Spain
Two nights in one country: the island season that sets global club economics, and mainland cities that simply refuse to go home.
Cities
1 city with a published scene.
The national ranking
The rooms that matter most in Spain, across every city.
Amnesia
Two rooms, a terrace that fogs itself into whiteout, and fifty years of being the reason people book the flight.
DC-10
A low concrete shed by the airport runway with no interest in decor. The most serious dancefloor on the island and the one that most rewards arriving early.
Pacha Ibiza
The cherries. Older than most of the island’s clubbers’ parents and still the best-dressed room in Ibiza Town.
[UNVRS]
The island’s newest and largest room, built as a production spectacle first and a club second. Whether that is a criticism depends entirely on the night.
Hï Ibiza
Ushuaïa Ibiza
Daylight clubbing around a hotel pool, which should not work and does. Ends early by island standards, which is the point.
Pikes
A hotel with a tennis court, a folkloric guest list and the best small parties on the island. Freddie Mercury’s birthday happened here; the room still behaves accordingly.
Café Mambo
The sunset strip’s anchor. Come at seven, stand on the rocks, leave before the crowd does.
Café del Mar
Club Chinois Ibiza
Las Dalias
Cova Santa
Es Paradis
Octan Ibiza
Lío Ibiza
Cabaret, dinner, then a small dancefloor over the marina. Dress properly or do not bother.
