On June 20, 2025, the iconic shores of Ibiza, Spain, transformed once again into a global runway destination as Ibiza Swim Week returned for its second consecutive year, showcasing 16 luxury swimwear brands from around the world. Hosted at the prestigious Hotel Aguas de Ibiza in Santa Eulalia, the 2025 edition nearly doubled the number of participating designers from its inaugural year cementing the event’s place on the international swimwear calendar.
Drawing inspiration from the fashion capitals of Miami and New York, Ibiza Swim Week brought together a powerful mix of global talent and emerging labels, making the White Island a new epicenter for European resort and swimwear fashion.
This year’s show featured standout presentations from international brands which made it very interesting—Aventura Swimwear, Super Aloha (Hawaii), Cocora Shop (Colombia), House of McLees (UK), Origin of Oceans (USA), Ellas (Brazil), Mary Rose Resortwear (France), Sajara Lozano (Colombia), Top Knot Swim (Canada), Princess Rio (Brazil), Trigana (Colombia), and Evita Swim (USA). They were joined by Ibiza-based labels Entremares, Acuarela, La Isla, and exciting additions like Acqua di Coco, bringing the total to 16 presenting brands.

Ibiza Swim Week is the brainchild of designer and entrepreneur Nía Vásquez, who drew inspiration from her experiences at New York and Miami Swim Week.
“These international platforms are unmatched when it comes to celebrating quality craftsmanship and global exposure,” said Vásquez. “Bringing this energy to Ibiza was a dream and now, it’s a growing tradition.”
Following the runway, guests were invited to an elevated Sunset Soirée on the hotel’s rooftop. The celebration included:
–Signature cocktails, including the “Emilia Clarke” by Pegasus Vodka and handcrafted Ibizan-inspired drinks—Cocktails were made by Jon Ale and Ibizan Cocktails.
–Live music by model/DJ Aeon Fluxx, and a special performance by DJ Valentina and Nativo titled “IINN MODE”
–Gourmet tapas curated by the Aguas de Ibiza culinary team
-An art exhibition by Severine Solcourt, adding a cultural touch to the fashion celebration
