The 'White Isle', as Ibiza is popularly referred to, is a Mecca for clubbers, but somewhat strangely, is also a great destination for families.

When to go
The island lies in the Balearics just off the east coast of Spain and it benefits from a fantastic Mediterranean climate. The weather is at its hottest in July and August and inevitably that's when the price of flights to Ibiza are also at their peak. If you're lucky enough to be able to avoid the school holidays then June and September would have to be the best months to try to find your flights. Ibiza will still be wonderfully warm at that time but without the peak crowds. Outside of those times there are some real bargains to be found in the off peak months of April, May and October when demand isn't so high but you're still in with a good chance of some great weather. The key in these months is to book your flight to Ibiza well in advance rather than hanging around for a late deal. Prices vary greatly but in the off peak months it is possible to pay as little as £70 for your flights. Ibiza, however, can be extortionately expensive to travel to in July and August, when you should either book well in advance or, if you're brave, hang on for a late deal.

How to get there
If you are looking at a standard 7 night break then you may find a package holiday offers great value but for any duration outside of that, or for midweek departures booking a cheap flight to Ibiza and your hotel separately will often you will get a better deal. There are a whole host of flight options from the UK with British Airways EasyJet, FlyThomascook and ThomsonFly all offering cheap flights to Ibiza. Departures can be found from most UK airports including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff and Edinburgh, so it's worth shopping around to find the cheapest flights. Ibiza really can be a great value destination if you know where and when to look. Once you're there consider hiring a car to explore this beautiful island.

Where to go
So much depends on whether you're part of the clubbing crowd. Ibiza really does rock the world with its world class night clubs and chic restaurants, although you should certainly pack your credit card because none of that kind of entertainment comes cheap. That scene centres around the resorts in the south of the island, but if you're after a bit more innocent family fun then head for the north where the beaches are beautiful and the atmosphere much less frenetic. Alternatively try the neighbouring island of Formentera for more relaxed holidaymaking.
