BANKS

There are cashpoints and banks in several locations across the island, but as we said before, the best way to manage your cash is to change up currency before you arrive. UK debit and credit cards are accepted in the majority of venues across the island, but you will often be asked to show photo ID when paying by card, such as a drivers license or passport.

BBI Tip: most banks in Spain work from 9am till 2pm, although a few of them have an extended schedule on Thursday, working until 8 pm (but usually with the “siesta” break).

WHAT’S NEW FOR 2017?

We´re extremely excited about the launch of the new superclub HÏ Ibiza, which will sit on the hallowed ground which once housed the legendary nightclub Space, and the whole island is waiting to see what wonders this new venue will bring... Another fabulous new venue will be the Nobu Hotel which will bring a touch of LA luxury to the Talamanca bay.

Party wise, everyone is talking about Carl Cox´s new residency at superclub Privilege which is bound to be a sell out every Tuesday, and another Ibiza legend, Paul Oakenfold is set to takeover Pikes Hotel each Wednesday night from 2nd until the 23rd of August. On a daytime vibe, Pete Tong will be rocking the Blue Marlin every second Sunday from June onwards, and cult promoters Elrow will be hosting their very own pool parties at Ibiza Rocks Hotel in August. The eternally popular Zoo Project parties will now have a Tuesday night gathering, and we expect the crowds to go crazy for this one.

For new dining destinations, check out El Deseo in Santa Eulalia, a Mexican fusion venue which not only offers excellent cocktails but a divine selection of South American inspired dishes. Also we can´t wait to try the new gastro bar, Cube, located just off Figueretas beach. The tempting menu offers tapas, fish and chips, American burgers, tuna tataki and much more. For the sunseekers amongst you, the already much loved Beachclub Amante will be opening her sister club, Aiyanna on the shores of Cala Nova, and with a big reputation to live up to, we are sure the expert team will be pulling out all the stops.
