Ibiza is the third largest of the fifty Balearic Islands located in the Mediterranean Sea, about 80 km off the coast and an autonomous community of Spain. With Formentera, it is one of the two Pine Islands. Its largest cities are Ibiza Town, Santa Eulària des Riu and Sant Antoni de Portmany.

Eivissa is the official Catalan name, but the name in Spanish is Ibiza.

The island of Ibiza is well-known for its summer club parties which attract large numbers of tourists, but the island and the Spanish Tourist Office have been working to shed the prevailing "sex-and-alcohol" image in order to promote more family-oriented tourism. Noted clubs include Space, Pacha, Privilege (ex Ku), Amnesia, DC10, Eden and Es Paradis. It is also home to the 'West End' party district of Sant Antoni, a popular stop for many tourists.

The island was reclaimed for Christendom by Aragonese King James I of Aragon in 1235. Since then, the island has had its own self-government in several forms but in 1715 King Philip V of Spain abolished the local government's autonomy. The arrival of democracy in the late seventies led to the Statute of Autonomy of the Balearic Islands. Today the island is part of the Balearic Autonomous Community, along with Majorca, Minorca and Formentera.
