🌴 Lesbian festival · Ibiza, Spain
Velvet Ibiza
Velvet Ibiza is a five-day festival built entirely for queer women, held on the island of Ibiza each May since 2015. It blends daytime pool parties, boat trips and beach hangs with late-night club nights — a small-island version of a full queer-women’s holiday rather than a single event.
When is Velvet Ibiza?
21–25 May 2026 (it runs each May — confirm the next edition on the official site). It’s held five days in late May each year.

A festival village based at an Ibiza resort hotel, with an all-in programme of parties, excursions and DJ nights curated for lesbian, bi and queer women. It is intimate compared with the big circuit festivals — the same crowd across five days on one island.
It is built around the host hotel and Ibiza’s beaches and boats, with club nights in the evenings — the relaxed, sun-and-sea side of Ibiza rather than the mega-club strip.
Where to stay for Velvet Ibiza
Most guests stay at the festival’s host hotel, which is booked as part of the experience; Ibiza is a small island, so getting around to beaches and boats is easy.
