Island of her own


Where the island was once branded solely as Europe’s party capital, it’s now emerging as a sanctuary of transformation

Long known as a playground for the beautiful and the bold, Ibiza is evolving. The island still celebrates freedom, but today that freedom looks different. It’s no longer just about the sunrise after the rave; it’s about the space between beats—where creativity, intention, and feminine fire converge.

At the heart of this evolution is a powerhouse collective of women behind the scenes at Blue Marlin Ibiza. “Women are an all-female powerhouse here,” says Olimpia Bellan, the brand’s communications lead and editorial director of BMI:MAG, Blue Marlin’s cult magazine. “From the decks to the design desk, these women are the heartbeat of Blue Marlin Ibiza, each one a creative force, spinning magic across music, visuals, and unforgettable experiences.”

The team she’s talking about isn’t your typical hospitality line-up. There’s Gaby Karmeisool, the strategic force keeping the brand’s engine humming with precision and purpose. Anet Dinsmann, the graphics guru whose visual signature appears everywhere from menus to murals. Linchy, the set designer who transforms open-air spaces into cinematic dreamscapes. And on the decks: Eli Rojas, the Latin-Caribbean DJ who commands Thursdays with her Amazona event, and Khenya, a soulful selector who turns Sunday into something elemental.

Their presence is not symbolic—it’s structural. These women are shaping the Ibiza experience from the inside out.

“Blue Marlin Ibiza supports and inspires girl power, on and off the beach,” says Bellan. “We champion female talent, DJs, creatives, and create a space where women feel seen, heard, and celebrated. It’s part of who we are.”

It shows. The music curation is razor-sharp. The style is effortless. The crowd? A global tribe of women who know exactly what they came for: connection, elegance, energy. “Today’s female guests want more than a party,” Bellan explains. “They come for alignment, beauty, impeccable service, and the kind of energy that uplifts and empowers.”

That demand for more is what’s reshaping the narrative around Ibiza. Where the island was once branded solely as Europe’s party capital, it’s now emerging as a sanctuary of transformation. It’s a place where women arrive to launch businesses, explore consciousness, or simply reconnect with themselves. “Ibiza has always been a magnet for free spirits,” Bellan says. “Its energy, openness, and creativity attract women who lead with passion, whether they’re exploring solo, launching projects, or expressing themselves through art.”

“We don’t just champion women—we build the spaces where they lead, create, and shine.”

There’s a raw honesty to that freedom. And it’s being reflected in how the island looks, feels, and sounds in 2025. More wellness. More intentional design. More creative collectives led by women who understand that vibe is more than music—it’s meaning.

Blue Marlin Ibiza taps into this moment effortlessly. Not just because it looks good in photos (it does), but because it understands its audience: women who don’t need permission to take up space, but appreciate a space that’s been thoughtfully, and powerfully, crafted for them.

“Several female artists feature in our magazine every year,” Bellan adds. “We want the stories we tell to reflect the energy we live.”

It’s working. The experience here lingers. You leave not just with a golden tan and memories, but with the sense that you’ve witnessed something—and someone—rising. Something bold. Something feminine. Something free. Because when women shape culture, they don’t just follow the beat—they change it completely.

Let the waves and the women remind you: this island doesn’t follow trends—it sets them. And the future? She’s already on the dance floor at Blue Marlin.
