Our MD, Robert Mackenzie visits Ibiza 40 years on from his last trip

The first and only time I visited Ibiza, prior to last summer, was 40 years’ ago when as an impoverished student I, together with a few pals, decided a week in San Antonio was just what we needed to celebrate graduation. Needless to say, over the years memories have faded of this particular trip – however safe to say time was mainly spent enjoying the nightlife rather than exploring the island.

Direct to Beautiful Sunsets

What do you most look forward to on vacation? We ask this question often in the process of booking holidays, and many clients say that watching the sunset set over a new horizon is one the best parts of the trip. It’s true that there’s a sunset every day, everywhere on earth, and one might expect them to become boring, but most agree that some places in the world are better than others to enjoy this natural spectacle.
