SINFUL PLEASURES: Fork out the cash for a day bed at a beach club. Try the new Nikki Beach in San Antonio.

Ibiza, it happened. I've finally conquered every ageing party-goers dream and lived to tell the tales.

My carefree twenties are sprinting away and what kind of quarter-lifer would I be to deny my Ibiza FOMO any longer?

At least that's what I told myself when I booked a flight to the world capital of getting completely effing wasted.

If you're an avid traveller like me, you'll agree that only a couple of places in the world are frightening war zones for one, Surfer's Paradise for another, and then there's this tiny little Spanish Island called Ibiza.

If I'm honest, the thought of 24/7 revelry makes me slightly nauseous. It's not that I'm a Nanna when it comes to partying, but I'm not exactly a dedicated daily club-goer either.

And between the quizzical looks, raised eyebrows and fist-pumps from friends after informing them of my crazy summer travel plans, I must admit I was a little more than intrigued.

Would Ibiza be a dirty cesspit of full-time hedonists like so many people describe? Would I get the opportunity to have some good, clean fun and a (somewhat) classy time during my visit or would it be a veritable la-la-land of sex, drugs and 'fully sick' house music?

Well, as my trip draws to an end and I lay here reflecting on my experience while sipping on Sangria I may need to take out a loan for, I can say that Ibiza definitely lives up to its reputation good and bad.

Hotter than Ibiza! Thousands flock to Bournemouth for sizzling sunshine

THOUSANDS flocked to beaches across Dorset this weekend thanks to sizzling temperatures making the county hotter than Ibiza.

Seafronts in Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch were packed with people making the most of the fine spring weather as the area recorded over 21 degrees C.

Temperatures over the weekend were also slightly higher than popular holiday resorts in the Canary Islands and gave hotspots Nice and Barcelona a run for their money.

Both Saturday and Sunday saw glorious sunshine, with bustling beaches, swamped sands and hotels brimming with guests.

Queues for ice creams stretched along the seafront near Bournemouth Pier, with car parks packed and roads busy but moving all weekend.

Georgie Rayment, 19, was visiting Bournemouth beach on Sunday for the day with friend Hayley Howlett, 18.

She said: We always come to Bournemouth beach. It's a beautiful day today.

4:52pm, Sat 17 May 2014 Britain to bask in hottest day of the year so far Last updated Mon 19 May 2014

Britons flocked to parks and beaches as the hottest temperature of the year so far was recorded.

The mercury rose to 23.9C (74.66F) in Santon Downham in Suffolk, beating yesterday's high of 23.7C (75.02F) recorded in Pershore College in Worcestershire.

Today's sunny weather meant the UK was warmer than Athens and Rome, which both had temperatures of 21C (69.8F) recorded.

Forecasters said tomorrow could be even warmer and reach 25C (77F), with bookmakers slashing their odds to just 4/7 that it will reach 26C (80F).

"The skies are bright blue and there's not a cloud in sight - why would you want to be anywhere else in the world?"
