Why? It's so much more than you expect. It's known for its nightlife, but it has great beaches and countryside as well as countless fantastic restaurants.

The best thing? I have a house on the island, which makes travelling so much easier. Never having to pack a suitcase is a considerable advantage when it comes to family holidays.

My ideal day: I'd get up early and go to the gym, working out on a treadmill overlooking the Mediterranean. I'd run errands and do domestic chores in the morning then lunch on delicious local fish. I'd take a siesta before slipping into the pool to splash about with my son. The family would go out to eat in the evening and head home stuffed and satisfied for a reasonably early night.

My advice: Go out at night no matter how old you are. Ibiza appeals to a really wide age range - and many clubs have patrons in their 50s, 60s and more.

Getting there: Cheapflights (cheapflights.co.uk) has Gatwick-Ibiza flights from £86pp return.

What do you never travel without? My laptop.
