Somewhere in the Mediterranean sea lies the beautiful island of Ibiza. Part of the Balearic Islands and an archipelago of Spain, Ibiza is world famous for its nightlife, sandy coves, blue waters and hills.
An island full of mystery, beauty, majesty and pure magic, Ibiza is said to have healing powers, a place of peace and prosperity, protected by the goddess Tanit – it really is a place like no other.
We are Ibiza’s PR experts, driving people into places and generating coverage with local, national and international press. Over the past few years have had the pleasure of working with some of the island’s most beautiful and exciting destinations, from exquisite dining, colourful parties and luxury boutique hotels.
Our main objective is to showcase these destinations to a UK and international audience, resulting in the most powerful form of PR, word of mouth. In the lead up and during the Ibiza season, we work hard on securing key coverage for our clients, ensuring that anyone visiting the island is aware of the best places to experience exceptional gastronomy, fine cocktails and parties with an electric atmosphere.
Our current Ibiza client roster includes IZAKAYA Ibiza and THE BUTCHER Ibiza, Cotton Beach Club, Can Sastre, La Discotheque X Ibiza Rocks, Stay Safe Ibiza and Ibiza Art Fair.
In September, as the season was winding down for the year, the whole team got together to catch up with our clients and showcase the results we had secured, as well as soaking up the sights and sounds of the island.
As we landed in Ibiza and our wonderful client Dale from Stay Safe Ibiza kindly picked us up and drove us to our first location, our client, the small and romantic hideaway of Can Sastre, a beautiful agroturismo hotel.
Situated just a 10 minute drive away from Ibiza Town in the rural heart of the Island, Can Sastre offers guests a secret slice of paradise. Complete with three stylish casitas (small guest houses) and two spacious villa suites, Can Sastre offers all the comforts and services of a five-star boutique hotel, with an in-house chef serving up a beautiful and tasty breakfast for us complete with fresh juices and coffee. By the poolside, an honesty bar is located, filled with premium drinks to enjoy.
The decor of the hotel combines Scandinavian and Ibizan bohemian influences, creating a relaxed and idyllic atmosphere, a true touch of serenity.
“Providing a hideaway to disconnect from the real world whilst reconnecting with nature at its most visceral and decadently alluring.” We Heart
“Things here feel homespun and instantly relaxing – it’s as good a spot to hide entirely from the rest of the island as it is a launchpad from which to explore.” Conde Nast Traveller
Kick-starting our Ibiza gastronomy tour, we headed to the exquisite IZAKAYA Ibiza, owned by our lovely client THE ENTOURAGE GROUP. A culinary hotspot taking Asian gastronomy to the next level, IZAKAYA combines extravagant Japanese cuisine with a South American twist – resulting creating in some of the most sophisticated and exceptional food we have ever eaten. Team favourites were the Momo Roll which combines tuna, salmon, seabass, avocado in a single roll and topped with tarragon miso and the Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna Tartare. This place is revolutionary and unique – a must-try.
I’m excited to dine at the island’s renowned Japanese restaurant, IZAKAYA. Its drool-worthy menu of Japanese dishes with a South American influence includes yellowtail sashimi with huancaína sauce and passionfruit salsa.” Vogue
“For dinner, head to IZAKAYA restaurant, which has some of most delectable sushi on the island.” Daily Telegraph
Having worked with La Discotheque since its infancy in Manchester, nothing brought us more joy than to see them takeover the iconic Ibiza Rocks Hotels for a series of pool parties. Glittering performers, DJ’s and crew greeted us as we arrived, soaking up the beautiful blue skies, dancing until the sun set on our magical first day on the White Isle.
“Spearheading the daytime pool party revolution, Ibiza Rocks Hotel is now synonymous with sunshine disco, house and UK garage. La Discotheque welcomes Artwork, Derrick Carter, Doorly and 2ManyDJs in August/September.” Mixmag
“What better way to spend an afternoon, then basking in the sun whilst grooving to disco cuts from across the decades? An array of overqualified selectors will be digging deep and supplying a blend of rare, dusty records.” Ibiza Spotlight
Following La Discotheque, we ended our first evening in Ibiza at Circoloco, the iconic Monday night at DC-10.
The following day, ready to soak up some sun, sea and sangria, we headed to a place that radiates Ibizan cool, our client, Cotton Beach Club, ready for a working lunch with a difference. The beautiful all-white restaurant with panoramic views of the Mediterranean and sandy beaches below, Cotton Beach Club is a first-class restaurant offering a menu of fresh sushi, seafood and Mediterranean inspired dishes. The food was refreshing, full of flavour and all enjoyed in exceptional surroundings. It was truly perfect.
“The see-and-be-seen Cotton Beach Club at the nearby Tarida beach offers one of the best views on the island while dining, namely, sweeping views of the rock outcroppings.” Forbes
“Most of all, the mouth-watering food at Cotton Beach Club that much more. What’s not to miss? A terrace restaurant right on the beach, sangria (made with champagne of course), a scrumptious menu comprised of sushi and their speciality, grilled fish and meats (their John Dory and sea bass being a highlight).” Vogue
Following our working lunch, we couldn’t leave without a quick trip down the white stairs to the beautiful sandy beach of Cala Tarida, running into the blue waves, enjoying the warm rays of the sun.
After our time at Cotton Beach Club, we headed to the Port of Ibiza and to THE BUTCHER, known for serving the best bloody burgers in the Balearic. Again, another venue from our clients THE ENTOURAGE GROUP, we enjoyed a true burger party, all finished off with some spectacular sweet potato fries and boozy milkshakes, before heading off to enjoy a night at Hi Ibiza.
“The Butcher for upscale burgers” Forbes
We spent our final day in Ibiza, working from the beautiful Can Sastre, our home-away-from-home. With one last dip in the stunning turquoise pool, we headed to the airport and revelled in our last sights of this enchanting island, which in our eyes, is the centre of the world.
We’re delighted with the press coverage we have achieved for our Ibiza portfolio during the 2019 season, looking ahead to summer 2020, we already have exciting plans in place…For more information on how We Are Indigo can help your Ibiza destination, please contact Gemma Krysko – gemma@weareindigopr.com
