From 11-14 August 2016, the 7th Ibiza Beach Polo Cup takes place at Ibiza Polo Club. Eight international teams will participate, three players per team.
The best nightclubs, the most famous beach clubs, the most incredible hotels, the most picturesque beaches and villages, all this combined with the sport of kings: polo. This is Ibiza right now.
Ibiza Polo Club was established in 2011, as a result of the necessity to please polo enthusiasts who missed playing polo in the paradise of Ibiza. Since then, Ibiza Polo Club keeps growing every day, with more members and aficionados who come by season after season in order to enjoy individual or group polo lessons, where internationally recognized polo professionals provide a personalized attention. This ensures the improvement of the learners, who train the different existent tactics under constant supervision, both during the indoor and outdoor lessons and practices. The school at Ibiza Polo Club is open all year round.
The Ibiza Polo Club’s facilities are created to meet the necessities of a polo player. Either for beginner or professional players, the club provides the polo player with everything he needs to enjoy playing polo. The club has an official polo field, an indoor arena, horses for each level, deck bar, shop, stables, paddocks, etc.
Ibiza’s climate allows you to play almost all year round, although the summer season is always unique. In addition to the worldwide recognized tournament played at the club, “Ibiza Beach Polo” – which celebrates its seventh edition this year – Ibiza Polo Club presents a complete tournament schedule which welcomes many of the best world polo players, and is supported by the most important brands. The club offers a wide variety of tournaments for all levels and handicaps, such as mixed tournaments, women’s polo, etc. always surrounded by a very friendly and familiar atmosphere. And remember that, in Ibiza Polo Club, the entrance is free.
Gabriel Iglesias, President of the Ibiza Polo Club: “The Ibiza Beach Polo Cup was born as a totally original and different project in Ibiza. Nobody knew about polo on the island, and in fact, the idea of creating a polo field from scratch, and bringing more than 70 horses here was a madman’s idea; but the creator of this whole thing is a madman, and this is why this extravagance became reality. This annual rendez-vous is now one of the most relevant events of the Beach Polo International Tour, so much so that Adolfito Cambiaso, the best player in the world, only plays beach polo here, in Ibiza. This tournament also relies on the presence of some of the highest handicapped players in the world. The Ibiza Beach Polo Cup is now played at IBIZA POLO CLUB, where an arena pitch is built as if it were the beach. We would like to invite you to discover the club, the only official polo club of the Balearics and Territorial Delegation of the Royal Spanish Polo Federation.”
