Surprise! If you thought that was your lot party-wise, think again. Back from the dead, clubland reanimates on Tuesday 31 October for Ibiza's annual island-wide Halloween haunting.
Whether you're a creature of the night seeking adult-only nocturnal delights in a club or something children can enjoy too, there's a lot of choice to get involved in at this most supernatural time of year.
Forget what you are used to wherever you're from. On Ibiza, fancy dress at Halloween is compulsory. Everybody makes an effort and dresses up. Don't be a killjoy. There's no excuse good enough for not doing so.
Clubs - all Tuesday 31 October unless specified
Ethereal presents From Hell To Purgatory La Divina Commedia | Las Dalias & Akasha
Pay penance and crawl up towards the light at spiritual San Carlos, with an exploration of the afterlife and a confrontation of our sins unfolding in eternal damnation at Las Dalias and Akasha.
Taking inspiration from 14th Century Italian poet and philosopher Dante, Ethereal presents its Halloween edition called From Hell To Purgatory La Divina Commedia.
Starting early inside Las Dalias café from 20:00 with Maricha and Sena, the action later moves to Akasha club at 23:00. There, promoter Vito Masci invites party regulars Iban Mendoza, Medusa Odyssey and Aigua to play late into the morning.
The Night of Shadows | Club Chinois
Casting a foreboding cloud over the glitzy neighbourhood of Ibiza Marina is Club Chinois' Halloween offering The Night of Shadows.
This one has more than a little familiarity about it, as the premium nightspot invites SHÈN Ibiza host Franky Wah back to headline. He's joined by Trutopia, Manu Gonzalez and Fell Reis for a night that offers dark sanctuary to shapeshifting nightwalkers in a decadent environment.
Given some of the outlandish props and costumes we've seen on show at Club Chinois this summer, we’re confident its wardrobe is well-equipped to kit out the dancers in shocking attire.
Happy Halloween Closing Party | Es Paradis
If our last two options cater to the north and east of Ibiza, then our next one means that anybody San Antonio-based is looked after. Es Paradis combines its 2023 Closing Party with Happy Halloween for a wicked witch and pumpkin-inspired night of terror on the dancefloor.
Don't forget your broomstick.
