The River Island Man Guide To Surviving Ibiza | by MAKJ

He’s been there and done that, so who better than DJ MAKJ himself to pull together our River Island Man x Ibiza survival guide? Whether you’re losing your Ibiza v-plates or a regular island-goer, he gives us his ultimate tips for making your trip the best one yet…

MAKJ says:

Let’s not kid ourselves, Ibiza is beautiful but you’re not there for the scenery. You and the boys have come to let loose, so let’s start off with the all- important task of partying hard.

1)    Pre-drinking comes with its own dangers. Don't be that guy who drinks 8 hours before the party and never makes it out. Throughout the day swap every other drink for water.

2)    Some tips don’t need any explanation at all. Shower and always be armed with deodorant. It's hot, it’s sweaty; need I say more?

3) Minty freshness is always a must. Always carry gum or mints - they come in handy for making friends fast by sharing, and extra handy if you end up catching someone’s eye.

4) If you’re not feeling it, don’t force it. Slip away quietly back to the hotel or have a night off (nobody will judge). You don’t want your mood to bring down the rest of the gang. Rest up ready for the next night!

Suitcase Essentials

Don’t fall victim to packing dilemmas. Keep your ‘beefa style simple and let your shirt do the talking. Shorts, open shirts and sunglasses are all you need for your time on the island.
