FREE & EASY!
Living it up in Ibiza can be a credit-shredding experience, but it doesn’t have to be. Nor
do you have to spend the entire week on the beach nursing tins of Strongbow and
living on bread rolls to squeeze the most from your holiday pound. Check our fi x of free
party options that prove a grand’s worth of fun can come for free.

PRE-PARTIES Cafe Mambo
Want to see superstar DJs but
don’t want to pay super-size
prices for the privilege? Then get
off the beach and down to the
pre-parties. Get in gear a few
hours earlier and you can see
the likes of Erick Morillo, David
Guetta, Steve Angello or Armin
Van Buuren up close and personal
— for free!
Look out for parties at Mambo,
Café del Mar and Sunset on San
An’s sunset strip, Tantra in Playa
d’en Bossa, and at Soap and Zoo
Bar, in Ibiza Town. The other perk
of pre-parties is discounted club
entry to lure you along to the
main event. Privilege and Amne-
sia also run free shuttle buses.
