What do you get when you match a sun-dappled Mediterranean restaurant with the picture-perfect surroundings of a UNICEF World Heritage site?

WEDNESDAY 13th AUGUST: Escape and release - book now for a day or a week with Ibiza Retreats
How many times have you said in a day ´I’m busy, let me check my diary,’ ‘I have to do this before I do that but after I make this call´ or ´I can’t go to dinner, I need to work late´? All the while secretly praying for the chance to just stop, breathe, pack a bag and pack it in?
Ibiza has long been a place for escapism, a creative and soul provoking spiritual destination and quite simply, somewhere allowing total disconnection from society’s nags. An island retreat if you will and with the creation of Ibiza Retreats, the wondrous powers of the white isle can be - and should be - indulged by all.

01/08/08: Es Vive Hotel Thai Buffet
I don’t know if I’ve ever told you this before, but my favourite food in the entire world is Thai. I could eat Pad Thai for breakfast, Panang Curry for lunch and Tom Yum soup for dinner every single night of my life. Though the fact I don’t live in Thailand means indulging these cravings is kind of difficult – I mean, Ibiza boasts a few very good Thai restaurants, but with so many other things on the social schedule, it’s a little hard to visit them every day!
And between you and me, with so many other fabulous restaurants on the island, I guess I don’t really want to limit myself to just one style of food anyway. So you can imagine Miss W’s sheer delight when she discovered that Es Vive hotel throws open it’s gorgeous turquoise gates every Friday for an all-you-can-eat Thai buffet! Now, while the idea of all-you-can-eat buffets generally conjures up some Homer Simpson-esque imagery in my mind, I was so excited at the idea of filling my Thai quota in one afternoon that I donned my Camilla kaftan (you know a kaftan is the ideal outfit when you plan to eat a lot, as the flowy-ness hides any unsightly tummy bulges!) and hotfooted it down to the hotel.
The smells wafting from the woks set up beside the poolside DJ had my mouth watering before I’d even walked through the gates and I couldn’t get myself to the rice cooker fast enough. Bypassing the obligatory small talk with everyone I knew – which is not like Miss W at all – I made a beeline for the chicken Panang curry and then settled down into a comfy lounge chair and began to socialise!
It seemed as though the entire hotel was taken over by island residents rather than guests, which is a testament to the quality of food if you ask me. Miss W was grateful for the kaftan, as she made multiple trips back and forth for amazing green curry, pad thai and much more, sizzling fresh on the flaming woks all afternoon.
Miss W was also pleased to note her new favourite island resident DJ, Mr Doris, was behind the decks, providing a funk-soul soundtrack to the afternoon. And speaking of DJs, it seemed anyone who was anyone in the English clubbing fraternity was there and there were quite a few DJs – not mentioning any names – who looked suspiciously like they were still going from the night before, meaning there was more lounging and less eating going on than Miss W expected!
