Having visited Ibiza countless times, whenever I\u2019m heading home, I always get the itch to return – only this time for good. Over the years, I\u2019ve spent my fair share of time enjoying everything the island has to offer, and it keeps calling me back year after year. Naturally, for most tourists, Ibiza is synonymous with the big clubs and buzzing nightlife. However, as legendary and loud as the music scene is, there\u2019s still plenty of peaceful pursuits that never fail to indulge my quieter side – and that keep the locals busy long after the clubs have closed for the season. <\/span><\/p>\n Anyone living on the island will know the best places to unwind, the most isolated coves and bays, the genuinely unique sunsets, however, navigating your way from the resorts to the more peaceful parts of the island may be more challenging than you think. Here then, are my top tips for anyone looking for a life of harmony and serenity on the White Isle.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ibiza\u2019s credentials as a home for alternative living date back to the 1950s. Back then, the island served as a refuge for hippies from around the world, and it\u2019s relatively isolated position meant that people could be as nonconformist as they liked. In fact, much of the island\u2019s club scene stemmed from the hippie parties that took place between the 50s and 70s. Today, this hippie heritage also presents itself as a number of eco-living projects dotted around the island. If self-sufficiency and a slower pace of life interest you, then take a look at one the of the largest and <\/span>longest-running projects here<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are numerous yoga retreats on the Island, from the traditional to the truly luxurious, so whatever your level or skill set, you will find a program suitable for you. Again, the island\u2019s depth in quality for this type of activity can be traced back to the hippy communes set up more than half a century ago. However, today, you\u2019re just as likely to be sipping cocktails by the pool after a session as you are trying to attain moksha in a dusty adobe hut.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nExplore Eco-Living<\/b><\/h2>\n
