Let's be clear: if you're under 30, love nightlife and want to soak up the best of the Mediterranean sun then Ibiza is the ultimate destination.

Cheap it isn't, but it's commercial enough to offer everything a tourist could need and vibrant enough to keep you partying 24/7.

But though the White Isle's best known asset may be its clubs it has so many other facets, many of which aren't quite as accessible since most travel firms don't cater for a broad spectrum of traveller.

Chic Ibiza is a company based in the island which gives you the chance to enjoy everything - which means that whether you're twenty-something, middle aged or even more mature you can enjoy everything - and most importantly enjoy it in style.

The team offer an array of amazing villas, stylish apartments and boutique hotels in various locations. Forget dodgy rooms overlooking dusty backstreets - their accommodation is in superb spots and attain the highest standards.

We stayed in a stunning five bedroom villa just south west of San Antonio which offered awe inspiring views from the hills rolling down to the sea.

It boasted a good size pool, barbecue, driveway and garage with electric doors. The living space - which included a dining room, kitchen and two balconies - was split over three levels, with the top floor it's own self contained apartment with walk in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom.

This, I was reliably assured by the Chic Ibiza representative, may be pitched at an exceptional level, but it was standard as far as they were concerned.

You will struggle to find a setting more idyllic and convenient than this. With leafy peaks above, rolling fields below and an almost 180 degree vista you can watch the sunrise, soak up the rays all day and watch it set having never left the apartment.

Best of all it's tucked away from the mayhem which can dominate a holiday if you find yourself close to the busiest nightspots - so if you want a peaceful trip, Chic Ibiza can make it happen.

And even if you do just want to take the odd excursion it's only minutes away. Hiring a car is the best way to explore. Drive up into the hills where you can find authentic sleepy towns like San Jose.

This enchanting little oasis of calm is smack bang in the centre of the western portion of the island and has retained an unspoilt Spanish appeal all of its own.

We found one of the best tapas bars we've ever eaten in, Destino run by Claudio Radke, and after food you can meander down to the roadside bar take in a beer or coffee before wandering round the smattering of shops. It's everything you'd want, it certainly isn't Club 18-30.

From there we also sampled the beautiful string of beaches which pepper the coastline. If you want the hustle of the bigger coastal resorts they're no more than a few minutes away, but even closer were countless sandy enclaves which are less commercialised and boast a bijou, private charm all of their own.

And enhancing your trip further is Chic Ibiza's amazing concierge services which aim to maximise your precious time by organising activities, in advance or during the trip, so you don't have to.

The experienced team can not only offer you advice on how to get the best out of Ibiza they can also handle restaurant reservations, VIP tables and tickets booked for clubs, driving services, childminding, boat hire and deck hire.

They can even arrange for specialist caterers to come to your villa to cook for you, serve and clean up after themselves - and if you still don't feel pampered enough they can even organise masseurs and beauty therapists.

The beauty of chic Ibiza is that they give you the chance to enjoy some or all of the Ibiza experience.

We enlisted their help in getting easy access to several of the countless clubs on the island.

There's no underselling the draw of Ibiza as a nightlife mecca. From the superclubs like Amnesia and Pacha near Ibiza Town to iconic bars like Cafe Mambo and Cafe del Mar, there's simply no comparison.

If you do dip your toe, or even submerge yourself, in the water an absolute must-visit is Space on Sundays in Playa d'en Bossa where you can enjoy a the wholly un-British experience of dancing on their terrace basking in the warm evening air and sunshine - perfection.

Or, just a few hundred yards away is the equally legendary Bora Bora where the sand and bar merge together for a hot summer clubbing experience which is typically Ibizan.

For a commercial whirlwind of an experience throw yourself into the heart of the two main resorts - Ibiza Town and San Antonio - but for a rather more racy night out sample La Troya at Space on Wednesdays, Manumission at Amnesia on a Friday or Kissdafunk at Eden on Sundays.

With just about every big name night and DJ making an appearance during every Ibiza season, the choice is simply staggering and chic Ibiza can ensure you make the most of it.

But equally if you just want to sporadically explore the island's more serene attractions or enjoy a lazy break soaking up the sun - you can do that too.

The biggest asset Ibiza boasts is its ability to simultaneously offer a party ambience along with more sophisticated, relaxed options, and thanks to Chic Ibiza we got to sample it all.
