The most environmentally sensitive and sustainable beach bar on Ibiza, tucked away in a (semi) hidden cove at Cala Conta has leapt to the top of the polls this season – congrats! Keep reading
Runner-up: La Torre Ibiza
Nestled atop the craggy cliffside of Cap Negret on Ibiza’s west coast, this is one of the last bastions of the authentic Ibiza sunset culture, celebrating the Balearic beat, capturing the magic of Ibiza’s bygone days and saluting the kaleidoscopic skies all year round. Read more
Honorary mentions: It looks like the old school might be having a resurgence, with both Sunset Ashram and Café del Mar making quite a mark in the results this season.
Best Bar
Winner: Paradise Lost
With drip-inked paintings, luxe leather Chesterfield sofas and fab musical soundscapes, the kitsch décor, unique feel and highly coiffable cocktails – not to mention the eclectic crowd who gravitate up its stairs – have elevated this intimate drinking den in the heart of the cobbled streets of Sa Penya to cult-like status, as it scoops the top spot once again in 2025. Read more
Runner-up: UP at The Standard, Ibiza
It’s the first time this stylish rooftop bar has ascended (pardon the pun) into one of the top spots in this highly competitive category but it’s easy to see why our readers love it – iconic views of Dalt Vila, great soundtracks and fab cocktails make it a must-visit when in Ibiza town. Keep reading
Honorary mentions: Ooh, this was a close one! Hot on the heels of our reigning champ and new runner-up are Room Service Ibiza, Mr Freddy and S’Escalinata, with just a few points between them all, along with Ibiza town’s BORN also making some serious moves. This is definitely one to watch in 2026!

Best Club
Winner: Freddies at Pikes Ibiza
Winning this category by a landslide (again!), this tiny club was once the favoured hotel suite of the unforgettable Queen frontman when he regularly stayed at Pikes. Now, the intimate party space – named in Freddie Mercury’s honour, obviously – is a seven-nights-a-week playground of hedonism for grown-up clubbers hidden in the island’s western hills. Read more
Runner-up: 528 Ibiza
Tucked into the rolling hills of Benimussa on the west coast of the island, this open-air venue –run by IRG – with deep island roots and some serious underground pedigree has brought a fresh perspective to island clubbing in a year of major change. Keep reading
Honorary mentions: The icon that is DC-10 Ibiza was only just pipped for runner-up by just a few points, and coming in extremely hot was the world’s first hyperclub [UNVRS]. The island’s clubbing landscape is changing indeed and our readers seems to like the best of both worlds.
Best Art Space
Winner: Can Art
Winning this category by a landslide, this annual event, now in its fourth year, a brings together international galleries, local artists and design creatives for four inspiring days in venues across Ibiza and there’s no doubt about it – our readers love it! Read more
Runner-up: MACE – Museo d’Art Contemporani d’Eivissa
Set within the ancient walls of Dalt Vila, the island’s first major contemporary gallery merges Ibiza’s cultural heritage with global contemporary artistic voices and we’re pleased to see it get the kudos it deserves!
Honorary mentions: It was the first year we introduced this category, and it was super impressive to see two new, very intimate galleries come in at equal third place, showing there’s no such thing as too big and or too small when it comes to art spaces in Ibiza – congrats to OLAS Gallery and In-Between Ibiza for making such a big impression in their early days!
Best Newcomer
Winner: 528 Ibiza
After teasing us with a few one-off events last summer, this old-school open-air club with a hidden indoor nightclub and theatre launched itself as a major player in the clubbing industry in 2025 – and our readers definitely took note! Read more
Runner-up: [UNVRS]
Lauded as the world’s very first ‘hyperclub’ and masterminded by the nightlife experts at The Night League, the 2025 opening of [UNVRS] is the most anticipated Ibiza club event in the global party scene in decades and it’s no surprised it scored so high in our survey. Keep reading
Honorary mentions: The swanky new CLAP HOUSE Ibiza and gorgeous beach restaurant Es Fumeral have clearly also been winning the hearts of our readers, as they also scored super high in this highly competitive category.
Island Icon
Winner: Pikes Ibiza
Were we surprised to see Pikes Ibiza claim its place as island icon? Was anyone surprised based on how popular they are with White Ibiza readers in all categories? Well, while there weren’t really any surprises here it certainly is well-deserved after 45 years of myths, legends, adventures, characters, events and so much more. Congrats Pikes! Read more
Runner-up: Bar Anita’s
A former hippie hangout in San Carlos that still evokes the true spirit of Ibiza, this cornerstone of island culture will never go out of style. Open all year round, for breakfast lunch and dinner and still serving up the same recipes as it was in the 60s, there’s no question this restaurant remains firmly in our readers’ hearts, even when they’re not on the island!
Honorary mention: The Fish Shack, the no-name humble little chiringuito on the rocky outcrops past Talamanca is nipping at the heels of our two frontrunners – we wouldn’t be surprised if 2026 saw another shuffle.
Best One-Off Event
Winner: Solomun at The Port
The annual free party in the port, hosted by Diynamic main man Solomun in collaboration with Pacha Ibiza has long been a favourite of White Ibiza readers, as island residents, workers and holidaymakers come together beneath the skyline of Dalt Vila to dance to one of the world’s finest DJs in the open air. 2025 marked the 11th edition of the event – it’s been running one year longer than we’ve had awards!
Runner-up: Freddie Rocks at Pikes Ibiza
We love it when a party has a heart, and our readers seem to think so too. The soirée that celebrates legendary Queen singer Freddie Mercury’s iconic birthday bash at Pikes has once again scored high in this category, and while guests danced in his former hotel suite, they also raised money for Mercury Phoenix Trust – the foundation launched by Freddie’s bandmates and manager.
Honorary mentions: Making a play for the top spots this year were also Cocoon at 528 Ibiza and interestingly, the annual Eivissa Medieval – a cultural four-day festival that celebrates the island’s heritage just before the main summer season begins.
Best Recurring Event
Winner: Not Your Standard Bingo at Jara at The Standard, Ibiza
Eyes down and bottoms up, this weekly winter event at the über-fashionable Vara De Rey hotel, The Standard, Ibiza, every Wednesday pipped all the island’s summer events by a mile for the top spot, proving the island really is becoming more of a year-round destination. Be sure to check out hosts BLONDEWEARINGBLACK and José Boto calling the numbers, with cocktails aplenty and prizes worth shouting about each week.
Runner-up: Full Moon Nights at Aiyanna Ibiza
A night that channels the island’s bohemian heritage then fuses it with contemporary culinary flair, these monthly events on Cala Nova are some of the most in-demand night’s on the restaurant’s bookings calendar. When you see the moon rise dramatically from the sea before your eyes and taste the masterful Mediterranean cuisine, you’ll understand exactly why our readers love it so much.
Honorary mentions: The buzzy weekly Tacos & Tequila sessions at CUYO and the spring and autumn Miso Hungry nights at Bambuddha show our readers really do love their foodie hotspots – these two were in equal third place.
Best Club Night
Winner: Pikes Presents at 528 Ibiza
It was the little experiment that could. Taking one of the most popular pop-up events from the Freddies calendar and moving it across the road to a completely different setting – although expertly booked and run by the same team – on a weekly basis was a risk, but it’s one that paid off. This is the night that brought people of all ages together, from all corners of the island and the globe, with some of the most iconic names in dance music at the helm. And on top of that, it has its own little after party onsite. Old Ibiza energy with new island soul.
Runner-up: Circoloco at DC-10 Ibiza
For the last 26 years, Mondays in Ibiza have been all about Circoloco at DC-10 Ibiza, the little club with the big booming heart situated at the end of the runway near Ibiza airport in San Jordi and our readers continue to score it as one of their favourite party nights each summer.
Honorary mentions: There’s no doubt the king is back: Carl Cox at [UNVRS] shot into third place like a rocket and we wouldn’t be surprised to see some more shake-ups in here next year.
Congratulations to all THE 2025 winners and runners-up!
