Ibiza Bids Farewell to Celebrated Chef Marco Dipatrizi

His move to Ibiza in 2010 marked a transformative chapter, blooming into a role at The Boat House in 2017. Fondly remembered for his warmth and creativity, Dipatrizi's legacy endures in the eclectic and beloved menu he crafted.

Protecting Ibiza's Beaches: Natural Defences Restored for 2026

Sant Antoni's local council has kick-started the return of oceanic posidonia to Caló des Moro beach, a crucial move happening after the summer tourist season comes to a close. This sustainable effort, also targeting Es Pouet beach, aims to restore natural coastal protection. Posidonia, a key marine plant, forms natural barriers that prevent erosion and coastline retreat by holding sediments in place. The initiative follows strict municipal protocols, ensuring beach maintenance aligns with ecosystem conservation. Removed in May before peak tourist influx, posidonia is stored at Can Coix before its autumn return. In 2025, 72 cubic metres were cleared. Forecasts for 2026 estimate 9.5 tonnes will be managed, with approximately 4.5 tonnes already restored to the beaches. These beaches were specifically chosen due to their vulnerability to erosion and recent seasonal storms. The project is part of ongoing commitments to sustainable coastal management, aligning with environmental certifications ISO 14001 and EMAS, bolstering the protection of Ibiza's treasured beaches against natural forces."}

Ibiza to Enforce New Light Pollution Regulations with Fines Up to €86,000

Ibiza's local government has approved new regulations to combat light pollution, a move that will affect both public and private outdoor lighting across the island. The aim is to enhance energy efficiency, protect biodiversity, and preserve the night sky for stargazing. The island is divided into four zones, from natural reserves requiring maximum protection to urban areas with less stringent controls. Tourists might notice dimmer lighting in bustling areas like Platja d’en Bossa and Sant Antoni, especially during winter months when lighting will be restricted from 10 PM. These changes could impact nighttime festivals and events, though local councils can make exceptions for special occasions. The regulations will be implemented over the next few years, with hefty fines for non-compliance, ensuring Ibiza remains a top destination for environmentally-conscious travellers.
