There’s no doubt about it – Ibiza is the party capital of Europe. With its miles of sandy-white beaches, world-class nightclubs and party-all-night vibe, it’s easy to see why so many tourists flock here year after year in search of the ultimate good time! Here are 4 fun facts that show exactly why Ibiza is the perfect place to party.
Ibiza doesn’t just have clubs – it has Superclubs!
With so many clubs to choose from in this party mecca, it can be hard to know where to start, but for the full-on Ibiza party experience, opting for a Superclub is a good choice! Amnesia, Space, El Paradise and Pacha are all great clubs but for the ultimate dance party, Privilege is hard to beat. One of the oldest and best-known clubs in Ibiza, Privilege, which covers almost 70,000 sq. ft., boasts a huge dance floor – said to be the biggest in the world – and a history of celebrity guests and musical acts, with everyone from Gloria Gaynor and Tina Turner to David Bowie, Duran Duran and even the Godfather of Soul James Brown making an appearance over the years.
It Attracts the Crème De La Crème of D.J.s
Ask almost any D.J. where the ultimate gig is and he or she is bound to answer ‘Ibiza’! Any place with so many world class clubs is bound to attract the best D.J.s in the business and many who have got their start playing some of the smaller clubs in Ibiza have risen through the ranks to reach legendary status – and earning legendary fees too! While Pete Tong is arguably the most famous, many of the most popular Ibiza D.J.s have worked the clubs for years, building up a loyal following among the party faithful. In fact, Ibiza is so linked to D.J. culture, it even holds the world annual D.J. awards, attracting the best spinners from around the globe.
The Party Doesn’t Stay in the Clubs
With 57 beautiful white-sand beaches, up to 10 hours of sunshine a day and a temperature that never dips below 20˚C for 8 months of the year, you can bet that Ibiza partiers want to make the most of the great outdoors! In addition to its famous clubs, Ibiza is also home to the best beach bars where the party starts during the day and doesn’t end until the early hours. Sa Trinxa, Bora Bora and the Bossa Beach Club are all popular hang outs for sun-seekers, who love the fact that they can float right up to the bar without ever leaving their inflatable! And don’t forget the boat parties – no trip to Ibiza is complete without spending a day (and night!) aboard one of the many boats made just for partying. Complete with bars, D.J.s and pools, a boat cruise party is the perfect way to have fun while viewing the amazing beauty of the Balearic coast.
It gets Wet n’ Wild
For the more adventurous partiers hitting the ‘White Isle’, there are numerous options for water sports, a fun way to get the body into gear after a long night of clubbing! One of the best places for some wet and wild fun is Playa d’en Bossa, home to Ibiza’s longest beach. This 2.7km stretch of sand is lined with some of the best beach bars and hotels, and is the ideal place to take the party to the water, whether you opt for kayaking, paddleboard, jet skiing or something a little more high-tech such the ultra-fun jet-pack and hoverboard activities. Playa d’en Bossa is also home to the Aguamar Waterpark, one of Ibiza’s top attractions where visitors can get their thrills from slides with names such as the Kamikaze and Black Hole. On the opposite side of the island lies Ocean Mania, a must for all water game lovers! Located 50 meters out in the water, this inflatable water park features trampolines, high dives, rope swings and balancing beams – it’s the perfect way to have fun with friends before drying off, cocktail in hand at the nearby Ocean Beach Club.
As you can see, Ibiza really does live up to its reputation for being the ultimate party paradise – your only problem will be deciding which club to hit first!
