Benirras beach among the top 20 worldwide
A today’s article on the travel section of the online edition of The Times secures Ibiza beach Benirras a place among the best 20 worldwide beach holiday destination.
Here’s the list you can find on the article:
1 - BENIRRAS, IBIZA
Benirras, in the north of Ibiza, is about as far as you can get from the fevered fleshpots of San Antonio.Here, at the end of a long and winding mountain road, lies a perfect slice of sand, bookmarked by cliffs and overlooking a deep, calm bay. In the 1960s, Benirras became infamous as the scene of drug-fuelled orgies.
Today, it attracts a stylish mix of young Spaniards, Italians and Swedes, though the hippie vibe remains; each day, the mellow sunset is hailed by a chorus of bongo-players. Benirras has been protected from hotel developers, but there are several upmarket villas nearby, including one owned by a DJ, which has six bedrooms, a private pool, a music room and a sundeck.

What’s your favourite beach in Ibiza? Would you have voted for Benirras? Let us know!
Aguas blancas would get my vote!
Es Torrent or Cala Jondal
All depends on what time of year you go…although not a beach the flat rocks take some beating.
Sadly the Guardia Civil are putting a halt to the sunday “Day of the Drums”, and word on the grapevine is that a massive German resort is being built on the over looking hills.
Soon the Island will be just like Majorca… tacky, commercialised, and full of tourists that trash the place.
