Lets Go To The Beach!

Okay, we know what you’re thinking, everywhere has nice beaches, why Ibiza? And while you’re right, every destination we travel to does have a whole host of beautiful beaches, Ibiza has something special…beach clubs! On your honeymoon, it’s the perfect time to treat yourself and your other half to something a little special and a beach club is the perfect way to do that. Spend the day enjoying good food, listening to some great music and relaxing under the sunshine. There’s plenty of spots to choose from around the island, but here’s some of our favourites.

COTTON BEACH CLUB – Boasting a first-class restaurant, COTTON BEACH CLUB features jaw-dropping views across the Mediterranean and the sandy beach below, clear of seaweed and rocks. The beach club is decked with chic white furnishings, and is the epitome of a classy day out in Ibiza.
El Chiringuito – El Chiringuito is a bohemian-inspired Ibizan beach restaurant, and its food is second to none. The idea is that you’ll feel at home here and the beach club aims to create an authentic experience through its exquisite cuisine and aesthetics of the venue.
Bam Bu Ku – Bam Bu Ku brings a tropical venue to Ibiza’s San Antonio, providing the perfect poolside venue for sunbathing, lunch, cocktails, surfing and shopping. If you’re planning on including your kids on your honeymoon, then this is the perfect beach club for you as kids are the real stars of the show here.

Tasty Treats

For us, a good holiday is definitely determined by how many delicious meals we were able to enjoy, and there’s nothing better than being on holiday and exploring different cuisines in beautiful settings. As part of your honeymoon, we know you’ll want to enjoy some intimate meals together and start off married life the right way, and there’s so many places throughout the island that will offer what you’re looking for whether it be the ultimate luxury experience, a cheap but delicious treat or something that’s suitable for kids too, Ibiza has it all. Here’s some of our favourites…

Tapas Ibiza – This place, as the name suggests, is all about sharing. Tapas is a great way to try lots of tasty dishes without going wild and ordering loads of main meals, unless you want to of course, it is your honeymoon after all! Sharing food with your loved one is a wonderful way to show how much you love them, even when they pinch the last piece of bread.
The Skinny Kitchen – If you’re looking for a healthy spot, we absolutely love The Skinny Kitchen. This place serves up delicious meals that feel like treats but are healthy alternatives to some of our favourite naughty meals. This place is open for brunch and dinner, and the menus? WOW! Think smoothie bowls, flatbreads, burgers, tacos…yes please!
Beachouse – For those of you who want to make your honeymoon a family affair, we’ve taken the liberty of finding a great restaurant that offers top class facilities for kids, while still being enjoyable for adults. Beachouse offers gorgeous dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but its Little Beachouse facility is what makes this place amazing. With island-inspired arts and crafts, children’s yoga, face-painting, games, and more, the littlest ones are free to create, play and enjoy their time with Beachouse just as much as you do.

Hot Hotels

Choosing the perfect hotel for your stay in Ibiza is what’ll make or break your honeymoon. When planning your holiday, the best idea is to make a list of non-negotiables so you can ensure to enjoy every part of your stay. Want to enjoy a couples spa treatment on your honeymoon? We really love the Grand Palladium White Island Resort and Spa. This place ticks every box when it comes to spa treatments and facilities, and we know you’ll love it. The Zentropia Palladium Spa & Wellness will offer a range of sensory experiences, like tropical showers, ice-cold pools and hot tubs. The treatments are impressive, too – choose from soothing massages, petal baths, and moisturising body scrubs.

If you and your now husband or wife just love to party, then Vibra District is a great hotel choice. This place lands you in the centre of San Antonio’s best bits, with the beach and the El Paradis nightclub just five minutes’ walk away. You can’t get any closer to the action than at this adults-only hotel. It’s right next to the well-known ‘egg’ roundabout, and has some great facilities. The pool’s a long, rectangular number. It sits on an elevated terrace, so it gets plenty of sun, and there’s a bar nearby to keep you topped up with drinks throughout the day.

Our top recommendation for a family friendly hotel for your honeymoon in Ibiza is none other than Holiday Village Seaview Ibiza. If you’ve stayed in a Holiday Village hotel before, you’ll know they blow the competition out of the water when it comes to family-friendly facilities. The headliner here’s the waterpark, which packs in adrenaline-pumping slides and a pirate-themed splash area. If you’d prefer to stay dry, there’s also an Aerial Adventure course and expert-led academies for kids. Of course, you are on your honeymoon and do deserve a little slice of luxury for the adults, so why not upgrade to a swim-up family suite, too.

Explore The Beautiful Island

Besides all the obvious reasons to travel to Ibiza, i.e the clubs and parties, the island has so many other beautiful things to explore which just have to be on your honeymoon itinerary. One of the top things we recommend you do to kick off your married life the right way is a boat trip around the island. You can either choose a party boat, where you can sail around enjoying good music and great drinks, or you can go for a more peaceful vibe. Why not hire a yacht or catamaran with your loved one and take in the beauty of an Ibizan sunset from the calming waters.

Es Vedra is another wonderfully romantic spot that you should definitely check out on your Ibiza honeymoon. Es Vedrà is a small rocky island off the south western coast of Ibiza and there are a few ancient myths around the island. It was thought to be home to the Sirens of Greek mythology, who lured sailors to their death with song causing them to shipwreck. It has also been suggested that it is the birthplace of the goddess Tanit, a deity introduced by the once occupying Phoenicians, whose statue you will see all across Ibiza. But besides the history, this is a beautiful spot to head to and enjoy a sunrise or sunset with your partner.

Ibiza is quite a small island, so that means exploring every corner is quite easy to do. One of our favourite ways to do this is by hiring a car! This gives you the freedom to explore the island at your own pace and make sure you can tick off all the sites you really want to see. No matter where you stay on the island, we definitely recommend that you do a bit of travelling around so you can make the most of your visit to Ibiza. We recommend you plot out different places you’d like to visit on a map then make a plan of which ones you can do in the same day to make the journey more seamless.

Party People

Of course, one of the main attractions about Ibiza is its amazing party scene, and if that’s what you want your honeymoon to be filled with, then you’ve picked the right place to visit! Whether you’re into the party all night vibe or prefer relaxing cocktails while listening to good music, there’s plenty of spots in Ibiza that’ll take your fancy. For a daytime drinks party with legendary DJs, there’s no better place to head to than O Beach Ibiza. Its reputation precedes itself and if you’re looking to splash the cash, and celebrate in true luxury, then this is a safe bet. O Beach Ibiza offers a couple of celebration packages, as well as its daybed rates. By choosing a celebration package, you can get your hands on a delicious bottle of bubbly and a celebration board to kick off the party in the right way.

As the sun begins to go down, there’s one favourite place on the island that partygoers flock to – Cafe Mambo. This place boasts one of the best views of the sunset than anywhere else on the island and the vibes are unmatched. Plus, it’s pretty romantic too. Imagine being sat with your new partner for life, holding hands and enjoying tasty drinks, as the sun sets in the horizon with the rays reflecting off the sea…sounds like something from a movie! Throughout the evening, DJs take to the decks at Cafe Mambo and play plenty of tunes to keep the party going, plus you can grab a bite to eat too so you can refuel for the evening that follows.

As a true party lover in Ibiza, there’s only one place that you should be ending your evening and that’s in Ushuaïa Ibiza. It’s the world’s number one outdoor club, and is one of Ibiza’s super clubs so you know your night is going to be nothing short of amazing. One of our favourite things about Ushuaïa Ibiza is that it’s very close to the airport, so as you’re partying away, planes will be taking off and landing at Ibiza airport and they fly directly above the fantastic outdoor stage. What a memory to make with your other half, dancing away under the star-lit night sky as a plane flies overhead, it’ll be a honeymoon to remember for sure!
