AMNESIA

It’s hard to believe that where this bomb of a party explodes all season there once stood an 18th century finca and yet Amnesia is perhaps the most authentic Ibiza clubbing experience. It can be enjoyed from either of the two giant rooms or taken in from the VIP upper balconies. And yes, you might well be suffering from Amnesia on leaving the club, get blasted by Amnesia’s ice cannon, or covered in confetti at one of everyone’s favourite, Saturdays’ El Row. Amnesia’s main dance floors can get extremely busy and are famed for incredible communal moments.

 

DC10

Think accentuated red walls, rave, hedonistic, solid electronic music. Once an airport hanger mainly used for after hour parties, DC10 soon became much more of an underground movement led by authentic electronic music. Don’t expect a big VIP section, people are way too busy getting into the genuine club experience. Dance dance dance at Circoloco parties every Monday night, or Carl Cox’ new residency on Tuesdays. If you go in sober you really will feel like you are in the circo loco (crazy circus).

 

PACHA

Pacha’s glamorous parties were first born in an old Ibicencan finca in the early 70’s. Ibiza’s oldest club, now a global brand, continues to provide the international jet set crowd with the ultimate VIP experience. There are big parties there every night of the week. For something a bit different, take out your platforms and boogie at their Flower Power party on Mondays. The biggest and best known night is Solomuns’s Solomun +1 on Sundays (reserve your VIP table well in advance).

Tip: When it’s busy they tend to hike up the prices at the door so be warned and sort out pre-booking.

CHINOIS

Ibiza welcomes a new club this summer, run by the team of Mayfair, London restaurant Park Chinois. Located close to Ibiza Marina next to the Ibiza Gran Hotel. Enjoy the fantastic views of Dalt Villa from their upper floor terrace and get your freak on at one of the parties, Luciano holds his residency on Saturdays, and Guy Gerber hosts his Mirror Games on Sundays.

 

USHUAIA

Ibiza’s answer to a giant Las Vegas pool party, Ushuaia hosts some of the world’s finest DJs for the ultimate early evening party. The Ushuaia hotel is right on the sand toward the south end of Playa D’en Bossa. It opened in 2010 and instantaneously revived Ibiza’s afternoon party vibe that Space delivered in its heyday. David Guetta, Ants, Martin Garrix and Calvin Harris are just some of the names that regularly play. VIP recommended but it comes at a price. Whatever. Get the shades on and get a grove on.

 

Hï

Ibiza nightclubs start late, and only really get going very late. If you want to have anything Ushaia’s club ‘Hï’ fills the shoes of what was once the legendary club ‘Space’ in the pumping Playa d’en Bossa stretch. ‘Hï’ continues to have on offer some of the world’s biggest djs – like David Guetta and Black Coffee – and provides its guests with creative and cutting edge entertainment. Light shows, 3D projections, mind-blowing décor and exquisite theatrical productions will keep your senses stimulated. Make sure you book yourself a table in one of the many VIP sections and get ready for a hedonistic night.

 

EDEN

Don’t miss out on an evening at San Antonio’s Super club, Eden, where electronic music is delivered to you through one of the best sound systems on the island. The club takes its music seriously and has stepped up its game following a recent makeover to compete with the others. Reserve a VIP section in advance or just get lost in the smoke being pumped out of machines or just because the place is so big! Repopulate Mars on Tuesdays or Defected Ibiza on Fridays are two nights worth checking out.

Tip

That resembles a decent day after your night out we recommend you go to an early evening club and get back to the villa when it is still dark and not when the morning sun is burning your eyes! We also recommend that you pre book; whether you are getting a VIP table or going with the masses. Standing in a long queue is never fun and if you don’t get in for whatever reason it can ruin your night.
