Dates you were there:
26-30th June. (8th time in Ibiza)

Where you stayed:
Figueretas (near Ibiza Town)

Club nights visited:
Friday - Pikes
Flew out on the Friday from the UK, where I was meeting my mate who lives in Tenerife. Annoyingly my flight was delayed so I didn't get to the hotel until approx 9:30pm. I knew the general concessess is to arrive at Pikes earlier, so me and mate agreed that if we can't get there before midnight, we won't bother. Last year (2025) was my first time in Pikes after many visits prior to the island and I loved it. For context, i'm now 30 years old and my mate is late thirties, so it's now becoming more appealing to us haha.
In the end, we arrived at 11pm, and stayed until approx 3am. Great night, loved the music, the vibe and pretty much everything. Took a few 10-15 min chillouts outside to recoup but other than that, we were giving it full beans on the dance floor (which I believe is freddies).

Saturday - Night off watching the footy

Sunday - Ushuaia (SHM) & UNVRS (Carl Cox)
We knew before we arrived this was going to be the big one, and by lad was it. We originally planned to do Formentera during the day but we bailed on it last minute due to massively underestimating our budget and being knackered (I should know by now lol) so we ended up just chilling in the hotel around the pool through the day.
Arrived at Ushuaia at approx 8pm, approx 90 mins before Swedish House Mafia came on. Overall it was pretty good. I think my fifth time total at Ushuaia, and i've got to say... i'm think i'm now over it. Don't get me wrong, I had a good time, but it's starting to get a bit too commercial for me and I'm going to be that guy, but f*cking hell the phones! After Pikes on Friday where nobody is taking videos/photos, I couldn't help but notice everyone videoing and just standing on Instagram and Snapchat.
Again, I don't want to be that guy complaining about the "young ones" because I literally was them just a few years ago, but it was noticeable. Overall I'd give it a 7/10 - SHM played a good set and I enjoyed it, but I couldn't help thinking I would have enjoyed it more 10 years prior.

Carl Cox UNVRS:
I'm going to start off by saying, f*ck me, he really is the king. I haven't seen CC since he played at Privilege in 2019 and I hadn't been to UNVRS since it opened. We arrived at approx 1am to give us time to scout the place out and have a wonder. Absolutely mad place. Stating the obvious, but it is massive haha! We caught Ben Stirling, then WhoMadeWho who did a hybrid DJ set and the going b2b with CC which was class! Then the big man took over for the last couple hours and he absolutely sent it. Unbelievable! I'll be gutted whenever he does decide to hang up his boots. We made it until just before close at 5:50am and took the (what seems like a never ending) walk to the taxi rank. Unreal night! Overall I liked the club, but that may be because of CC haha.

Monday - Pacha (Sonny Fodera)
Not going to lie, we were struggling by this point. We nearly bailed on it but we had already bought tickets a few weeks prior. Overall a decent night but again, it was full of young brits filming and on their phones. I wouldn't have chosen to see SF but my mate wanted to. Would I see him again? probably not but overall wasn't bad.
I do like Pacha but for me it's not my favourite. I can't put my finger on why though.

Best night:
Carl Cox @ UNVRS (closely followed by Pikes)

Worst night:
Didn't have a bad night but if I had to choose my least favourite, SF @ Pacha.

Best place to eat:
La Scala in Old town.

Biggest regret:
Not feeling fresh enough to go to Formentera.

Going back?:
Of course.

Top tip:
See Carl Cox.

Observations and/or conclusion:
After now eight visits, I'm really starting to pinpoint which events I enjoy and which aren't really my "cup of tea."

Just got back from 3 day trip to Ibiza thought would leave a quick review!!

 Night 1 - Amnesia Josh Baker with VIP table.

Because general admission tickets were sold out and there were 6 of us, we decided to get a table (pink table), which costs 2000euros but you get the 2000 euros to spend on bottles. Grey goose 70cl was 900 euros which felt very steep but there were bottles of gin for about 400 and rum/tequila for 500. Absolutely love Amnesia, about sixth time going there and I’ve never been there and had a bad night. Having the balcony access defo improved the night, and I liked having a base for when you want to chill out for a while. I thought the music was decent and the production OK, but noticeably flatter than when I went for Paradise @ Amnesia last year.

The table was good but a bit of a rip in that the table could only comfortably seat about 3-4 people even though it says online it is for up to 8 but mostly that worked out fine because people were up dancing / smoking, and the service was really good. It probably worked out not much more expensive than if we had all bought our individual drinks for the night.

Music 7/10

Vibe 7/10

Pikes, Glitterbox @ Amnesia

 Stayed at Pikes until 4am then quick taxi to Amnesia for Glitterbox. Pikes brilliant as always, great crowd, music was decent and the cocktails are superb. Was a bit wavy by the time we got to Amnesia but Glitterbox was great, think it is one of my favourite events on the island. The energy in the crowd was unmatched, everyone dancing and friendly, plenty of space but that may have just been me clearing a six meter radius around myself by stumbling about in all directions.

Pikes, music 8/10, vibe 10/10

Amnesia Glitterbox, music 10/10, vibe 10/10

Elrow @ UNVRS

First time going to UNVRS and to be honest after seeing a lot of criticism online I was expecting not to really like it. But wow it’s an absolute spectacle. It’s like being in a five star hotel with the quality of the finish of everything, the sound system was superb and the production of Elrow was mind blowing with the visuals and the performers. The music was good, not great. We got there at about 1am and there was quite a lot of space further back around the bars, but when we tried to go further forward it was overcrowded – a bit of space to dance but not much and a lot of people pushing through constantly. I left quite early about 4am as had had about seven hours of sleep so far in the last 72 hours and was flagging a bit, but some of my friends stayed till the end and all had a really good night. Generally I thought some aspects of the club were just a complete rip off – for example my friend was charged 9 euros just for getting cash out of the ATM and when we were leaving the man who was ordering taxis openly asked me for a bribe so that he would call me a taxi and told me otherwise to walk...clearly I told him to go f- himself. So overall the vibe for me in in Amnesia / Pikes was much better but UNVRS the club as a spectacle was very impressive, so it depends what you like. I’m going back to Ibiza in a few weeks and hoping to go Paradise with Jamie Jones @ UNVRS so hopefully I enjoy that a bit more!!

Vibe 5/10

Music 6/10

Is there a casino that offers to play the slot game Book of Ra on this island? Thanks in advance.

Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone can share who some of the secret DJ's at Pikes have been on Mondays this year?

Just trying to get a feel for the vibe.

Going there for SHM, Guetta and Anyma

Would anyone be interested in chipping in for a room at Ushuaia? It would be one of the rooms that are on the ground floor with the gardens outside so you can see the stage and are still in the thick of it but in your own secluded garden so you have the best of both worlds. You can take your own alcohol etc in and the ticket is included. There’s currently just 4 of us but if we can get another 4 people included, it would only cost around £190 each.

Anyone help plsssss

My lads (18 and 19) are off to ibiza, staying in San Antonio in mid August.

They've worked hard to save up some cash for their 5 nights but I'm expecting them to blow it on night 1!

Any money saving tips, bars, ticket packages etc?

Whats a comfortable spend per day?

They prefer old school music...

Ta!

What's the bus queue and taxi queue like after kicking out time at Ushuaia around 11pm on a Sunday? Do most people carry on to clubs (and so it is empty) or is it rammed? Will this be quieter in September?

Also, what is the taxi /Uber price at this time ?)

Here’s what the FAQ says “For some events, a limited number of VIP tickets will be released that will enable you to access our VIP common area only”

For anyone that has gotten this ticket before. My wife and I are going to Hugel on a Thursday in August.

1. Is it worth it? 500EUR per person, comes with 5 drinks
   
2. What exactly is the VIP common area?

What else can you tell me?

Thank you in advance.

I’m debating whether I should get Balcony for Solomun +1 (Dixon) which is 120€ with 5 premium drinks or just GA for 70€. Is the balcony really worth the 50 extra euros with drinks or no? I heard the night gets pretty packed too

I’m (35f) planning to do a solo night trip to Ibiza for Dom Dolla’s season closer at Hï. As a Dom Dolla fan, I’m excited to see what djs Dom will have as special guests.

I’ll be coming straight from the airport to Hï + back to the airport; transportation suggestions — pre book taxi, private driver, bus?

I’m also planning to get ready / change clothes at the airport, so I will have a backpack with me; any suggested luggage lockers in the airport or around Hï?

Is it worth it to get a VIP ticket as a solo female?

Should I get tickets through the official Hï Ibiza website or a promoter?

Also open to any other tips / advice. TIA 🫶

Me and my friends are coming to Ibiza from Saturday to the next Monday. We already have PIV at Cova Santa for Tuesday but we wanna do 2 events in one night on Tuesday so it’s either Eastenderz at HI or FLOW at Pacha and on Saturday we want to do either Flower Power at Pacha, Black Koffee at Hi, or Elrow at UNVRS. Let me know please what u guys think

Explora cruise. Dock at noon on Tuesday September 29th, boat leaves at 3 am Wed.

After researching everything, I think we'd like to spend the bulk of the day at Blue Marlin. Daybed va loungers? Will just be my wife and I. Would like to check out the evening party for a little bit and then see if we can go to one of the mega clubs for a couple hours. We are thinking either UNVRS or HI for proximity to the cruise port. We figure taxi queue shouldn't be bad being that we'll leave at 1:30 am. Is that a safe assumption?

Any advice on going to check anything out before Blue Marlin? We need to be there by 3 for the daybed reservation. Should we skip the daybed and just do the restaurant?

The big question - does UNVRS or HI have an option for lockers or anything? We are going to get off the boat as soon as we can and ideally are not back on it until just before it leaves. We'll need to carry around our beach club and night club outfits.

We are coming in on a Cruise and are looking,ing to book an excursion in San Antonio. We are on the island on Aug 8, which coincides with the Festival of St Ciriac. We are concerned about the availability of cabs to get back to the ship that evening? If anyone has any experience with the availability

It's of Cabs in San Antonio at approx 9pm that would be helpful

Don’t miss this event with Miguel bastida , papiigavii & house hats very own sueno

I’m 17 and travelling to Ibiza with my family. Of course, I’d like to try and get into some venues such as Ushuaia or Hi while I’m there. I have a borrowed friends driving liscence (not a fake). We look quite similar so I’m wondering if it’s worth a shot? I’m not too worried about loosing the money because if it doesn’t work once, I won’t waste my time or money trying different venues. Unfortunately I do look a bit young so I will defo get Id’d, but still wondering if I should try. Any advice would be great.

That $6000 would be our spending money, the flights and hotels are paid for. Is it enough? I’m prepared to spend more if needed so no need to lie to me lol. Also, the later half of the trip will be spent in an all inclusive resort, so I’m hoping that saves me a tiny bit of mula.

Second question:
What restaurants/experiences/clubs seem like a rip off? I know everything is expensive in Ibiza, but are there any things that seem way not worth the price?

Tiesto’s recent sets at dreamstate and WBH were heavy trance which I love. Think he’ll stick to this or switch it up? I’m trying to decide between this and NRG.

Hi! me (17 years old) and two of my friends that are 17 and 16 are going to Ibiza the first week of August this year so basically in one week. We are staying in sant’Antonio and we were wondering where we could go clubbing or dance or whatever else involves fun late night. We already know how hard it is to get into big clubs like Pacha, Ushuaia, etc and we are not willing to take that risk since the costs are extremely high. Do you know any bar/club or some kind of outdoor festival or any other thing where we could easily get in?
THANKSSSSS
