Ibiza hotels – Book hotels in Ibiza at Hotels.com

Ibiza Hotels Ibiza is an island of contrasts, from areas where the party never stops, to small, winding streets full of quaint restaurants, theres a place to suit every kind of tourist. The clubs are legendary, with pounding music, bright lights, and even foam parties going on until dawn, with the parties often moving to the pools and beaches. However, there are also plenty of quiet resorts full of the traditional white buildings and golden sandy beaches that make Ibiza such a paradise. Figueretas Beach is a sandy beach with sparkling turquoise waters and palm trees, and along the beachfront youll find many stylish hotels and apartments. Theres also a palm-tree lined promenade which is host to several bars and restaurants, many of which have tables outside so you can enjoy a glass of wine while looking out at the ocean. Figueretas is also an interesting small town to explore, with arts and crafts stalls lining the streets, quirky gift shops, and laidback bars. The Port of Ibiza is surrounded by the traditional white houses the island is famous for, and youll see fishing boats, yachts, and cruise ships pulling in to spend time here. Its a historic area with Roman, Arabic, and Catalan influenced architectural styles, and plenty of museums and cultural events to keep you entertained. A short walk from the port youll also find Ibiza Castle which sits atop a hill overlooking the bay. Here youll get an excellent view of Ibiza Town, and can explore the small, hilly streets that lead up to the castle, with cozy restaurants and bars that are lit up at night. Close to Ibiza Town theres also the popular Talamanca Beach which is a long, family-friendly stretch of shore with shallow waters where you can paddle, play games, and hire small boats. Hotels in Ibiza A lot of visitors to the island are looking for cheap Ibiza hotels, and there are lots of budget apartments and guesthouses close to the beach. Rooms often have air-conditioning, with extra amenities such as balconies, satellite television, kitchenettes, bathtubs, bidets, and sofa beds. Most hotels also have plenty of extra features to help you make the most of your stay, and these could include outdoor pools, childrens pools, restaurants, bars, concierge services, currency exchanges, and game rooms. Where to stay Ibiza has several areas that are lively and full of clubbers, as well as quieter beach resorts that are perfect for families. San Antonio is known as the clubbing capital of the world, with the narrow streets lit by neon at night, and promoters trying to tempt you into the wide range of clubs. Many of the resorts here cater to the younger crowd, and youll often find parties on the beach and around the pool even during daylight hours. Areas such as Playa d'en Bossa are quieter, yet still have some great upmarket resorts, and the unspoiled beaches and traditional white houses make this a charming and quaint area. How to get to Ibiza Ibiza Airport is 5 miles southwest of Ibiza Town, with dozens of flights arriving from around Europe on a daily basis. From the terminal there are lots of private shuttles for the hotels and resorts, as well as plenty of taxis that can be booked in advance or picked up from the rank. There are also rental cars and mopeds available, and you can drive the length of the island in less than an hour. Theres also a public bus service that runs from outside the airport to the major resorts on the island, giving you a cheap way to get around.

Nightlife Agenda: DC Braus anniversary, August Alsina and champion DJs

Every Tuesday, the Going Out Guide staff highlights the week's best DJs, bands, dance nights and parties.

Tuesday, April 15 It seems hard to believe, but three years ago, Washington didn't have a single production brewery. Then DC Brau arrived, quickly becoming ubiquitous at bars all over town. Though the brewery is best known for its hoppy Citizen and Corruption ales, dozens of beers have come out of the Bladensburg Road brewery, from light golden ales to rich Belgian ales aged in whiskey barrels. The full range of Brau will be available Tuesday night at Meridian Pint, the Columbia Heights beer bar where DC Brau was unveiled back in 2011. "Core" beers - Public, Citizen and Corruption - will be $3 all night for the third anniversary, but the real attraction will be a range of rare and vintage beers on tap, including Natas, a Belgian-style imperial stout made with Baltimore's Stillwater Ales; a version of the strong Heurich's Lager aged in barrels that have held maple syrup and rye whiskey; and Brainless Corruption, an extra-hoppy Belgian IPA made in collaboration with Utah's Epic Brewing Company. Doors open at 5 p.m., and some beers will be in very limited quantities.

Over the course of seven albums, the Black Lips have remained a remarkably consistent (and great) garage rock band. They've lost a bit of the hazy '60s fuzzy over the years -- on their new record, they occasionally channel the circa-1970s Rolling Stones instead of the "Nuggets" box set -- but still deliver perfectly ramshackle rock and roll. They visit the Black Cat with Natural Child.

Wednesday, April 16 Even longtime D.C. residents frequently overlook the city's Emancipation Day celebrations, which mark the day in 1862 when President Abraham Lincoln signed the Compensation Emancipation Act, which freed all slaves in Washington. (Nine months later, Lincoln signed the more well-known Emancipation Proclamation.) Whatever your knowledge of the holiday's history, it's hard to ignore the city's free Emancipation Day Concert at Freedom Plaza, which is stocked with talent: Hip-hop pioneer Doug E. Fresh, conscious rapper Talib Kweli, party-rocking DJ Kool of "Let Me Clear My Throat" fame, rapper and poet J. Ivy, and go-go/funk/R&B ensemble Black Alley. Vendors will be on hand to provide food and drink.

Singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright is an artist who always follows his muse, whether that's recording clever, romantic cabaret tunes, recreating Judy Garland's legendary 1961 Carnegie Hall concert or, as on his latest album, working with superproducer Mark Ronson to create a collection of poppy 21st-century Yacht Rock songs. With so much great material, every Wainwright concert is basically a "Best of" album, so the audience at the Lincoln Theatre is in for a treat.

The future of the Corcoran Gallery of Art may still be shrouded in mystery, but its popular events and happy hours continue as usual. This month's Corcoran Uncorked is all about the future: "Best & Brightest" features performance art by three Corcoran students being featured in the current "NEXT 2014" exhibit, which collects the work of 148 students graduating from the College of Art and Design; live music from up-and-coming synthpop group Pleasure Curses and '80s-style pop group Furniteur (which features members of Brett); and samples of new cocktails at the Muse cafe. Tickets also include tours of three current Corcoran exhibits.

Thursday, April 17 New Orleans singer August Alsina is making a fairly serious bid for the mantle of "Sensitive R&B Thug" with his debut album "Testimony." Alsina has become famous for radio hits featuring Trinidad James and Jeezy, but "Testimony" mostly eschews party anthems for tender piano-led tracks or mid-tempo ballads warning about life on the streets. Even "Benediction," an uplifting track featuring a verse from Rick Ross, finds Alsina confessing "So many nights I tried / to hide how I felt, I would cry inside / And I ran through the streets till my feet got tired / 'Cause I ain't wanna have my shoes on them power lines.") Alsina marks this week's release of "Testimony" with a special appearance at the Park at 14th, where he'll perform live and host the party alongside DJ Quicksilva, beginning at 6 p.m.

The revival of the Howard Theatre and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the future of the Lincoln Theatre may have pushed the latter off the radar for concertgoers. Stephen Marley is a great reason to check out that space out again. Marley manages to distinguish himself among a large group of accomplished Marley progeny, whether it's his contributions to his brother Damien "Jr. Gong"'s Grammy-winning projects or his own equally celebrated solo releases. As one of the elder siblings of the Marley clan, Stephen's music is more at the roots end of the reggae spectrum, which is a great fit for the Lincoln Theatre's historic role on Washington's Black Broadway.

We're only a month or so away from beach season. If you're not already thinking about Memorial Day, you may be after Thursday night. Mason Inn is hosting a night with Burnt Sienna, the Philadelphia rock band known for performing covers at Dewey Beach's Lighthouse and Rusty Rudder and Ocean City's Seacrets, among other venues. The group takes the stage at 9 p.m. and there's no cover charge.

Every festival will be unique, with stages individually designed, but each will have the look and feel of the magical isle of Ibiza, with slightly different line ups that also include the cream local DJs by country.

We aim to top this off with not only spectacular locations but also incredible production values. For us to meet someone like Marcel Avram who had the same vision is a dream come true. This is why ISLE OF DREAMS was our obvious name for these amazing events. So see you all either on the beach in Turkey, next to the Sea of Galilee in Israel or in the Fields of Switzerland .

‘Secret’ party to take Worcester underground

'Secret' party to take Worcester underground

3:03pm Tuesday 15th April 2014 in News

A 'SECRET' warehouse will be the mysterious location for an underground, unforgettable and unique party.

Professional music brand Pro-ject are bringing an exclusive and intimate rave to an as yet unknown venue in the heart of the Faithful City on Saturday, April 26 that has never been used before and ticket numbers are limited to 450.

Ticket holders will be able to see massive headline DJs Cause & Affect UK, who are linked to DirtyBird Records and Rinse FM, and they will be told where to go for the party on Saturday, April 19.

There will also be other DJs from London including Area8, Funkin-L and Jay Cee, GLAS Birmingham resident Jay Newman and Worcester talent Priceless on the line-up.

A spokesman for Pro-ject said: "I feel it's about time Worcester clubbing was put on the map. Yes, we have some bars and a few nightclubs mostly playing commercial mainstream music, however, Pro-ject is offering something completely new, completely different and bringing it right to your doorstep in Worcester."

Revellers will enter the venue's gates to be greeted by a 40ft black tunnel of mystery and the light at the end of the tunnel will be a 30ft stage hosting the DJs in front of LED visuals with underground house being played through a thunderous sound system.

Set in a warehouse, the night will be reminiscent of the legendary Ibiza club DC10 with CO2 cannons coiled and ready to fire.

Raw brick walls, exposed steel rafters and a seamless concrete floor create a setting like nowhere else.
