Few places hold the global lure and legendary status of Caf� del Mar and what’s more, it has retained it for well over three decades. A corner of heaven overlooking the sea with divine music and a sunset view, it is a symbol of the Ibiza par excellence, a core landmark, and one the hottest sunset spots on the island. Also as an independent record label, its music compilations have achieved fabled standing, both for those who want to remember their visit and for those who long to go. Tantamount to stellar chill out, Caf� del Mar is the ultimate venue for any Ibiza trip, a place guaranteed to leave a mark that remains within forever.

The Cirque De La Nuit boat party is not like most Ibiza boat parties, not only does it collaborate with some of the biggest club brands on the island but it regularly welcomes the biggest DJs, offering its clientele an option of getting up close and enjoying an intimate boat party experience with some of the heavyweight talent that lands on the island every summer. From Solomun to DJ Sneak, it adds another dimension to your time on the water.

Ibiza is, without question, the party capital of the world; every major brand sets up home for the summer and every DJ with their salt makes at least one appearance during the summer season. The island, however, is not just an adrenalin fuelled clubbing theme park, there is a spiritual side to the island that counter balances the mayhem and somehow resets the equilibrium on a daily basis; to get a glimpse of what we are talking about, check out Cafe Mambo any night of the week for their world renowned sunset celebration.
