Justin’s top 5 Ibiza “Must Do’s”
1. Catch rays at Benirras Beach
My favourite beach on Ibiza, and probably the most bohemian on the island. Benirras is a gorgeous sheltered sandy cove on the North West coast not far from San Miguel. Loungers are still less than 10 Euros for the day, and if you stop by for sunset on a Thursday you’ll be serenaded by bongo playing locals.
2. Drink at KM5
Moroccan themed outdoor bar and restaurant situated 5km out of Ibiza Town on the San Jose road. This is where you’ll find the islands top dj’s hanging out before their sets. Great music, great cocktails and a seriously stylish crowd.
3. Eat at Sands Playa D’en Bossa
A fantastic place to pitch yourself in you’re staying on Playa D’en Bossa. If you’re lucky you might even catch Carl Cox making an impromptu appearance on the decks, and the food is a fusion of Ibizan and Japanese. As well as guest dj’s, they even have famous guest chefs making an appearance throughout the summer.
4. Visit Santa Gertrudis
This isn’t a normal stop on the tourist trail but it’s a gorgeous little town that if I lived on Ibiza would be my location of choice. There’s a vibrant square, some cool boutiques, a great tapas bar and new little restaurants opening every year.
Party all night at Eden
Eden is my summer residency and the only old school night on the island. Come to Kisstory on a Friday night at Eden San Antonio and you’ll be guaranteed more hands in the air moments than anywhere else on the island. I’ll be joined by DJ EZ, Rui Di Silva, Wideboys, Ratpack and more.
