💡 Insider Tips

🎫
How to Save on Clubs

Buy tickets online (€10-20 off). Get promoter wristbands at beach/bars (discounts/free drinks). Workers parties for free entry. Boat parties include drinks. Don't buy rounds at €20/drink! Pre-drink hard. Share taxi costs.

⚠️
Safety & Scams

Watch drinks (spiking happens). Don't buy drugs (undercover police). Taxi scams at airport (use meter or fixed price). Fake promoters selling fake tickets. Keep valuables in hotel safe. Stay with friends!

🏨
Accommodation Strategy

Book 6+ months ahead July-August. Playa d'en Bossa = clubs walking distance (loud). Ibiza Town = balanced. San Antonio = budget. Airbnb often better value than hotels. Party hotels = meet people. Stay sober = Villa away from noise!

🌅
Sunset Ritual

Café del Mar iconic but overpriced (€15 drinks). Nearby bars same view, cheaper. Cala Comte beach sunset free. Es Vedrà from Cala d'Hort magical. Arrive 6pm for good spot. Do once = experience, don't go every night!

👥
Going Solo

Super easy to meet people! Hostel pool parties, boat parties, beach bars. Ask promoters at beach for group plans. Join pub crawls. Everyone friendly and partying. Safest solo destination. Meet locals at hippy markets!

🩺
Recovery Tips

Drink water constantly (hot + dehydrating + alcohol = disaster). Eat proper meals. Electrolytes help. Beach afternoon = rest. Don't go out 7 nights straight! Spa day mid-week. Siesta culture exists for reason. Pace yourself!
