Ibiza’s First Total Solar Eclipse Since 1905 Inspires Exclus

Pukka Up presents ECLIPSE: The Day the Sun Sets Twice on Wednesday 12th August 2026, taking 200 guests out across Ibiza’s western waters to witness the island’s first total solar eclipse since 1905. Departing San Antonio at 6pm and heading towards Es Vedrà, the three-hour voyage will combine uninterrupted Mediterranean views with DJs, music, and the truly awe-inspiring experience of a total eclipse. Tickets are priced at €65 per person and are available here www.pukkaup.com. At 8.33 pm, with the sun sitting just three degrees above the western horizon, the moon’s orbit will slowly take it across the same path, until the sun is completely covered, placing Ibiza into darkness for around one minute. Those watching will witness the spectacular diamond ring effect as the first chink of daylight returns, before both celestial bodies pass each other and the sun continues towards another unrivalled Ibiza sunset. For the first time in 121 years, this will be ‘the day the sun sets twice’ in Ibiza. The eclipse will last for nearly one and a quarter hours, but the totality – when the sun is completely covered – will only last for one minute and five seconds. During totality, the music will stop, and guests can experience the wonder of this once-in-a-lifetime celestial spectacle. As the moon passes, the music returns, and the celebration of this moment resumes with a party that will remain in the memory of the ECLIPSE guests forever.

The voyage takes inspiration from an earlier spirit of Ibiza, when travellers came to the island in search of freedom, always open to music and dancing, yet drawn by a spiritual connection to the island. ECLIPSE carries that feeling into the present through a collective journey across the Balearic Sea, soundtracked by a carefully selected line-up of quality DJs. No one does boat parties like Pukka Up, and while the eclipse remains the central focus, the atmosphere is guaranteed to be euphoric and full of positivity. The ECLIPSE boat will take guests away from the island’s crowded coastline, out to the open sea to experience Ibiza from a different perspective and celebrate a moment that will not return to the island within our lifetime. With capacity strictly limited to 200 people, ECLIPSE offers an unmissable opportunity. One boat, one date, and one minute Ibiza will never forget. Pukka Up Instagram – TikTok – Facebook
