Private event in Ibiza: A Disco Birthday Celebration

How do you celebrate your 40th birthday in true style?

When three best friends — Laurie, Véronique and Rosalie — turned forty, there was only one way to celebrate: together, under the Ibizan sun. They wanted more than a dinner or a night out. They wanted  a once-in-a-lifetime celebration that their guests would talk about for years.

The day began with a bohemian 70s-style pool party at a private estate. Flowing kaftans, retro sunglasses, and barefoot dancing set the tone. The air was filled with the scent of an Argentinian barbecue, while a live DJ spun mellow daytime beats, occasionally joined by a saxophonist who lifted the energy higher with every note.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the tempo changed. Guests gathered for a champagne tower — a sparkling moment that marked the shift from poolside lounging to late-night dancing.  Inside the pergola, a live trio filled the night with soul, funk, and disco rhythms, before the DJ took over and transformed the space into a private Ibiza nightclub.

Why Ibiza was the obvious choice

With over a hundred guests arriving from Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Spain — Ibiza was the perfect meeting point — offering endless sunshine, spectacular venues and world-class hospitality. The group stayed in an exclusive hotel booked entirely for the occasion, ensuring both privacy and grandeur — the essence of a luxury island celebration.

How do you announce a birthday celebration?

Instead of traditional paper invitations, the three friends set up a private Instagram account. It became their digital invitation, filled with clues about the theme, countdown posts and sneak peeks that built excitement week after week.

💡 Pro tip: Create an Instagram account for your event and ask guests to tag it in their stories. It’s the easiest way to collect, repost and relive every moment afterwards.
