Ibiza clubs and bars: a guide to Ibiza nightlife

Is Ibiza’s nightlife calling out to you? Are you already imagining living it large at the parties in its famous nightclubs? If so, take note of our suggestions and tips to find out where to go and when, because it’s often easy to get lost in its wide range of parties, clubs and terraces if you’re not sure what the nightlife scene of the White Island is like.

Are you ready?

The island’s relationship with nightclubs began in the 70s, when party rooms, where dinner and live musical performances were offered, gave way to a type of venue focused solely on dance. Since then, Ibiza’s nightlife scene has evolved non-stop, from the famous Balearic Sound that made the Amnesia nightclub famous to the afternoon-evening parties in Ushuaïa that end with the arrival of midnight. Nowadays, enjoying a night out in Ibiza requires knowing where they play the music you like, which DJs fit your style and which day the party you’d like to go to is on. One thing is clear: Almost all the action is found in the triangle of San Antonio – Ibiza – Playa d’en Bossa.

 

Ibiza best clubs

Ibiza has four world-famous mega clubs (Hï, PACHA, Privilege and Amnesia), a few smaller clubs with diverse personalities, hotels that become clubs for a few hours, bars with live music and legendary terraces that provide the soundtrack for one of the most famous sunsets in the world. And let’s not forget the Marina de Ibiza neighbourhood, with a lively nightlife that is also home to part of the island’s gay scene. So if it’s your first time in Ibiza, the first question you will have, when faced with such variety, will definitely be: So where should you go out at night in Ibiza?

 

 

How to choose which club to go to in Ibiza

First of all, we have to take into account that in the nightclubs of Ibiza you have to know how to choose a session in accordance with your own taste: It’s not the same going to the legendary Flower Power party that PACHA holds, where rhythms from the 60s and 70s pound out, as attending a house session at Hï, enjoying the most danceable electronic music at the Glitterbox party or joining the Circoloo at DC10, a party specially designed for clubbers who like the most underground house and techno sounds.

 

Although there are a few exceptions, electronic music is the star in the main clubs on the island. Therefore, it’s advisable before choosing where to go at night in Ibiza to check the calendar of events for the main clubs (Amnesia, PACHA, Hï, Ushuaïa…) on specialist websites such as Ibiza Spotlight and Welcome to Ibiza, and see the DJ sessions scheduled for each day of the week, so you can choose the one that best suits your musical tastes.

Is it worth going to Ibiza clubs? 

 

Ibiza clubs have ended up becoming a destination in and of themselves, since each night offers a true visual show with well-designed staging, where there is no shortage of acrobatic gogo choreography and well-designed light shows. If you are not into electronic music, but are curious and want to experience a famous Ibiza night, the best thing to do is get one of the invitations and discount cards that are handed out each day on the island’s busiest beaches (Ses Salines and Platges de Comte, for instance) that will allow you to enjoy this experience more economically, provided that you arrive at the club before the allotted time.

The night in Ibiza starts at San Antonio Bay, which has for decades been providing the soundtrack for the most famous sunset of the Mediterranean Sea. Fifteen minutes by car from Amàre Beach Hotel Ibiza, in the promenade section of San Antonio, known as Ses Variades, are the famous Café del Mar and Café Mambo, as well as many other chilled terraces located a few feet further on in Caló des Moro.

 

And, returning to Cala de Bou, Amàre Ibiza Beach Hotel is home to our Belvue Rooftop Bar terrace, a fabulous space where you can enjoy the best view of the Ibiza sunset to the beat of the Sunset Ritual event, where good music and carefully prepared refreshing cocktails are in abundance. And when you want a change of scene, a few feet from our hotel is another must-visit place in Ibiza where you can see the sunset: Kumharas. Easy!

Best Ibiza pubs and bars

 

 

There are many ways to start the night in Ibiza, from the terraces of Sunset Strip in San Antonio to the evening house parties at Ushuaïa. But if you are more into pubs and bars, we recommend you go to La Marina, the port neighbourhood of Ibiza town. There you will find numerous venues along the streets Andenes, Barcelona, Cipriano Garijo and Mare de Deu. The last one has many gay venues. A little further on, a few feet from Portal de ses Taules, is the Tirapallá rooftop, an Ibiza nighttime classic with a good view of the citadel and excellent pop and rock music.

Another place to listen to underground electronic music surrounded by serious clubbers. It’s famous for its Circoloco party and is located next to the airport.
