2. Blue Marlin, Ibiza
Synonymous with Ibizan excess, there are few better places to see and be seen than the decadent Blue Marlin on Cala Jondal's shingle shores. An island institution, world-class DJ’s grace the decks throughout the summer, parties shuttle in from private yachts and as the party on the terrace and beach rages on. After dark, revellers move to the soundproofed mini-club where the party continues until dawn…
