But one famous face was missing - big brother Gary, who after hosting Match of the Day on Saturday night appears to be back home in the UK enjoying a lamb roast.
Those cheering on Wayne on the balearic island include Love Islanders Calum Best, Curtis Pritchard and Jack Fowler, and Celebs Go Dating stars Chloe Ferry, Tom Zanetti and Kimberly Hart-Simpson.
A growing crowd can be seen dancing to DJs and boozing in the sunshine at his club, with the dad-of-four documenting the day on Instagram.
Wayne is enjoying the party despite previously admitting all he wanted for his birthday is for his brother Gary to turn up.

Sharing a picture with his older brother, Wayne told his fans earlier this month: “If there was one person in the world I would love to surprise me at my 60th birthday party next week @obeachibiza it would be this man.
“I don’t think it’s too difficult to work out we’re not as close as we were 😢 #lifestooshort #brothers.”
Wayne and footballer Gary were close during childhood but their relationship became strained as adults.
Celebs Go Dating star Wayne previously told The Sun that things started to deteriorate when Gary met Danielle Bux, who he has since divorced.
In 2015, he said: "In my opinion Danielle cost me my relationship with my brother. Sadly Gary is no longer a part of my life.”

He admitted he was confused when the weekly phone calls and visits stopped.
He added: “Within a year we had spent less time talking than we ever had before.
“It was like an itch I couldn’t scratch and I couldn’t understand why our contact had fizzled out.”
Wayne didn’t attend their wedding, despite being best man at Gary’s first nuptials to Michelle Cockayne.

In 2017, he revealed that the pair had started speaking again, telling The Sunday Mirror: “We talk now. We are not how we were years and years ago, but we speak more now.”
Footballer commentator Gary does not comment on their relationship.
Wayne’s followers rushed to support him after his post, with one fan admitting: “That actually bought a tear to my eye! I’m in the same position with my mother and my brother after I was in an abusive relationship😪 hopefully soon you brothers can be together again 🙏🏼 xx”
