Don't think this one has been done before so here goes please join in :)
Mine was this year, April 4th. Woke up and walked outside to a nice overwhelming heat in the sun, almost unimaginable that it could be that warm. We walked through figueretas and stopped at a cafe for breakfast(about 10am), it was on the road to pdb and is opposite the tabac shop there. Anyway we walk in feeling ropey and order breakfast, it's full of locals and there's a table of local lads ages between 20 and 60 look like they're celebrating and the waiter brings a bottle of spirit over and fills their glasses while they are doing shots they look wasted :D but enjoying themselves all the same, we got a cab to Ibiza town sat outside a few bars, walked up to the top of dalt villa saw some planes took in the incredible views and saw a group of school kids on a trip. Had a pub crawl back, went to the beach walked for what seemed an eternity and every bar we stopped at felt like we lived among the locals frequenting it. Smiles all round, 20-23 degrees was boiling to us yet locals sat amongst us weather wooly jumpers or leather coats :D
Can't remember where we are that night but we hit the bars in figueretas and spoke to so many friendly people, English Scottish Latvian and of course ibicano and really could sense the close knit community even a small town had to offer. I think about it daily, more so then the all day/3 day benders I've done in years gone by and really felt a new love for my favourite place on earth. If I could only ever relive one day in Ibiza I'd take that day all day long.

I think I've lost the plot! But share anyway ha ha.
 
Oh yeah a few good ones.great place to stay anytime of year. We have flights booked for October 12-19 with the 2 kids. No hotel yet but its sure to be around that parish. :)
 
favourite time in Ibiza , thats a hard ask as every year we have partied and enjoyed ourselves so much.
great hospitality and weather to match, but 14th July 2009 at Ibiza rocks was just the bees knees.
why ......because at my age i thought feelings of joy and happiness at any concert had been and done it... got the t shirt.
well as 44 year old with his daughter who loves her Dance music but can appreciate her dads taste to...what a night we had.
after lazing about all day over in the Bay at our fav apts Marina Playa, life seemed so good a few drinks at the bar we then headed over to the Highlander another fav of ours. a nice plate of nachos with chilli sauce a few pints of cold tennants taking in the atmosphere that buzzes around west end early evening, locals walking dogs ,babies in push prams as mothers and fathers looking cool calm and relaxed enjoyed abience of west end. soon after we left the Highlander leaving mother and son to sit and relax in the company of the other tourists on the terrace. Ibiza rocks with daughter followed and what an evening of anthemic singalongs crowd huddled together in unison singing swaying as Keane ripped through the back catalogues of classics i cried with Happiness and pride at my daughter Carrie ...knowing the words to my band of indie boys, the night air smelt of pure charisma Peace & love and of course the odd smokie , but it was Heaven on earth it was Ibiza and it was " Somewhere only we Know "
it was hot summer night never to forget, the Ibiza love affair continues roll on this July.
 
Hello everybody,
Too many to list to be fair, most memorable 'event' would possibly have been new years eve 1999/2000 drinking bar Zuka dry, dancing like fools & waiting for the world to implode as the millennium bug kicked in (ask your parents)
 
I agree - too many to be listed one I do remember must have been in 2005/2006? After my son was born we took to having 3/4 nights on our own each year in Ibiza without the boy. This year I remember the plane landed and we went straight out to Pacha - must have been DefMix or something? Guest list job - great dancing - just amazed to actually be there soaking up the sounds on the dance floor. From there - in cab to Matinee at Space on Saturday morning (always a highlight of our trips - as it was our first date in 2001 when we met on the island!) bottle of bubbly for about 20 quid (those were the days), and stayed till nearly the end as usual - but now I was feeling tired - not used to all this excitement! Agreed we'd leave the club and go to BoraBora for the afternoon session and to chill/eat.... just leaving as deux sun rising ups unmissable intro booms out the main room doors - we both turn, smile and its back in till the end we go!! Eventually getting to BoraBora - DJ is on (Gordon Edge), have a little boogie, oops fading fast.... sangria - don't mind if I do.... next minute head on table eyes closing - just maybe a little nap, but still listening to the tunes... Don't know how long I'd passed out, but next thing I was aware of, some friendly local boys talking to my other half - pointing and laughing at me asleep on the table with all that going on around me, to which he replied 'pacha, space.....' 'aaaaaaaaah' they reply knowingly - I open my eyes and grin, to the new found respect they had for me and my ridiculous not yet even 24 hours on the island! I can't be beaten by boys.... eyes open - drink in hand, dancing the early evening away! Such friendly people, such great times. Bring on July 2014!
 
It would have to be one of the many fantastic days I have spent in Playa Den Bossa. Impossible to choose just one.
 
Winter 1997.February.
after a very wild night in a few bars,we(my wife and i) met our best friend,Miku(ibicenco) in DC-10,and believe me,DC-10 at this moment was so different than now...
We were very high and decided to go back to our north base in Portinatx.
And i saw this morning the most beautiful sunrise of my life on the salinas.The sky was red,the sun enormous.
We stopped to see it,decided that the night had to continue,and went back to Portinatx 36 hours later...

Are you sure? If I'm correct dc10 opened july 1999
 
First time I went to Ibiza in 97 with some mates, the day started in Bar-M we all got into a total mess. From there it’s all a blur of swimming fully clothed in the hotel pool, hitting the west end getting split up from everyone, watching the coloured fountain show, getting in a taxi back to Bar-M which my friend in a total coincidence tried to get in as I got out. Then going to the Kiss closing party in Es Paradis, the taxi dropped us at the top of the queue (which was miles long) just as they opened the door, we asked the folk at the front if they minded if we went in front of them to which they said “No” so we said that’s ok we’ll just go behind you and effectively queue skipped everyone, got pelters inside from folk who had queued for hours.

After that has to be 2005 with the wife and drinking rose wine in cafe Savanna with Trevor Nelson on the decks and some dude on the Sax.
