Our tale starts in a land far far away (to be honest it’s not actually that far but the taxi there is a f*ing nuisance). A land known as Blue Marlin Ibiza. Blue Marlin is one of those places that everyone has heard about it but not everyone has been to (or at least on the Sunday). It’s unique. There are no 7am ravers and no excessive bass being dropped while 3000 people invade your personal space.
The reasons people go are simple: the people are beautiful and the atmosphere is Balearic right down to the sunset over its famous sea view. It’s the place to be seen but don’t just take our word for it. Get yourself down to the Blue Marlin ASAP and experience what all the hype is about for yourself. Be warned that you’ll burn 🔥 through everything you have in your wallet and more but my god is it worth it.
The Blue Marlin Experience
1–2pm: The day starts by chilling out on the deck chairs (or the sun beds if you’re balling out), listening to chilled house music, watching the beautiful people walk by whilst you get over your Elrow induced hangover. It’s surprisingly easier to get over your hangover while lying on a deck chair in the sun than in your hotel/villa. Plus, you can sleep there and not feel like a vampire 👹 Least that’s how I feel from my ventures over there.
3–4pm: as the day goes on the beat starts to pick up and the place starts to fill uppp. By busy I mean rammed like shit within an hour or so. By this time you’ll have rested and sobered up (unless you got in at lunch) ready for what the rest of the night holds…
Now this is when the real party starts to kick off. You’ll see ballers, party-animals, euro-trash, models, players, promoters, yep pretty much every type of person Ibiza has to offer roll in. It’s a relatively small venue but Blue Marlin has become a hotspot and arguably one of the best day parties on the island.
5–6pm: The DJ drops the beat and the party starts. The sun’s still up, it’s getting cooler and the atmosphere continues to build. Everyone from the beach joins into the mix as the sun slowly begins to set and you can begin to feel the energy of the crowd.
7–10pm: is what I like to call epiphany time. You’re tipsy but not too drunk. Everyone around you has a drink in hand and is gazing eerily into the abyss. This is the sort of time you have an epiphany. You can really feel that there is a God and experience him through the beauty of house music. Blue Marlin has a way of throwing you into the deep end and putting life into perspective 🙌
This is when you start Waffling at Blue Marlin to share your experiences with the people there!
10pm–12am: is the tailing out time. By tailing out I mean if you don’t leave 30mins before the main party closes you have 0 chance of getting any form of transport for at least an hour (unless you’ve bagged yourself a private driver).
Blue Marlin in simple words is in bumble fuck. It’s 20mins drive from anything and therefore taxis are normally required. Most of you know how hard it is getting a taxi from Space, a club right in the centre of town, so imagine getting one far from civilisation.
The beats are really popping but the smarter individual, unlike myself, will know when to leave and get in a taxi before the rest of the crowd joins 30mins later 🏃
12am — 3am: afterparty time. Blue Marlin’s day party officially ends at midnight but they also have an afterparty area inside which is specifically for those of you who don’t want to get some food before heading to Pacha. There are also usually some villa parties nearby if you’re lucky enough to get an invite so ask around 🎟
After this you have to get in a taxi to the infamous Solomun +1 party at Pacha. By the time Blue Marlin finishes at 3am, Solomun will be on the decks so hurry your ass up before you do smart thing and decide to head home. PS. Don’t go home! Solomun Sundays are our team’s favourite night so get in that taxi, head to Pacha 🍒 and finish your night with a bang! There are some more details in this post about that.
If you have genuinely experienced a better Sunday than Blue Marlin (other than Rumors at Destino on the odd occasion) then shoot me an email on: sharan@waffleapp.co, I’m always looking for new experiences ;)
