How to have the perfect 24 hours in Ibiza
Our hour-by-hour guide is here
2pm – Snorkeling
Ever fancied swimming alongside the notoriously erratic bottlenose penguin ape, native to Balearic waters? Well, unfortunately you can’t. Like many exotic European species, the BPA died out at the same time as the puff bellied warbler, sometime towards the end of the last century. Nevertheless, aquatic life is still bountiful in Ibizan waters.If you don’t believe us, book a time slot with a professional dive school and explore the paradise scenes off Es Vedrá. Otherwise, snap up one of those great snorkel masks from Decathlon for a measly 30€ and start befriending the marine life at Cala Bassa.
3pm – ANTS at Ushuaïa
Surely 3pm is a little early in the day to be stomping around to deep house and techno, right? Wrong. ANTS at Ushuaïa is one of the few big parties in Ibiza that truly demands your attention as soon as the doors open. For the first three or four hours, when the sun is still beating down, the party takes place at the back of the venue under layers of camouflage netting, a dynamic which fosters a wonderfully intimate underground atmosphere on the poolside dancefloor. When the show relocates to the main stage later in the evening, the DJs start dropping their big hits and inevitably some of the buzz is lost.
4pm – Cliff Diving
Back in 2013, Australian DJ Liv Nervo chipped a tooth and injured the vertebrae in her back whilst cliff jumping with EDM superhero Steve Aoki in a remote part of Ibiza. If you fancy jumping off some of the best 10 metre peaks the White Isle has to offer, you might consider tagging along with a professional cliff jumping crew. Not only do they know the safest spots on the island, they also carry the right equipment with them should anything go wrong.
