Every year, Ibiza locks in its spot as the go-to destination — the island everyone’s talking about, posting about, or planning as a stop on their Euro summer. What was once known purely for its hedonistic nightlife has evolved into something much more: a melting pot of lifestyle, fine dining, and wellness, drawing in tastemakers and trendsetters from all over the globe. From beach clubs to designer pop-ups, boutique hotels, and world-class restaurants, Ibiza continues to reinvent itself while keeping that unmistakable Balearic spirit alive. We’ve pulled together a list of our favourite hotspots that define the island right now.

CLAP Ibiza

Pool Club, Restaurant & Fitness hub

CLAP HOUSE Ibiza, part of the acclaimed CLAP restaurant group known for its popular Japanese fine-dining venues in Beirut, Dubai and London, brought a new level of luxury to the island with its latest location in Talamanca. Combining a sophisticated restaurant, an adults-only pool club, and a state-of-the-art wellness and fitness facility, it quickly became one of Ibiza’s most raved-about openings. The venue’s summer collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana added a touch of high-fashion flair, featuring the brand’s signature leopard-print décor and a chic pop-up boutique showcasing curated pieces. CLAP HOUSE Ibiza has closed its doors for the season but will reopen in summer 2026, promising an exciting comeback. Be sure to add it to your itinerary when planning your next visit to the island.

LÍO, set on the Marina with stunning views of Dalt Vila, is an iconic venue where fine dining, cabaret and nightlife collide, bringing a unique experience to the Balearic Islands. Since opening in 2011, LÍO has been one of the island’s go-to hotspots, drawing in crowds who enjoy dining in style and top-tier entertainment — a place where dinner meets performance and dinner feels like a front-row seat to pure enjoyment. Expect high-energy entertainment from some of the most talented performers, international DJs, and a menu rich in Mediterranean flavours. As the curtains close on the unforgettable Spectacularrr season, Lio Ibiza takes a well-earned pause, set to return in December for a special New Year’s Eve celebration.
