Director of media consultancy Thorley Media – clients include Tank, Arena and The Week – Ian Thorley first visited Portinax, Ibiza when he was four because his mother was obsessed by South Pacific and that’s where it was filmed! He didn’t go back for 30 years but has now replaced his summer jaunts to Italy with Ibiza – “I just feel very relaxed in Ibiza and I don’t have the same sensation in mainland Spain.”

Ian Thorley’s Top Tips

1. Sunday lunch at Pikes and Wednesday nights at Pikes after Ibiza Rocks.
2. Sansara in Santa Eulalia (+34 971 191 692) still has the best and cheapest margaritas in Ibiza – 8 bucks!
3. Vicente’s Stables for paseos on the island.
