A DJ set in Cala Vadella sparks controversy and triggers an investigation following the dissemination of videos

Videos posted on networks show dj Claudia Narducci performing a set on a cliff in Ibiza during October. The Sant Josep Town Hall claims it had no knowledge of the act and is now reviewing whether it was carried out without authorization in a particularly sensitive natural environment.
Un evento en Cala Vadella desata la polémica y activa una investigación tras la difusión de vídeos

The publication of several videos on social networks by VibeCribTour, showing an event on a cliff on the beach of Cala Vadella during the month of October and in which DJ Claudia Narducci played, has led the City Council of Sant Josep to review whether there was an unauthorized activity in this natural environment.

The Consistory confirms to La Voz de Ibiza that, until the diffusion of these images, they had no evidence of any irregular event: “We have no evidence of any incident related to illegal party or activity without a license developed in the area of Cala Vadella in the month of October, which may coincide with the event,” said municipal sources. They also add that there is no record of any incident involving the disc jockey identified.

Following the circulation of the videos published by Vibe Crib, the City Council has launched a review of the information available to determine whether or not to open a file. “This type of actions, if carried out without the corresponding enabling title, are not allowed and are considered illegal,” they recalled.

A family beach turned into a festive setting

Cala Vadella -or Vedella-is a cove known for its quiet atmosphere, mainly oriented to family tourism. Its fine sand, calm waters and offer of water activities make it especially popular during the summer season.

The environment, protected by cliffs and pine trees, has restaurants, boathouses and paddle surfing and diving schools. It is precisely because of its natural character and its mostly family use that the images of this type of event in the middle of October have generated concern among neighbors.

A recent precedent: the Diplo case

The controversy revives the memory of one of the most mediatic episodes that occurred in the municipality. In June 2024, the international DJ Diplo held an impromptu session in the protected area of Cala d’Hort, gathering hundreds of people without authorization.

The City Council confirmed this year that it imposed a fine of 300,000 euros, the maximum penalty foreseen for infractions in areas of special environmental protection. The event was held in an area catalogued as ANEI (Natural Area of Special Interest) and protected by the Natura 2000 Network.

At that time, the Consistory warned that these behaviors “threaten the environment” and represent a serious breach of environmental regulations, although initially they refused to confirm whether there was a sanctioning process underway.

Investigation opened following the dissemination of the videos

In the case of Cala Vadella, the City Council insists that there was no complaint or prior notice of a party in October, but the appearance of the videos has activated the usual review protocol. For now, no case has been opened, although it will be studied if the activity violated the regulations and if it is possible to identify those responsible.
