Vacation, Vacation, Vacation: Kirsty Allsopp and Phil Spencer

For the past decade Kirstie and Phil have been on hand to guide the nation through the ups and downs of the housing market, with their expert knowledge of all things property. Now they return to Channel 4 to help people get the best out of their holidays whatever the budget by searching out ideas and hands-on advice for the UK's annual getaways.

The series will be packed with destination information, activities to suit all budgets and most importantly, what's worth spending hard earned cash on and what isn't. Each week Kirstie and Phil hit one destination or tackle one style of holiday like cruises or city breaks; one of them is charged with finding the best value budget break whilst the other treats viewers to a peek of lavish luxury, and shows a cheats guide on how to get it without a banker's bonus.

Tonight's programme features Ibiza. A Mediterranean hotspot for over two million tourists a year, Ibiza was first claimed by the hippies and then taken over by the ravers. Phil has been holidaying there for years - first as a backpacker and now as a family man, and he is a fully paid up member to the island's fan club. But what does the island have to offer away from the clubbing and deluxe villas? And can he convince Kirstie that it does rival other gems of the Med for escapism? 

Phil has visited Ibiza regularly for the past 15 years, but for Kirstie the mere thought of Ibiza, the clubbing capital of the world, fills her with dread. Its boozy Brits reputation is largely thanks to San Antonio, but the rest of the island can be totally different.

Kirstie is charged with the budget break and seeing if Ibiza can be a charming getaway for a family. She picks a campsite on the north east coast in Cala Nova just 50 yards from one of the most beautiful beaches on the island from under £5 a night in a tent to around £50 for a bunglaow. She may not have an inner hippy, but once off the beaten track and after some horse riding along the beach, Kirstie starts to see the appeal of Ibiza for chilled out family escapes.

In contrast Phil finally gets to dip his toe in the exclusive luxury of the Ibiza super rich as they check out a private suite at one of the island's most exclusive hotels - Hollywood stars like Jude Law are said to stay here.

Kirstie is convinced that Ibiza is just expensive because the stars go there to party. But can a private pool, power boat trip to a remote beach with a champagne picnic and an exquisite tasting menu back at the hotel prove to Kirstie that the Balearic island's glamorous reputation is worth the money?
