'I flew to Ibiza for a night out and it was cheaper than staying in the UK'
Savannah, 22, says she spent less on flights, clubs and drinks in Ibiza than she would have spent on a night out at home
A woman flew to Ibiza and soent the night in a club for less than she would have spent on a night out at home. Savannah Southward, 22, booked some cheap flights to spend 17 hours dancing and soaking up the Spanish sun.
Savannah and her pal Leighton Speak spent just £45 on their Ryanair tickets from Manchester Airport. The duo landed in Ibiza at around 10pm before heading to DJ duo CamelPhat's opening party at nightclub Pacha.
The salon owner arrived around midnight and partied until 6am, before the pair headed to the beach. They sunbathed their hangovers away and topped up their tans before heading back to the UK.
She spent £40 at the club and £15 on spending money so in total the trip costs her £100. 'Even though Ibiza is an expensive place I didn't spend more than I would on a night in the UK,' said Savannah, of Wigton, near Carlisle, Cumbria.
'I think a lot of people do day trips abroad because there's always cheap flights and sometimes you spend less than you would in the UK. I would absolutely pick Ibiza nightlife over the UK, it's always so busy with so many options of clubs and music.
'We landed about 10pm and had some pre-drinks before we went to CamelPhat's opening party at Pacha. It opened at 11pm but we got there for about 12:30am and stayed until 6am.
'We then waited on the beach until it was time to go back to the airport about 12pm. We didn't go to sleep but we were definitely ready for a nap when we got on the plane. The whole night went so fast we didn't even have time to think about being tired.
'We both agreed it was the best night out we've ever had and now we know how easy and affordable it is we have rebooked for July.'
The duo took the trip last month flying out on 20 May and returning the next day.

Huge holiday hotspot sees big drop in UK tourists after locals 'demonise' them
Benidorm is one of the biggest winners in Spain of the drop in British holidaymakers choosing Magaluf following the party resort "clean-up", local bar and nightclub chiefs say A Spanish holiday resort once beloved by Brits is seeing its popularity falter amid efforts to tidy up its image. According to Miguel Perez-Marsa, head of the ABONE nightclub association on Majorca, young Brits are shunning Magaluf. The area used to be overrun by UK tourists during the summer but now attracts a more diverse European crowd. Miguel argued that Brits feel "demonized." French and Italian visitors, who tend to drink less and spend less on nights out, are filling the void left by British revellers. At the same time, British youths, once the mainstay of Magaluf's raucous Punta Ballena strip, have been "steam-rollered" and are now heading to Benidorm and other "more-welcoming" resorts, Miguel said. While more British families are visiting Magaluf, they're choosing all-inclusive deals, which means they're spending less money outside their hotels, Miguel told Diario de Mallorca. The reputation of Magaluf took a hit following the release of a scandalous sex video in June 2014, involving a British tourist in a bar, which resulted in a year-long closure of the establishment and a concerted effort by local authorities to clean up the resort's image. Magaluf's infamous party strip has been under the spotlight since Majorca's leading politician at the time, Jose Ramon Bauza, slammed Punta Ballena as "500 metres of shame". This came after an 18-year-old girl was tricked into performing sex acts for a supposed free holiday, only to receive a cocktail named 'Holiday'. Fines reaching up to £50,000 were introduced for tourists caught balcony jumping, and alcohol service with meals at all-inclusive hotels in areas like Magaluf was restricted under a regional government decree targeting 'drunken tourism', introduced five years ago. Last year saw even stricter measures, including £1,300 penalties for street drinking and mandatory night-time shutdowns of alcohol-selling shops in parts of Magaluf. In May 2024 the Mirror's Hollie Bone visited Magaluf and was shocked by the levels of debauchery on display, despite these efforts. "In just one night our reporter was offered cocaine five times and witnessed a stag party buying a huge can of nitrous oxide, known as hippy crack, before using it openly in a bar. And previous visitors have urged those going this year to be careful as thuggish bouncers, incidents of spiking and theft still plague the party town," she wrote. "During our week in Magaluf we witnessed several blatant breaches of the new laws. We saw members of the stag party buy two one litre bottles of vodka and gin after making an after-hours deal with a takeaway owner at 3am. The same group also bought the nitrous oxide and inhaled balloons of the gas in front of nonchalant bar workers. "Revellers are still enticed into bars by the offers of a free shot with their first drink. For some young Britons a summer season here is still as attractive and exciting as it was eight years ago. One barman from Tottenham, North London, told us he came here in 2016 and has never looked back." During a visit in May last year, Britain's then-Ambassador to Spain, Hugh Elliott, called on visitors in the Majorcan hotspot to "show responsibility" and remember they are "guests" in Spain. British holidaymakers form the majority of Benidorm's international visitors. Recent statistics revealed that over two-thirds of the Costa Blanca resort's tourists in May were from overseas, with an encouraging average hotel occupancy rate of 84.7% for the month. This Sunday an anti-mass tourism demonstrators are gearing up for another rally in the Majorcan capital, Palma. The event is orchestrated by activist group Menys Turisme, Mes Vida, with a coalition of 60 organisations confirming their participation. Activists from other cities such as Barcelona and San Sebastian are set to join in a series of synchronised protests. A spokesperson for Menys Turisme, Mes Vida declared last week: "We will demonstrate for the right to a decent life and to demand the brakes are put on the touristification of this island."

The 12th season of Love Island is back this month, making its debut on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm on Monday, June 9 - hot on the heels of the second series of Love Island All Stars which was broadcast earlier in the year. Hosted by Maya Jama and back On the Spanish island of Mallorca, Series 12 marks a decade since the show first hit screens in 2015. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Since then it has been streamed more than a billion times and is regularly the most watched programme for those aged 16-34. Show chiefs promise viewers should 'get set for a summer full of twists and turns. From bombshell arrivals to surprise dumpings, Islanders in sun-drenched Mallorca must truly expect the unexpected.' Scottish comedian Iain Stirling will once again be voicing as Islanders battle it out in the UK's biggest dating show. But he's not the only Scottish connection this year - with a Glaswegian contestant entering the villa. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Alima Gagigo is a 23-year-old wealth management client services executive who graduated from Glasgow Caledonian University with a BA hons in International Business in July 2023. Prior to her degree she went to school in Portugal. She can play the flute and her celebrity crush is actor Theo James. Here's what she ha to say in response to a few questions from programme makers. The type of Islander I'd like to couple up with is… A tall man with a handsome face. You know when you just look at a guy and they have that Disney prince look to them? That's it. You're a 10 but… I cut people off too quickly. If you're not my boyfriend, I'm not going to argue with you. Sometimes I don't even give it a chance. Most of the time all it probably needed is that one conversation, but I'm just like, 'Bye, onto the next one.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad What's your biggest ick? I once went on a date with someone who took food home from the restaurant on the first date. Normally I'd say do it because it was an expensive restaurant and the food was amazing… but not on the first date. It's morning in the Villa, where would we find you? Doing pilates, I'm a pilates girl. If your love life up until now was a movie, what would it be called? Ooh that's a good question.. I really fancy French men, so maybe 'Alima in Paris'? If you were the CEO of anything, what would it be? Relationship advice. I'm so quick to cut people off so my advice is always, 'If he wanted to, he would'. End of. I'm so sorry, I know it's not the best mindset but I think if he's not doing something for you, but he's willing to do it for someone else… Like, if you're waiting for a text back, there's someone else he's texting who isn't waiting for it, so, do you know what I mean? I know there's instances where it doesn't apply, but generally speaking it does. Would Maya hire or fire you based on your flirting skills alone? I think she'd hire me because I'm a good flirt. I always ask guys on a night out to guess which country I'm originally from. If they get it right, they can get my number. But they never guess correctly so it works really well if you don't want to give a guy your number. I'm originally from Guinea Bissau. If they're close and I really fancy them, I'll give them my number anyway. If your love life was a business would it be booming or would you be bankrupt? Bankrupt because of poor management. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad What kind of airport person are you; arrive 3+ hours early/ last one to gate? On time. I'm very relaxed when it comes to airport etiquette and have never missed a flight. People who queue up at the gate annoy me. They have a seat and the plane is literally there! You can just sit there and relax and join the queue in decent time. My mum and dad always want to be the first in the queue. Do you have any unusual skills/secret hobbies? Something unusual that happened was when I helped my mum give birth to my little sister at home. I was busy writing an essay for university when my mum went into labour. I called an ambulance and a woman on the phone told me what to do. I'd say it was only a 15 minute labour!
