Tamer Malki and Rami Abousabe, known as Bedouin, have been crafting their distinct music style since they came together in 2012. Their hypnotic and spiritual rhythms captivate audiences and evoke the vibe of festivals like Burning Man, where they have performed on various occasions. Saga was born to pay homage to their Middle Eastern roots (Tamer is from Jordan and Rami from Egypt). It’s a psychedelic and mesmerizing experience they have taken around the world.

Party tips aside, every day is an adventure here, and enjoying the sunsets in Ibiza is a daily ritual for holidaymakers.
Sunset Ashram
On the western coastline near San Antonio town lies Cala Comte, a picture-perfect beach. Take a dip in the turquoise Mediterranean waters and let the white sand get between your toes. It is also an excellent spot for snorkeling and sunsets. Grab a bite at Sunset Ashram, a bohemian restaurant with a mix of Japanese, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisine located in a beautiful cove that provides a special sunset session by Balearic DJs. We recommend you book ahead if you want a table or hammock to enjoy the day out!
Another magical place on the outskirts of the San Antonio village to watch the sunset is Hostal La Torre, located in Cap Negret. It hosts daily “Sunsets with music” to celebrate Balearic beats and chill-out from 5 pm, courtesy of some of the island’s best resident DJs. La Torre is a boutique hostel that offers accommodation, Mediterranean food, and delicious cocktails. It is an ideal location as the horizon meets the sea just in front of its chic terrace, and the sun sets right in the middle during the summer.
