Playa d'en Bossa Holidays

There aren’t many places that manage to counterbalance clubbing with a mahoosive beach, but this Balearic Island belter's one of them. Playa d’en Bossa's the San Antonio of Ibiza’s south coast. Its sands are lined with legendary beach bars and clubs. Or, you can go all upmarket in the cocktail bars of Ibiza Town.

Nightlife-wise, you’ve hit the jackpot. Places like Ushuaia and Bora Bora put on parties by the sand, while down-and-dirty Sankeys takes things underground. And the huge Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza has its own beach club here, too. Plus, it only takes 10 minutes in a cab to world-famous Pacha.

Playa d’en Bossa has beach in its name, so it’s no surprise that it’s got the sandy goods. In fact, it has the longest sweep on the whole island. And booze cruises aren’t the only things setting off from the shore. Watersports like paddleboards, kayaks and flyboards are also up for grabs. Or you can join the in-crowd on nearby Playa de Ses Salines.

This place isn’t all party, no substance. It’s family-friendly, too. Drag the kids to the bowling alley and they’ll never want to leave. Once they’ve knocked over the pins, they can move on to the rodeo bull, arcade games and minigolf. A little further out of town, there’s the colourful Aguamar waterpark.
