After a hot day observing Santa Maria and a leisurely stroll around Mercat de l’Olivar (Palma Markets), I had time for a dip in the sea to cool off at Can Pere Antoni beach and a cheeky cocktail at Anima Beach Club. The final port of call on day 6 is Ibiza, docking for
7pm, with Scarlet Lady’s anchor down for the night, leaving at 5pm on day 7. This allows you to enjoy Ibiza both by night and day. Whether you want to party through the night at one of the world’s top nightclubs or visit the capital and iconic old town,
