/in /by

While we enjoy the different pace of this summer, Hï Ibiza dropped some awesome news for Ibiza 2021. Get ready for this. On top of returning residencies Afterlife, Black Coffee, F*** Me I’m Famous! and Glitterbox, new residents The Martinez Brothers and FISHER join the party.

Each residency will create its own unique immersive dance experience. As always, the soundtrack goes to some of the biggest international DJs on the scene. Add to that, Hï Ibiza‘s futuristic sound system and you have an experience like no other.

In the words of Yann Pissenem, founder, owner and CEO of The Night League and Hï Ibiza, “We are more determined than ever to make 2021 our best season yet, starting by announcing the craziest line up that Hï Ibiza has ever had. Ibiza 2021 – let’s go!”

We’re in. Here’s the plan:

TUESDAYS – THE MARTINEZ BROTHERS

Directly from New York, The Martinez Brothers snatch up their first headline residency at Hï Ibiza. From their start in the underground electronic music scene of the Bronx, the DJing brothers have quickly turned into house and techno royalty.

Here is what they have to say about it: “2021 will be a new chapter for the world, for the island and for ourselves personally. We are excited to be turning that page with Hï Ibiza. We know it’s going to be something very special.”

As island-favourites, The Martinez Brothers residency is set to be one of the hottest nights on the island. The duo will be joined by the most exciting names in dance music.

WEDNESDAYS – FISHER

From 16 June to 29 September 2021, the smashing FISHER picks up his own headline residency. The Australian DJ-producer made an impressive debut last summer with his massive energy and enthusiasm.

Next season will see even more world-class while he takes over the Theatre on Wednesdays, or as he put it, “Absolutely FROTHING to be cranking the vibes at Hï Ibiza next summer. Gonna be like a monkey on a banana going Fkn MAD!”

THURSDAYS – AFTERLIFE ft TALE OF US

From 24 June to 30 September, world-famous DJ and production duo Tale Of Us return with their party series Afterlife for what’s set to be a massive third season.

Once again, the party will feature an impeccable line-up with the most forward-thinking and recognised names in underground music, as well as mesmerizing soundscapes and lush rhythms designed for the senses.

Tale Of Us have said it themselves, “Hï Ibiza is an amazing home for our Afterlife Ibiza parties, where we create an immersive, audio-visual experience and invite a wide range of artists we love. The moment we stepped into the club each week of past seasons, we felt the energy from the unique crowd. We can’t wait to share fifteen special Thursdays with you all again. See you in 2021!”

FRIDAYS – F*** ME I’M FAMOUS! Ft DAVID GUETTA

From 28 May to 1 October, Monsieur Guetta’s world-favourite F*** Me I’m Famous! is back for an incredible second season. The party is famous for its astounding production, fierce dancers, feel-good atmosphere, unrivalled VIP glamour, and of course the world’s biggest DJs in the booth each week.

As usual, David Guetta will be bringing a FOMO-inducing list of the most talked-about names in electronic music to join him each week, so stay tuned for more announcements.

“Our first season of F*** Me I’m Famous! at Hï Ibiza last summer was off the scale! The energy, the vibe and the atmosphere in our new home exceeded my wildest expectations so I can’t wait to get back there next summer to party with everyone. We’ve got lots of surprises in store and a whole host of incredible DJs joining me each week as always! ”

SATURDAYS – BLACK COFFEE

Black Coffee picks up his Saturday night spot once again from 15 May to 2 October. Having been a part of the Hï Ibiza family from day one, the South African star has been instrumental in shaping the club’s success, contributing some of the most stand-out moments.

Black Coffee is synonymous with cutting edge and forward-thinking curation. On a visual level, expect a complete immersion in the tribal sophistication and spiritual splendour.

In his own words, “Unreal to be going on to our fourth season at home base, Hï Ibiza. So thankful to be a part of the growing success on the island and to be surrounded by the best artists and team in the world!”

SUNDAYS – GLITTERBOX

An absolute favourite for all ages, Glitterbox will also return for a fantastic fourth season from 16 May to 3 October. The long-standing and much-loved residency brings the world’s most respected DJs and emerging talents, showcasing pure dance music, to move your mind, body and soul.

Expect intoxicating dancers, jaw-dropping performers and drag queens – the heroes of the Justice League Of Disco – for more unforgettable moments on the dance floor.

Head honcho Simon Dunmore puts it this way: “We are extremely excited to return to Hï Ibiza in 2021. We believe people’s appetite to party is going to be at an all-time high due to the current world climate; we have progressed our line-up and Hï Ibiza have made some small but telling changes to the structure of the club, so it all bodes well for another amazing season.”

There you have it. Obviously, Hï Ibiza is determined to make up for this year by making next summer its biggest season yet. Next summer, will be a celebration of life, a season to reconnect and rekindle the dance floor with regenerative energy.

Stay tuned. More info coming soon.

Pacha Ibiza Closed for 2020 Due to Coronavirus

/in /by

Pacha Group has today confirmed that Pacha Ibiza does not intend to open for the remainder of 2020.

CEO Nick McGabe announced that his team had made the “painful and difficult” decision, based on the recent guidelines issued by the Balearic government.

Nick continued, “we will follow the recommendations of the administration in order to guarantee the safety and well-being of employees and customers.”

This marks the first time in its celebrated 52-year history that the venue will stay shut for summer.

Pacha now joins Privilege and TNL’s venues Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza in cancelling their season. This does not affect the company’s other businesses on the island, Destino Pacha Resort (only the hotel, there will be no clubbing events) and Lío (with no dancefloor), which are both scheduled to open in July.

Ibiza Clubs + Pool Party Opening Dates 2019

/in /by

The Ibiza party season typically opens around May of each year. Both the clubs and pool parties tend to have their opening parties around this time.

The official start to the Ibiza clubbing season is considered the International Music Summit (IMS) which takes place at the end of the month between Ibiza Town and Playa d’en Bossa. However, several clubs host opening parties earlier than that. Superclubs as Amnesia, Pacha and Sankeys are typically amongst the first to open their doors. Other clubs such as Ushuaïa, DC10, Privilege and Hï Ibiza usually open later in May. Note that opening parties are actually held after “soft” openings of the clubs.

We’ll update this list as more Ibiza club opening parties are announced – check back as summer gets closer!

Comprehensive list of upcoming Ibiza club events

The opening parties are held throughout all of Ibiza. But the hottest areas to check out are Ibiza Town, Playa den Bossa (Platja d’en Bossa), San Antonio (Sant Antoni de Portmany), and Santa Eulalia (Santa Eulària).

Ibiza Club / Pool Party Guide – Summer 2018

/in /by

Ibiza is the place to be if you want sun, sea, sand and the very best in clubbing – but there’s so much on offer that it’s hard to know where to start.

IBIZA is a holiday favourite for its beautiful beaches, great restaurants… and outstanding nightlife.

Anyone who’s been knows there’s an overwhelming amount of stuff happening on the White Isle each year – so we’ve put together a Ibiza nightlife guide.

Whether you’re soaking up the sun at Ocean Beach or chilling by the sea at Nikki Beach, we’ve got everything you need to know here.

And we’ve also tracked down which DJs are playing where – and where you should book your tickets for the hottest parties in town. Read on to find out what’s what.

Best Ibiza Nightclub Nights

Pacha Ibiza

Pacha’s Labyrinth club night takes place inside an area that’s made to look like an enchanted garden.

Head down to Pacha for resident Hot Since 82 on a Friday night at club night Labyrinth – adorned with vines and foliage in what feels like a secret garden – and you’ll get the very best in disco, tech house and techno.

This year’s parties will take place from May 25 to October 12 and will see the likes of Maya Jane Coles, DJ Harvey and Carl Craig take to the decks.

Hï Ibiza

After Hï Ibiza opened last year in place that Space used to be it’s become a firm favourite on the scene.

Inside is a vast space with huge attention to detail paid to the sound system as well as surroundings.

Friday night is Glitterbox, which is where you should head if you want disco – and this year the likes of Basement Jaxx, Derrick Carter and Horsemeat Disco will take to the decks.

Saturday night is Black Coffee’s residency, opening on May 26, when &ME, Blond:ish and Themba will be playing.

Destino

Destino transforms from classy restaurant to huge party in the evening.

Destino is a beautiful spot by the sea for lunch or dinner – but at night it transforms into something completely different – as thousands flock in to party the night away.

This year’s parties run until September 30 and will include the likes of Felix da Housecat, Bedouin and Martin Buttrich.

Even better is that entry is completely free – a rarity in Ibiza. Click here for more info.

DC-10

DC-10 is so close to the airport that you’ll see planes go right overhead as you dance outside.

DC-10 has been running since 1999 and continues to go from strength to strength each year.

Located in a former aircraft hanger, planes from Ibiza airport fly low over the club which is a unique experience when you’re dancing.

Parties this year include Circoloco on Mondays where Kerri Chandler and Tania Vulcano will play.

Meanwhile Jamie Jones’ Paradise is on Tuesdays for house, deep house and tech house.

Amnesia

Amnesia plays host to Elrow this year which is every Sunday night.

Superclub Amnesia has been going since 1976 and holds 5,000 people – if you want a big, hectic night out then this is the place for you.

This year’s nights include Elrow on Saturday nights.

Elrow is a colourful party full of confetti and has house and techno from the likes of Groove Armada, Yousef and Seth Troxler. Click here for more details.

Ushuaïa

The huge Ants nights at Ushuaïa has Richie Hawtin and Maya Jane Coles DJing at the second part of its launch party.

This year’s opening party for the Ants club night at Ushuaïa is over a double weekend with the second weekend on May 26.

Richie Hawtin, Adam Beyer, Maya Jane Coles and Francisco Allendes take to the decks on one of the island’s biggest opening nights.

Other nights in the calendar include David Guetta and Martin Garrix. Click here for more information.

Best Ibiza Pool Parties

Ocean Beach Ibiza

Ocean Beach Ibiza is the ideal place for a spot of people watching as the sun goes down.

If you’ve been to Ocean Beach then you’ll know it’s one of the island’s most fun day parties – and it’s perfect for people spotting as the sun goes down.

From acrobatics to glitter and even Cadillacs descending from the sky, parties are as much about what you can see as what you can hear.

This year Hed Kandi and Kisstory will be running parties, so get your best bikini on and chill out by the pool as you party in the sunshine in San Antonio.

Ibiza Rocks

Ibiza Rocks is the place to be if you want an epic pool party and this year is hosting Stormzy.

Ibiza Rocks has had a long and varied history since it launched on the island in 2005.

Initially home to indie bands, the hotel has now transformed into the home of the pool party and this year will host Stormzy for one of the biggest parties of the summer.

Craig David, Rudimental and DJ Luck and MC Neat will also perform at sell-out events there this summer.

Nikki Beach

Nikki Beach offers a more sophisticated and chilled out kind of daytime pool party.

If you want a sophisticated, laid-back day then head to Nikki Beach where you’ll find brunches, lunches and pool parties while you chill out by the pool.

This season Sintillate runs parties, and there are also white parties and a roller disco.

The beach club is known for its food and its mojitos, so this is a good place to head if you want to get away from the mayhem – slightly.

Beachouse Ibiza

Beachouse is the place to be if you want laid back music and some seriously good food and drink.

Another more sophisticated option, this beach club has laid back vibes and is situated in the heart of things in Playa d’en Bossa.

You an get an excellent dinner and lunch here and it is right on the beach – an ideal place to soak up the Spanish sun.

This isn’t somewhere you’d head with a rowdy group, so save it for the daytime before you hit the clubs later. Click here for more info.

Best Ibiza Bars

Café Mambo

Cafe Mambo is where people have been heading to watch the sun set since 1994.

This place is legendary when it comes to sunsets for a reason and is the place to head if you want to listen to house music as the sun goes down.

It’s also a good spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner, serving up decently priced food as well as classic cocktails.

Head here before going out to a club and you know that your night is going to start with a bang.

Café del Mar

Cafe Del Mar is another good choice if you want to check out the sunset and listen to chilled out music.

Another option for a chilled out sunset, Cafe Del Mar is all about low key music while you sip a cocktail and unwind.

Hi Ibiza – Ibiza’s Newest Superclub Opens This Summer

/in /by

There’s always a certain level of excitement that builds when the month of May rolls around. Sure, festival season is about to kick in and the sun’s trying its very best to poke out of the miserable British skyline but there’s one place that never loses its charm, never loses the hype and never goes sparingly on the build up.

That place is Ibiza and no matter how you feel about the dance music mecca, it’s always been the true home of hedonism, good music and a lot of fucking dancing.

Last year was a weird one though as the most iconic club on the island and one of the most revered venues on the planet, Space, shut it doors after 27 years, throwing Ibiza into a temporary state of uncertainty. However, last night that same club opened its doors once again under a new guise, with a new identity and a new legacy to build. Hï Ibiza is here.

With Ushuaïa at the helm and a complete revamp of the interior and exterior, the world’s greatest super club just got way more super and we braved the madness of the opening party to bring you the full lowdown.

The line-up for Hï’s first foray into Ibiza life spared no expense and it gave a good overview of the residents who are going to be in control over the coming few months. Black Coffee, Luciano, Joris Voorn and Kölsch all turned in some pretty special sessions and kickstarted their 2017 campaigns with serious fervour.

If you were there, you know, if you weren’t, then here are the tracks that helped Hï deliver on almost every level.

Ibiza, we hope you’re ready.
