Bring the beat back: Beat Hotel returns to Ibiza

The most ambitious five-dayer yet, based at Las Mimosas but spanning multiple locations.

Starting Wednesday 27 September until Sunday 1 October, Beat Hotel is coming back to the island for its most ambitious extended weekend yet.

Offering music lovers the chance to "rediscover the liberatory energy that made Ibiza a beacon of contemporary pilgrimage in the first place", Beat Hotel spans various locations across five days in 2023.

Based at Las Mimosas Boutique Hotel & Spa in San Antonio Bay, its return seeks to reconnect a new generation of experience seekers with the original Balearic ideal.

Daily swim clubs, afternoon barbecues, poolside DJs and decompression exercises fill daytime activities before attendees can dive into the nighttime programme unfolding across the island.

Two ticketed parties are widely billed as the height of proceedings.

The first takes place at Cova Santa on 29 September. Perel, Raw Silk and Willie Graff all DJ outside, while Sofia Kourtesis joins them for a live set. Later downstairs in the club space, Daniel Avery, Gabrielle Kwarteng and John Talabot and Alex Boman project Talaboman continue the dancefloor entertainment until the early hours.

The following night, Beat Hotel returns to Las Dalias and Akasha in the hippy north. Camilo Miranda, Spirit of Sundaze Ensemble and Suze Ijó are all on hand for that. If last year's San Carlos jaunt (pictured above) was anything to go by, then we consider this unmissable.

The programme culminates at Pikes, linking with Pikes On Sunday on 1 October. Shanti Celeste back-to-back Roi PerezWillie Graff, Dicky Trisco and Louise Chen join Tales Of The Unexpected hosts The Brothers Grim from midday to 04:00 at the swansong.

Earlier in the week, there are also evening sessions at The Standard (28 October) with DJ sets from Gaya Brisa and Luke Unabomber, plus a talk with Scottish novelist, screenwriter, poet and label owner, Irvine Welsh.

The opening ceremony takes place at sunset spot Hostal La Torre from 17:00 on 27 September.
