The Zoo Project Ibiza 2026: Benimussa Park
The Zoo Project is Ibiza's costumed daytime party, a festival style party in the open air with animal fancy dress and a music first crowd. Here is what to expect in 2026.
The Zoo Project is one of Ibiza's most distinctive parties. It is a costumed daytime event with a festival feel, famous for animal fancy dress, open-air stages and performers scattered through the grounds. It has long been associated with Benimussa Park, a former zoo in the hills near San Antonio. Here is what to expect in 2026.
What The Zoo Project is
The Zoo Project mixes a multi stage open-air party with theatrical fancy dress and a music first crowd. The animal costume theme is part of the fun, and the festival layout, with different areas and sounds across the grounds, sets it apart from a single room club night. The vibe is playful and energetic rather than glossy and VIP.
Where it is held
The party is historically held at Benimussa Park, a former zoo set in the hills near San Antonio, with several distinct areas spread across the site. The home of the party has shifted between seasons in the past, so always confirm the current venue on the official channels before you book.
2026 dates and tickets
The Zoo Project runs as a daytime party across the summer season. Because the venue and exact dates can change from year to year, check the official calendar for the confirmed dates and book tickets online in advance, since the costumed crowd makes popular dates busy.
What to expect on the day
Come in costume to get into the spirit, wear comfortable footwear for an outdoor site, and bring sun protection because it runs through the day. Plan your transport, as the hillside location is away from the main resort strips. Treat it as a festival day rather than a quick club visit.
Balance it with a day on the water
A high energy costume party pairs well with a calmer day after. A shared Ibiza boat party or a relaxed cruise keeps the trip varied. See how the day works in our Ibiza boat party guide.
