I'll echo what others have said here -- age seems to matter so much less in Ibiza, particularly compared to how it seems to be in America. Part of it I guess is that people of all ages vacation on the island, and I think more older Europeans still like to go out, party, and have a good time. Some venues and shows skew older than others, but even Martin Garrix at Ushuaia will have a fair share of people who are 40+ (even me from time to time).I'm so removed from the lifestyle that once would have had me front and center at Ushuaia or Amnesia...
And if I were to go to Ibiza, I honestly would feel really out of place at a mainstream venue at this point in my life. I'll be forty two in about a month. I look old, and I am divested from the nightlife in my native southern California - I can barely convince myself to go out for dinner...
But I am drawn to Ibiza's charm, and as I mentioned, I'm really curious about Marriott's W in Santa Eulalia, which I perceive as likely more solitude than PdB as it were...
If anything, it's more about still finding your youthful and open-minded attitude -- to leave your cares and concerns and expectations at home, and to just discover and enjoy the experience as it is. Much as Ibiza has been my "happy place" for over a decade, I've started to hold off suggesting it to friends as I've come to know a surprising number of Americans who don't love their time time there. I think they're expecting the next level of what they know from Las Vegas or Miami or Los Angeles, and they don't connect with the island's own unique character and attitude.
