Journeys Ibiza Luxury Edition 2026: Three Days of Connections, Experiences and Luxury Travel in Ibiza
From 22–25 September, Journeys Ibiza Luxury Edition returned to the White Isle, bringing together an international community of luxury travel buyers and suppliers for three days of business, discovery and genuine connection — the Journeys way.
For the second edition of Journeys Ibiza Luxury Edition, we wanted our guests to do more than simply meet in Ibiza. We wanted them to experience it.
Together with our Host Destination, Ibiza Luxury Destination, we created a three-day programme that took our community across the island, combining focused one-to-one business meetings with Ibiza’s hospitality, gastronomy, culture and unmistakable lifestyle.
The result was three days of new connections, shared experiences and conversations between some of the industry’s leading luxury travel professionals — with business taking place everywhere from a historic Ibiza theatre to restaurants, beach clubs and luxury hotels.
Welcome to Ibiza
The experience began as guests arrived from around the world and made their way to our Host Hotel, Cala San Miguel Ibiza Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton, which became home for the Journeys community throughout the event.
The opening evening brought buyers, suppliers and partners together for a welcome reception at the hotel’s Beach Club.
There were no meeting tables or appointment schedules yet. The first evening was an opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new ones and begin conversations in a relaxed setting overlooking the Mediterranean.
Because at Journeys, we believe the best business relationships rarely begin with a sales pitch.
They begin with a conversation.
From Teatro Pereyra to the streets of Ibiza Town
The following morning marked the beginning of the event’s Fam-Meet® programme.
After breakfast at Cala San Miguel, delegates travelled into Ibiza Town for the official opening at Teatro Pereyra, where the historic theatre provided the setting for the first one-to-one Fam-Meet® appointments.
Our approach to meetings is deliberately different from the traditional trade- show model.
Rather than spending days inside a conference hall, Fam-Meet® brings buyers and suppliers together in distinctive environments, integrating focused business conversations into a wider destination experience.
Following the morning session, delegates made their way through Ibiza Town to Sa Peixeteria, where lunch transitioned into the next round of meetings.
By the end of the afternoon, participants had completed 15 curated one-to-one appointments, but the conversations continued beyond the formal meeting schedule.
Delegates then headed out on a cultural tour of Ibiza Town, discovering another side of the destination together before travelling to Ocean Drive Talamanca for dinner.
It was exactly the type of day Fam-Meet® was designed to create: structured business conversations interspersed with shared experiences and informal opportunities to continue building relationships long after an appointment has finished.
Business meets the Ibiza lifestyle
The final full day took Journeys to another part of the island, beginning at BLESS Ibiza The Site.
Following the opening remarks, buyers and suppliers moved into the next series of one-to-one Fam-Meet® appointments. The morning also featured a dedicated session from Airline Partner Iberia, before the final meetings of the programme.
By lunchtime, every participant had had the opportunity to complete 25 curated one-to-one Fam-Meet® appointments across the event.
The focus then shifted from meetings to experiencing more of the destination.
Delegates enjoyed lunch and site visits at BLESS Ibiza The Site and The Beach by Ushuaïa, part of Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel, giving international buyers another first-hand perspective on Ibiza’s luxury hospitality and lifestyle offering.
After some time back at Cala San Miguel, the Journeys community came together once more for the finale.
One last night together at Destino Five Ibiza
The closing evening took delegates to Destino Five Ibiza for dinner, bringing buyers, suppliers, partners and the Journeys team together to celebrate the relationships formed during their time on the island.
And because this was Ibiza, dinner wasn’t quite the end.
The celebrations continued with an after-party at TOX Club, giving the community one final opportunity to enjoy the island together.
Over three days, our delegates hadn’t simply exchanged business cards or sat through appointments.
They had eaten together, travelled together, explored Ibiza Town together, discovered hotels and venues together and celebrated together.
Those shared moments are an essential part of the Journeys philosophy.
Memories build trust, and trust leads to long-lasting business
relationships.
An island-wide collaboration
Journeys Ibiza Luxury Edition would not have been possible without the support of the partners and businesses that helped us bring the programme to life.
Our thanks go to Ibiza Luxury Destination, our Host Destination; Cala San
Miguel Ibiza Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton, our Host Hotel; Iberia, our

We would also like to thank every participating buyer, supplier and local partner who contributed to the spirit of the event.
Together, they allowed our international guests to see that luxury in Ibiza goes far beyond any single hotel, restaurant or experience. It lies in the diversity of the island, the creativity of its businesses and the people behind them.
Journeys Ibiza Luxury Edition 2026 in numbers
Behind the experiences and relationships was an international community with significant commercial influence.
The 2026 edition welcomed 37 carefully selected luxury travel buyers representing 10 international markets.
The United States accounted for 38% of the buyer delegation, while the United Kingdom represented 27%. Together, these two key luxury travel markets made up almost 65% of attending buyers, alongside professionals from Belgium, Canada, Australia, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany and India.
The commercial reach of the delegation was equally significant. Collectively,
attending buyers represented companies with at least $327 million in combined annual turnover, with almost 30% representing businesses generating more than $25 million annually.
Their clients also reflected the high-end nature of the event. 65% of buyers work with clients spending an average of $1,000 or more per night, while 27% work with clients spending an average of $1,500 or more per night.
The delegation included professionals experienced in arranging high-value tailor-made journeys, private property buyouts, milestone celebrations, honeymoons and complex multi-generational travel. Reported individual bookings extended into the millions of dollars, with the largest reported booking reaching $15 million.
And across the programme, participants had the opportunity to complete 25 curated one-to-one Fam-Meet® appointments, ensuring that the experience of Ibiza was matched by focused opportunities to generate meaningful new business.
See you in Ibiza in 2027
Following the success of this year’s edition, Journeys Ibiza Luxury Edition will return from 9–12 May 2027.
For our third edition, we will have a new home on the island, with Hotel Mongibello Ibiza as our Host Hotel.
Once again, we will bring together a carefully selected international community of luxury travel buyers and suppliers for the Fam-Meet® way of doing business — combining valuable one-to-one meetings with memorable experiences designed to turn introductions into genuine relationships.
More details about the 2027 programme, partners and experiences will be announced soon.
For now, to every buyer, supplier, partner and friend who joined us in Ibiza in 2026: thank you for being part of the journey.
We look forward to seeing you back on the island from 9–12 May 2027.
