A drug supplier has agreed to
meet me on the outskirts of town.

This is not a part of Ibiza
that I've seen before.

I feel a bit nervous.

It's kind of risky meeting
someone like this,

in this way.

This is not my
00:01:03,960
How easy is it to access
drugs on this island?

Oh, very easy. Mm-hm.

It's like an open secret.

Everybody knows it,
but no-one talks about it.

00:01:36,280
and to some wealthy people?

Yeah, of course.

Wealthy people,
they buy larger quantity,

or they have a mansion
or they have a villa,

so they're known to the dealers.

00:02:06,000
Can you give me an idea
about the kind of money

that a street dealer could make
in one summer season here?

Well, one summer season, it depends.

But weekly, I know people
who make about 50K or so,

00:02:46,240
Ibiza is elevating.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Welcome to Ibiza!

No longer just a party island,

but a playground for celebrities
and the super-rich...

Cheese!

00:03:14,400
The police have found something
called pink cocaine.

CAR ENGINE REVS

..to the hilltop villas...

..where insiders know
the island's secrets...

This drug business
comes with violence.

00:04:02,160
August - peak season in Ibiza.

More than 400,000 people
will arrive this month...

..joining the island in full swing.

It's like being at one
of the biggest parties in the world.

00:04:51,480
So where abouts are we headed to?

Well, now it's time
for the West End.

Obviously, it's the area
where probably most people gather

during the night.

Basically,
our first job is just to be there.

00:05:34,520
Are you listening to me? Sit down.

I'm just asking, can we take...
Sit down.

We will in a minute, we will in a
minute. Now sit down, all right?

00:05:52,440
You've took a few drugs.

Step this way with me.
Yeah, that's fine.

Right, stay there, don't move.
I'm not going to move.

Don't worry about that.

00:06:15,200
Yeah, that's fine.
All right? Yeah, right.

That's fine, that's fine, I'll go.

Well, be careful, don't take
too much. Yeah, no worries.

All right, goodnight.

One of the guys had
00:06:40,840
Taking drugs is not
a criminal offence here,

so tourists carrying small amounts
for personal use

are cautioned or fined.

Anything above this is
classed as dealing.

00:07:05,720
Yeah, he's already found some
in this doorway.

So what have you found?

Do you want to stick your hands out?

See that bag's full of
small bags of weed. Yeah.

See, that's another small bag...
00:07:38,040
The pills, that's where everything
gets a bit worrying for us,

because people don't know exactly
how much quantity of MDMA

is in every pill. Mm-hm. One could
have like, maybe 80mg of MDMA,

00:08:05,160
But what I found the most
fascinating is,

we're standing in the
middle of the street,

taking all these drugs
out of this zip lock bag,

and that is just a normal sight
in the West End.

00:08:39,560
Everything is more
expensive in high season.

Marinas are charging 3,000 a night
to park a yacht,

and rents across the island
are at their peak.

00:09:12,720
Oh, good boy.

This year, she's working
around the fringes

of the island's VIP economy
to fund her season.

Living out here,
most people do multiple things.

Obviously I do, like,
00:09:57,560
Today, Barley's got a
modelling gig with Martin.

He works as a DJ
and a club promoter

with a side hustle
as a photographer.

Today, we're going to do some quite
00:10:40,160
Come on, girls, work it!

If I'm honest, I would say
it lacked a bit of emotion.

Barley's friend Layla
is trying to make her living

developing a sports brand
with an Ibizan touch.

00:11:13,800
If you get a little bit closer
to each other. That's perfect.

Right, and then let's just...

And at some point,
I want you girls to cheers.

Yeah, perfect. Thank you.

See you later, darling.
00:11:38,120
"Gorgeous views."

Let everyone think
I'm living the high life.

Keep everyone up to date.

00:12:02,120
..film reel for Izakaya,
and I was looking, I'm like,

"It's all gorgeous people."

And you can really see in these
high-class places,

they want good-looking people.

And it's almost more important
00:12:24,600
People want to be trained by someone
attractive. It's changed a lot.

It's quite sad, though. Like, rent
and deposits are extortionate.

Like, people that are
00:12:58,800
Tonight, David Guetta will
play to over 8,000 people

up the road at superclub
Hi Ibiza.

He's said to be able to earn
a million dollars a night

for a private party.

Ibiza's nightlife contributes
00:13:40,400
I don't even know
if they exist any more.

This all used to be
lower-end tourism.

I hate to say that,
but that's what it was,

and now it's high-end tourism.

00:14:06,640
this summer, then?

There's always been an A-list
celebrity side to the island. Yeah.

I mean, if you look at the old
photos of Pacha,

you'd have Freddie Mercury
and Grace Jones,

00:14:38,200
Has that always been apparent,
even when you first arrived here,

or is it something
that's changed or evolved?

Club culture's certainly
built around drug taking.

It's always been here, but if
00:15:02,960
The government do
what they can to prevent it,

but the reality of it is,
if they did,

if they got rid of the drugs here,
they'd also get rid of the tourism.

Mm.

Has the kinds of drugs
00:15:37,800
It'll be a full house tonight
with 3,000 people here.

A VIP table is practically cheap,
at 250 euros a person,

though a bottle of water
will still set you back ten euros.

The big superclubs,

00:16:08,000
it's surely a good thing.

It's very tiring, it's hard.

It's amazing, but, like, it's a
massive amount of energy expulsion

on a daily basis,
on a nightly basis.

Keeping people entertained
00:16:42,720
I'm sure our listeners
can understand "hola", surely.

HE LAUGHS

As the night rolls on, afterparties
are getting started on yachts

and in villas behind closed doors.

This is where Ibiza's elites - the
00:17:31,880
She works in, like,
media and entertainment.

And, yeah, she just reached out
and just said like,

she's been seeing what I've been up
to, she likes what I do,

00:17:56,120
let's dance, let's sing, and...

..let's end up in bed together.

about an eight or a nine

in four beers' time

00:18:30,160
the closed world of the wealthy,

where he can make the right
connections to boost his career.

So all this time that you spend
interviewing other people,

I think it's time that you get
00:18:54,480
THEY LAUGH

You're gassing me up, you're
gassing me up. I can't take it!

It looks like we're being dragged in
to go and enjoy some of the party.

Yep, we're being summoned, we have
00:19:23,480
that anything is possible.

On a Saturday...

Everyone in Ibiza, when they're
here, they lose their heads.

00:19:50,880

checking...

Hey. I'm with Faris
from Party Hard Travel Ibiza.

00:20:17,600
So it helps, because not only does
she want to do what I'm doing,

and it's all "networking"
for professional purposes,

but we're bouncing off each other.

She's pretty, we're having drinks,
00:20:37,960
HE LAUGHS

Big up to Ibiza, baby.

It's mid-August and there are now
half a million people on the island.

Hi, Zara? How are you?
Lovely to see you.

San Josep police patrol
00:21:28,000
We know that in this moment
there are 30,000 people

just in Playa d'en Bossa,

and it's difficult,
it's really difficult.

So two-thirds of all the calls
that come to the police

00:21:55,480
tagging that I'm in Ibiza,

and straight away, Instagram
messages from drug dealers saying,

"Do you want any...
Do you want anything?"

I mean, it's crazy
how they're looking,

"Who's landing in Ibiza?
00:22:24,880
who are interested in
don't find the police.

Interesting.
So you're in this group,

and they're trying
to avoid the police.

Yeah, sometimes...
Incredible! Yeah, yeah.

00:22:57,280
This is another way
to have information.

It's really, really clever.
Really, really clever.

As thousands flock to Playa d'en
Bossa from all over the island,

00:24:38,480
It looks like there are six women,
all of them Brits,

and a driver they've hired.

Drugs are often moved
using tourists as cover.

The police find a designer handbag
00:25:45,080
still nobody wants to admit
that the bag is theirs.

Eventually,
one of the girls comes forward.

I've seen police spend so much time
dealing with casual drug users...

..but there seems to be no time left
00:27:35,520
00:27:44,680
And we were like, "We've got to go."

Another day in Ibiza.

People who are working here, people
who are, like, doing a season,

00:28:16,280
Everyone else is literally, like,
at the party,

and they're like, "Where are you,
bro? Where are you?"

And I'm just like,
"Mate, I'm just chilling in bed."

And then that's when
00:28:30,080
Cos Ibiza, the parties are so good,
anything can happen at any time.

Anyone can just rock up,
so you're like always thinking,

"Fuck, I don't want
to miss a good one."

00:28:48,640
So the risks were massive,

especially coming from
an Asian background,

00:29:08,280
I'm now at the stage
where I don't really care.

I've never really cared.

I'd rather be happier doing me

than living another
person's expectation

of the version of my life they want.

And Ibiza attracts
00:29:45,200
go get a massage, a haircut,

and I'm just going to go buy some
health products

from this vitamin shop.

I really want to eat
00:30:13,280
"What the fuck am I doing, man?

"Have I even looked after
my health this week?"

I've had the shittest days,
we all have.

And the sad thing is, no-one wants
00:30:29,280
OK, I'll get this one, then.

This one, porfa.

So you can try and be healthy,
00:31:18,560
Tonight, the top five superclubs
are hosting over 25,000 people.

I'm joining the island's ambulance
service for the night shift,

to see the 24-hour party
through their eyes.

Thank you.

00:34:06,160
SIREN WAILS

When you come to Ibiza,

people are so willing to take risks.

You know, you do see the fun side,
you see the easy-going life,

but it does come
with its consequences.

00:35:38,960
small problems can
become big problems in an instant,

especially when, you know,
people have been drinking for days,

taking drugs for days.

They can lose themselves
00:36:01,520
"at an Ibiza nightclub
in the early hours of this morning.

"The 19-year-old was rushed to
hospital from the Amnesia club.

"He was said to have
00:36:11,520
"less than an hour later.

"A police spokesperson confirmed
the question of whether

"the dead teenager had been drinking
or consumed drugs before

"he collapsed would be investigated
00:36:49,560
This island does have a reputation
for being a party island, yes,

but also housing a lot of drugs.

What I find absolutely mind-blowing

is the fact that since
I've been here on this island,

00:37:33,680
I can see that the combination
of drugs, clubs, money

and millions of tourists
make this tiny island unique.

Last year, police seized record
quantities of drugs in Ibiza

but it's still not clear
00:38:12,080
So you can't just
walk into a villa?

Exactly. It's very difficult for us,
entering inside a house.

It's one of the most protected
things by the Spanish law,

by the constitution.

00:38:52,600
that I'm not going to exit
from this house.

I have my gun but this is not
the... Wow.

..the solution for everything.

00:39:18,360
Do you think
if you die inside this house,

someone is going to call to say,
"This person is dead here"?

If this happens inside a house,

00:39:56,560
about a raid on a
luxury car rental business.

She's getting ready
to file her story.

We had, like, three raids lately.

They discovered a lot of drugs

and also a lot of money.

00:41:01,200
Now there is people in Ibiza with
more money, this is for sure.

And if you go around here
during the summer,

you can see a lot of people
using these cars.

Here in Ibiza,
00:41:35,640
There are a lot of people
from different parts of the world

who play in this drug business.

So, of course, if you have
this number of potential clients,

you have to fight your position
00:42:21,120
They target the
international suppliers

that flood Ibiza with drugs.

SHOUTING IN SPANISH

Out here,
it's like temptation island.
