Cala Llonga's Iconic Flipper's: A British Favourite in Ibiza

Cala Llonga's Iconic Flipper's: A British Favourite in Ibiza

Since opening its doors in 2003, Flipper's Bar in Cala Llonga has become a cherished spot for both locals and tourists on the island of Ibiza. Founded by José Ortiz, a man whose journey on the island began in a tent at just 15, Flipper's initially gained popularity as a ‘typical Brit hangout’. During the pandemic, a surge in popularity among locals for their roast beef offering helped Flipper's thrive despite challenging times. The restaurant also maintains a beloved tex-mex menu, with tacos being a particular favourite. Through the years, Ortiz has witnessed the shift from family tourism to shorter party-focused stays, though long-standing bonds have been forged with returning British families who span generations. The bar continues to uphold its family-friendly charm, complete with a humorous sign cautioning parents about unruly children. Now, under the guidance of José’s son Samuel, Flipper's is poised to continue its legacy as a beloved fixture in the evolving landscape of Ibiza's tourism scene.

Ibiza Joins the Race for Ecological Recognition This Summer

Ibiza Joins the Race for Ecological Recognition This Summer

Ibiza's vibrant nightlife scene is taking an eco-friendly turn as the island teams up with over 846 local hospitality venues to compete in Ecovidrio's Green Flag Movement. This initiative celebrates the commitment to glass recycling and circular economy practices specifically in bustling coastal destinations. Ibiza will go head-to-head with 20 other municipalities in the Balearic Islands for one of the two coveted Green Flags. Last year, the accolades went to Mallorca’s Capdepera and Formentera, but this summer brings fresh competition and the possibility for new champions to emerge. During the summer months, a significant volume of single-use glass containers circulates through the hospitality sector, which accounts for almost half of the generated waste. To address this, Ecovidrio is deploying 200 new containers and providing 1,300 rolling bins to participating venues across the island. Additionally, environmental education sessions will be delivered to bar and restaurant staff to promote sustainable management practices. To secure a Green Flag, regions must boost their glass collection compared to previous years and ensure participation from at least half the local hospitality businesses. The programme also aims to reward nine exceptional venues for their sustainable practices, with last year's local winner being Ca Mimosa in Ibiza. The chosen venues will be treated to a gourmet dining experience and a masterclass by Michelin-starred chef Andrés Torres. Highlighting the success from last year, over 15,800 tonnes of glass were recycled in the Balearics, reducing CO₂ emissions equivalent to removing over 4,200 cars from roads for a year. This initiative embodies the island’s ongoing effort to tackle the surge of waste seen during the high-traffic summer months, ensuring the paradisiacal shores of Ibiza stay pristine and inviting for years to come.

Heated Debate Over Exclusive Ibiza Bash Transforms into Generous Charity Donation

Heated Debate Over Exclusive Ibiza Bash Transforms into Generous Charity Donation

In the heart of Ibiza's famous Sant Antoni, the afterglow of a lavish celebration at Sa Pedrera has sparked intense local conversation. The extravagant event, hosted by Van Wyck & Van Wyck on August 13th, has been both criticized and praised after a substantial 40,000-euro donation was made to Cáritas Diocesana de Ibiza. Despite the contentious nature of a private party being held in a public space, the donation aims to bolster support for vulnerable communities in the region. While some locals and the PSOE of Sant Antoni have voiced their disapproval at the event's official sanctioning, others, like the local Partido Popular, highlight the party’s charitable outcome. A total of 50,000 euros was pledged, with 10,000 euros also promised to the Motoclub of Formentera and Ibiza. This charitable effort aligns with Cáritas's mission to combat poverty amid the island’s glamorous façade. Cáritas has called upon the island's thriving leisure businesses to redirect part of their profits toward addressing social inequities. While some organizations have already rallied to this cause, the charity urges more to join. Their appeal casts light on Ibiza’s hidden social challenges, emphasizing that prosperity should extend to those living in precarious conditions despite being part of the workforce.
