As most parties here on Ibiza, New Year's is not a one-night affair. If anything, the occasion proffers a proper blessing to keep the party going as long possible. With festivities regularly extending without an end in sight on a nondescript night, you can imagine what New Year's can warrant.
Here on the White Isle, New Year's parties start with dinner and dancing on 31 December and continue with afterparties kicking off on 2 January. With such an extended celebration, you will be spoiled for choice, celebrating the arrival of 2018 for over 48 hours if you like. How fiercely you want to welcome the new year remains up to you.
