Ibiza - But not as you know it

With its ancient architecture, hidden coves and a cosmopolitan, hippy culture, it's little wonder 'magical' is how most Ibiza veterans describe this bohemian Balearic island. It's easier than you might think to turn a blind eye to the White Isle's hedonistic superclubs and heaving package-tour resorts for wholesome holidays in sense-soothing settings. Whether you splash out on a designer villa or book low-key farmhouse lodgings, these family-friendly stays aren't just good for kids, but great for grown-ups too.

Insider: Deliciously Sorted: Serena Cook, the original VIP concierge, and her crew can work most miracles. After all, they've honed their skills with regulars such as Calvin Klein and Elle Macpherson - as well as clients without their own international underwear ranges!
