description: These beautiful Spanish islands lying in the Mediterranean have acquired a reputation for mass tourism and raucous beach holidays. This is certainly on offer to those who want it, but delve beneath the surface and you will discover why successive generations of travellers have convened on these islands and why members of the glitterati, artists and the wealthy call them home. Elvissa, the capital, is a cosmopolitan town that boasts the hugely impressive walled town of Dalt Vila. Sant Antoni is the centre of the clubbing scene and is a town that never sleeps. Visitors looking for solitude are drawn to the pine-forested hills of Els Amunts and Sant Josep, whilst the lime-washed villages that dot the island remind us that the historical and cultural heart of Ibiza remains alive and well. Formentera is a much quieter and traditional island to the south. Both islands offer golden beaches and a year-round Mediterranean climate. Ibiza and Formentera's highlights for the traveller beaches - despite the development of mass tourism, Ibiza still boasts some of the best in Europe; exploring the walled city of Dalt Vila, a world heritage site; finding the 'real Ibiza' in the lime-washed villages of the interior; getting away from it all in the wooded hills of Els Amunts and Sant Josep; experiencing the buzzing nightlife of Elvissa and Sant Antoni; and, visiting Formentera for a more tranquil Balearic experience.
