Nightlife will reportedly soon return to one of the world's top clubbing destinations, Ibiza.
According to a report by Diario de Ibiza, a number of nightlife and tourism officials have confirmed plans for the island's nightclubs to return in April 2022. The onset and impact of COVID-19 decimated Ibiza's nightlife sector, which hasn't been fully open since 2019.
"The idea is that the opening will be at the end of April, two weeks ahead of what is normally done," said José Luis Benítez, Manager of the Ibiza Leisure Association, per Diario. He added that the hope is to persist until November if "all goes well," which would signal the longest clubbing season in White Isle history.
