This week, you can feel island shift its gears from the hectic pace of sizzling August nights into the chilled out vibes of dreamy September days. It almost feels as though the white isle herself is breathing a huge sigh of relief as the beaches become less crowded, the town traffic eases off and a soft breeze keeps the Mediterranean sea lapping gently onto our golden shores. Ahhhh…

While the season is far from over (and those in the know will tell you the on-island action continues all year long), the welcome respite from constant partying, over-indulgence and extreme temps finally gives us that much-needed chance to treat ourselves.

September is the perfect time to partake in a luxurious spa holiday, lazing around in five star surroundings - flitting between massages, facials and the pool. Try a glitzy hotel like the Ibiza Gran with its hi-tech facilities or the swish Aguas De Ibiza , who (in addition to their all-new spa) have recently opened a divine rooftop chillout bar, ideal for lazing away on those balmy nights. Or, opt for an idyllic Agroturismo such as Can Curreu, a countryside escape who recently launched a new spa concept.

Or perhaps you’d prefer to just escape from it all – in which case, the all new luxury villas at Can Lluc have your name written all over them! Once you’ve unpacked, you’ll never want to leave… though of course, there are plenty of temptations to get you out of the house here in Ibiza, whether a healing and relaxing acupuncture or reflexology session or an indulgent spot of retail therapy, the choice is yours. It is all about YOU after all…

Art for Ibiza’s sake

You know, I’ve never considered myself an art critic, but I know what I like… and I think it’s time Miss W made an investment that didn’t end up hanging in her wardrobe (I could argue that fashion is art, but I’d be arguing with myself and that’s a whole other hypnotherapy session just waiting to happen).

Recently, I’ve had the chance to check out some amazing art – some in the form of touring exhibitions and others that were created right here on the white isle…
