Hi, I’m Jordan.
I write this site myself — no editorial team, no SEO agency feeding me drafts, no AI inventing beach clubs that closed in 2019. One writer, a notebook, and a return flight to Ibiza I never used.
A scene from the field
It’s late May. I’m on a rented bike from La Savina, sand still on my legs from a swim at Migjorn, riding the south coast of Formentera back to the port for the 21:00 ferry to Ibiza Town.
Last night was Hï until four. Tonight is a fish dinner up in Sant Joan. Same week, both worlds — the “best of Ibiza” lists pretend you have to pick one. You don’t. That’s why this site exists: not as a brand, not as an editorial team, but as one writer with a notebook.
Why this exists
Every “best of Ibiza” list is wrong.
The same fifteen venues every year, the same SEO-optimised hotel restaurants, the same template recycled since 2019 — curated for someone who isn’t there, by writers who aren’t either.
I built this network because the people who actually go to these cities deserve a better default than the page Google ranks first: one link you can send a friend that’s opinionated, specific in euros and named venues, anti-tourist-trap, and anchored to this year. Some beach clubs everyone calls iconic are traps. Some small bars no list mentions are better. The job is to say which is which — specifically.
“Editorial isn’t for sale. A venue paying for placement does not get a guide written about it.”
How I pick what makes the list
Five rules. No exceptions.
In person where I can
Cities I've spent time in get first-person editorial. Cities I haven't get research-led editorial, flagged as such on every guide. No pretending.
Specific in euros and named venues
No 'a great spot in the old town'. The recommendation is the venue's name, the address, the price range. If I can't be specific, I don't recommend it.
Anti-tourist-trap on principle
If a venue's reputation rests entirely on a bus-tour pipeline, it doesn't make the list — regardless of what it pays.
Editorial separate from advertising
Listings can pay for labelled Featured / Promoted placement. The editorial guides are not for sale. Any commercial relationship is disclosed on the page.
Updated, not eternal
The 2026 site carries 2026 recommendations. When a place closes or changes, the site reflects it within days. Outdated guides get pulled.
The full money-and-disclosure detail lives on how this works.
Where I’ve actually been
Most travel sites pretend the writer has been everywhere. I won’t. The cities below are the ones I’ve been on the ground in this trip — everything else is research-led, flagged on every guide, and gets a first-person rewrite when I land.
- Ibiza· in person
- Formentera· in person
Research-led, city by city: Barcelona · Madrid · Greece · London · Leeds Uni Students · Lisbon · Dubai.

If everything above sounds like marketing, the answer is in the guides themselves.
