Space, Ibiza

Expect to pay from 20-40€ for parties at Space, with Sundays being more expensive. Your ticket usually entitles you to one free drink. Drinks are prices are the Ibiza norm with a Vodka Lemon costing 12+€ and a beer 8+€.

In 1989 a concert hall in Ibiza became the home for the concept the whole world knows as Space. Truly Balearic in its original incarnation, Pepe Rosello's program included live bands, flamenco shows and exciting electronic music.

One of its inspired innovations was opening in the morning, after the other clubs had shut. This, in conjunction with the introduction of music onto the outdoor Terraza caused a sensation. The Space Terrace went onto to become an institution in Ibiza and one of the most famous clubbing spaces ever.

In 1999, Home at Space (the precursor of We Love) changed the goalposts and Sunday became and all day and all night party, from 8am to 6am the following day. This coincided with the increase of other night time parties at the club, most notably Carl Cox's Tuesday residency.

Changes to design and size have transformed the club into a giant, with 5 different rooms and a capacaity to equal Privilege, but the famous Space atmosphere has prevailed.

Space enjoys something approaching cult status on the world dance scene. Dedicated clubbers fly in especially for the Opening and Closing parties, at which an outside stage is set up in the Car Park increasing the capacity by 5000.

Space has a much more modern feel to it than many other Ibiza clubs, with a slick Funktion One sound system installed and 5 different spaces: Terraza, Sunset Terraza, Discoteca, El Salón and Premier Étage. Each has their own focus, vibe and production depending on what day of the week it is.

The principal rooms are the Terraza and Discoteca, each with crystal clear sound and stunning visuals, especially the Discoteca, whilst the other spaces are likely to offer an alternative music wise but certainly no respite.

The club is located right under the flight path of planes landing at Ibiza's only airport. As the jets come swooping in, it has always been customary for the cheers to go up and the arms to follow soon after.

If you can try and visit Space on early Sunday evening or early for Carl Cox's night, you can get a feeling of how Space used to be when daytime partying was the norm.

Next to the Water Park in Playa d'en Bossa. 5 Minutes by taxi from Ibiza Town. Regular bus service.
