It's not surprising to hear the response "Ibiza" when asking your mates what they got up to this summer.

 So if you haven't been before, or you're thinking of going again and would like to know a little more, read on!

Ibiza is one destination that will definitely not disappoint those clubbing lovers out there. Every year it's pulling more and more young people towards its top beaches, award winning clubs, famous DJs and unbeatable weather.

What student with half an overdraft left wouldn't want to be a part of this buzzing island? Over the past year you may well have heard of "Ibiza Rocks", a new exclusive hotel that has just been renovated and has taken the island by storm this summer.

It is also home to resident DJ, Pete Tong and is constantly being blabbed about on Radio One! Here's why. Located in the heart of San Antonio, lives this exclusive funky four star hotel.

 

 Live, loud music banging out around the pool all day means that family or romantic holiday seekers will be sourly disappointed! So if that's what you're after, don't come here.

The hotel includes three pools, several lively bars and an international cuisine restaurant, which all crawl with regular celeb guests such as Paris Hilton, Pete Tong, and Penelope Cruz - definitely a place to be seen! It boasts 365 rooms, all with private terraces overlooking the pool, so book yourself in for those Ibiza Rocks events and be guaranteed a week to remember!

Weekly band performances this summer have included David Guetta, The Frattelis, Pendulum and The Kooks. Laura (a season worker of the hotel) said of the new hip spot: "Work? You can't really call it work. It's amazing, a dream job.

Who else can say they saw the Radio One weekender live whilst getting paid?" We asked Laura what the highlight of her summer has been so far whilst working at the hotel and she comments "Pete Tong high-fiving me was definitely up there!

I just think it's important that young people get to know what Ibiza is really about. Places like Malia and Falaraki could never compare, but it's a feeling you don't understand until you come here." You can stay at the hotel for one crazy week from £250. You can't find a better atmosphere in any other hotel on the island, but be warned, it's not for the faint hearted!

Cut for cash or fancy something different? Miss a few Tiger Tigers and Jongleurs and you can visit the island for a week from £180 which covers flights and accommodation.

Trust me, you won't regret it! For more info, search for cheap holidays to Ibiza. And while you're out there, why not take a quick trip to the "Zoo Project." It's a secret getaway for hardcore clubbers and Ibiza workers, where you get the chance to release your inner animal in an old abandoned zoo, that's right, a zoo!

Picture decks and top class DJs, then place them in an old seal pit surrounded by flamboyant clubbers and there you have it! Hidden away in the hills since the 1970s, it maintains a reputation of the biggest hotspot for daytime clubbers.

So if you fancy something unique, go there! Ibiza season has now ended for 2008, but if you book your flights early, you can pick up a bargain for what's due to be an even bigger and better season next year!
