About Black Coffee
South African music ambassador Black Coffee has a long history with Hï Ibiza, after being unveiled as somewhat of a surprise first headline resident in 2017. Eight years later, they are inseparable, having become renowned for offering one of the island's most colourful parties.
This year will be no different as the pioneering House DJ takes his Saturday night throne, conjuring his mesmerising mix of emotional and dynamic grooves every week and with House music shaman Damian Lazarus the ideal foil next door.
When?
23:30 to 07:00 every Saturday night, from 17 May to 4 October
Where?
Hï Ibiza
Platja d'en Bossa, Sant Jordi de ses Salines, 07817 Open in Google Maps
Designed for tourists, Playa d'en Bossa is a seasonal resort on the east coast.
Thanks to its generous stretch of beach (Ibiza's longest) and close proximity to all three of the airport, Ibiza Town and the island's largest concentration of clubs, holidaymakers from Britain, Italy and Spain all gravitate here.
Both the beachfront and the main drag are lined with bars, but in all honesty, the clubs are that alluring you might as well skip any prelude and report straight to the dancefloor.
You can catch the L3B disco bus from San Antonio or the regular L14 line from Ibiza Town. There's a taxi rank right outside the club and several more further up the road.

A man of faith, Black Coffee has attained god-like status in his homeland. In South Africa, he is widely viewed as one of the nation's foremost music ambassadors. His residency at Hï Ibiza has played no small part in cementing that.
35 years ago, Black Coffee was involved in a near-fatal car accident that rendered his left arm permanently paralysed. That he survived at all, let alone managed to carve out a music career on the global stage, is a sign of holy intervention.
Despite this experiences, Black Coffee is forever optimistic. He feels blessed. Though our host is a mere mortal man, we can understand why anybody who visits on Saturday nights might attribute supernatural qualities.
