Ibiza has always had two sides—the bright sunsets and the after-midnight shadows. And few artists embody that duality better than Hardwell, who recently turned heads with an epic set at RESISTANCE Ibiza on August 20th at Amnesia. The Dutch icon has been blurring genre lines and rebuilding his legacy in the underground—this time under the immersive lights and seismic sounds of RESISTANCE, the globally respected house and techno arm of Ultra Music Festival.
This All Day, All Night edition is your backstage pass into Hardwell’s own Ibiza. From chilled health cafés and beachside seafood to bold art galleries and the production power of RESISTANCE in Amnesia. Expect his “if you know, you know” take on Ibiza’s landscape.
Ibiza Global Radio
One of my favourite radio stations and the heartbeat of the island’s sound. It’s constantly pushing forward-thinking electronic music, so it’s a great place to discover new artists and get inspired by the energy of what’s happening on the island.
📍 Carrer Lluís Tur i Palau, 19, 07800 Eivissa, Illes Balears
La Nave Salinas
This one is new for me as I only discovered it recently, but La Nave Salinas is one of those Ibiza hidden gems that are inspiring and aims to make contemporary art accessible to all. It’s a cool space as the venue is in a former salt warehouse in the salt pans of Ibiza. It’s very raw, bold, and full of creative expression.
📍 Carrer la Canal-2, 07818 Eivissa, Illes Balears
Passion Cafe
I’m big on clean eating, and Passion Café nails it with protein pancakes, fresh juices, and a relaxed vibe. After the madness of the night, it’s the ideal place to start your day in Ibiza.
📍 Edificio Bossamar, Ctra. de Platja d’en Bossa, s/n, 07800 Ibiza, Balearic Islands
Fish Shack
Tucked away by the sea, Fish Shack is another of those Ibiza hidden gems. The food’s simple but super fresh, with a fantastic view too!
📍 Punta dels Andreus sin número, 07819 Cap Martinet, Illes Balears
Casa Maca
For dinner, Casa Maca is a hard to beat choice! Great grilled seafood, relaxed atmosphere, and a stunning view of Dalt Vila. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down and enjoy the moment.
📍 Can Palau De Dalt, s/n, 07800 Ibiza, Balearic Islands
El Chiringuito Ibiza
Perfect for a chilled Beach restaurant. The menu’s excellent and so’s the sangria, and the beach never fail to deliver in only the way the White Isle knows best. It’s relaxed, stylish, and very Ibiza.
📍 Camí des Cavallet, 07818, Illes Balears
Ibiza Gran Hotel
Ibiza Gran Hotel is a stunning escape. It’s luxury with soul, panoramic views of the marina, incredible art throughout, and a calm energy that’s perfect for recharging. Whether it’s wellness, food, or finding creative inspiration, this place has everything dialled in.
📍Passeig Joan Carles I, 17, 07800 Eivissa, Illes Balears
*Bonus Track: Formentera
Besides all these Ibiza hidden gems, whenever I need to reset, I hop on a boat and head to Formentera. The peace, the clear waters, and that natural vibe, it’s pure magic. Ideal for recharging and getting inspired. A fantastic restaurant on Formentera is El Pirata, which has got a fantastic mix of food (red prawns) and views. It’s a solid lunch spot with the sea right in front of you.
📍 Camino de Ses Illetes, 128, 07871, Illes Balears
And the show must go on!
RESISTANCE Ibiza is still in full force—taking over Amnesia every Wednesday night until September 17th with global techno, immersive staging, and energy that refuses to fade with artists such as HI-LO, ARTBAT, Adam Beyer and many more!
