The Ibiza diaries: September 19 – 25, 2023

Music Nights with Nabil Julian at Casa Linda

8pm – Tuesdays throughout September 2023

A pocket of tranquillity in the hills of San José, Casa Linda is the latest project from highly respected restaurateur Tomás Abellán, the mastermind behind Barcelona hotspots Casa Luz and Bar Alegría. For his first Balearic outpost – set within the garden of boutique hotel Jardins de Palerm – Abellán has enlisted the talented hands of Mariano Segura (formerly of Tickets, Barcelona) as head chef, while his sister Júlia Navarro has taken on restaurant manager duties. The result is an oasis of calm with kaleidoscopic sunset views and a menu rooted in Catalonian tradition. Tuesday evenings feature live acoustic music by Nabil Julian, who serenades diners among the trees and twinkling lights of the secret garden style restaurant.

Hyde Beach Day Pass at Hyde Ibiza

Daily throughout September 2023

Born on the salty, sun-kissed coastline of California, with a distinctly festival-inspired frame of mind, it was only a matter of time before the Hyde group of hotels opened its first outlet on the white isle. Situated on the sparkling shores of Cala Llonga, surrounded by bountiful nature, and just a short drive from the buzzing town of Santa Eulalia, Hyde Ibiza is at the heart of the action, injecting fresh life into the east coast. The hotel’s restaurants and pools are now also open to the public – dive into a pool day at Hyde Beach or Bungalow Pool for 75€ minimum spend per person for an individual sunbed, or 250€ for a Bali Bed for up to four people.

Solomun at the Port, Ibiza

8pm – Wednesday September 20, 2023

This Wednesday night heralds the return of one of Ibiza’s most popular annual open-air parties, as Diynamic main man Solomun comes back to the port. International clubbers, island residents and purveyors of fine music can unite beneath the Balearic sky, with the superyachts bobbing in the harbour behind the stage while Solomun plays a free gig as a way to say thank you to the island for supporting him this summer. Our top tip is to reserve a table at Casa Sudaca or Marea Ibiza Club as a base for pre-party cocktails and post-rave dinner.
