Event Previews & Reviews from Ibiza

Sunday saw the grand finale of the 2nd Annual Ibiza Pride Festival and after a week of events, parties and celebrations it certainly closed in style with a parade through the streets of Ibiza old town and a street party on the Vara De Ray.

I recently had the opportunity to hop aboard one of Ibiza’s most famous boat party companies, Pukka Up. I was lucky enough to join them for their Friday sunset trip and having heard all about their raging parties, I was pretty excited to get onboard ‘the biggest boat party in the world’.

It’s not often that one thinks of culture in relation to San Antonio but for a month this summer the boozy, bar crawl of a town in south west Ibiza is getting a chance to show people that it’s about more than just binge drinking and boat parties as it plays host to the annual Bloop festival.

Beautiful Cala Benirras is situated in the north of the island and has acquired a reputation for itself as being a 'must-see' spot on your Ibizan tour due to its hippy heritage, stunning sunsets and the drummers who congregate there to drum down the sunset.

When one hears Music Festival and Ibiza in the same sentence a whole lot of images spring to mind but I can assure you your vivid imagination would have been way off about what went down on Sunday June 19th to the annual Ai Carai Festival in San Carlos, Northern Ibiza.

There is no denying that Ibiza Rocks is one of the ultimate hot spots to visit this summer. With a banging line-up of acts and an incredible venue for them to perform in, not to mention drink prices that don’t require a platinum card, Ibiza Rocks has got what we’re looking for and that is something just a little bit different.

Somethings are just mandatory for your time in Ibiza and hitting up a pool party is definitely one of them. This summer the pool party crown is likely to be placed on the head of multi-platinum selling, comeback kid Craig David and his TS5 event. He is bringing his friends and taking over Sundays with a residency at the Ibiza Rocks hotel, every week from 17th July to 4th September 2016.
