Pikes’ history goes way back. Set up by Tony Pike in the 1970s, some of the world’s most famous names were frequent guests at the hotel, situated a short drive from San Antonio to the west of Ibiza.

Perhaps most famously, Freddie Mercury was a recurring guest, who even now has his own room named after him. To say you’ve danced in Freddy Mercury’s old hotel room is one of those things you could only really say in Ibiza.

Then of course there’s the swimming pool, made famous by Wham’s Club Tropicana music video, which was shot at the hotel. 

It’s all part of a venue that you get a sense has seen it all over the years. In 2011, Ibiza Rocks took ownership of the venue and modernised it to what the hotel is today.

From a club perspective, don’t expect a huge sweeping dancefloor as if you’re in a super club. No, what you should prepare for is more the feeling that you’re at a house party in the middle of the Ibizan countryside. To be honest, that’s pretty much what it is. It’s like nowhere else, and it is fantastic.

The club is not open every night, and the music policy varies considerably throughout the week, so plan your trip carefully. With that said, Pikes is not the sort of venue you simply stumble into, so if you’re heading there to party, you can be sure you’ll be there with some other like-minded friends.

Parties at Pikes usually have free entry, however you will need to apply for guestlist directly through their website.
