Location
The Hotel is within centre of Sant Antoni de Portmany. It is 10.8 miles (17.4 km) north west of Ibiza Town.[1]
History
Club Paraiso Mediterraneo was first opened in 1998[2][unreliable source?] as an apartment hotel with 368 units and had a Spanish 3 star rating. In 2008 the Hotel was bought by the Ibiza Rocks organization (led by British couple Andy McKay and Dawn Hindle of Manumission fame)[3] with a different ethos to the original apartment hotel complex. Renamed the Ibiza Rocks Hotel, the hotel began hosting live music events with bands and DJs on its poolside main stage.[4][5]
The hotel has hosted many big name performers including David Guetta, Swedish House Mafia, Ed Sheeran,[3] Craig David, Joel Corry, Rudimental, Jax Jones, Anne-Marie, MK, James Arthur, John Newman, Becky Hill, Beady Eye,[6] Ella Henderson, Bastille, Example, Sigma, Pete Tong, Fatboy Slim, Idris Elba, Danny Howard, Nathan Dawe and Gok Wan. Some of them, such as Dua Lipa, were hired before widespread success.[3]
Concept
The hotel hosts regular events in a central courtyard. The hotel room rate includes entrance to the event. Guests are young people mainly from the United Kingdom and Ireland.[3] The Ibiza Rocks organization has extended the concept of hotel + daytime party to the Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel and Mallorca Rocks with the help of the Balearic family Matutes.[3]
Criticism
Sant Antoni neighbors residing near the hotel have complained about the noise from the parties and the drunk and vomiting guests. In 2022 , a guest suffered chemical submission and sexual abuse in one of the hotel rooms. In April 2025, a 19-year-old tourist fell from a balcony while partying (locally known as balconing). It was the first balconing death in the Balearic islands that year.[3] Following this, two British men, a 26-year old and another 19-year-old fell from their balconies at the hotel, both within two weeks of each other in July 2025, which resulted in the hotel suspending their events programme.[7][8]
