tempted to leave is to be able to return again?
