BEST FOR GOING OUT
There's only one place to be when clubbing in Ibiza on a...
Saturday: Go to BoHo for the club night Swankys and you'll find yourself surrounded by Adonis-like men and you can dance the night away to funky house tunes. Mind your step when walking around though as it's split into many different levels. Pre-clubbing, head to Linekers Bar - their Sunset Session with discounted drinks runs from 6-10pm every night and music is spun by special guest DJs.
What to wear: Floral dress, gold gladiator sandals and an oversized clutch.

Sunday: Judgement Sundays with Judge Jules of course! Eden is in its 10th year of hosting the world-famous night and you'd be crazy to miss it. The Radio 1 DJ mixes tunes while his troop of dancers and acrobats keep you entertained.
What to wear: Cut-off denim shorts, an embellished top, black woven sandals, silver jewellery.

Monday: Pacha people know how to throw a party. On Mondays, the spacious club is taken over by the Swedish House Mafia playing their mix of hard and electro house. There are a number of different rooms in the club, each with its own unique feel, so make sure you go exploring.
What to wear: Black dress, black woven sandals, multi-chain gold necklace.

BEST FOR EATING
Kasbah:
If you're craving some British grub, try Kasbah, where they provide modern English fusion cuisine. It's also one of the best places on the island to view a famous Ibiza sunset.

Blue Marlin: A fantastic beach restaurant and bar where you can choose from scrumptious Mediterranean and Asian-style food. The chilled-out atmosphere is created by melodic tunes being played - and it's a favourite of Kate Moss.

TOP TIP:
Ibiza has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world but you won't have time to visit them all on a weekend stay.

If you go to just one, make sure it's Bora Bora, where you can take your own picnic and music starts playing from 4.30pm. Look out for cheap tickets and deals for clubs such as Pacha and Amnesia that are sold throughout the day.
