Cala Escondida Makes a Splash at Platja d’en Bossa

UK tourists heading to Ibiza have something new to look forward to on the vibrant shores of Platja d’en Bossa. Chiringuito Cala Escondida is setting up shop in this bustling part of the island after being unable to renew its previous spot at es Racó d’en Xic in Platges de Comte. The move comes as the Sant Josep council awarded the kiosk space to Cala Escondida after previous bidding rounds found no takers. This development is sure to be popular among sun-seekers frequenting the end of Platja d’en Bossa near the historic tower des Carregador de Sal. The concession comes at an annual cost of €38,750, a key investment in maintaining the seaside charm that Ibiza's visitors come back for year after year. As anticipation builds, Cala Escondida has been sharing updates on social media, preparing for its much-anticipated reopening later this week.

Torrential Rainfall Causes Chaos at Ibiza Airport with Flights Halted and Tourists Stranded

Ibiza Airport faced disruption this Sunday due to torrential rain from storm Dana Adam. Drastic flooding rendered the runway unusable for hours and water infiltrated the terminal, affecting key areas. Check-in counters were shut as they became inundated, pushing many passengers to head straight to security. However, the situation worsened when leaks reached the security area, forcing more closures. Various parts of the terminal were cordoned off and shops such as Duty Free shut due to indoor flooding. The ramp area, where ground staff handle aircraft, faced severe deluge with videos showing torrents in the baggage section. Outside, access to parking areas was blocked by fallen structures and heavy water accumulation, leading to a road closure near Platja d'en Bossa. The chaos led to two safety closures of airport operations by Aena, with activities halted twice due to intense water clearing efforts. Official reports confirm five flight cancellations and 16 diversions from the island, including UK-based flights from Manchester and London-Stansted, as delays reached an average of 84 minutes. The storm recorded a dramatic 101.9 litres of rain per square metre at the airport, prompting a red alert across Ibiza and Formentera. The aftermath of this weather chaos continued throughout the day, impacting hundreds of planned flights.
