What could be more Ibiza, than carefree dancing outdoors under the skies? The island's climate, history and culture were built for this. When that's "not enough", add some stunning vistas and a level of decadence that only Pacha Group can provide, and that's where Destino Five steps in.
From a clifftop in Cap Martinet, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and some of Ibiza's most iconic landmarks, sits the adult-only hotel and lifestyle resort from the guys with the cherries. True to form, it's dripping in sex appeal and aspirational allure.
Its location, facilities and white-wash decor already place it amongst the very best hotel experiences Ibiza has to offer. But Destino Five Ibiza is not finished...
The venue also doubles up as a party destination for a round dozen events a summer spread out from April to October. Does it make those twelve count? You bet.
In our next Ibiza club rewind, we look at some of the best and give you a feel for the vibe.
BLOND:ISH | Music On Daytime | 2023
Ever since Music On jumped ship to Pacha in 2019, we've had the pleasure of Marco Carola and his cohorts taking over Destino Five multiple times a summer. Outdoors and in the sunshine, these vibes are unmatched. This is what partying on Ibiza is all about.
Recorded a couple of years ago, Canadian DJ, producer and label owner BLOND:ISH underlined her rapidly growing appeal by warming up for the big man. Fortunately for us, the cameras were there to capture it.
Her Afro-infused set contains music from Carlita, HUGEL and Todd Edwards. This will get you in the mood for summer. If this takes your fancy, BLOND:ISH starts her own residency at Destino Five's sister-club Pacha in 2025.
Luciano | Destino Closing Party | 2016
You can always count on Luciano to pop up at least once a summer at Destino Five. In 2016, he brought his Luciano & Friends party to Cap Martinet for a series of alfresco outings. At the end of that season, he was given the distinction of closing the venue as a reward.
The Swiss-Chilean extrovert can count classic sets at just about every club on Ibiza. Here is another which deserves to be considered one of his best.
Riva Starr, Kevin Yost and Pele & Shawnecy all feature in this typically rhythmic escapade.
Solomun | +Live | 2016
Towering Balkan Solomun might be best known for being the star attraction on Sundays at Pacha, but his appearances up the hill at Destino Five prove just as popular. In a mix-up to his weekly formula, he invited his favourite live acts to join him from 2015 to 2022.
After Rodriquez Jr. had laid the foundations in summer 2016, Solomun took to the stage for the closing set of one of his most memorable.
This excerpt includes music from Diynamic regular Rafael Cerato, Redshape and even a cameo from Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit.
Once you finish the first half above, you can watch part two here.
Fast-forward
Following its winter rebrand and spruce up, Destino Five opens with a Grand Opening Party on Thursday 19 June. Pacha icons Marco Carola and CAMELPHAT are the two headliners, with Da Vid confirmed as the support act.
Just like last year, Music On Daytime is allocated an initial nine dates between the opening and closing. As well as the host, these parties has invited names such as Loco Dice, Damian Lazarus, Black Coffee, BLOND:ISH and Ilario Alicante in years gone by. This year's line up TBA.
That just leave the Closing Party and one remaining date yet to be declared. All in good time...
Don't forget to check out this year's new drink packages, which you can upgrade to at check-out after adding tickets to your basket. These offer huge savings compared to buying drinks at bar prices on the day. Who says Ibiza has to be expensive?
