Tourists can't believe how much they're charged for beer at Ibiza's newest club: 'It's just plainly indefensible'

Tourists are being charged an eye-watering amount for beer at Ibiza's newest club.
The hotspot has seen iconic venue Ku Club officially reopen as UNVRS, which promises to provide immersive indoor experiences with the help of technology.
Its website says: 'UNVRS is not just a venue, it's a blueprint for the future of entertainment. It creates a new reality for nightlife - one where the boundaries are not merely pushed, but redefined.'
The colossal venue, which opened last week, boasts a 10,000-person capacity and is instantly recognisable thanks to a towering crashed UFO sculpture at the entrance.
Inside, guests can enjoy open-air terraces with sweeping views of Formentera island, along with high-energy performances from dancers throughout the night.
However, the super club's drinks menu has caused a stir with visitors.
Posting on web forum Reddit, one user shared the menu, which reveals water is charged at €15 (£12).
Soft drinks such as Coca Cola and Sprite, meanwhile, cost €15 per bottle.
Posting on web forum Reddit , one user shared the menu, which reveals water will even be charged at €15 (£12)
The super club is charging €18 for a pint of Heineken, with wine and rosé also costing the same
When it comes to beers, a Heineken costs a staggering €18 (£15), while a glass of white wine or rosé costs the same.
A Malibu will set you back €22 (£18) or for one euro more you can order it alongside a mixer.
Moet and Chandon champagne is also on the menu, with a bottle costing €55 (£46).
Reacting, one person angrily said: '18 euros for a f****** Heineken? lol The one and only time I went to Hi they actually measured the spirits as well so you don't even get a good free pour.'
A second blasted: 'I know it's how Ibiza works but I'll never understand charging 15 euros for water or a Coke Zero. You don't even get that at festivals. It's just plainly indefensible.'
Hollywood actor Will Smith was drafted in by nightclub bosses to promote its reopening, with the Men In Black star even appearing in a social media campaign.

Lamine Yamal insists he did NOT try to meet adult film star, 29, after she threatened to leak voice messages from the Barca teenager - just days after he was spotted with a different model 12 years older than him

Lamine Yamal has denied he tried to meet up with an adult film star as debate emerged on who ensured a meeting between the 17-year-old and 29-year-old didn't take place. Barcelona star Yamal has burst onto the scene in recent months due to his staggering success at both club and international level, representing Barca and Spain respectively. In the off-season, the teenager has taken the time to enjoy some downtime - he is currently in Rio de Janeiro with 'idol' Neymar, having previously jetted off on holiday with another woman 12 years his senior. Now, though, just days after images of Yamal and OnlyFans model Fati Vazquez emerged, he has been drawn into a debate over a meeting with Claudia Bavel that never came to fruition. Yamal indirectly featured on Spanish TV show TardeAR, which saw producers air an off-air conversation with Yamal that saw him claim he didn't meet Bavel because he 'wasn't interested' in a discussion between the two. Alex Alvarez, meanwhile - a reporter on the show - alleged that there had been claims that Bavel's plan was to hire a photographer and sell images of a meet up, which Yamal said would have been impossible because he lives with his mother, who does not allow unfamiliar visitors. Bavel, though, has now spoken up herself, taking to social media to give her side of the story. The model, who was also present on TardeAR on Friday night, shared to her 259,000 followers: 'I chose not to speak publicly on this matter in 2025. However, since Lamine Yamal mentioned our alleged relationship on TardeAR, I find it appropriate to share my version with clarity and respect. 'He claims to live with his mother, but in reality lives alone. He says he rejected me, when he was the one who sought my contact and insisted on meeting. He denies we've met, despite crossing paths at several social events. 'I respectfully ask that offensive and defamatory messages stop. I have NEVER had any relationship with a minor, never arranged a meeting, and there was never any plan involving fame or money. 'The only thing we agree on is that no meeting or situation ever happened between us. Behind the headlines and public opinion, there are people. Out of respect, I ask for understanding and restraint.' Speaking on the show later that day, she added that they didn't meet because she didn't want to meet a minor. She also claimed to have voice notes of Yamal saying they could spend time together despite the age gap. She said she cut off contact with the star a long time ago, but alleged that she recently received a message from Yamal threatening her to not speak about their conversations. 'Ask her if you like,' Yamal had said. 'She'll probably pull out the excuse that "he's a minor", but we never met because I told her I wasn't interested.' Bavel - who was previously involved in a row with Real Madrid and Spain legend Iker Casillas - was appearing on the show on Friday night, after the original news was reported on Thursday. Vazquez (left) and Yamal (right) were both seen relaxing by the same pool on holiday in Italy The new controversy comes after photos were published of Yamal on holiday with Spanish flight attendant and social media influencer Fati Vazquez, who is 29 years old. Spanish magazine Lecturas published images of the pair on a jet ski together on the island of Pantelleria in the south of Sicily. It followed Yamal and Vazquez posting photos from the same location in recent days, with the pair enjoying a life of luxury that has included going on a boat trip, relaxing by a pool and flying in a helicopter. Lecturas wrote that the pair 'don't want to put a name to their obvious friendship', but said they 'get along perfectly'. 'Their closeness is such that they didn't hesitate to go on vacation at a key moment,; they added. 'They wanted to get away from it all and celebrate the season's many successes.' The report claimed there is a 'clear connection between them' and 'the age difference is not an obstacle to their understanding'. Yamal, however, has denied that they are a couple after speaking with gossip expert Javi de Hoyos. De Hoyos claims 'he's been able to speak to Yamal, and he categorically denies that he's with Vazquez; he says they have nothing going on. 'Lamine didn't go to this vacation spot alone, but with other Barca team-mates,' De Hoyos added. Vazquez has also spoken out about the backlash she has received, while stating she is 29 years old, after initially being reported as 30. The influencer said that she has received death threats following the photos of her with Yamal, while stating they are 'two people who want to have a good time'. 'I'm getting really p****d off, people are even wishing me dead because of it,' Vazquez told Spanish television show La familia de la tele. 'I'm receiving death threats and messages calling me a paedophile. 'First, I'm 29, I haven't made it to the thirties yet. I haven't done anything, haven't killed anyone. The reactions are just too heavy and it's even affecting him [Lamine]. 'I don't want to say anything more or make a big deal out of it or make it morbid, because I think it's completely unnecessary. 'We're just two people who want to have a good time, and that's it.' Vazquez shared another post on Instagram, responding to critics, of her in a swimming pool in Italy, with the caption: 'Imagine talking bad about me and I'm over here like this.'

Mastermind of furious anti-tourist protests in Majorca targeting Brits unmasked as boy, 16, inspired by Greta Thunberg

THE mastermind behind anti-tourist protests in Majorca targeting Brits has been unmasked as a 16-year-old boy inspired by Greta Thunberg. 7 7 7 7 Using Greta Thungburg as his inspiration, he confessed, Jaume Pujol is slowly becoming the fresh face of the movement - despite only just finishing the Spanish equivalent of GCSEs. Last weekend, anti-tourist protests swept across holiday hotspot towns and cities from the Balearic and Canary Islands to northern Spain, Portugal and Italy. They were organised and executed by the Southern European Network Against Tourism. In Palma on Sunday afternoon, anti-tourist demonstrators swarmed a table of dining Brits and chanted "go home" and "go to hell". One protester was even caught wielding an axe amid the deafening jeers. Jaume was in Palma on this day, being an organiser of the Majorcan group Menys Turisme, Mes Vida. Last Saturday he gave a live YouTube commentary as he and his fellow protesters stopped a sightseeing bus, hung banners over it and set off yellow smoke-bombs as terrified passengers watched on in horror. And on Sunday, Jaume stood on a platform to read out the group's three-page "manifesto". He said as thousands of supporters cheered: "The tourism model, whether luxury or mass, chokes us year after year, grabs economic and residential resources, destroys the territory, exploits the working class, contributes to climate crisis, and shatters our communities." He added how young people couldn't afford to live on their own island anymore due to foreigners buying properties. Anti-tourist protesters blast holidaymakers with water guns & block hotels Jaume's interest in protesting began at a young age when his trade unionist granddad took him on marches. And while his parents are "proud," Jaume revealed to Diario de Mallorca how they're also scared for him. He said: "I've received death threats, and they painted 'We're going to kill you' on the door of my school." As tourists continue to fear of chaos unravelling on their holidays with protests, Jaume told the Daily Mail that they have nothing to fear as he and his comrades' actions are directed towards the Balearic Islands' government. The march in Palma followed a similar string of incidents in Barcelona, where an anti-tourist mob surrounded a hotel and shot at holidaymakers with water pistols. Congregating outside the hotel, the group launched flares and held placards claiming tourism was robbing them of their futures. Staff at a nearby hotel were seen trying to break up the crowds and shouting at protesters to move away. Police stepped in before protesters could reach the famous tourist hot-spot la Sagrada Familia, avoiding potential clashes between holidaymakers and locals. Shouts of 'Tourists Go Home' and 'One More Tourist, One Less Local' could be heard as activists marched through the streets. They were also heard shouting: 'This tourism is terrorism.' City police said only 600 people had taken part, far less than the 8,000 who took part in the protest in Palma. Other marches took place in the Basque city of San Sebastian, several cities in Italy and in Lisbon as part of a co-ordinated series of street protests in southern Europe. What is overtourism? Overtourism refers to the phenomenon where a destination experiences a volume of tourists that exceeds its manageable capacity The term is often used to describe the negative consequences of mass tourism, which includes overcrowding and environmental issues As a result, popular destinations have become less enjoyable for both visitors and locals Local communities, in particular, bear the brunt, facing rising costs and a depletion of resources In response, national and local governments have started to implement measures to reduce overtourism Some solutions include: Safeguarding historical and heritage sites Promoting off-peak travel Tourism caps and regulations Promoting lesser-known destinations 7 7 7

Clubbing in Essex to be explored by new exhibition

Two former 1990s ravers are laying on a series of events exploring the rise and fall of the clubbing scene in Essex and across the Emma Edmondson and writer Tim Burrows, both 41, grew up on opposite sides of the Thames Estuary but enjoyed mirroring experiences of the nightclub pair are hosting an exhibition at the Westgate Shopping Centre in Basildon on Saturday as part of the 2025 Estuary Festival."The dance floor was the Tinder of the late 90s," said Emma. The duo told BBC Essex that "before acid house, before Ibiza, there was Essex".But in the last five years, about 400 clubs have closed in Britain – more than a third of the total number. Emma grew up in Herne Bay over the water in Kent, but is familiar with the once iconic Essex clubs of Raquel's in Basildon, Talk of the South in Southend-on-Sea and Goldmine on Canvey was brought in by government in the 1990s criminalising unlicensed raves and large gatherings, and some of the county's best known venues started to close. "Looking at the Southend strip and how all of those nightclubs have turned into bowling allies or are just laying empty... me and Tim wanted to interrogate what has actually happened to Southend, Basildon [and] south Essex's nightlife," Emma continued."There are very few places where we can commune with strangers unless we're commuting."She said their project aimed to "reaffirm the social importance of the dance floor." Emma and Tim's events will start with an exhibition at 17:00 BST on Saturday in Unit 10 at Westgate in Basildon, which will include a video installation housed in a deconstructed frame of a noughties Ford Fiesta a series of sculptural paintings, and a panel discussion hosted by day will conclude with a Raquel's reunion event at the Owl and Pussycat pub in the Tuesday, Tim will talk again at Unit 10 about some of the themes in his new book - a collection of essays called "Clubbing and commune-ing in Essex" - joined by fellow Guardian writer Dan Hancox. Tim, from Southend-on-Sea, said the Covid-19 pandemic had played its part in the decline of clubbing.A recent Night Time Industries Association study of more than 2,000 people aged between 18 and 30 found that nearly two thirds were going out less frequently than the year before.A separate YouGov survey of 18 to 24-year-olds showed Gen Z continued to be the most sober age group, with 39% of them not drinking alcohol at all."It's all of the usual things like rising rent, it's tuition fees being higher than they have been before - so students can't afford to go out as much," said Tim.
