Fusing Japanese tradition with Ibicenco charm, Nagai stands out on Ibiza’s renowned San Juan ‘restaurant road’ thanks to walls decked with a unique urban art installation – an incredible geisha painting by internationally renowned artist Findac.

Nagai invites one and all to enjoy the menu created by award-winning head chef Reina Nagai, with an optional wine and sake pairing. Additionally, according to Japanese culture, the most important of all the food and drink items offered to a god on Japanese New Year (January 01 – so after the clock strikes 12am!) is sake, so in the lead-up to New Year, Nagai invites guests to sample five cups of different artisanal sakes for 20€ per person – a blessing from the gods indeed!

12pm – Saturday January 01, 2022
Taking the plunge into the chilly sea at Las Salinas on the first day of the year has long been an Ibiza tradition; one that became something of a ritual when the Hamersma family – the brains behind the popular Vino & Co store in San José – began to host the day as an official event just over ten years ago. This year, due to restrictions, the event will continue albeit with some slightly different methods. Instead of setting up communal tables for food and drink on the beach, participants have been asked to snap up an Individual Picnic Bag from Vino & Co in the days prior to the event – each printed and reusable Vino & Co bag includes a bottle of AIX wine or a bottle of Goldtooth Vermouth, along with four glasses, a bag of Mr Chippy crisps, a tin of olives or cookies. Bags are 10€ and 5€ of the cost will be donated to local charity Proyecto Juntos. Participants are encouraged to share photos and tag on social media to still make a splash as they ring in the new year.
12pm – Saturday January 01, 2022
For those who don’t fancy getting up early for brunch on New Year’s Day, the good people at Six Senses Ibiza have your culinary needs covered.

Starters are served to share and include a quinoa salad with local fennel, orange and mint, green beans with confit tomato and quail egg, beetroot salad with tahini and black pepper, and pumpkin with Stracciatella and sage. For your main course, choose between luscious lamb chops with yoghurt, pistachio and pomegranate or wild fish with white asparagus, coconut and orange, with sweets to follow. Tickets are 70€ per person including detox juices, healthy shots and coffee, or 155€ per person including detox juices, Bloody Marys, cava and Six Senses organic wine. Another feast to remember, and if you’re feeling truly brave you could even follow it with a bracing dip in the sea.
1pm – Saturday January 01, 2022

The perfect way to start the first day of the new year… and perhaps end up in a food coma!

Just when you thought the party was over… you remembered this is Ibiza, and there’s always a party somewhere if you know where to look! The island’s number one after party crew, Keep On Dancing, head back to the golden sands of Bora Bora on the beach at Playa d’en Bossa for the next instalment in their famed El Día Dos parties. From 4pm to 4am, you can dance the day and night away in either the techno or disco room (or both!), with music courtesy of Alex Neri, Andrea Fiorito, Nightmares on Wax, Richy Ahmed, Stephane Ghenacia, Cyril Claudel, Knario, Alex & Ion Pott, Marlon, Ferdinan Monk, David Prim, Kirinisky and a very special secret guest. Definitely an event for those who still have stamina (or maybe those who took the time to sneak a disco nap in between parties). Tickets are 35€ and you’ll need to show your Covid passport or negative PCR or antigen test on the door.
