Residency Opening Parties
There’s nothing quite like the energy of an Ibiza opening party. The unbridled hedonism of the start of a new season is a memory that will stay with you forever. Throughout May you have the opportunity to experience four epic opening parties. From ANTS’ day-into-night extravaganza at Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza to Defected, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike presents Tomorrowland and Calvin Harris & MK. May is the month of openings and some of the best parties of the year.
Competitive Flight Prices
For those looking to keep travel costs to a minimum, May is the best time to visit the island. Many airlines offer discounted rates from most major European cities.
ANTS
Our infamous Saturday showcase of the most exciting underground talent and sounds returns for an extended season in 2024. Beginning on 4th May, you can hear the freshest new music from the likes of Adam Beyer, Cloonee, Franky Rizardo, John Summit, Paul Kalkbrenner, Salomé Le Chat, Sosa and Wade, plus returning ANTS favourites Andrea Oliva, Chelina Manuhutu and Nic Fanciulli.
Perfect Weather
Truly there’s never a bad time to visit the breathtaking island of Ibiza, but for those looking to get some early sunshine, May is an incredible choice. With an average high of 23 degrees throughout the month, sun-seekers will be in their element - and you’ll have a great tan for the rest of the summer.
Celebrate 25 Years Of Defected
One of the most influential labels on the planet, Defected will celebrate 25 years of the very best house music each Tuesday at Ushuaïa Ibiza from 7th May.
More Options for Accommodation
You’ll find a lot of hotels will offer more competitive pricing throughout May compared to peak season. Why not make the most of your savings and treat yourself to an upgraded room or suite?
Tomorrowland presents Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike
Tomorrowland Presents Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike starts the season a full month earlier this year, so you can enjoy the spectacular sights and sounds from 15th May. The superstar Belgian brothers will be joined by Lost Frequencies, Afrojack and many more throughout May.
May Bank Holidays
