Interview by Tim Wapshott 

I lost my heart in… Ibiza

Why?
Despite the misconceptions others have of Ibiza, it is one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean. Ibiza is split down the middle - it has its San Antonio side, which is the worst holiday destination you could imagine, and then it has its Ibiza Town side. This is very spiritual and consists of an old, Spanish-walled city and some really nice beaches. It is a good European destination with a great mix of people and a glorious life all of its own.

The best thing:
The harbour in Ibiza Town, where you can see the biggest, most expensive boats come and go. I've even seen one with a helicopter on the back of it!

My ideal day:
I'd spend it relaxing at Es Vivé Hotel, which has an amazing sundeck and pool area. I'd spend sunset at the Café del Mar and then head off for drinks and to watch the world go by at the Base Bar, which stays open until 4am. It's unlikely, but if I did manage to then make it on to a club, I'd head to Manumission at Privilege.

My advice:
If you can, stay at the Es Vivé Hotel.

Getting there:
Cheapflights has flights between Luton and Ibiza from £139 return.

Where was your best holiday:
Bangkok, Thailand.

What is the best hotel you have stayed in?
The Legian Hotel, Bali (0361 751182 758145, from $20 per day), which has the most amazing architecture along with a garden full of orchids.

Where do you want to go next:
On an extended trip in Kuala Lumpur.

What do you never travel without:
My laptop and travel adaptors.
