Velvet Ibiza 2026

Velvet IBIZA is Europe’s largest queer festival, welcoming women from around the world since 2015. The Festival is all-inclusive, and only hotel guests are allowed to attend. The 2026 edition is being held at The Palm Star Ibiza from May 21st to May 26th, 2026.

What makes it special?

What could be better than a women-only festival? Experience pool parties, speed dating, yoga, hippie markets, poolside massages, beach volleyball, themed parties, and much more. There’s ample opportunity to socialize, meet other women, and explore the island. The events for 2026 haven't been announced yet, but you can expect a similar lineup to previous years.

The founder, Carine De Mesmaeker, is committed to inclusivity and diversity. The festival strives to create a welcoming and accepting environment for all attendees, regardless of their race, gender identity, or sexual orientation. This commitment to diversity has helped make Velvet Ibiza one of the most popular lesbian events in Europe. If you want to experience the best lesbian party festival, get your tickets as soon as possible, as this event usually sells out quickly. The ticket sale begins on the 1st of July 2026. 

Why go to Ibiza?

Known for having the reputation of the best party place in Europe, it's never a bad idea to go to Ibiza. Another amazing aspect about visiting Ibiza is how gorgeous and rich in history it is. You can choose to add to your ticket an excursion where you can look around the beautiful Old Town or have a lovely Land and Sea Tour, which is a hike and a boat trip. Ibiza has it all and is worth a visit. 

Accomodation 

Accommodation is not included in your festival ticket, so you will need to find a hotel to stay in. Here is a list of gay-friendly hotels in Ibiza.
