Help I am an Ibiza Virgin!
This is for all you who have never been to Ibiza before. Here follows a brief explanation of the club scene and how it works.
Typically you watch the sunset, go out to eat, then move on into town for some drinks, mingling and maybe a bit of a dance. From there move on to the clubs for a big night with your favourite DJ. Or perhaps try something new, like this day party below.

The Clubs
There are seven major clubs on the island of Ibiza:
- Amnesia - located in the middle of the island, near San Rafael
- Eden - located on the waterfront in San Antonio
- El Divino - located in the Ibiza Marina
- Es Paradis - located on the waterfront in San Antonio
- Pacha - located very near the Ibiza Marina
- Privilege - located in the middle of the island, near San Rafael
- Space - located in Playa d'en Bossa, near the beach.
In addition there are many smaller venues such as DC10, Summum, Underground, Extasis, Bora Bora, KM5 and more.
The Promoters
The Monday to Sunday entertainment at each club is programmed by the clubs and outside promoters from many different countries around the world and tailored to suit the unique environment that is Ibiza's party scene.
This means that the music played in each club varies from night to night and promoter to promoter.
Please check out our party calendar for the most up to date information available with full DJ listings for every party. Also see Ibiza Parties 2008 for descriptions of each night.
Examples:
Cocoon promotes Monday nights at Amnesia and book techno DJs to play (Sven Väth, Richie Hawtin, etc) and put up their decorations and promote the party around town. On Thursdays Cream take over the club - they hang up a big Cream logo and bring in their trance and house djs, like Paul Van Dyk and the Shapeshifters.
Just to confuse the issue all the major clubs, with the exception of El Divino, have a back room or alternative area which usually plays different music to the Djs in the main room.
The Music Bars:
Another vital part of the Ibizan club scene are the many music bars in the resorts and around the island. Here clubbers go to warm up for their coming nights out or to listen to music and dance in a more relaxed, less intense atmosphere.

Most of these bars have free entry and cheaper drinks, but still have great local and guest DJs. See pre-club bars and resort guides to see which bars we recommend.
Most of the bars do not get going until after sunset, so come prepared for a long and late night session.
Special mention must go to the sunset cafés along the Cala des Moro in San Antonio, known as the sunset strip. There you can watch the sun go down in a romantic setting and later dance on the beach to your favourite DJ.
Our advice:
- First of all check out our club guides, where you can get a feel for the different clubs, to see which one you might like to visit.
- Bookmark our club news and reviews page, which is updated almost daily in the summer, and browse through our agenda-setting archives.
- Check out our tips and tricks page, which is a must-read before you come. It will save you time and money.
- Check out our clubbing forums - don't be afraid to ask any question you like - there are many regular visitors who will be happy to help.
- When you are here, don't be afraid to ask other clubbers what they recommend. It really is a very friendly atmosphere on the island. Go to the Sunset Strip in San Antonio or the Port of Ibiza Town and make some new friends
