Barcelona: Our First Impression

4th November 2025

A Glimpse into Barcelona — The city where sun, sea, and non-stop energy collide. Picture golden beaches backed by buzzing beach bars, stunning architecture around every corner, and sunsets that fade into nights you’ll never forget. Days in Barcelona are for exploring Gaudí’s masterpieces, sipping sangria by the sea, and soaking up the Mediterranean vibes. When the sun goes down, the city turns up — rooftop parties, boat parties, and world-famous nightlife that goes well past sunrise. Add in the unreal events and line ups happening all summer long, and you’ve got a destination built for good times and wild memories.

To get a taste of what’s coming, we brought a group of our creators to Barcelona to see how hard this city really parties. Here’s how it went down:

Day 1

Our creators touched down in sunny Barcelona, and from the moment they landed, the buzz was unreal. After grabbing Ubers from the airport, everyone checked in at the Moxy Hotel Barcelona — the perfect base for a few days of chaos. A quick refresh later, and it was time to kick things off.

We headed straight to Icebar Barcelona, where the pres began —  the beach just steps away, and the vibes already sky-high. Spirits were high as we geared up for the first big event of the trip: the Barcelona Boat Party (included in our Ultimate Events Package 2026)

Unlimited drinks, DJs spinning all evening, and those iconic Barcelona sunset views made it an unforgettable start. As we cruised along the coastline, the music, energy, and scenery set the tone for the days ahead.

After docking, it was back to the hotel to grab some food and freshen up before round two. We kicked off the night at Mood Bar on Calle de la Marina — think cocktails, neon lights, and the perfect warm-up spot — before looping back to Icebar for one last round. The night wrapped up at Carpe Diem, where deep house beats and beachside vibes carried us late into the night.

If Day 1 was anything to go by, Barcelona was about to deliver one wild weekend.

Day 2

After the madness of the first night, Day 2 started off slow — exactly how it needed to. The morning was dedicated to recovery: McDonald’s, bed rotting, and a healthy dose of doing absolutely nothing. Everyone was in full recharge mode before the next round of chaos.

By the afternoon, energy levels started creeping back up. We headed to the Bonavista Rooftop on top of the Moxy Hotel for some drinks, snacks, and sun. The views over the city were unreal, and as golden hour hit, we grabbed some time to film interviews and catch the sunset — a rare calm moment before the night kicked off again.

As evening rolled in, we made our way to Seasea Beach Club for their Afro Brunch event. Good music, good vibes, and a beachside backdrop made it the perfect way to ease back into the night.

After a few hours there, it was back to get ready before heading to The Room for pres. A few rounds later, we hit KU Club, where the energy picked up fast and the night carried on until the early hours.

Day 3

Our final day in Barcelona started with a bit of sightseeing — the calm before the final storm. We explored the Gothic Quarter, visited the stunning Barcelona Cathedral, and stopped by Casa Batlló, one of Gaudí’s most famous masterpieces. A quick stroll down La Rambla and a bite to eat later, it was time to head back and get ready for one last big day in the sun.

The afternoon kicked off at a rooftop bar, where sangria was flowing and the energy was high. A few rounds in, the music turned up and an impromptu salsa session took over the terrace as we danced our way into the sunset — a perfect mix of chaos and charm that sums up Barcelona.

As the evening rolled in, we headed to Nu Barcelona for our farewell meal. Steaks, plenty of wine, and a few emotional toasts made it the ideal way to wrap up an incredible few days.

But we weren’t finished yet. The final night out started at Red Garter Karaoke Bar, where sangria towers and some truly unforgettable karaoke performances set the tone. From there, we hit The Room and Mood Bar before ending the night — and the trip — at Opium Club, dancing to R&B beats by the sea until the lights came on.

A perfect ending to an unforgettable Barcelona takeover.
