You want parties? We got parties.

Carl Cox confirms return to Ibiza for 2017

Many were left wondering at the end of summer 2016 about what the island would be like after Carl Cox let go of his 15-year reign at Space with his Music is Revolution parties. Could this really be the last we see of arguably the most iconic DJ on the island? What even is Ibiza without Carl Cox?

Carl and his team gave fans a pretty strong indication that he had something brewing on New Year’s Day in London, when he wore a t-shirt throughout his set suggesting as much. But the questions remained: would Carl be returning for a weekly residency? And where? His beloved Space had closed its doors for good, where could he have possibly chosen to continue his legacy?

Fret no more good friends because the answers to those questions are now at hand. Carl Cox has announced two parties to take place at nightclub Privilege on July 11 and July 18. Entitled Pure Carl Cox he has enlisted the likes of Eats Everything, Joseph Capriati, Darren Emerson, The Martinez Brothers, Cassy, Nicole Moudaber, Kerry Chandler, Eric Powell and many more to bring the spirit of rave back to the white isle.

Tickets are available now via Pure Carl Cox Ibiza. And of course to really capitalise on your time in Ibiza when you’re not listening to Coxy smash it out, book your stay now at our Ibiza Beach Camp to enjoy free morning yoga, breakfast and lunch, open bar and great daily activities like cliff jumping, snorkeling, hikes, hippie markets and beach days with a bunch of your new best friends.

See you there!

Disclosure announce debut Ibiza residency

UK brotherly DJ/producer dance duo Disclosure have announced plans for a four-week residency at everyone’s favourite airport-side superclub DC-10.

The siblings will bring their Wild Life party to the island for four consecutive Fridays from July 21st to August 11th. This could be your best chance to see the duo after they previously announced they will be scaling back their touring for 2017.

This is a surprise move from both Disclosure, being their first ever Ibiza residency, and from DC-10 whom are normally renowned for their underground parties — more likely to feature the sounds of Seth Troxler and Jamie Jones rather than deep house hits like Latch and You & Me.

No details have been announced as to who will be joining them at their soirees, but if their Wild Life Festival 2017 lineup in Brighton, UK is anything to go by, these will be very hot tickets.

Book tickets now via the Wild Life Ibiza website and reserve your place at our Ibiza Beach Camp for everything else you need to make it your best Ibiza experience ever. It includes great meals, open bar, free yoga every day, amazing Stokie hosts and more sunshine and beaches you can shake a sunscreen stick at.

David Guetta goes BIG and Hï Ibiza sees the light with In The Dark

Just in case you were worried about getting enough of everyone’s favourite/least favourite Frenchman at his F*** Me I’m Famous parties at Pacha, David Guetta has confirmed he will be returning to Ushuaia with his BIG parties every Monday. And in case you were in any doubt as to how these parties go down, you can rest assured that the all-caps used for the title are completely justified. Not only does the showman get the opportunity to live out his dreams of being a rockstar every Monday, partiers are treated to a smorgasbord of glowsticks, light-up batons, lasers, pyrotechnics and a whole range of BIG merchandise to really get you in the mood.

The opening party will happen on June 12 and will go on every week until the end of the world or August 28, whichever comes first. No word yet on which of David’s mates will be joining him, but we can all safely assume they won’t be small.

The walls, floors and doors formerly known as Space, but now housing Hï Ibiza, have unveiled details for their Thursday night house and techno party called In The Dark. In what is great news for fans of the genre and those that didn’t want the venue turned into an EDM echo chamber, the night will be headed up by certified masters of the scene Joris Voorn, Kölsch, Luciano, Nic Fanciulli and Steve Lawler.

The opening party will take place on June 8 and will run every Thursday until September 28 with guests still to be announced.

Live it up with David and your new best Stokie friends at our Ibiza Beach Camp which promises 100% good times but sadly no fireworks (just yoga, great food and fun times).

It’s our favourite place, where Stoke Travel began (with surf tours up and down the French and Spanish Basque Country, over a decade ago!), a part of the world that combines European modernity with an ancient culture, perfect waves with cities that rage all night long. The Basque Country has it all, and that’s why we continue to return after all these years — to take advantage of the surf and the food and the beautiful, green hills that spill down from the foothills of the Pyrenees.

Gosh we like it.

Like all special places the Basque Country has unique peculiarities that can confuse the first time traveller.

It’s not Spain, it’s not France

Geographically, yes the Basque Country does straddle the Atlantic Coast of south France and north Spain, and politically, sure the Basques do officially reside in France and/or Spain, but… Historically the Basques have been a separate nation and culturally they still are in many regards. You run the risk of offending some good people if you don’t acknowledge that the Basque Country is a different and unique place within the sovereign states of France and Spain, heck they’ve even got their own language, and it sure is a doozy.

Nobody else speaks their language, nothing even like it

Most languages in the world are descended from, or related to, other languages. Just to focus on Western Europe, there are the germanic tongues — English, Dutch, German, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, etc — and the latin languages — Italian, Portuguese, Catalan, French and Spanish — with the latter group being the result of Roman occupation in this part of the world. Now you’d assume that the Basques, nestled there in between France and Spain, would have a similar tongue to their neighbours, but that would be a big mistake. Let’s have a little look. In French, the beach is la plage. In Spanish it’s la playa. In Portuguese, a praia, and in Italian la spiaggia. They are all similar, and that’s because they are all related to each other and born from the same linguistic parent. But the beach in Basque? Hondartza. Hon-fucking-dartza. The Basques have their own language, and they love it! You’ll see Basque emblazoned on menus and street signs, spoken on the tv and radio, spray painted on walls. Scholars don’t really know where the language came from, but they’re pretty sure that it’s the last remaining pre-Roman language, like a spoken prehistoric artifact that’s our last lived example of what people on the continent sounded like before the conquering started. Anyway, this is all a bit academic. All you need to know is that you don’t say hola, you say kaixo, and goodbye isn’t au revoir, it’s agur.

The greatest food

The Basque Country is a gastronomic dream, especially on the Spanish side where, for a while, San Sebastian boasted more Michelin star (read: fancy) restaurants than anywhere else in the world, bar Paris! And while they no longer can claim that statistic, there are still more world-class fine-dining restaurants than we’ll ever be able to afford to visit, as well as every second storefront being a pintxos (Basque tapas) bar. The Basque Country is famous for its meat and cider, its lightly sparkling txakoli  wine, its seafood (cod!) and so much more. You might not dine in any of the fancy restaurants, but you can still reward and challenge your tastebuds in just about every bar. There’s too much to recommend anything in particular, just choose something weird looking (the food is often pre-prepared and presented on the bar top) and dive in. Should only cost you a couple of bucks for a world-class culinary experience.

And there’s so much more! But you’ll have to come and experience it for yourself. The Stoke Travel San Sebastian Surf Camp is open all summer, from June until September, nestled in the beautiful green hills behind the surf beach, and the crew are just dying to show you around their favourite place on earth.

Otro año más vuelve el evento de ObsessionA2, un evento que rinde homenaje a todos los deportes de deslizamiento: Skate, Surf, y snowboard. La particularidad de este evento es que tiene lugar en un solo destino y un fin de semana.

Pocas regiones en el mundo tienen la oportunidad de disfrutar de esos tres deportes en un mismo fin de semana,  la región elegida para este evento tan especial es, como todos los años, Cantabria, una de las mejores regiones para surfear en nuestro país. 

Este paraíso del surf se convierte en un fin de semana en el destino soñado por todos los amantes de los deportes de tabla, que saltarán de las calles a las montañas y de ahí al agua, casi sin parar.

Es el quinto año que se celebra esta competición y en esta ocasión se batirá records de participantes, habiendo hasta 150 inscritos entre las diferentes disciplinas.

Eventos y horarios del OA2

Este evento comienza el viernes 24 de marzo con la modalidad de skate. En esta jornada se celebrará un torneo donde los jueces tendrán que puntuar a los patinadores más hábiles mientras deleitan a todos los espectadores con sus ollies y sus maniobras.

Seguimos con el evento el sábado 25 de marzo en las montañas de Alto Campoo en las pistas de esquí donde los snowboarders darán todo de sí en un circuito preparado especialmente para esta competición.

Para terminar tendrá lugar la prueba de surf el domingo 26 comenzará a las 10 de la mañana en la playa del Sardinero en Santander entrenar nombre de los participantes se encuentran grandes surfistas como Mirka Solar, Vicente Romero o Marcos Heinrich entre otros.

Ante todo disfrute y buen rollo

El objetivo de este evento por encima de todo es disfrutar de todos estos deportes sin ningún tipo de presión. Aunque el formato sea competición, los propios surfistas y competidores están dispuestos a disfrutar de este fin de semana único y a pasárselo bien tanto dentro como fuera del agua.

De manera paralela habrá otro tipo de eventos para toda la familia y todos los espectadores que se acerquen al lugar para poder disfrutar todos de esta jornada. Ya que el AO2 Fussion pretende ser una fiesta de los deportes de deslizamientos donde todos están invitados.

Stoke Travel is returning to Ibiza for the opening parties in 2017. It’s the world’s original, and best, party island and only a short ferry, or even shorter plane ride from our offices in Barcelona, and most cities in Spain and Europe. Are you going to join us this year? You definitely should.

What’s On In Ibiza June 2017

• Marco Carola‘s “Music On“ party returns to Fridays at Amnesia with the opening party on 2nd June. Expect a well dressed bald Italian man, flanked by impossibly beautiful hangers-on, all the while pumping out impeccable house and techno. Most likely followed up by an after party at Cova Santa.
• Barcelona’s craziest, most extravagant party Elrow has moved homes this year from Space and will now go down on Saturdays at Amnesia. Opening part on June 3rd. Expect the Elrow residents and special guests creating the most OTT party atmosphere with inflatable animals and confetti galore.
• Hï Ibiza’s (formerly Space) first announcement was South African house master Black Coffee’s residency at the club on Saturdays. This is a bold move for the club as many expected the new owners to go down a more commercial route (which they still have, if you read on). Back Coffee’s opening party is on 3rd June.
• Possibly the most divisive Frenchman in electronic music – David Guetta – will host the opening party for his almighty F*** Me I’m Famous party at Pacha on the 1st of June. Expect very excited people, songs you’ve heard a lot on the radio and some genuinely confusing microphone banter every Friday.
• Ushuaïa have announced the opening party date for the actually quite great underground party ANTS which will take place every Saturday at the open air, pool-side venue from 3rd June. No lineup news yet but expect regular ANTS DJs like Andrea Oliva, Joris Voorn, Maya Jane Coles and Groove Armada.
• Together returns to Amnesia each and every Tuesday with the opening on June 6. Together draws in DJs from right across the spectrum and the opening party reflects that programming with Chase & Status, Andy C, Pendulum, Claptone, Hanna Wants and Gorgon City all confirmed.
• Clubbing brand Cream has called in the big guns this year booking residencies from legends Fatboy Slim and Paul Van Dyk. Both DJs will feature at their opening party on 8th of June at Amnesia as well as a DJ set from rave kings Faithless. Get creamy every Thursday at Amnesia.
• Some of the biggest news to come out of Ibiza this year is the first time Ibiza residency for Eric Prydz. One of a handful of DJs and producers who has successfully been able to walk the line between the underground and mainstream scenes, he will be taking over Hï Ibiza on Tuesdays from June 20th. He will have big shoes to fill, taking over the space that Carl Cox ruled for the last 15 years is no mean feat. Let’s hope this avid aviophobe is up to the task.
• Another big booking for Hï Ibiza will be the return to Ibiza for the world’s favourite trance-commercial cross-over king Armin Van Buuren. His night, U R, will take on selected Wednesdays from 21st of June.

And that’s literally just the beginning. All summer long there’ll be more parties than you can poke a disco biscuit at, and we’ll be there, passing the days swimming and sunning at our beautiful beachside camp, and our nights on whatever dancefloor deserves our attention at the time. Stays are all-inclusive and only cost €60 a night, which leaves you plenty more cash for the important business of partying.

We also have some spots left for our Spring Break trips, which are going to be undeniably off the chain. Got some spare time in April? Come with us!
