Pacha/Yo-Chi

Social media is a hub of inspiration when it comes to things to do - whether it's inspiration for a dinner party you're throwing at home, a new pottery class in your city, or the best new eatery that you haven't discovered yet.

We're all guilty of it - scrolling through our TikTok FYPs liking every restaurant, destination, or activity video vowing we'll go - and then letting it disappear into the abyss and forgetting we ever saw it. Naturally, we're then riddled with FOMO two million views later when it's booked out for months in advance *cough* T *cough*.

So that's it, we're holding you accountable.This is every location that's popped up on our FYP in September 2026 that you need to add to your list of plans - all in one place...

Jondal, Ibiza

One of the most-hyped destinations of summer 2026 - not only in Ibiza, but the Mediterranean as whole - Jondal has become the go-to spot for beach club energy and all things fine dining.

Their 125 euro Caviar pasta has become TikTok's biggest buzz, and reviews suggest that it might actually live up to the price.

Expect celeb spotting, prime views, chic terrace lunches, and long, lazy afternoons under the sun.

Yo-Chi, London

If you haven't yet stood in an hour-long queue around the block of Notting Hill's high street, you've most definitely seen it online.

Fro-yo may have had its moment in the 2010s, however, queues of up to four hours could be seen down Notting Hill's main high street over the weekend when Australia's Yo-Chi opened its doors for the first time.

Part-dessert shop, part-late-night hangout spot, the self-serve yoghurt store triggered a social media storm (not least after it hosted a huge influencer launch) ahead of its grand opening.

The concept is simple: Yo-Chi offers nine frozen yoghurt flavours and over 30 self-serve toppings spanning fruit, to brownies, cookies, and more sauce varieties than you can count on one hand.
It's clear our yearning for nostalgia is still ever-present.

GORDO Closing Parties, Pacha Ibiza

Pacha

Pacha Ibiza may be one of the island's most legendary clubs, having opened its doors on the island back in 1973, but it's not slowing down when it comes to reminding everyone how it got its reputation.

And just because it's September, it doesn't mean things are slowing down as we enter closing season for the island - because the parties are only ramping up.

One of the most hotly-anticipated to watch comes from none other than GORDO (the name behind some of Drake's biggest hits), and his underground label TARAKA for a night of the best in tech-house.

It's your last chance to catch him in Ibiza this summer, so it's not one to miss.

CZER, London

Located in an unassuming news agents, Czer is encompassing London's favourite things: No-fuss lunches, Caesar salads, and crisps.

Pick out your favourite packet of crisps and watch it get chopped and mashed into the biggest wrap you've ever seen. Sensational.

Carbone, London

@manika.a._

opening night at Carbone 🫶🏼✨ #carbone #london #fyp #foryou

Everybody stay calm - it's finally happening. New York's most-viral eatery has finally come across the pond to London's Mayfair. Carbone, an upmarket Italian-American spot, is the go-to restaurant for A-listers and the glamorous local crowd alike, and initial reviews from its London opening suggest the British take on it isn't one to be missed either.

Loversall Vineyard, Doncaster

One of the most unique experiences in Yorkshire 🤩 Did you know Doncaster has it’s own vineyard? 🍷 The perfect day out for wine lovers 🙌 @LOVERSALL VINEYARD Loversall Vineyard, Doncaster 📍 #doncaster #yorkshire #thingstodoinyorkshire #southyorkshire

When you think of vineyards, your mind may immediately wander off to the rolling hills of Napa Valley, or an afternoon basking in the sunshine of Provence - but one place you probably didn't consider...is Yorkshire. English wines are rapidly growing in popularity, and vineyards are becoming a popular choice when heading to a local bar just isn't quite cutting it anymore.

Rent a boyfriend, Japan

@seerasan1

Renting a boyfriend in Japan was suoer fun… Would you do it? 😏💘 thanks @成海【レンタル彼氏】 #japan #japanlife #rentalboyfriend #fyp #tokyo

Anyone who's dating will never hesitate to tell you about how finding the perfect partner can often feel like the trenches - but Japan may just have the solution, because you can now pay to rent a boyfriend without the commitment.

It's nothing seedy and intimacy is off limits, but rather it's a popular option for tourists who want an authentic relationship experience while solo travelling, or want someone to hang out with while they do excursions.

There are a number of boyfriend rental platforms out there, but one we checked made the process of buying your date easier than buying groceries. Read our full article on it here.
