A VIP hostess who helps organise luxury holidays for footballers in Ibiza has spilled the details on their swanky getaways.
Alis Moore, a director at Faith Concierge, has been working in the luxury experience sector ever since becoming pals with Wayne Lineker eight years ago.
She’s brushed shoulders with the great and good of English football including Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, John Terry, and Kieran Trippier – and even shared a recent snap with Jude and Jobe Bellingham.
Initially she worked in a more hands-on role – doing stars’ shopping, taking them to the best beach clubs, getting them on their boats – but she has since graduated to a role upstairs and oversees a crew of 10 hostesses.
Faith has deals with around 200 rentable boats around the Spanish island, with the cheapest costing around £1,000 per day, and the most expensive soaring to £20,000 for the players who want the grooviest parties.
But it turns out the stars often do prefer substance over style – at least when it comes to what cars they zip around in.

‘We do offer Ferraris and Lamborghinis, but in Ibiza the players want to take their friendship groups so it’s about the bigger cars,’ Alis tells Mail Sport.
‘The G-wagons and Range Rovers are always popular!
‘We usually put together the itinerary for them. Because we’ve been here so long, we know the best places to go. So we’ll tailor-make it for them.
‘Some of them want to party for 10 days straight!
‘But some of them want to come for a chilled time with their family, it’s not just the party stuff. A lot of them just want a relaxing holiday and to stay out of the limelight.
‘The island caters to everybody – there’s an amazing standard of food and hotels. All the best international DJs are here every night of the week.’
One man who has contributed to Ibiza’s boom in popularity among footballers more than most is Wayne Lineker.
In 2012, he launched the party resort Ocean Beach – known as O Beach – famed for its poolside parties and DJ performances.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot was kissed on the cheek by Wayne Lineker on a recent trip to the club
The club is known to attract a whole host of celebrities, which includes Premier League footballers
Arne Slot was seen living it up there last month, following the Reds’ Premier League triumph, and even got a cheeky kiss on the cheek by Lineker.
Meanwhile, the Bellingham brothers enjoyed several beverages with their pals, and Lineker, as they sat in an exclusive VIP area.
Jack Grealish is a regular at Ocean Beach with Lineker once joking about the prospect of a four-week loan deal for the Manchester City man at his beach club, following his omission from the England Euro 2024 squad.
And it is believed that YouTuber KSI spent a whopping £51,000 on 600 bottles of champagne during his trip to Ocean Beach in June 2023. Don’t scratch your eyes, that is a real sentence.
It’s not all fun and games, though. There is a serious side to the pleasure – security.
Alis tells Mail Sport: ‘A lot of footballers get targeted by organised crime out here. If people see footballers out in the clubs spending lots of money, they can get targeted.
‘People follow them home and there have been robberies in the past.
‘If I know we’ve got a big name coming out, first of all, we would only ever put them in a villa where we trust the owner. We have lots of our properties exclusively – you won’t find them on AirBnB or other websites. If you were to book them, it’s quite easy for someone to copy the keys.

‘We do a lot of private villas so they’re not as easily accessible. We can also provide 24/7 villa security and personal, but a lot of them fly out with their own.
‘It’s not as bad nowadays but it was more dangerous after Covid. A lot of people were having their watches and jewellery stolen and there were villa robberies. It’s not as bad now as it was a few years ago. They can relax more and enjoy themselves.’
Mail Sport asks if Alis has encountered any particularly bizarre requests from footballers.
The answer is no, but she does admit that players sometimes break the bank with precious marriage proposals for their partners.
‘We did one last week, the footballers love to be over the top and extravagant,’ she says.
‘We had a proposal where the beach club messaged saying it was so over the top! It was a massive display with flowers on the beach and they said to us to not do it as big as it was a distraction for everyone in the restaurant!’
