This year my dream summer destination will be Ibiza, Spain. It truly is the perfect combination of desert heat, with beautiful, and often secluded, beaches. It is also a hedonistic playground for the European hipster, but also offers many options for simple relaxation. Of course if you love a good party, it certainly is there for you join in!
It is easy enough to take a flight there from anywhere in Europe, but I prefer the stop in Barcelona. You can spend a couple days roaming this gothic city, with it's beautiful architecture and Modern Art Museums, and then smack down in the middle of the city is a ferry that will take you to Ibiza. Warning: it is not a short trip, 11 hours in fact, but you can take it at midnight and be in Ibiza by mid-day!
