These Are The Must-Visit Designer Pop-ups In Ibiza Right Now
From Jacquemus at Casa Jondal to Dolce & Gabbana at Clap House, Ibiza's chicest designer takeovers offer limited‑edition capsules, poolside lounging and gourmet menus. Consider this your fashion cheat sheet to the White Isle this summer… Ibiza is awash with exclusive designer pop-ups this season, from Missoni to Burberry, Jacquemus to Dolce & Gabbana. While hospitality‑meets‑fashion activations are by no means new (recall the Prada Café, among many others), this summer the White Isle has embraced them with renewed zeal, capturing its signature fusion of rustic elegance and sun‑soaked glamour. Whether you plan to stretch out on a lounger in the late afternoon or sip cocktails into the small hours to a booming Balearic soundtrack, here are four essential pop-ups to bookmark for your next trip (complete with practical notes to help you make the most of each visit). Jacquemus x Casa Jondal Set on Ibiza's idyllic south coast, Casa Jondal sits in an endlessly photogenic, pine-fringed cove reached only by a dusty rural track (or by tender, should you be arriving via private boat). Once your toes are in the sand, you'll immediately spot Jacquemus' signature touches across the beach and dining areas: banana-yellow stripes, Parisian polka dots and chalky cream hues are delicately splashed across daybeds and parasols that run almost to the waterline. Order something icy and effervescent, settle in, then browse the seasonal Jacquemus shop (currently the brand's only dedicated outpost in Spain), where a limited-edition capsule has been created exclusively for Casa Jondal. Once you're done shopping, be sure to stay for lunch: Jondal's kitchen, overseen by chef Rafa Zafra, is famed for impeccably fresh seafood (including langoustine, oysters and anchovies), luxe crowd-pleasers such as Wagyu carpaccio and, naturally, lashings of the best caviar. If you're feeling extra energetic after lunch, take a turn on the branded pétanque court (a French game similar to boules) installed as an ode to lazy summer afternoons in Provence. Heaven! Need to know: Advance lunch reservations are essential in high season. Request beach seating over deck tables if you want sand underfoot. Tender drop-off is available but must be confirmed when booking. Summer opening is typically midday-to-7pm daily. The pétanque court is booked separately on arrival. Burberry x The Standard Ibiza Few pairings feel more playfully on point than Burberry's British heritage checks meeting the sun-bleached Balearics. The Standard Ibiza leans into the contrast with wit and colour, teaming up with the iconic house for a summer-long pop-up at the hotel's Ibiza Old Town residence. Your first hint appears in the lobby: a photo booth wrapped in a jubilant sunshine-yellow take on the house check that practically begs to be photographed. Next, ride the lift to UP, the hotel's rooftop playground, to see the full takeover in all its glory. Burberry logos and lemon-yellow stripes splash loungers, towels and umbrellas, while the rooftop pool carries an outsized logo emblazoned across its floor, visible from neighbouring terraces. Collaboration aside, UP has long been a magnet for Ibiza's cool crowd, working through the custom cocktail list while some of the island's best resident DJs provide the soundtrack. Drop by in daylight for a different mood. From The Standard's outlook, you can gaze across the terracotta rooftops of Ibiza Old Town to the harbour's sparkling blue water and, with luck, you'll spot Check Mate, Burberry's branded historic sailboat: a floating wink to the collaboration. Need to know: Rooftop access is capacity-controlled, so book well ahead for a sunset spot via the website. Non-guests can usually reserve tables for drinks; limited walk-ups are also accepted. UP is open daily 10am-1am. The ground-floor lobby photo booth is open to all. Limited pieces in the specialist yellow Burberry check will be available to shop (we've got our eye on the tote). Missoni Resort Club x OKU Ibiza Loved for its laid-back polish, OKU Ibiza now hosts Missoni's first-ever Resort Club pop-up, billed as a meeting of Italian colour play and island ease. Around the lavish 50-metre pool, custom Missoni textiles drape sunbeds, towels and scatter cushions in a soft-focus palette of deep blue, sea-glass turquoise and emerald green, making the effect glamorous and serene in equal measure. The design is inspired by the surrounding landscape and filtered through the maison's iconic zigzag codes – resist the urge to smuggle a cushion home! Complementing the pool area, a dedicated Missoni boutique, developed with Ibiza Gallery, brings ready-to-wear, kaftans, beach accessories, home accents and curated art under one roof, so your poolside look can segue straight to glamorous nightime attire. Need to know: Hotel guests have priority at the pool, so outside visitors should enquire about day access (10am-6pm). Aim for late afternoon to catch golden light, then stay for early-evening DJ sets and dancing. The shop carries Ibiza-only edits from Missoni, but stock is limited, so go early if you have your heart set on something. Dolce & Gabbana x Clap House Ibiza Clap House lands on the island in full force, opening its debut season with a gloriously glam collaboration with Italian design powerhouse Dolce & Gabbana. Billed as 'elegant but fierce', the Clap House Pool Club wears the brand's exuberant leopard (Leo) print everywhere: cushions, placemats, pool rings, striped sun mattresses, even the odd cabana curtain. Nothing escapes the makeover, and the result is pure holiday excess. Imagine: a gold-covered Palermo palazzo meets a vibey Balearic pool day. Between dips and sips, retreat to the on-site Seven Wellness Club (originally born in Dubai) for yoga, pilates or a wellness treatment before drifting back to the pool in silk cover-ups and an oversized sunhat. You could easily settle in for the day. If nightlife is more your stride, book Clap House for an extravagant dinner – the perfect prelude to one of Ibiza's iconic superclubs. The kitchen leans into Japanese-Mediterranean fusion, specialising in precise sushi rolls, bright crudo and smoky robata from an open kitchen that invites a front-row view of the chefs at work. Need to know: Book ahead for both pool beds and dinner. Daytime is family-friendly, but evenings skew adult with DJ sets and a party mood. Spa and class slots at Seven Wellness fill quickly, so reserve treatments when you book beds. The signature D&G leopard print glows at golden hour – get your camera out. Ibiza's fashion takeovers are fleeting (many wrap by late September), so it's never too early to lock in lunches, loungers and spa slots. And don't forget to leave a little budget for the limited capsules: once they're gone, they're gone. Burberry at sunset, Missoni by the OKU pool, leopard print at Clap House, seafood in Jacquemus stripes… is Ibiza calling? Absolutely. For a full guide to Ibiza in 2025, read

The Power Of Pop-Ups: Why Small Businesses Should Set Up Shop
Sabine Leveiller is the Marketing Vice President, of Europe at VistaPrint. She has over 20 years of experience in marketing strategy. The small-business landscape has been tough in recent years, and many are looking for ways to take the next step and grow their businesses. Pop-ups, whether at local festivals, weekend markets or seasonal shopping activations, have become a vital tool for growth, experimentation and driving brand awareness. For small businesses, they offer an unmatched opportunity to test ideas, showcase personality and build meaningful relationships, all without the commitment or cost of a permanent retail space. With over £2 billion expected to be generated by pop-ups in the U.K. economy, and even governments getting in on the action, it's clear we're witnessing more than a trend—we're seeing a shift in how small businesses engage with the public. The stage is set for entrepreneurs to step into the spotlight and make direct, personal connections with customers in ways that digital platforms can't replicate. Pop-ups have often led to bigger things for brands. For example, in 2020, Glossier's pop-up shop in Covent Garden, London, was so popular, they extended the lease, and the company has since installed pop-ups in Paris and U.S. locations. This doesn't just have to be a brand taking an expensive retail space; this could be in the form of securing a regular spot at a market or taking on a bigger stand. Taking the leap is the first step. Real-World Impact And First-Person Sensory Experiences We live in a hyper-digital world. Online marketing, e-commerce and social media are vital channels, but they can't replace the power of face-to-face interaction. Meeting your customers in person, allowing them to experience your product or service firsthand and engaging in real conversation creates trust and memorability that no screen can match. There's a reason people remember the little handmade soap brand they discovered at a street fair or the food truck with the best conversation alongside the best coffee. It's the experience. Pop-ups allow small businesses to not only tell their story but to become a part of someone else's. The Value In Showing Up The beauty of a pop-up lies in its flexibility. It's a space to experiment, try out a new product line or learn what resonates and gather direct feedback in real time. It's also a chance to test new audiences, perhaps in a different neighborhood, town or context. But with opportunity comes the need for preparation. How a business presents itself can make all the difference. A well-thought-out setup that includes clear signage, cohesive branding and simple but striking displays can help companies stand out in busy environments. Even something as traditional as a business card still has its place. In the flurry of conversations and interactions, a tangible takeaway offers a simple, lasting reminder of who you are, how to shop and how to stay in touch. With recent advancements in technology, there are also more and more ways to convert those in-person conversations to help build your online community. For example, QR codes are a great way of moving those conversations online and growing your following and customer base. A New Avenue Of Opportunity With a renewed appetite for local events, discovery and real-world experiences, consumers are actively seeking out unique businesses they can connect with. With shopping malls struggling and more pop-up locations becoming available through government schemes, customers are more engaged than ever to connect with small businesses and try out new things. During my career at VistaPrint, I've seen countless businesses, some just starting, find their feet and grow their following simply by showing up. Pop-ups don't just bring in revenue—they build identity, customer confidence and connections. As someone who works with small-business owners daily, I know how much effort goes into preparing for these moments. From product displays to printed materials, every detail counts. If you're on the fence about participating in a market or hosting your own event, take this as encouragement: Do it. The connections you build may well shape the future of your business. After all, when small businesses step into the real world, big things happen.
