Tim Mason's insider's guide to Ibiza

What's one thing that any first time visitor to Ibiza should experience?
Go and watch the sunset at Cafe Mambo / Cafe del Mar for sure. There's something weird and electric about that! 

 
What is your...

...Favourite Ibiza restaurant
 I'm not sure on the exact name but there is a garden restaurant in Ibiza town I went to last year that was great - pretty sweet vibes there! 

 
...Best Ibiza memory
 Pfffffttt hahahaha errr, probably shouldn't say on here!
 
...Favourite place to escape the crowds
 Hacienda is pretty special for the chill out vibes.

...Favourite place for pre-club drinks
 Always the villa!
 
...Favourite beach
 I love hiring a 4x4 and driving around and finding a random quiet one, but Salinas is pretty cool if you want some interesting music and some nice cocktails.

...Favourite club to DJ at
I haven't DJed there yet! Last summer I was in Ibiza as a punter and the year before when I went I wrote The Moment so my career began there, but I'm yet to play! First time will be Cream at Amnesia August 2nd. I can't begin to tell you how hyped I am!
 
…All time favourite Ibiza anthem?
 Lucid 'I Can't Help Myself' - and that's why I remixed it! 

 
What's the...

...Best place to recover from a hangover
 Hacienda again!

...Best place to watch the sunset
 Definitely Cafe Mambo or Cafe Del Mar

...Best place for breakfast
Gatwick Airport.

...Best lunch spot
The Burgers in Kasbah, San Antonio. Got to be done!

Try to sum up what makes Ibiza so special in one sentence.
It's the only place like it in the world, and it's amazing that a place for everyone to come together and enjoy great times together exists at all. It's all about the people, the music lovers; we all make it special together.

Catch Tim at Cream Ibiza on August 3rd
