Destination Defender opens its doors on Ibiza from 12‑29 September, inviting enthusiasts of the original British adventure brand to immerse themselves in the world of Defender. 

Like the best music, Defender encourages clients to lose themselves in new experiences and to take the road less travelled, making Ibiza – the undisputed epicentre of club life – the perfect backdrop, with its wild landscapes and a lively atmosphere day and night. 

This unmistakable combination is reflected by the exclusive new Defender Eivissa Edition, which is available in two curations – Noontide and Sunrise – inspired by the colors of the island at different times of day.

Defender and boundless adventure go hand in hand. The British brand combines an unmistakable silhouette – which can trace its roots back to the original 1948 Land Rover – with state‑of‑the‑art technologies and unstoppable capability. 

Ibiza, an island known for its vibrant nightlife and deep connection to nature, reflects the many facets of Defender. From clubbing and outdoor adventures to mindfulness and wellbeing, Destination Defender on Ibiza offers the perfect setting to enjoy both aspects of this unique world.

Guests will discover culinary experiences shaped around the local cuisine, after‑dinner mixology by Mario Hofferer, Double Cocktail World champion & multiple awarded mixologist Compagnia dei Caraibi or pool sessions with live music. A unique hike‑and‑clean activity will see guests explore the rugged coastline on a mission to preserve the scenic trails for other visitors by collecting litter – all accompanied by an electronic soundtrack specially curated by Ibiza‑born DJ, Jaime Fiorito.

Exclusive editions 

Defender proudly presents the Defender Eivissa Limited Edition, a tribute to the iconic island of Ibiza, available in two exclusive curations: Sunrise and Noontide. The name “Eivissa,” derived from the Catalan language, reflects the authentic spirit of Ibiza and its rich cultural heritage. Limited to only six units worldwide—three dedicated to the vibrant Sunrise and three to the warm Noontide—this edition captures the soul of Ibiza, embodying its distinctive lifestyle and unique atmosphere. The vehicles will be available exclusively at Defender House, with two units on display at Destination Defender in Ibiza.

These limited editions are more than just vehicles; they are a celebration of the island’s rich history and cultural significance. The connection between Ibiza and the number six dates back to ancient times when the Phoenicians established a colony on the island and named it "Iboshim" after their god Bes, associated with protection, fertility, and household well‑being. In Phoenician numerical symbolism, the number six was linked to Bes, creating a timeless bond between the island and this symbolic number.

Finished in bright blue and warm yellow, the Defender Eivissa Limited Edition pays homage to the vibrant contrasts of Ibiza’s day and night, capturing the essence of adventure, freedom, and exploration that defines Defender. A truly rare find, this limited edition offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history that celebrates both the past and the spirit of modern‑day Ibiza.

In addition to the new Eivissa limited edition, Defender OCTA will also be presented as part of the activities. With its V8 Twin Turbo mild hybrid petrol engine, it offers outstanding performance and capability. OCTA embodies strength and luxury in its purest form and is the most powerful and capable Defender ever built.

Cuisine, nature and music in harmony

Defender House will be a celebration of music, with artists such as Sven Väth and Indira Paganotto performing at the opening and closing parties, and daily pool sessions with live music. Mix workshops offer guests the opportunity to learn the basics of music themselves as visitors immerse themselves in the Ibiza experience.

Defender House Ibiza offers exceptional culinary experiences that perfectly match Defender's philosophy and heritage. The renowned two‑star chef Paco Roncero and Haya Molcho invite guests to a ‘Food Nourishment Class’ that emphasizes high‑quality raw materials and sustainability while a cooking class dedicated to Spanish cuisine will focus on traditional paella and tapas dishes. An exclusive barbecue with the Big Green Egg Grill will offer fine meats and vegetables prepared by top chefs.

After dinner, guests can enjoy a mixology with Mario Hofferer and Compagnia dei Caraibi, accompanied by a fragrance experience by Anomalia Paris. An exclusive Wally Yacht trip with the Ferretti Group offers the opportunity to experience Ibiza from a unique perspective, while a wellness program with a yoga instructor ensures physical and mental relaxation.

Destination Defender on Ibiza is a place where innovation, luxury and nature come together in perfect harmony. Unforgettable moments await visitors, who can be inspired by the magic of Ibiza and immerse themselves in the world of Defender.
