Decathlon Ibiza clients’ special offer for summer 2023 by Meet the Sea in selected experiences.
A bit of history:
The store’s arrival to Ibiza in 2012 was a true shift in paradigm for the island’s sports lovers. A huge surface entirely devoted to sports and, crucially, at great prices. The underlying philosophy of the store is one that we couldn’t agree with more: to make sports available to everyone at an affordable price.
Meet the Sea offer entertainment and education at sea. We do so with snorkelling at the centre of our boat activities and the taste of sports and adventure as our hallmark. We share with decathlon the love of sport and that is why we signed a cooperation agreement in November 2020.
Our masks, snorkels, paddle boards, body boards and clothing come from Decathlon. We consider them to be great value given their performance at sea. Perhaps one day Decathlon will see fit to further support Meet the Sea given our values of education, family, sustainability and ecotourism. One can only hope!
Why the discount?
Because if you love Decathlon, you will probably love us.
We have received enthusiastic reviews representing about 2,000 passengers last summer 2023. They are children and adults who love the sea, were thrilled to snorkel and enjoy 4hours of adventure.
Reviews outlined the same repeatedly: “great family memory”, “perfect combination of education and entertainment”, “loved the interaction with animals”. Come see for yourself and let us entice you with a discount for those who enjoy visiting the sports store in Ibiza.
Cafe del Mar clients’ special offer for summer 2023 by Meet the Sea in selected experiences.
A bit of history:
The café was founded in 1980, right on the promenade that faces the island of Sa Conillera(or Conejera). At the time nothing could make you suspect what the promenade would become.
A different kind of beat started to sound at sunset time, towards 1988 the first time we heard it. People would look at one another and wonder what sound was playing that made the sunset magic. And then they would get up, talk to the DJ and walk away with cassette tapes recorded there. The rest is history as chill out or sunset sessions began to add another dimension to our lives.
Ibiza music history cannot be understood without San Antonio’s club and bar names that sprung in the 60’s. But Café del mar was the brand that made that portion of coast known around the world.
Why the discount?
Café del Mar was the place where Meet the Sea founders liked to spend time in the summers of the 80’s and 90’s. Today the bay of San Antonio is where our boats offer unforgettable daily sea experiences. And every time we sail by Café del Mar we smile to ourselves and remember the magic of the place.
Memories are not all we share with Café del mar. We also share values: discovery, adventure and sea. Those three ingredients are part of of all our experiences. That is why we want to invite like-minded clients to enjoy our understanding of Ibiza beauty. And to do so with a small discount to help you take the step!
Pacha Ibiza clients’ special offer for summer 2023 by Meet the Sea in selected experiences.
A bit of history
Pacha Ibiza was founded in 1973, and the sleepy island was no more. The risky bet of genius entrepreneur Ricardo Urgell confused a few locals back then: it was too far from town. You have to picture an old farmhouse in the fields…in what is now a club surrounded by residential buildings.
The stories are true: two policeman wanted to shut the club in the 70’s because there was not enough light to read the newspaper. Later that decade it was equally threatened because two men had been seen dancing together. Spain was coming out of the dark ages and Pacha was leading the change.
The 80’s are the decade of our founder’s youth. And what a decade it was! Thank you for the fun, the music and the beautiful people with whom we laughed.
The club we admire led social change and brought joy through music. Ibiza is tolerance, extravagance and freedom thanks to the legendary club.
Why the Pacha Ibiza offer
We share the spirit of Pacha and of his founder as we spent some of the best nights of our lives there in the 80’s. We think that Meet the Sea’s philosophy is largely influenced by Ibiza and Pacha.
The combination of sea and nightlife is the backbone of your Ibiza experience and we want to suggest our sea adventures. We have enjoyed the sea of Ibiza for decades and want to share what we feel with you.
Marble Stella Maris clients’ special offer for summer 2023 by Meet the Sea in selected experiences.
A bit of history
A hotel in Cap Negret near Sant Antoni that was built in the 1970’s. A romantic choice for us as our founder’s birthplace was only a few meters away. A small town in itself, the architecture of the hotel deserves praise with its timeless charm. The arches that decorate many of the bungalows are reminiscent of those that preside traditional ibicenco farmhouses. The narrow winding paths, the mediterranean gardens and the use of wooden beams are a great example of simple design made timeless.
The hotel is near the small bay of Cala Gració and tiny Cala Gracioneta. They are two secluded, quiet and fun spots to visit in the glorious bay of Sant Antoni. The bay offers visitors a great opportunity to snorkel and enjoy underwater beauty. Why not let us show you a great boat adventure at sea with us? Terrific fun, entertainment, adventure and yes, a bit of marine education!
Why the discount for Marble Stella maris?
We are very fond of the clientele from this hotel that has blessed with their presence since we started our boat trips in 2020. They have truly shown a great spirit : curious, adventuresome, eager to enjoy the sea and courageous.
Obviously we have great memories of Cap Negret, a place with incredible sunsets. We also cherish the countless days of snorkelling as a child in Cala Gracio. All these circumstances combined have resulted in the Stella maris having a special place in our hearts!
Come enjoy a great boat adventure with us and let us entice you with a small discount!
