Whether you’ve woken up fresh on NYD, or you’ve just stumbled out of your New Year’s Eve party in need of sunglasses, there’s one common question in Ibiza at around 11am – where to go before Circo Loco kicks off? There’s only one party to be at: 1.1.11 at Sirocco, the beautiful beach bar on Playa D’en Bossa, brought you by the people who put on last year's hugely successful New Year's Day party at Delano. Sip champagne cocktails in the sunlight on the beach or recover with a hair of the dog on comfy sofas inside while being entertained by a 'top secret' DJ line-up until 6pm. We can’t name names right now… but here’s a hint: check out who else is playing around the island and on the mainland the night before.
