I’m heading to Ibiza from October 5th–12th for a closing party, and I’m genuinely excited, but I have to admit… I don’t really understand the Ibiza Hype
😂
Literally everyone I talk to tries to convince me that Ibiza is the best place on earth and that I’m going to have the time of my life. I love house music, DJs, concerts, raves and that whole scene, so I’m pretty sure I’m going to love it — but what actually makes Ibiza so special?

I’ve never been before, so I guess I’ll have to wait and see for myself.
I’m going for a full week and a few of my favourite DJs are playing while we’re there, so I already know the socials are going to be absolutely non-existent 😂.
I’m just wondering how people normally approach a week in Ibiza and, more importantly, how to make the most of it while still doing it as safely as possible.
I’m also conscious that a week of late nights, drinking and partying and what not , can take its toll, so I’d love to hear any advice on staying as safe and healthy as possible while still enjoying the experience — hydration, sleep, food, avoiding overdoing it, looking after friends, etc. Basically, how do you survive a full week of Ibiza closing parties without absolutely destroying yourself? 😅

For anyone who’s been — what is it about Ibiza that makes it so different from any other place? What did you experience that made you understand the hype?
And any tips for a first-timer doing a full week of closing parties would be massively appreciated! 🍸🎶

Maybe we can try getting in by arriving at 17:30 and buying at doors?

I’m curious to hear your recommendations:
Tomorrow, Thursday, I already have a fixed plan: Solid Grooves at DC-10. That’s the main event for me because it’s my favourite club and my favourite label’s party.
But I’m still not sure where to go tonight, and I have several options:
A: UNVRS – Paradise with Jamie Jones
The music is definitely my style, but UNVRS isn’t my favourite club. There are often quite a lot of rude people, and I don’t think the sound system is that great.
B: Pacha – Mau P, plus Capriati & Väth
The music could be good because of the guest DJs, and Pacha used to be one of my favourite clubs with a great sound system. However, in recent years they seem to sell way too many tickets, so it can be almost impossible to enjoy the night because it’s so overcrowded.
Do you think the Mau P party will also be a total sardine can? 😂
C: Amnesia – Resistance with ARTBAT, Beyer & CamelPhat
I’m okay with Amnesia, but I’m not sure about the music. Adam Beyer and ARTBAT can sometimes be a bit too hard techno for me. On the other hand, I really enjoyed CamelPhat when I saw them at Pacha years ago, because they played something less techno and more tech house.
So my question is: What kind of sound should I expect from this night? Will it be proper hard techno, or will they play a more house-oriented style because it’s Ibiza?
D: Cova Santa – Guy Gerber
I’ve never been to Cova Santa and I don’t know Guy Gerber very well either. I’ve read quite a lot about the club and it looks really appealing to me, but I’m not sure about the music.
How would you describe this party? Do you think I would enjoy the style if Solid Grooves is basically my benchmark?
E: Any other recommendations for tonight?
Maybe Chinois, Bora Bora, or somewhere else?
I’d really appreciate your recommendations!

What is the taxi queues like outside the airport? Me and my girlfriend are flying in next Thursday 12pm and I’m wondering should I book transfers or just go ahead with a taxi?

I am flying from the US to Ibiza in September with two layovers. CLT > MAD arriving at 5:30 am. MAD > ALC departing at 7:25 am and arriving at 8:40 AM. ALC > IBZ departing at 2:15 (14:15) pm and arriving at 3:13 (15:15) pm. Booked on a single ticket. Flying AA to Madrid then Iberian. But since it's a single ticket, our luggage (if we check any) should be checked all the way through to the final destination.

Since Madrid is our first stop into the Schengen Zone, am I correct in assuming we will need to go through EES? And if so, how realistic is it that we actually make the 7:25 AM flight to ALC with only a 1hr 55 min layover?

There is another flight from MAD > ALC departing at 11:50 and arriving at 1:05 (13:05). That makes me less worried about long lines at Madrid for EES and immigration, but its a tight connection at ALC to get to our flight to IBZ.

Do you think we should risk missing the 7:25 am flight from MAD > ALC? Or switch to the 11:50 to ALC for piece of mind leaving MAD, with a caveat of a tight connection at ALC?

Hi, me and a friend are staying in Playa D’en Bossa next month and are into nature walks. Can anyone give any good recommended trails/walks with nice views?

Thanks !

Morning folks. Visiting Ibiza in a few weeks time with a group of 10 lads aged 30-40. We are looking for something to do on the Sunday that we return home - our flight isn't until pretty late and we want to make the most of the final day. A beach club with good atmosphere would be ideal. I know that Sa Trinxa used to be good fun on a Sunday, but not sure if that's still the case now the DJ ban has been enforced there. Anyway, is this a good option? What are some other suggestions? Probably have to leave wherever we are around 7pm.

What can’t I miss during my quick trip? Staying in San Antonio.

Eyeing Hi on Saturday for Skepta & SG Lewis. I was there for Black Coffee a while ago and it was too packed in the main room so will be in the Club room mostly (had a blast last time). Is the VIP worth it there? It’s showing around $300.

Not sure about Friday. We’re older so was thinking 528 or pikes or something a bit closer to San Antonio.

We like house music, dnb, just looking to dance!

My wife and I are heading back to Ibiza for our second time, October 7–10, and we’ve booked a suite at Destino. Last time(3yrs ago) we stayed at the Hard Rock and went to Ushuaïa, DC-10, and Hï. We had an awesome time, but we were with a group of seven.
This time it’ll just be the two of us, so I’m looking for some input on the Destino experience itself, as well as recommendations for what to do Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday while we’re there.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I've scratched my head enough and its hard finding a place for a special dinner where the minimum spend is 100 Euros pp and to expect great views with great food?
is there a combination of all even if with the minimum spend the food will be to die for?

& for the casual vibes, Hostal La Torre is coming with min spend too? Cafe Del Mar or Kumharas?

Thankyou!

Edit: Looking for both kind of separate places, I know it cant be casual and fancy together :)

So me & my bestie are going Ibiza 19th to 24th September, I’m 26 & she’s 24, staying in Bossa pretty much next to Ushuaia. Obvs want to go to the big clubs but also want to find the cool intimate clubs/parties/beach clubs etc. just want a good time really, not bothered about the cowboy boots kinda ting & kinda want to avoid the younger crowd. Any suggestions on where to go?

We are from Berlin and are used to the club scene there, and are a bit worried about being packed like sardines with phones in our faces. The VIP tables seem to require 5+ people, so we're a bit out of luck.

We’ve been coming to Ibiza for years, but last week was brutal:

• Pacha: Daughter's wallet and ID stolen from her bag (day 1)
• Hï Ibiza: Son's iPhone stolen (caught the suspect on video selfie: He was standing close, not dancing, not vibing, occasionally making a video to fake being a fan. He left immediately after he stole the phone) (day 1)
• Cova Santa: Friend had her iPhone and personal items stolen from her bag that had a simple lock (day 2)

Once we started paying attention, the pattern was -in my opinion- obvious: groups of 3-4 people who clearly aren't partying, scanning the crowd, eying each other without talking, boxing people in even if there is plenty of space behind them, and carrying relatively large (similar) bags.

​How does club security manage to catch someone with a single pill in seconds, yet let organized theft crews work the dance floor with impunity? Or am I seeing ghosts now? For what it's worth: don't go out without pockets with a zipper, and if you have a bag, keep in closely and in front of you because they will unzip it.

Trying to do some planning around tonight, I was only able to find a google AI summary (did not see times in the page it allegedly summarized), but it said Anyma is on from 4:30-6 AM. Can anyone confirm or deny that?

Hello

Planning to stay around Sant Antoni, but would like to check out events / hang out on the other side of the island as well. (Eivissa area). How easy or difficult is it to get transport between the 2 sides?

Thank you

Hi all, I'm visiting Ibiza in september and wanted to have a better overview of all parties in the clubs. I used Ibiza Spotlight but it's missing key venues such as DC10 or Pikes? This has all clubs: Ibiza Party Overview.
