Fearne Cotton uncovers lesser-known Ibiza ‘for same price as club entry'
Fearne Cotton is enjoying the single life - and unearthing a refreshingly different side to party Island Ibiza - and we've tried and tested it just for you.... Most of us have jetted off to Ibiza for a holiday to remember (and some cracking stories to bring home) - or at least had pals heading to the famous White Isle for some serious clubbing, probably followed by quite the hangover the following morning as they languish poolside. But TV presenter and former radio DJ Fearn Cotton is hoping to open travellers' eyes to a very different side to beautiful Ibiza - an island she's loved and visited each year for a long time now - which you can sample in less than a day. The perfect, chilled-out accompaniment to any holiday to the party hotspot. The 43-year-old mum-of-two, who is positively glowing and clearly enjoying the single life following her recently split from ex-husband Jesse Woods after 10 years of marriage, wants travellers to the party island to think about alternative days out when they're there, as research reveals that over a third of British travellers would actually avoid bars and clubs while visiting the beloved Spanish island. As gorgeous Fearne says "Trust me, we've all had some Ibiza experiences we can't quite remember. That's why I'm back to experience another side of the White Isle with GetYourGuide. And I promise you, I won't forget it." Having now followed in the star's footsteps, we can confirm that yes, it absolutely is possible to hit up Ushuaia Ibiza for a superstar DJ set one day, and find yourself indulging in a spot of yoga in a magically unspoilt location the next. In fact, it's a must. Enter Ibiza: Unplugged wellness experiences - a genius collaboration between Happy Place founder Ferne and GetYourGuide which, at a remarkably reasonable 40 euros - a price which would just about get you into one of Ibiza's top clubs, you can step away from the madness for a day and try something refreshingly different. The experience, which is a half-day itinerary, includes a beautiful sunrise hike, a boat trip (or a relaxing 'snooze cruise' as Fearne puts it) with a stop off for swimming in the most crystal clear waters you'll ever experience, where the views across the Formentera are nothing short of spectacular, a yoga class in the cool pine forest overlooking a secluded cove and a zen-inducing sound bath. Heaven.. During our escape to the sun-soaked isle, where we also sampled the chic vibes of 5 star hotel The Mondrian Ibiza, perched above the stunning turquoise waters of Cala Llonga, we tested out Fearne's lush itinerary ourselves. And yes, we can tell you, it's the perfect anecdote to the buzzing party spots, even if you're ready to hit the town the next day. Kicking off with an easy to moderate hike - which sets off at around 6am so you're not trekking in baking temperatures, takes you up the mountain to a spot where you have a stunning view of tiny uninhabited island Es Vedrà at sunrise. Perfect golden light for the Gram, if you really must! A tiny, rocky island which stands at roughly 400 metres high, Es Vedrà is seen as a mystical location by locals and travellers alike - one that's associated with a magnetic, positive energy which many, sceptics included, have said pulls them back to the island, time and again. It's with this stunning view that GetYourGuide travellers can then settle in under a beautiful sun-dappled pines to indulge in some yoga with a brilliant local teacher. Ours was incredible, she located exactly where my back problems lay and offered me a mini-massage, as we attempted our downward dogs. That's another thing - like the hike, the yoga session is perfect for beginners and pros alike. Everything can be done at your own pace - with the help of hunky guide Pablo Leonard, co-founder of travel company Into The Island. Pablo is more than happy to chat about life on Ibiza, throw in some local restaurant recommendations (we visited Monkey Ibiza with its outdoor pools and boho food-to-table Aubergine with its beautiful garden on his recommendation and both get our vote). Hell, he'll even rustle you up a nifty mango-based sangria during your boat-trip, if you play your cards right. Wellness advocate Fearne, who admits Ibiza is her 'happy place', says:: 'I first visited Ibiza 20 years ago and fell in love with the island's energy and people. There's something truly magical about this place and however hectic my life gets, a trip here will always bring me back to myself. 'Over the last two decades I've discovered the best secret spots for sunrise hikes, chilly dips and soulful yoga sessions. And this summer I'm going to let you in on some of my hidden gems. 'With GetYourGuide I've curated the perfect way to unplug and spend a chilled day in Ibiza, guided by true experts that know the island like the back of their hand. And the best thing about it? It's all for the price of a club entry. So treat yourself to a night off!' And mental health advocate Fearne 's love of a more low-key vibe on occasion seems to be reflected in the habits of a whole lot of discerning holidaymakers these days. According to a survey by GetYourGuide and YouGov, around 1 in 30 British travellers avoid clubbing and hangovers - to make sure they're getting the greatest benefit out of their holiday activities. It would seem it's also the hefty price of drinks (32%) and club entry (32%) which are putting more than a third of club-loving British from hitting the clubs when abroad - with British travellers three times more likely to pick a holiday because it has a well-known spa (13%) as opposed to a banging nightclub (4%). After experiencing GetYourGuide ambassador Fearne's carefully curated Ibiza activities for ourselves we are converted to the idea that you can go wild one night, find your inner zen and take in some jaw-dropping scenery the next. Ibiza, you're a special place. We will be back… Ibiza Unplugged is running on selected dates throughout August, and has been co-created with trusted GetYourGuide partner, Into The Island. Bookings are live now for 'Ibiza: Unplugged' on the GetYourGuide website and app – available on a first-come-first-serve basis on 1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd August 2025.

Fearne Cotton looks incredible in a plunging red swimsuit and ab-flashing workout gear in behind the scenes snaps from her wellness trip to Ibiza
Fearne Cotton looked incredible wearing a plunging red swimsuit in behind the scenes images from her recent wellness trip to Ibiza. The telly favourite, 43, looked happy and healthy in the one-piece while posing on a boat as she cruised through the med with the wind in her hair. She later changed into a two piece, throwing a nude crocheted cover up over the top while being shown the sites on her boat trip. Enjoying some 'me-time', the mother-of-two later changed into a two piece, throwing a nude crocheted cover up over the top while being shown the sites on her boat trip. The mental health advocate, best-selling author and long-standing broadcaster took a hike to get a good view of Es Vedrà during sunrise. Es Vedrà is a small rocky island standing at almost 400 metres high where people typically go to practise meditation because it's associated with positive energy and spirituality. Naturally, Fearne added a fashionable flourish to her look wearing a thin scarf around her neck and carrying a crossbody bag for the excursion. Other behind the scenes photos showed Fearne getting the giggles while deep in conversation with handsome Pablo Leonard, co-founder of Into The Island, who was showing her the sights. Fearne, who is a GetYourGuide ambassador, has been finding the balance of letting her hair down and prioritising wellness. She likes to visit Ibiza, an island she considers to be her happy place - every year and has been embracing the single life since announcing she has split from husband Jesse Wood in December 2024 after 10 years of marriage. While there, she celebrated her friend's 50th birthday during her latest trip on the island, where she was pictured wearing a blue sequin mini dress and looking happier than ever. Fearne - who rarely drinks alcohol - completed the eye-catching outfit with silver boots and matching jewellery, posing for photos with friends as they danced the night away. She captioned the post: 'A weekend of dancing and filming in Ibiza. First up celebrating Hedvig's 50th. So many special memories made. Danced all day (shout out to my dance partner Emma. So many memories in the happy box). She took in the sights as she stood atop a rock during her hike 'Then filming something cool with the loveliest team of people which will be out soon. A relentless, vibrant weekend of lovely people. My cup is full and I need some sleep.' Her post came after Fearne's ex, Jesse proved things are getting serious in his new relationship with Gemma Gregory. The musician, 48, went public with his romance with the former Made In Chelsea star, 39, two months ago and they are going from strength to strength. Fearne is keen to urge Ibiza revellers to discover the alternative side of the island given that over a third of British travellers would avoid bars and clubs when visiting and has teamed up with GetYourGuide to serve up Ibiza: Unplugged wellness experiences. Priced at 40 euros, the average price of Ibiza club entry, it features a sunrise hike, boat trip, yoga class and sound bath all in a half-day itinerary. Tequilas or tumeric? It's not just Fearne taking a new approach to holidaying, GetYourGuide and YouGov surveyed over 2,500 British travellers and found 1 in 3 (30%) avoid clubbing and hangovers to ensure they can make the most of their holiday activities. In equal measure it's the cost of drinks (32%) and club entry (32%) which are putting over a third of British travellers off clubbing abroad. With Brits three times more likely to pick a holiday for having a well-known spa (13%) versus a famous nightclub (4%). Fearne said: 'I first visited Ibiza 20 years ago and fell in love with the island's energy and people. There's something truly magical about this place and however hectic my life gets, a trip here will always bring me back to myself.

Revealed: The European destinations with an even bigger party scene than Ibiza
The White Isle might be best-known for hedonism and clubbing but Ibiza no longer reigns supreme as Europe's top party hotspot. According to new research from GetYourGuide, it's Ayia Napa that's now Europe's best destination for partying. A tourist resort on Cyprus' southern coast, Ayia Napa is particularly popular in the summer with young adults looking to let loose. The majority of its clubbing scene takes place on the Ayia Napa Strip which is packed with late-night venues. Next on the list in Europe is Majorca. The Spanish island is a popular family destination but it's also home to Magaluf, one of the continent's best-known party hotspots. Although the resort has looked to change its reputation in recent years, many Brits still see the beach destination as a clubbing haven. But that's not the case in Ibiza. New research from GetYourGuide has found that more than a third (33 per cent) of Britons travelling to Ibiza would try to avoid bars and clubs when visiting the Balearic island. The study also found that 58 per cent of Britons want to skip the hangover and leave their holiday feeling rested and revived. Nearly half (43 per cent) of women travellers say they would consider not drinking on holiday and that 'they don't need it to have a good time'. The cost of drinks and club entry has also put some Britons off holidaying in a party destination. Benjy Potter, a GetYourGuide spokesperson, said: 'Gone are the days of fly-and-flop as booking data and travellers themselves are telling us they want to immerse themselves in local culture and soak up the unique experiences a destination like Ibiza has to offer. 'As four in 10 British travellers admit to drinking less on holidays now than they did five years ago, it opens up their itinerary to more opportunities for discovering their destination. 'If they can just peel themselves away from the bar, they'll find a whole new side to Ibiza, beyond the buffet.' GetYourGuide has partnered with Fearne Cotton to launch a new experience in Ibiza that will focus on everything the island has to offer beyond partying. Fearne reveals: 'I first visited Ibiza 20 years ago and fell in love with the island's energy and people. 'There's something truly magical about this place and however hectic my life gets, a trip here will always bring me back to myself. 'Over the last two decades I've discovered the best secret spots for sunrise hikes, chilly dips and soulful yoga sessions.' 'Ibiza:Unplugged' can be booked on the GetYourGuide website and app on a first-come-first-serve basis. The experience is available on August 1, 8, 15 and 22 in 2025.

Europe Travel Companies Slam Deal to Soften Big Tech Rules
There has already been a backlash against the DMA in Europe. It's really hard to see how giving the gatekeepers more of a voice in how they are regulated would be feasible without gutting the DMA's intent. GetYourGuide CEO Johannes Reck blasted the prospect that the U.S. and the European Union are close to an agreement to give American tech companies a say in how Europe implements the Digital Markets Act. The agreement is part of trade negotiations and would halt enforcement while talks are under way, according to the Wall Street Journal. "The choice is clear: We either build a truly competitive digital market in Europe or we resign ourselves to becoming a digital backwater. I know which future I'm fighting for," Reck said. Separately, the leaders of GetYourGuide, HomeToGo, Omio and several German e-commerce companies and groups wrote a letter to the Ge
