If Ibiza is known for anything, it’s the clubs. They are huge, and the DJs that play the Ibiza clubs, are the best in the world. Discover the most famous clubs in Ibiza, in alphabetical order. And find out how you can get a huge discount or even party for free!
Parties in Ibiza
Clubbing in Ibiza is a unique experience. The clubs all have their own atmosphere, and almost every night, there is a different party. The top DJs often have a residency at a club in the summer. Solomun throws his party in Pacha, you party with David Guetta in Ushuaïa, and you dance the night away with Black Coffee in Hï. So be sure to check out the evening’s lineup because one night, the music is exactly your style, while the next night, in the same club, something completely different is buzzing. Check the party calendar (you can also buy tickets on this site and return them if you don’t go, easy!).
Cheap clubs in Ibiza?
Unfortunately, cheap clubbing in Ibiza does not exist. However, you may be able to save some money. At Heart Ibiza, for example, you could drink water from the tap. I’m not sure if you still can now that Heart has become Club Chinois. At most other clubs, there is salt in the water, and that tastes awful.
Another saving tip is to see if the party of your choice has lower prices if you arrive before a specific time. That can sometimes save you a tenner already.
Free entrance to Ibiza clubs
So, partying in Ibiza is pretty expensive. So before you buy your tickets, always try to find out if there’s an option to enter the club for free or with a massive discount. Check out the TG Ibiza app for guest list tickets, and try the LocoLife app for free tickets – you’ll have to buy a Locopass, so do the math to see if it’s a good deal. With this app, you also get discounts on restaurants and activities! By using this link, you get an additional 15% off on your LocoLife pass (or otherwise use the discount code KIM15).
Read the conditions carefully (for example, you must be in at a specific time) and take your ID with you to the club. They do ask for it at the door.
Akasha club in Ibiza
A newcomer to the island: Akasha. It opened in the winter of 2021 and is already attracting a good crowd. Early in the season, it’s mainly Ibiza expats. The club is on the Las Dalias site. It’s a smaller club with excellent acoustics and a fantastic light show. There’s just one hall and an intensively used outdoor area. The DJ stands in the middle of the room. The big DJs don’t play here – yet. But it’s also much cheaper than the superclubs with the big names.
Number of revelers: not sure, 500?
Most famous parties: ?
Drink price: water € 6, Red Bull € 7
AMNESIA club in Ibiza
The doors of AMNESIA first opened in 1976. Although there was a temporary closure every now and then, AMNESIA has been building its reputation ever since. The lineup is diverse. One night a Latin artist like Daddy Yankee performs; the next night, you hear the dark techno sounds of Nina Kraviz. The club consists of two large rooms: Terrace (where the sun’s rays appear through the glass roof at the beginning of the morning) and Club Room. Usually, both spaces are open, especially in the high season.
Number of revelers: 5,000
Most famous parties: Pyramid, Elrow
Drink price: beer €13, apple juice €14, water €9, mix €15+
Club Chinois in Ibiza
A new club opened up in 2022: Club Chinois. It’s in the harbor of Ibiza town, where there used to be club Heart. Heart was definitely my favorite Ibiza club as it was smaller than most others and had more eccentric, creative, and outspoken parties. The first reviews sound very promising, but I haven’t been able to make it yet. Definitely let me know what you think of Club Chinois! The pictures below are still from Heart.
Number of revelers: 1,000
Most famous parties: ??
Drink price: wine €16, cocktails €20+
DC-10 in Ibiza
The first party in the DC-10 was celebrated in 1999. DC-10 is synonymous for underground techno. It is not a place for the masses. The club is located in an old aircraft hangar, and because there is also a stage outside, you will regularly see the planes passing by. The outdoor area is usually open from 6 pm to 11:30 pm. This way you can start your evening in the sun and continue the party in the two indoor halls. Compared to most other clubs, the DC-10 is decent in terms of drink price. The air conditioning is freezzzzzing here, by the way.
Number of revelers: 1,500
Most famous parties: Circoloco, Paradise
Drink price: beer and water €5 – €10, mix about €15
Hï Ibiza
Hï Ibiza is a relatively new name in a relatively old building. For years it was the Space (to which the name Carl Cox is inextricably linked), and in 2017 it threw its first party with the name Hï. The change also gave the club a new interior. Quite an improvement if you ask me. During an evening at Hï you will be treated to an impressive light show, whether you are in the Theater or Club room. There is plenty of atmospheric outdoor space to relax after dancing. Although the club looks really slick, it’s not the club for me. I find it a bit lacking in atmosphere, and there are far too many youngsters getting mortal. But hey, take a look for yourself!
Number of revelers: 5,000
Most famous parties: Afterlife, Glitterbox, Black Coffee
Drink price: beer €13, mix €18+

O Beach Ibiza
O Beach is a relative newcomer. It started in 2012 as Ocean Beach Ibiza and now operates under the name O Beach Ibiza. It’s an entirely different experience than most clubs. It’s a pool party during the day. Lounging on your beach bed, ordering champagne, and dancing in/around the pool. At O Beach, you pay a small amount for the entrance, but you actually want to book a VIP bed here. Have a few friends join you, as it is certainly not cheap. You easily pay €200 for such a bed, but you can spend the same amount on food and drinks. So depending on how much you eat and drink, your VIP bed is actually free. And the sushi is delicious, I can tell you!
Number of revelers: 1,200
Most famous party: Hed Kendi
Drink price: beer €5, water €7, mix €16+
Pacha club in Ibiza
The Pacha. It is the oldest club in Ibiza. People have been dancing here since 1973. Unfortunately, it showed: a few years ago, it was quite worn down. Very disappointing, as Pacha didn’t live up to her reputation at all. Fortunately, the Pacha has been renovated and now has a whole new, white look and a chill courtyard. The DJ booth is now at the same level as the dance floor, and the VIP area is less prominent. The club with the well-known cherry logo is ready to party for years again. Especially at Pacha, you have to carefully study the calendar: the parties are very diverse. There are no fewer than five halls, so you can also find plenty of variety during your evening at Pacha.
Number of revelers: 3,000
Most famous parties: F*** Me I’m Famous, Flower Power, Solomun +1, Music On
Drink price: beer or Red Bull €12, mix €18+
Ushuaïa in Ibiza
It is unbelievable that the Ushuaïa club only opened its doors in 2011. For me, it’s just as much of an institution as the Pacha. The Ushuaïa is an entirely different experience. This is really an outdoor party. That’s why it usually starts here at three o’clock. So you still have hours to dance in the sun. First, only the small DJ booth behind the pool is providing the tunes. This is where the party starts. As soon as this part of the Ushuaïa starts to fill up (and I mean: gets absolutely packed), the balcony opens. I’m always keeping a close eye on that: I love the fresh breeze! And not unimportant: extra toilets. As soon as it is too busy there, the entire dance floor opens, and the DJ starts playing the big stage. A plane flies over every now and then, the sun slowly sets, and around 11 o’clock in the evening, the party is over. The enthusiasts then cheerfully cross the street to continue at the Hï.
Number of revelers: 4,000
Most famous parties: Ants, Martin Garrix
Drink price: beer €12, water €13

Buy tickets for parties and clubs in Ibiza
If you couldn’t find a good deal via the apps I mentioned earlier, you’d better buy your tickets online. That is pretty much always cheaper than buying your ticket at the door. There are ATMs on the island where you can purchase club tickets, and various cafés and restaurants are also points of sale. They also use the regular prices.
Normally, you can still buy a ticket on the day itself. But if you already know where you want to go, you can do that well in advance.
