IBIZA WEEKEND

Ibiza in a Weekend

Ibiza - Celebrating, Exploring, and Unwinding

Wow — what a weekend!

We headed to Ibiza to celebrate a friend’s 50th birthday, and the island didn’t disappoint.

Even with just a long weekend, we managed to experience a wonderful mix of nightlife, dining, relaxation, and adventure. Here are some of the highlights:

Nightlife & Evening Activities

• Ushuaia with Calvin Harris – The perfect choice for a big night out. His set ended at midnight, which suited us perfectly (though the night can easily continue elsewhere).

• Pikes – A legendary Ibiza institution. With DJs scattered across a converted finca, there’s a vibe for everyone, from Freddie’s room to the infamous “bathroom club.” We even stayed until the end — 4am — before being greeted by the crowing hotel cockerel.

Beach Bars & Restaurants

Ibiza is dotted with incredible spots to eat, drink, and soak in the views. Some of our favourites included:

• Cala Gracioneta – A beautiful restaurant overlooking a small cove, perfect for a dip between courses.
• Beach House Ibiza – A stylish beachside venue, just a short walk from Ushuaia.
• Tapa Ibiza – A great choice for a relaxed dinner before a late night at Pikes.
• Cala Olivera – A smaller, quieter cove with a chilled atmosphere with a small cafe
• Amante Ibiza – A bar and restaurant perched dramatically on the cliffs — the kind of place that feels like “the place to be seen.”

Activities & Exploration

• E-Bike Adventure with hashaibiza – We explored the coastline around Cala Llonga on e-bikes, following pink-marked trails through hidden beaches and quiet bars, carefully avoiding the busier main roads. It was the perfect way to see the island.
• Yoga on the Veranda – A gentle practice was the perfect antidote to late nights, helping to shake off any lingering tiredness.

Where We Stayed

We based ourselves at Finca Legado Ibiza (main photo), and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Think rustic buildings blended with modern, stylish rooms, plenty of hidden nooks to relax in, and a pool that invites you to linger all day. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and personal — after just a few days, it felt like saying goodbye to friends.

As I sit and home to recover...

Our weekend in Ibiza was a wonderful reminder that the island is more than just nightlife. It’s a place where you can celebrate, explore, recharge, and savour some truly magical moments. Whether you’re looking for music, food, adventure, or calm — Ibiza really does have it all.
