“For a long time, Ibiza’s reputation was primarily all about having the best clubs in the world,” explains Dynamic Lives founder George Burdon, who has seen a rise in the demand for more active Ibiza holidays in recent years. “Recently there’s been more of a shift – people are cottoning on to the fact that there’s so much more to explore here.” This very human desire to dig beneath the island’s surface, coupled with an increasing need to step away from laptops and distractions and be outside among the elements, has led a wealth of new age holidaymakers to uncover Ibiza’s true essence. While epicurean pastimes are very much still available to those who seek them, we’re seeing an increase in requests for outdoor activities from our discerning international clientele. It seems getting your heart rate up by being out and about in nature is every bit as satisfying as getting your blood pumping on a dance floor (if not more).
Fortunately, Ibiza is primed for alfresco living – we’ve got the remarkably warm climate to thank for that (300 days of sunshine thank you very much). The island is also aesthetically blessed from whatever angle you look at it – from the crystal clear waters to the terracotta soil to the zesty green of the pine trees, the natural beauty here is bountiful. “It doesn’t matter where you go on the island,” George confirms. “It’s picture perfect everywhere. Nothing beats that feeling of getting out there among rock, sea and tree – it just lifts the soul.” With that in mind, our team of on-island experts are well equipped to show off this side of the island to you through a carefully tailored outdoor itinerary – we’ve spent 18 years cultivating a little (OK, it’s big) black book of on-island experts who can put you through your paces, take you off the beaten track, get you out on the water and help you get a solid dose of naturally produced dopamine.
