So I\u2019m <span class=\"il\">Polly<\/span>\u00a0and I run the Ibiza Angels in Ibiza and also work for Ibiza Angels in the UK.\u00a0Ibiza Angels are fully-qualified therapists that deliver over-the-clothes \u00a0head, neck and shoulder massages \u2013 to revitalise. Our seated treatment incorporates techniques designed specifically to energise \u2013 perfect for Ibiza days dancing in the sunshine \u00a0\u2013 and long Ibiza nights!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<hr \/>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #993300\">Wow, so where did the idea come from?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Joe Wise, the owner and co-founder of Ibiza Angels, came up with the concept 10 years ago, at a beach party at Cala Gracioneta, in San Antonio.\u00a0It was one of those Ibiza parties, under the stars, where you could feel that \u2018anything can happen\u2019 Ibiza energy\u2026a throwaway comment was made: \u00a0&#8216;I\u2019d love it if someone could give me a shoulder massage\u2026it would be like an Angel coming down from above!\u2019 \u2013 and that was the lightbulb moment!\u00a010 years ago, nobody had seen this style of massage and they had certainly never seen the \u2018pay what you feel it\u2019s worth,\u2019 over-the-clothes massage delivered at parties, premium venues, weddings and events.\u00a0In those days, a massage was all about having full body treatments and we continue to be firm believers in the emotional and physical benefits of traditional treatments . (we highly recommend Ashley and his fantastic team at O Beach Massage)&#8230;but here we are, 10 years later and very honoured to deliver our service at Ibiza\u2019s leading premium venues \u2013 including our beloved O Beach Ibiza! A genuinely brilliant venue with a fantastic, hard-working management team, that, on a personal level, is very close to my heart as Ibiza Angels started operating at O Beach Ibiza 4 summers ago &#8211; the same summer that I started working for Ibiza Angels<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<hr \/>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #993300\"><a href=\"https:\/\/obi-cc.theloyaltyco.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/HrFywbjrAgltDofFBzagamCfwS-87opcLnHQTbFj2ss.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1264  alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/obi-cc.theloyaltyco.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/HrFywbjrAgltDofFBzagamCfwS-87opcLnHQTbFj2ss.jpg\" alt=\"HrFywbjrAgltDofFBzagamCfwS-87opcLnHQTbFj2ss\" width=\"593\" height=\"395\" \/><\/a>What exactly does the Ibiza Angel experience involve?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Of course, an incredible massage that, in 10 powerful minutes, will leave you feeling de-stressed. using pressure points and Acupressure techniques, zinging with energy.\u00a0But, it\u2019s more than that.\u00a0 There\u2019s a certain sparkle, a certain magic in an Ibiza Angel that you just can\u2019t put into words.\u00a0\u00a0 Big smiles, bags of positive energy \u2013 in essence, a brilliant, inspirational team of women that also have the skills and expertise to give a outstanding massage treatment too\u2026a great experience, a lovely exchange\u2026a great memory.\u00a0 That combination is really something special.\u00a0We\u2019re very proud that we were born in Ibiza, all those years ago\u2026.and that authenticity, that very special spirit of Ibiza runs through everything we do and everything we stand for.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #993300\">So is\u00a0Ibiza Angels exclusive to just Ibiza?!<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Ibiza Angels has also been operating in the UK for the last 9 years.\u00a0\u00a0 After an incredible first summer, we were contacted by venues in London as they wanted the Ibiza Angels too.\u00a0So the Ibiza Angels were taken to London\u2026. nobody really expected the concept to take off the way it did\u2026but now we have three brands in the UK:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u><\/u><u><\/u><span style=\"color: #993300\"><strong>Ibiza Angels<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; premium venues, festivals, media, music, VIP events and backstage environments\u2026<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #993300\"><strong>Massage Angels<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; who can be found delivering massages from distinctive Pods at London\u2019s leading<br \/>\nretail environments including Westfield London, Westfield Stratford City and Brent Cross\u2026.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #993300\"><strong>Casino Angels<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; who deliver treatments as part of London\u2019s leading casinos \u2013 and also as part of national poker tournaments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #993300\">How do you recruit your angels and what do you look for in an Ibiza Angel ?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/obi-cc.theloyaltyco.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/dkw8zSnffCpHY8bv8ey-WHOUQJqVVJ_4VzmKJZCTc7A.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1247  alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/obi-cc.theloyaltyco.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/dkw8zSnffCpHY8bv8ey-WHOUQJqVVJ_4VzmKJZCTc7A.jpg\" alt=\"dkw8zSnffCpHY8bv8ey-WHOUQJqVVJ_4VzmKJZCTc7A\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a>Ah recruitment!
