Generally, Ibiza is famous for tolerance and its inclusive nature - this has been the case since the hippie days and has never changed. The clubbing scene as a whole is one big party where everyone is welcome, whether gay, straight, queer, transsexual or everything in between.
Glamour and extravagance have their place at many parties, dazzling outfits and personalities are celebrated and admired. Amazing dance shows and wild imagery combine to serve an up-for-it, mixed crowd of the young, brave and beautiful.
The only LGBTQIA club on the island is the small Lola's in Ibiza Town, it makes the perfect place if you don't want to go on to a big club and want to be out late, late.
LGBTQIA only
Lola's
This legend of gay Ibiza can be found below the city wall shortly behind the main portal into the fortified old town of Dalt Vila.
It has a late club licence so you can party on without leaving Ibiza Town. It's small in size, but that never stopped anyone, did it?

La Troya | Octan
2022 La Troya, the party which prides itself on being the best polysexual night on the island, moves to the small club Octan in Playa d'en Bossa.
Theatrically-themed nights add to the outrageousness, with legions of drag queens, performers and dancers all expressing in the wildest way the core theme of transgressive explosion, joy and madness. It's a club night that has been going strong for years and always stays fresh with constantly changing, awe-inspiring productions. You'll meet some crazy characters at this night.

Glitterbox | Hï Ibiza
Brought to you by the team behind the famous promoter Defected, Glitterbox is a party that offers the inclusive partying and fantastic vibes that the Disco genre is known and loved for.
In 2022, Glitterbox will be back on Sundays at Hï Ibiza in Playa d'en Bossa. The unleashed extravagance has always been popular with the gay community - lots of glitter and glamour await!
Gay, straight, queer or anything in between, this party is for everyone, in a place where prejudice and egoism have no place.
When: Early May to early October
Pacha
No actual gay night, but worth including as it is the big brother and granddaddy of them all, actually originating in Sitges on the Spanish mainland! It's the Ibiza club that made the brand famous and there's good reason: glamour, fireworks, high-end VIP services and fabulously staged theme nights. The question should be, why aren't you going?
New for 2022 comes El Baile. Brought to you by Storytellers Ibiza, El Baile is loosely based on the book of the same name by feminist author Irène Némirovsky. Subscribing to a notion of higher feminine energy, the party focuses on female talent with a strong LGBTQIA presence. As with all Storytellers productions, you can expect theatrics and an immersive element.
