But there is much more to the third largest Balearic Island than just partying all night and sleeping all day. Ibiza Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the island is full of interesting and intriguing things to see and do.

The climate

However you spend your days the big attraction of Ibiza is the amazing weather. It is a great holiday destination all year round thanks to the Mediterranean climate. In the height of summer the sun is hot, hot, hot and nights stay warm and balmy.
