oo ..flashback..... not been to Ibiza for about 10 years! Used to go at least twice a year many moons ago ! Grin Can't give much advice as its probably changed loads.

Ibiza. Like CD says, the east is nice and so is Ibiza town. Love it there, though not been for about 5 years. Spook will obviously know it better than most.

Hello love. Go t Ibiza and take me with you.

i'd say ibiza every time but you mentioned the word quiet so we'd be going for very different reasons!

But clubs aside Ibiza is a beautiful island babes and if i ever gave up dancing my socks off all night I'd still choose Ibiza.

Port Andratx (Majorca) is quiet and relaxing, expensive though (lots of very wealthy Germans). Most beaches on Majorca and Ibiza offer watersports.
