Unlicensed Ibiza Villa Hosts Illicit Bash with 1,000 Revellers

Unlicensed Ibiza Villa Hosts Illicit Bash with 1,000 Revellers

In a crackdown on unauthorised partying, Ibiza's Sant Antoni police and the Guardia Civil broke up a massive gathering at a rustic villa, which had drawn around 1,000 partygoers. Originating at 7 PM on Tuesday evening, the event was an all-night affair with plans to last 22 hours. Promoted through exclusive invitations on social media, guests were instructed to park nearby and take black vans to the venue. The glitzy gathering featured top international DJs, sound systems, and catered food, with an estimated total cost nearing a million euros. Though not officially confirmed, it was reportedly organised by a concierge firm based on the island, which was mentioned frequently on attendees' social media posts. Footage shared online reveals intense laser shows, thematic areas, and video mapping, all within the luxurious villa known as Can del Mulo between Buscastell and Camí Vell de Sant Mateu. Despite its impressive setup with seven bedrooms and rooms for 14 guests, the 12-hectare estate is unregistered for tourist rentals, a fact confirmed by Ibiza’s local council.
