Check out this list of where to go to enjoy some music while chilling out and living the Balearic lifestyle.
Playa d'en Bossa
Beachouse
Right on the beach, immersed in palm trees, Beachouse has been the ultimate party spot in past years. This summer, besides its daily music programming, it brings you moonlit dinners, dreamy performances and grounding ceremonies on Saturday nights. On top of it all, their Mediterranean cuisine is always delicious.
Nassau Beach Club
Open day and night, it's always a blast at Nassau Beach Club. Get a bucket - or even a bathtub - full of champagne to enjoy on your supersized sunbed while soaking in the stunning view of Formentera, the fortified old town of Dalt Vila and the blue Med. Whatever you're into, these guys can make it happen.
Ibiza Town and Marina Botafoch
