Mr Pikes: The Story Behind The Ibiza Legend: Tony Pike, Matt

HE was the sex-mad playboy who provided a tropical retreat for A-list celebrities to indulge their wildest fantasies.”But for all his faults, there was still something human and likeable about him, and there’s no disputing his ambition, drive and work ethic. Over the years I met and spoke with Tony again on many occasions; I was always amazed by his stamina, his charm and his ability to tell a story. I was of course saddened to hear that he had passed away but at the same time just so impressed that he lived – and boy did he live! – to be 85 years old. Pikes will always be a testament to Tony’s hard work and creativity; I imagine the team at the hotel are already planning to create a place where the many thousands of people whose lives he touched can pay their respects to him in years to come. From a successful business life in Australia, and interesting upbringing, his story then turns to Ibiza and the reason he became the man he is remembered for today.
