A magnet for clubbers, the White Isle also offers beautiful out-of-the way coves and villages, UNESCO World Heritage Sites and a history that is as varied as the two million visitors who descend each year.

Mucho Caliente! By Francesca Prescott (BookStrand Publishing)

A Sister for Margot by Emma Clark Lam (Emma Clark)

When Ruby is sent to live with her grandfather, she develops a deep fascination with the past. Where will her quest for digging up her family history lead her? This is a compelling saga, largely set on Ibiza, that incorporates wasted potential, sibling rivalry, and romance.

Is Harry on the Boat? By Colin Butts (Orion)

The life of a rep on Ibiza can’t be hard, can it? Well...This novel captures the essence of life behind the clipboard and perma-smile. The tale of sun, sex and drugs is enriched with a back story of embezzlement within the rep company. OK, it’s not Proust – but it is an eye-wateringly enjoyable romp through the party island.
