Palma’s coolest creative weekend lands at Aethos: Tattoos, tardeo, jewellery making and more

A new kind of social ritual is taking over Palma this weekend: one that swaps high-energy nightlife for something slower, more tactile and infinitely more personal. Across two days, Aethos Club Palma is hosting a pair of events that blend music, craftsmanship and hand-poked tattooing, drawing a stylish, creatively inclined crowd to its rooftop setting.

Friday: Music, ink and after-work Energy

The weekend begins on Friday May 1 evening from 5pm with a laid-back afterwork gathering that moves seamlessly from music to ink. Designed as a fluid, social experience, the atmosphere leans intimate and unforced: a space where guests can arrive for a drink and stay for something more permanent.

Running from early evening, the event centres around flash tattoos by Barcelona-based artist Indiapia Tats, whose hand-poked technique has become something of a signature. Working without a machine, her process is slower and more deliberate, resulting in fine, minimal designs that feel understated yet deeply personal.

Set against a backdrop of music and a relaxed crowd, the evening captures a shift in Palma’s social scene – one that favours connection and creativity over spectacle. It’s as much about the energy of the room as it is the tattoos themselves.

Saturday: Craft, ink and coastal views

On Saturday, the concept evolves into something softer and more immersive. Taking place during the day, the focus turns to craft and self-expression, with a slower rhythm that encourages guests to linger.

At the centre is The Makers Table with Saona Joies, where participants can design and create their own jewellery pieces – delicate, wearable mementos shaped by hand. Alongside it, Indiapia Tats returns with her hand-poked flash designs, offering a more permanent form of storytelling through skin.

Set on the RAIG rooftop, the experience is elevated by sweeping coastal views, with music and cocktails carrying the atmosphere from afternoon into early evening. The result is something that feels less like an event and more like a curated moment – a gathering defined by mood, light and shared creativity.

Inside Palma’s new members’ club

Hosting both events is Aethos Club Palma, one of the island’s newest private members’ spaces. Positioned as a hub where work, wellbeing and culture intersect, it reflects a growing appetite for community-driven, experience-led venues in Mallorca.

The club is an extension of the Aethos brand, already known for its boutique hotel in Peguera, and brings that same lifestyle-led approach into a more urban, social setting. Expect thoughtfully designed interiors, a curated events calendar and a focus on connection – whether through creative workshops, wellness experiences or intimate gatherings like this weekend’s.

A shift in Mallorca’s social scene

Together, the two events signal a broader shift in how people are choosing to spend their time on the island. Less about late nights, more about meaningful moments; less about excess, more about expression.

From Friday’s music-led tattoo session to Saturday’s slower, craft-focused gathering, Aethos is carving out a new kind of social space in Palma – one where creativity, community and atmosphere take centre stage.
