What a week - its taken a bit of recovery time - certain obvious details have been omitted….
Staying at amazing apartments in Playa D'en Bossa so had the perfect chill out place, very much needed.
Arrived Sunday 8th July from a disgustingly wet Gatwick - sun, so that's what it looks like…
Sunday evening was spent at an amazing restaurant in Talamanca. Fantastic Lobster Ravioli, good wine and a fantastic view of Ibiza Town. Our toast at midnight…'here's to this being the best we are going to feel all week…'
Monday was spent at Salinas with a great lunch at Jockey Club - 'fuel for that evening' one of out party pointed out.
By 7.30pm we were at DC10.
As usual this was the absolute highlight of my trip - 2 minutes in and I was thinking I was actually going to have to leave (it seemed SO SO loud) but of course I got used to it almost immediately. Sound system is out of this world - chunky and clear. Music erred somewhere between Deep House and Minimal (love love love) - had not been for 3 years and was definitely more accessible for some of the more housey guys in the group than back then. Chatted to loads of people too.
Moved from the terrace to main room for last 10 minutes - astonishing finale, impossible to describe.
Just go if you haven't been….
Tuesday was a sleepy day at Chiringay Beach and Tuesday night a chilled one in Ibiza town
Wednesday was in stark contrast to Monday clubbing wise - La Troya at Amnesia.
This is always a great night - really mixed, great music, insane shows….and its back at the Terrace in Amnesia which is one of my fave venues.
Having said that, it was a bit disappointing to be honest. Boy George was DJing for a while. He can't mix and the music was old. Did my head in. The show seemed a bit half hearted too although there was some strange and fabulous drag (actually got chatting to one of the Drag Queens the next day at Rock Bar in Ibiza Town - thought she was an glamourous ageing Italian. Turns out it was a Northern bloke called Eric. I am not kidding).
La Troya was followed by an apartment party back at ours and no sleep so Thursday night was food then bed….
Friday was Never Say Never at Ushuaia - Sasha. Pretty downbeat but decent music and it was not too packed. Felt good dancing outside and having an early-ish finish (midnight)….ruined it of course by going into Ibiza Town til 6.
Last full day spent by the pool and then Zoo Project (was curious). Did not stay long. Crowd were up for it but way too young and boozy. Loved the concept though and the music was great.
All in all then an ace week.
Not sure I could do it again in a hurry though….yeah right.

Where in Talamanca did you eat?
. Never works that idea of going to bed after a day party !
