Read reviews of the best Ibiza events
Although Ibiza has gained notoriety for its exceptional offering of clubbing and electronic music, the island has much more to offer its visitors when it comes to entertainment. Throughout the year, there is an abundance of traditional fiestas, fairs and grand events celebrated on the island which means that, no matter what time of the year you visit, there is always something exciting going on.
It’s that time of year again, September has hit, the closing parties have begun and one of the first to close up their 2016 Ibiza residency was one of the surprise hits of the summer: The Craig David TS5 pool party. This event has been taking over Ibiza Rocks hotel every Sunday of the summer and the last one swung into action on September 4th. It was the busiest by far as crowds arrived early to catch the man in action for the last time – at least for this summer.
A musical gathering with the intention of celebration, connection, inspiration, healing, and expansion through music, dance, art & love. The Wake Up Ibiza Festival returns this September Thursday 10th for a second instalment of the festival-style afternoon of healing and higher consciousness in the gardens of Benimussa Park.
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’.
Whether you’re looking for some quiet time alone with a classic film, a romantic location for a date night or an unforgettable spot for a group hang out Cinema Paradiso has got you covered. Their open-air cinema set up inside the fortified walls of Dalt Vila old town is an incredibly atmospheric place to spend an evening.
Ibiza town was transformed this weekend and sent back into the dark ages with the arrival of the annual Medieval Festival, which took over the old town Dalt Vila from the 5th to the 8th of May. For four days the town became a swarming hive of bizarre and theatrical activity as upwards of 50,000 people descended upon Ibiza Town to help celebrate its rich and multi cultural past.
A delightful month, providing a sneaky taste of the impending summer season.
With temperatures steadily warming, April is the perfect time to take a trip to the White Isle.
Beautiful blue skies and glorious sunshine - the perfect excuse to get out and explore.
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.
After the end of the summer shenanigans, the spirit of Ibiza continues this month.
Far from going quiet after a string of epic closing bashes, Ibiza keeps the party going in October with Halloween headlining the calendar. The night has become a celebration of chilling proportions, where many of the island’s best-loved venues throw devilishly spooky events.
Last Sunday saw the last triathlon competition in the Spanish calendar take place in Ibiza. The Ibiza Blue Challenge Triathlon is a tough event that takes participants through the lesser-known part of the island, the beautiful north coast.
Sant Jordi is a quiet little place just outside of Ibiza Town that you’d probably never thought to visit. On a Saturday morning however it becomes the place-to-be due to its large and quirky market that is more boot sale than boho chic.
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.
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.
Every year, in late August to September, Ibiza is home to the festival of Sant Bartomeu. The Patron saint of the Sant Antoni area is celebrated with two weeks full of cultural events and fiestas including fireworks, music, art and sporting events that culminate in the hilarious annual Romans Versus Carthaginians tomato fight.
Ibiza is always a dazzling location to spend Christmas and New Year
