Ibiza Beach Day Turns Into Celebrity Encounter at Jondal After Three-Month Reservation

01. October 2026

A planned beach day at Jondal in Ibiza turned into an unexpected series of celebrity encounters for a young visitor who says she met actor Aron Piper, Romeo Beckham, David and Victoria Beckham and footballer Kylian Mbappé during the same visit.

The visitor, Arina Almakaeva, shared her experience on Instagram, describing how she had booked a table at Jondal three months in advance because she particularly wanted to visit the Cala Jondal destination.

According to her account, what began as a planned day by the sea ended with several encounters she had not expected.

A three-month wait for Jondal

Almakaeva says she had made her reservation three months before the visit.

She described Jondal as “the best place on the island” and highlighted the combination of its food, beach setting and luxury retail offering.

The choice of Jondal also fits with the destination's current profile. The Michelin Guide lists Jondal in Cala Jondal in its restaurant selection, describing it as a seafood restaurant led culinarily by chef Rafa Zafra and noting that reservations can be difficult to secure during the summer.

The venue also has an official Jacquemus boutique at Casa Jondal.

The first unexpected encounter

According to Almakaeva's account, the first celebrity she noticed after returning from a swim was Spanish actor Aron Piper.

She said she recognised him while he was nearby and that this became the first of several unexpected encounters during the day.

The account was shared through her social-media video, which was subsequently reported by La Voz de Ibiza.

Meeting Romeo Beckham at the Jacquemus boutique

The next encounter took place while Almakaeva was visiting the Jacquemus boutique at Jondal.

She says she recognised Romeo Beckham and approached him for a photograph.

According to her account, David Beckham and Victoria Beckham were subsequently also included in the photograph. She said Victoria Beckham helped take the picture.

The Jacquemus store at Casa Jondal is independently confirmed by the fashion house's official store information.

Kylian Mbappé was the final surprise

The final celebrity encounter described by Almakaeva involved Kylian Mbappé.

She says she encountered the footballer at another boutique at the destination and approached him after recognising him, asking for a photograph.

This completed what she described as an unusually star-filled few hours at Jondal.

The encounters are based on Almakaeva's own social-media account. They should therefore be understood as her description of the day rather than as independently verified appearances or statements from the celebrities themselves.

Jondal's luxury setting

The celebrity encounters came at a destination that has increasingly combined its beachfront restaurant identity with luxury fashion and lifestyle collaborations.

Jondal is included in the Michelin Guide's current restaurant selection, with its cuisine focused on fish, seafood and caviar. Michelin describes the restaurant as being located directly in Cala Jondal and notes its strong demand during the summer months.

In 2026, Jondal also became the setting for a collaboration with Byredo. The fragrance house created “Late Lunch”, a fragrance made exclusively for Jondal and sold through the Particular Ibiza pop-up. The collaboration was reported by both EL PAÍS and Vogue España.

Jacquemus also maintains its Casa Jondal boutique at the destination, with the fashion house currently listing the Ibiza store on its official website.

A day that went far beyond the original plan

Almakaeva's visit was originally planned around spending time at Jondal and enjoying the beach.

Instead, according to her account, the day unfolded with encounters involving Aron Piper, Romeo Beckham, David and Victoria Beckham and Kylian Mbappé.

The experience is another example of how Ibiza's most sought-after summer destinations can become meeting points for international visitors and high-profile guests, although the presence of particular celebrities on any given day cannot be guaranteed.

For Almakaeva, a reservation made three months ahead for a beach day ultimately produced a very different kind of holiday memory.
