As the 2026 season approaches, Ibiza is preparing for what appears to be its most comprehensive summer programme to date. For our clients and partners, staying ahead of the island’s shifting residency landscape is essential for planning a seamless Mediterranean retreat.
At Privadia, we leverage our decade of local expertise and close ties with property owners to ensure our guests enjoy the best of the Balearics. This year, the headlines are dominated by UNVRS, the island’s newest major venue, alongside significant movements for established brands like Glitterbox and Defected.
Here is an essential briefing on the confirmed residencies for the upcoming summer:
