Get into the Ibiza groove: Why British families are heading to the White Isle

This is where the beautiful people go to party. The Spanish Balearic island of Ibiza was colonised by hippies in the Sixties but it has spent the past 20 years trading on its pulsating club scene and celebrity DJs, attracting a wealthy crowd and rivalling St Tropez for out-and-out glamour.

This summer's visitor numbers were 25 per cent up on those recorded in 2009 – and new levels of excess were on display, too. Wealthy visitors, many of them Russians, lined up to pay £21,800 for a week's villa hire and dropped £3,000 for a prime table at the nightclub Pacha.

But away from the sleek yachts and gleaming Ferraris, there is another side to the island. With its end-of-season parties over, the pace slows, the beaches clear and its rural beauty emerges.

Ibiza's property prices are the most buoyant in Spain. Figures from the estate agent Engel & Volkers show that prime seafront properties are selling strongest, registering a 10 per cent increase since January 2010, and that Britons account for 40 per cent of buyers.

If you are interested in booking holiday villas, you may have looked at areas such as Spain, Portugal or even Cyprus. However, there are holiday villas in other areas which can provide you with an intimate and relaxing vacation. If you are not interested in travelling quite so far away, you may be interested in Brittany villas or holiday villas in other similar locations.

 

If you are looking at renting holiday villas, Brittany villas included, there are a few things that you need to think about. One of the most important considerations is the time of year you are travelling. If you are travelling during the summer months, you may find that holiday villas located in very southern locations are much too warm and that you prefer another location. You may find as well that if you are travelling during cooler times of the year, holiday villas such as Brittany villas may not have the weather you want.

 

Brittany villas, for example, while located in amazing and beautiful countryside are located farther north than holiday villas in areas such as Tuscany or the South of France. Therefore, if you are interested in travelling during the fall, winter or spring, you may be more interested in holiday villas in areas farther south than Brittany villas.

 

You may also want to look at the activities and culture of the region you are planning to book holiday villas in. You may be surprised at how extensively cultural differences such as food can impact how you enjoy the time you are spending in holiday villas. The culture that surrounds you is much more of an issue when renting holiday villas than it is when you are booking a resort or hotel vacation. This is because when you rent holiday villas such as Brittany villas you are staying more in touch with the local population. Because you are often cooking and preparing your own meals you are more at the mercy of the markets and the cuisine that surrounds the holiday villas you have rented.
