Ibiza Time! Clubbers Guide to San Antonio 2013

Sponsored post by 344 Central Park Apartments

Ibiza is the centre of the clubbing universe. As thousands of visitors to this tiny little Balearic Island will tell you, it’s not a holiday, it’s a pilgrimage. The world’s best DJs, hottest clubs, most V of VIP areas – the spirit of Ibiza is strong, and you could be at the centre of it all this summer. 

Where to stay? 

San Antonio is the heartbeat of Ibiza. From here you can walk up to the West End, make every sunset on the strip, lounge on the beach in Central Park Apartments and hit the hottest bars and clubs. There aren’t many better hotels for location than Central Park Apartments – from here you’ll have the best of San Antonio on your doorstep. 

Have a West End story 

The West End is San Antonio’s nightlife district. A sprawling avenue of raucous bars sloping downhill into the harbour. It’s definitely the most “18 to 30’s” spot in Ibiza but the rest of the White Isle can be a bit pricey so save some Euros with pre-club drinks up this end of town. Head to Hush, a sultry mini-club where a mainly British crowd let loose. 

Sunset strip, not to be missed 

Every evening crowds gather on the rocks of sunset strip and applaud the setting of the sun over the horizon to the soundtrack of chill-out music. The wave of applause that makes its way across the crowd as day turns into night is an Ibizan ritual you won’t want to miss. 

Cafe Mambo on the strip is often the pre-party for some of the biggest DJs. You can see the likes of Pete Tong, Erick Morillo, Erick Priydz and Laidback Luke for free. As with Cafe del Mar drinks aren’t cheap so either shell out or bring your own and enjoy them on the beach. 

Visit Eden 

Eden with its distinctive golden globe roof is the premier club in San Antonio. Spread over two floors the 13 bars, two VIP rooms and chill out room house some of the biggest crowd-pleases on the Island. Tiesto, Judge Jules, Tall Paul, Oliver Lang and Stanton Warriors all grace the decks to packed dance-floors. 

Experience Es Paradis 

A stone’s throw from Eden is Es Paradis. Typically Mediterranean and breathtakingly beautiful the defining feature is a pyramid roof that opens to the light of dawn. Unique to Es Paradis are the Friday water parties - they really need to be seen to be believed! 

So, for all Ibiza has to offer stay in San Antonio and make summer 2013 one to remember!

Vintage Photos

{ Eiffel Tower, Paris }

As I was going through my computer files a little while ago, I stumbled across these pics I took a while back from my European travels. Though not actually vintage, I edited them to look like historical photos. I think it brings such character to certain images... Don't you just love the look of old shots?.. Happy Weekend :-)

A Beautiful Melancholy

A foggy dawn outside my window in Konstanz, Germany

Isn't it funny how something can look so somber and melancholic yet so beautifully serene and peaceful at the same time?  I've always been drawn to this sort of thing for whatever reason. Have a fun and blessed summer weekend everyone !

I Want Gelato!

I'm so craving a raspberry gelato right now! The ones that are all fruit and no milk. If I could just fly over to Santini's gelateria and buy 2 cones with 4 scoops. It may be in Cascais, Portugal but it's 100% authentic Italian gelato and no trip is complete without it! I wish I could have some right now.. Anybody else wanting gelato now that summer is here, or is it just me?

Santorini Bliss

Some pics and excerpt from my Greek Isle feature for Vécu mag's May issue in case you missed it! 

"Santorini, you are everything people say you are. From your black sand beaches at Perissa to Fira's glowing caldera & all the way to Oia, where seemingly hundreds, maybe even thousands of people line up along the walls and streets every evening to watch those surreal sunsets you're so famous for. You gave me a real run for my money riding up that cliffside on a donkey that got ever-so-close to the edge, lol, but once at the top, it was so worth that view few other places in the world can match. So Santorini, I will see your dreamy landscapes and beaches again, sooner rather than later, only this time I'll make sure to bring a hot little honey with me.. you know, for entertainment purposes :-) ."
