Ibiza's famed party scene descended into chaos this weekend – with a dramatic fight breaking out by the poolside. In a brawl caught on camera, revellers were hit with flying chairs.
The ruckus was filmed and posted on Instagram on Sunday by @sanantonioibiza, showing a shocking scuffle at the well-known Marco Polo hotel in San Antonio. A seemingly peaceful day by the pool turned into bedlam when a group of revellers got caught up in an intense altercation, leaving bystanders stunned.
In the clip, there's a blur of action as several individuals tussle and slip on the slick poolside surface. During the scrap, a bloke in blue shorts is spotted lobbing a chair towards others already in the water.
A woman in a black bikini can be seen losing her footing and tumbling into the fracas, along with two more people stumbling over the chairs.
A lifeguard tries to step in and stop another chair from being thrown but doesn't succeed, as the situation further deteriorates. More hotel employees rush to the scene in an effort to restore order.
This all took place under a sign that ironically read: "Good Vibes Only." To add to the irony, Jess Glynne's popular tune "Hold My Hand", famously associated with Jet2Holidays, blares in the background throughout the incident.
Some thought the situation was amusing, with one taking to Instagram to sarcastically write: "Yeah, a chair flew... but so did the vibes. Only at Marco Polo #ibizaexperience #ibizaunfiltered".
Others could also see the humour in the incident. One laughed: "The message on the wall is the best thing." Meanwhile, another observed: "The more you watch, the more you see."
However, others didn't think it was a laughing matter. Concerned for people captured in the footage, one viewer asked: "Is anyone going to see how that poor woman is doing?"
Meanwhile, others linked it to wider issues going on in Spain. They noted: "No wonder the Spanish people are striking."
One individual, who claimed to be there during the incident, offered their own take. They alleged: "The lads throwing the chairs were being nightmares around the pool all day and were from Ibiza Rocks not Marco Polo.
"The blonde lad got started on and drops two of them so they get the chairs and start swinging them and that's the video you see… the lads that threw the chairs got kicked out and back to good vibes."
The hotel is yet to comment on the viral footage.
