How Ibiza is one of the most lavish party locations: BBC documentary shows £1000,000 13th birthday party on a luxury yacht to a £30,000 villa party featuring aerial artist and fire eaters

Zara McDermott has showed off the two sides to party island Ibiza - from lavish parties costing thousands of Euros to one woman who ended up doing OnlyFans to keep up with the rent.

The former Love Island star, 27, shadowed Guardia Civil officers at Playa D’en Bossa - an area famous for its nightclubs - for recent BBC documentary Ibiza: Secrets of the Party Island.

During the documentary, she met a number of diverse people - from shadowing the police as they followed up on the theft of luxury goods, to watching party planners organise lavish bashes, and talking to one women who had ended up doing OnlyFans to keep up with the expensive lifestyle.

The event was run by a concierge business called Faith run by a woman called Alice, who set up the enterprise some three years ago.

During the programme, Zara met employees of a concierge service (pictured) who were planning the 100,000 Euro party for a 13-year-old

One luxury party, costing more than 35,0000 Euros, featured an aerial artist (pictured) as well as fire eaters for entertainment

She told Zara: 'So many people, when they come on holiday here, they don't know where to start, so we can help with the whole holiday, starting with villas hotels, we can help with all their bookings here, make sure they're going to the best places on the best day. 

'We have a lot of high end clients here, so it's important that they're well looked after and everything just goes as smoothly as possible.'

According to the concierge business, demand for their services has 'gone through the roof...particularly in peak season' as holidaymakers 'need someone who knows someone' to get into the most in-demand places.  

Another party Zara sees being set up by the concierge service takes place in a villa, costing more than a staggering 30,000 Euros.

Among those hired to entertain the guests are fire-eaters, an aerial artist, and security staff.

According to Zara: 'The ratio of staff to guests is like...70 guests here and 40 people working the party.'

She added: 'Anyone who's anyone is after an invitation to parties like this. 

'Connections are made and deals are done amongst our booth as elite as party as cost over those 5000 euros.

I mean, he used to have some people's yearly salary, and someone is just spending this on one afternoon.

'When money is no object, this is the kind of party that can be pulled off, and to be honest, the girls said this is not even their biggest party. 

'They've had parties that have cost over 100,000 Euros. 

'That blows my mind, but for some people, that's the life they want to live when they come out to Ibiza. That's what money can get you.'

However, not everyone is available to afford that kind of life, inspiring one Ibiza-loving hopeful called Bali to try her hand at OnlyFans online sex work so she could afford her rent.

Zara met Bali and asked her about what inspired her to turn to that work in order to stay on the island.

Bali said: 'Ive been coming here for the last eight years. It's like a home for home, it doesn't really feel like I'm on holiday as such.'

The island is full of luxury yachts, which cost huge amounts of money to rent for holidaygoers and partymakers 

While the island is well known for its partying, it is also an extremely expensive location with luxury holidaying options

She added: 'The dream is [being able to] just sit back on my big yacht with my sexy husband and little children being looked after the nanny. 

'That's the end goal, but I'm not an idiot. You've got to work to get there.'

She added that you have to 'think outside the box in terms of the ways you make money unless you're doing something illegal'.

For her, that meant online sex work.

She said: 'Last year, I gave OnlyFans a go. Full nudity, but I was classy...I was making around like say £2,000 a month, so I could live off of that, and that funded my whole season - my rent and everything like that.'

Bali quit online work a she wanted to work in high-end hospitality, and didn't want her OnlyFans work to be the first thing that showed when people searched for her online.

Another darker side of the island that Zara looked into was the crime which she accompanied the police to learn more about.

Visiting Playa D’en Bossa, filled with 30,000 partygoers, with just four police officers on patrol, Zara said she felt uneasy after learning about the criminal activity which happens in the area. 

As well as enjoying the luxury side of the island, Zara followed police to find out about crime in Ibiza, meeting this man who had recently been robbed of his £10,000 Rolex watch

She and the officers rushed to the scene of a Rolex watch theft, where a man had the item worth 10,000 Euros stolen.

Zara said, according to the Mirror: 'It was shocking when it happened. We got the call and we were there within a minute on the strip. 

'I felt so sorry for this guy, he had been on his phone to his wife and a guy had taken the watch. He tried to run after him and fell over. He was quite shaken up.

'Standing on that exact spot where there had been gangs watching people and looking at their jewellery, it felt quite eerie, you never know who else is being targeted or watched. 

'It was so eye-opening and having been to the island many times before I certainly now look over my shoulder a bit more.'
