Couple book sunbeds at luxury Ibiza beach club and are staggered when bill arrives
Couple book sunbeds at luxury Ibiza beach club and are staggered when bill arrives Federica and Giuseppe, from Italy, recently visited the party island of Ibiza and booked some sunbeds at a beach club - but the bill left them stunned The couple visited the popular Cala Bassa beach in Ibiza (Image: StudioBarcelona via Getty Images) A couple who jetted off to Ibiza were left stunned by just how expensive their Spanish getaway became. Federica and Giuseppe, who come from Italy, document their adventures on their My Trip to Naples (@ilmioviaggioanapoli) social media page. The duo travelled to the renowned party island last year and reserved some sun loungers at a beach club. They indulged in bubbly and soaked up the atmosphere – but were astonished to discover their beach club experience cost more than their actual flights to Ibiza. At Cala Bassa Beach Club, located on Sant Josep beach, they were hit with a staggering €400 (£344) bill. Their lavish afternoon included a €40 (£34) fee purely for the sun loungers, an eye-watering €160 (£137) on bubbly, and a further €200 (£172) splashed out on meals. The influencers were shocked by the huge bill (Image: Jam Press/@ilmioviaggioanapoli) Giuseppe remarked: "Something is wrong here, because I paid more to be here for a few hours than on the flight to visit the island." Their TikTok clip has racked up over 723,000 views and attracted 10,000 likes. Viewers were swift to voice their reactions – with many declaring they'd avoid the destination due to the expense. One commented: "Exaggerated prices everywhere, travelling now is a luxury." Another stated: "Thanks now I know where NOT to go." Whilst a third remarked: "I had booked but left! Obscene! The sunbeds all without sun and to take a dip you have to step on 100 people!" The couple showed their staggering bill (Image: Jam Press Vid/@ilmioviaggioanapo) However, some have labelled the couple as foolish for choosing a luxury beach club, known for their hefty price tags. A critical comment pointed out: "For those who complain, it is not compulsory to spend that money for a sunbed and umbrella, I have been to the same beach, right side with a towel on the sand." Ibiza is home to some of the most exquisite beaches in the Mediterranean, boasting clear waters, dramatic cliffs, and idyllic coves. The island's natural splendour is a magnet for those seeking opulence – with the affluent often seen cruising along its shores on private yachts.

'We booked sunbeds at Ibiza beach club and wild price was more than our flights'
Federica and Giuseppe, from Italy, were looking forward to a day of luxury at the Cala Bassa Beach Club in Ibiza - but were left stunned when they saw the final bill An Italian couple were left flabbergasted after their beach club experience in Ibiza cost more than their flights to the Spanish island. Federica and Giuseppe, who share their travel experiences on their My Trip to Naples (@ilmioviaggioanapoli) Instagram account, jetted off to the party hotspot in 2024 and booked sunbeds at a beach club. The pair enjoyed a day of sipping Champagne under the sun but were shocked when they discovered that their beach club experience at Cala Bassa Beach Club, located on Sant Josep beach, had racked up a bill of a staggering €400 (£344). It comes as an Ibiza holidaymaker shared a warning after staying at popular adults-only hotel. Their luxurious day out included a charge of €40 (£34) just for sun loungers, a hefty €160 (£137) spent on Champagne, and an additional €200 (£172) splashed out on food. Giuseppe expressed his disbelief, saying: "Something is wrong here, because I paid more to be here for a few hours than on the flight to visit the island." Their video, posted on TikTok, has since attracted more than 723,000 views and 10,000 likes. Social media users were quick to voice their opinions on the matter, with some vowing not to visit due to the exorbitant costs. One commenter wrote: "Exaggerated prices everywhere, travelling now is a luxury." Another chimed in: "Thanks now I know where NOT to go." A third added: "I had booked but left! Obscene! The sunbeds all without sun and to take a dip you have to step on 100 people!" Some, however, thought the couple were daft for choosing a luxury beach club in the first place, given their notorious expense.

Haunting last video shows Brazilian dancer, 26, smiling with her friend before plunging to her death in volcano crater in Indonesia
A Brazilian dancer who died after falling into an active volcano crater in Indonesia appeared smiling and joking with her friend in a final video captured just moments before her tragic death. Tourist Juliana Marins, 26, plunged more than 1,000ft from the ridge of Mount Rinjani on Saturday and was trapped there for almost four days. Ms Martins was alive after her fall but was unable to climb back up the treacherous slopes. Rescuers reached her yesterday, only to discover they had lost the race against time and that Ms Marins had died of her injuries and exposure. In a heartbreaking clip shared by her friend Federica, Ms Marins is shown smiling at the base camp of the volcano. The two young women are seen joking about the view, as it has been clouded over. 'The view is amazing, you can tell it was so worth it', Federica says sarcastically. Ms Marins jokingly responds: 'Yeah, we did it for the view, so I'm glad, amazing!'. The Brazilian national, who was a publicist and pole dancer in Rio de Janeiro, had been backpacking through Southeast Asia since February and had been documenting her trip on social media. Other videos of Ms Marins in the days leading up to her death show her riding on mopeds and sharing meals with friends during her travels. Friend Federica told Brazilian news outlet G1 that the pair met the day before their hike up the volcano. 'I met Juliana the day before the trip. We were both travelling alone. We made it all the way to the top. It was very difficult', Federica said. Shocking drone footage taken in the wake of the tumble showed an injured Ms Marins cowering in a rocky ravine, having rolled down the steep hill before coming to a stop. She was spotted by passing tourists after they heard her screams for help. She was trapped for almost four days, but after finally reaching her yesterday, rescuers said that 'no signs of life were found'. According to a spokesperson for East Lombok Police, the young woman was part of a hiking group and fell after she had taken a break due to tiredness. Ms Marins' family in Brazil confirmed her death in a tragic social media post. 'Today, the rescue team managed to reach the place where Juliana Marins was. 'With great sadness, we inform you that she did not survive. 'We remain very grateful for all the prayers, messages of affection and support that we have received.' Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency said it found Ms Marin's body beside a crater using a thermal drone after four days of intensive searches complicated by extremely harsh terrain and weather. The difficult conditions and limited visibility delayed the evacuation process, the head of the rescue team, Mohammad Syafii, said. He explained that emergency workers climbed carrying Ms Marins' body to Sembalun base camp but would have to wait until Wednesday for transport to a police hospital. A rescue team was dispatched to the scene after receiving an emergency call at 2.32pm local time on Saturday from horrified tourists. Six rescue teams worked in difficult weather conditions to try to reach her, with the support of two helicopters and equipment such as an industrial drill. On Sunday, Ms Marins was spotted with a search drone, but when the rescuers began descending the volcano on Monday she was no longer in the same position, suggesting she had tried to climb to safety but to no avail. Her body was eventually located by one of her rescue teams that managed to safely descend into the crater. Brazil's Foreign Ministry called her death a tragedy and said the country's embassy in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, has coordinated the rescue with local authorities. Ms Marins' ordeal has riveted her home country, with millions of Brazilians following the dramatic search-and-rescue efforts since news broke of her fall. Authorities did not say when exactly she died. Adding to the frenzy in Brazil over her ordeal, Brazil's embassy in Jakarta had accused the Indonesian government of fabricating Marins' rescue and misinforming her family that she had been located and given food and water just hours after her fall. There was no immediate response from the Indonesian government on that claim. In an Instagram post, Marins' family thanked the many Brazilians who had prayed for their daughter's safety.
