A platform called ‘Ibiza Underground Movement’, operating through private social media groups, is marketing massive parties for Brits in Ibiza mansions. Over the weekend, it held a rave at a holiday home in Sant Mateu, with a shuttle service and a line-up featuring DJs Jamie Roy, Ben Sterling, Skream and Hannah Wants, the latter two being quite famous in the UK.

The first weekend with a green light for British tourists to the Balearic Islands has been accompanied by at least five of these types of parties in the municipality of Sant Antoni. In addition to that of Sant Mateu, in the early hours of Saturday to Sunday there were other large gatherings in the vicinity of Camí des Tercet, between Sant Rafel and Santa Agnès, and Can Tomàs, the latter with some 300 people. Two others broke up following the arrival of police patrols.
The Guardia Civil confirmed yesterday morning to this newspaper that they accompanied the Local Sant Antoni Police to two of these parties, the local force being the security body responsible for recording these illegal parties. One of them was in Sant Mateu, in tourist accommodation, said the Guardia Civil’s spokesperson.
According to one of the partygoers, contacted by this newspaper, entry was booked in advance, at a price of 100 euros, via the private Instagram group ‘Ibiza Underground Movement’. This person, like other Brits arriving at the house, had to hand over their mobile phone before entering. However, others got in with their devices and recorded images of the DJ sessions, which yesterday morning were still visible on the personal stories of a dozen participants.
