This Thursday sees the start of the Deadmau5 mini residency at Cream, Amnesia. I know a lot of people are excited about this one and with good reason, Deadmau5 has been one of the bigest succes stories of the last few years and these nights at Cream are sure to go off with a bang.

If you still haven’t booked your summer holiday yet its not too late to snap up a bargain late deal and get out for a week of fun in August or September. Right now you can get 1 week package deals during August from about £300 and in September from £200 which should leave you plenty of spending money left over for hitting the clubs!

If you’re looking for late deals, here are some tips to help you find the best Ibiza holidays at the best prices.

Summer has arrived and if you are considering an Ibiza break this year it’s worth getting familiarised with some of the top money saving options that are now available – you could shave pounds off your next trip!

Package and last minute deals are all well and good, but for those of us who find it hard to make travel plans in January or have commitments that don’t allow you to drop everything for a last minute bargain, these offers can work out a little bit impractical.

Getting a good deal and even a discount is essentially easier these days, you just need to know when and where to look. Gone are the days of shuffling into your local travel agent to ask uncomfortably for a ‘mangers special’, a package put together from everything they had left over. Today travel discounts are smarter, easier to find and better value.

Although it seems strange talking about 'surviving' a holiday, anyone who's done a week or more's clubbing in Ibiza can probably relate. Far from returning feeling refreshed an relaxed most people will return and feel like they need to curl up in bed for a week to recover! In this post I'm going to share some tips I've picked up from Ibiza clubbers on both getting the most from your time in Ibiza as well as getting through the week in one piece and coming out feeling good at the end. If you've got your own tips please share, in the comments.

I've been a bit late posting this, been away for a bit. The Ibiza BBC Radio 1 weekend 2010 is going to be on the weekend of the 6th-8th August. This is a week later than we were predicting based on the dates from the last few years.

For anyone who doesn't know radio 1 weekend in Ibiza is the busiest few days of the season with a number of special parties put on by the BBC which are broadcast live on the radio back home. Without further adue here's our run-down of the 2010 Radio 1 weekend in Ibiza...

Increasingly long weekends, or short holidays during the week seem to be becoming popular with the Ibiza crowd.  Just like cricket went from 5 days to 1 to 20 overs, Ibiza holidays which used to mean a week (or even 2) away, for many are now crammed into a couple of days.

It's easy to see the appeal. Short breaks are cheaper, perhaps meaning you can fit a couple of little holidays into a summer rather than 1 big one. For returning visitors who aren't ready to give up their Ibiza days but perhaps can't commit to a whole week of partying anymore a long weekend is perfect. Maybe there's a particular party you want to catch- no point going all the way to Ibiza for 1 night, may as well make it a mini holiday!

 

So how do you get the most out a shorter holiday in Ibiza?

Pick your dates carefully - don't you hate it when you book a 7 night holiday and you only end up getting 5 days because of how the flights work out? Well that's even worse if your holidays only 3 nights! Look for holiday deals which fly out early on your day of departure and return late on the day you leave. If you're taking time off work you might want to try and organise your break around a bank holiday (the august one is on 30th August this year) that way you can spend another day without booking it off work. Alternatively book over the radio 1 weekend (weekend of 6th august this year) which is the busiest weekend of the season in Ibiza.

Plan ahead - book everything in advance. Flights and hotel but also airport parking and transfers. Don't forget to pick up some euros before you leave. A short holiday is all about maximising your free time so a minute spent at a cash machine is a minute of holiday wasted!

Travel light - if your Ibiza holidays only a few days do you really need that big suitcase with the wheels? Travel with hand luggage only and zip through baggage reclaim. Remember the rules on liquids at the airport and only pack the little travel size bottles of mouthwash, toothpaste etc.

Club nights - research these before you go and have a plan of what nights you're going to do. We've given some possible itineraries below. You might want to book your club tickets before you leave to save a bit of time and avoid any disappointments with parties you want to hit being sold out.

Day trips - if you're only in Ibiza for a few days you should really resist the temptation to turn nocturnal for the weekend and spend the days in your hotel. Plan a few days out, get to some beaches, do a boat trip or treat yourself to a spa session.

Had a few questions this week about the ibiza club tickets for sale on the Ibiza club calendar so thought it was a good time to clarify our relationships and recommendations for Ibiza club ticket sales, where, when and how to buy em.

In previous years, by and large, we've only listed club tickets from advertisers who we earn commission off. This year on the Ibiza party calendar you'll see we're listing ticket details from lots more places including, where available the official club websites. There's a few reasons for this, most importantly:

Ibiza Rocks have just added Ian Brown to their summer lineup which is looking pretty decent this year. I've seen Ian Brown a few times live over the years, usually he's excellent, occassionally terrible like at hiFi festival a few years back (although that whole weekend was a washout!) and think this could be a really good venue to catch him at. You can catch Ian brown at Ibiza Rocks on 15th June - see the club calendar for tickets.

Other notable mentions from the Ibiza Rocks 2010 programme for me are Prodigy on 20th July, Dizzee Rascal on the 27th July and florence and the machine on 24th August. If you're hoping to go to any of these nights I think tickets will be hot so buy in advance.
