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.

Visualize an island surrounded by azure waters, secluded coves, pristine beaches, vibrant green foliage, craggy-pine mountain ranges, picturesque villages, and a bustling capital city. Now imagine that island sparkling from the sea just 2 hours flight from Jersey & Guernsey, and a shade longer from the Isle of Man, that’s Majorca.
