SPANISH sun, sangria, and sensational beats – Ibiza and Marbella are making serious waves on the global pool party scene, with five Spanish venues smashing into the top 20 most popular destinations for 2025.

The research by Pour Moi swimwer dove deep into Google searches, TikTok trends and Instagram hype, and reveals what every party animal already knows  Spain is the undisputed king of the European pool party.

Taking the bronze medal globally and top in Europe is Destino Ibiza, the island’s chic clifftop venue famed for its glamourous crowd and unbeatable sunset sessions.

Racking up 3.8 million engagements, it’s clear that the world can’t get enough of this Balearic beauty.

But that’s not all. Ibiza continues its reign with Ushuaïa (6th) and Blue Marlin (7th) – both must-visit destinations for international ravers who prefer their champagne poolside and their beats loud.

Whether it’s acrobatics, live DJs or designer swimwear on full display, these venues are keeping the party scene alive and kicking.

Heading to the mainland, the Ocean Club Marbella crashes in at 14th, bringing some serious Costa del Sol energy to the rankings. Known for its lavish beds and decadent champagne showers, it’s the perfect place to splash the cash in true jet-set style.
