The Damage — Week Plan

Five nights out. One of them at our own house.

Amnesia turns 50 this year and has, unwisely, scheduled its birthday for the exact week we land. The gaps between these nights are not rest days. They are simply nights we haven't booked tickets for yet.

The Great Big Villa Party Home Fixture

  • Special guest DJs
  • Barbecue
  • Pool
  • Terrace
  • Sound system
  • + whoever we met on Monday

The one night we don't have to negotiate with a taxi driver at sunrise, because the party is already in the garden. Complete and utter hedonism, catered.

🔥 Deposit status: optimistic. Neighbours: none. Witnesses: legally, still none.

Base Camp

Villa Boutique Balafi

Deep in the countryside near Sant Llorenç de Balàfia — far enough from civilisation that nobody can hear the 6am terrace set. This is the plan, and it is a good plan.

The pool terrace at Villa Boutique Balafi — white geometric parasols, sun loungers and a pool, with the Ibiza hills behind.
This is the actual pool. This is where it all goes wrong. Villa Boutique Balafi · Sant Llorenç de Balàfia

The Compound 🏝️

Seven double rooms, one pool, one garden, and a patio destined to become a stage. Twenty minutes from Ibiza Town, which is precisely the right distance for a taxi negotiation at sunrise.

  • 🛏️7 double rooms — allocated by a process best described as "vibes"
  • 🏊Outdoor pool — the afterparty venue, the recovery ward, and the debate chamber
  • 🌳Garden & patio — for villa parties and quiet 5am reflection on choices made
  • 📍Sant Llorenç de Balàfia — countryside, no neighbours, no witnesses
  • 🗓️Sun 20 → Sun 27 September — seven nights, sleep not included

Room Roster

Seven doors. Behind each one, a person who swore they were "just having one".

Projected sleep~4%
Based on four confirmed club nights, one 12pm-to-6pm pool party stacked on top of the biggest of them, one villa pool, and a group chat that has never once said "shall we have an early one?"
The Crew

The ones responsible.

Seven rooms' worth of people who have all, at some point, described this as "a bit much" and then immediately booked flights.

🕺

Oli

The Disorganiser

Guaranteed to be drinking shots out of tealight candles at 6am. If you thought you were getting any sleep this week, he says no.

💃

Aryel

Front & Centre

Will be on the barrier for every single set. Has the stamina of someone half her age and knows it.

🎧

Twan

Head of Music

Owns more records than the rest of us combined. Sole authority on what goes on the villa speaker. See Rule 01.

🌍

Moe

The Explorer

Has been everywhere, climbed most of it. Will attempt to find an afterparty in a location that does not have one.

💪

Debby

Head of Recovery

The only one with the fitness to survive all four nights. Will suggest a morning hike to a group that has not yet been to bed.

🔥

Claudio

Wildcard

Arrives with no plan and somehow ends up knowing the promoter, the bar staff and three people in the DJ booth.

✨

Daniela

Lost In The Breakdown

Eyes shut, hands up, gone by the second drop. Do not attempt conversation between 2am and 5am — she is busy.

…and the rest of the room roster, still pending. Names to be added once they stop pretending they might not come.

House Rules

Non-negotiable. Mostly.

Rule 01

Trance all the way

If it hasn't got a breakdown that makes a grown adult put their hands in the air, it doesn't go on the villa speaker. No exceptions, no matter who asks nicely at 4am.

Rule 02

DJ kidnapping is a group activity

If a DJ can be persuaded back to the villa, that is a win for the whole house. Persuaded. We're saying persuaded.

Rule 03

Sleep is a rumour

Started by people who did not come to Ibiza. Naps by the pool count as a full night and will be recorded as such.

Rule 04

"One more" is a binding contract

Once spoken aloud, it is legally enforceable under maritime law and the terms of this villa. Do not test it.

Rule 05

The 6am terrace is mandatory

Sunrise is not the end of the night. Sunrise is a lighting change.

Rule 06

What happens at Balafi…

…gets brought up at every single gathering for the next decade. Obviously. Act accordingly, or don't.
