Octan is Ibiza’s newest club, bringing an underground vibe to Ibiza that was sorely missed for much of the 2019 season. You may have visited before… the venue formerly occupied by Sankeys reopened its doors in July 2019 after much deliberation over the future of the club.

Located just a stone’s throw from Playa d’en Bossa, the location is perfect for the large population of clubbers who are staying on the east of the island. It’s the perfect antidote to the glitz and glamour of superclubs Hi, Ushuaia and Pacha, all of which are located nearby.

Indeed, Octan is a different Ibiza clubbing experience altogether. Its main space, the Basement, has low ceilings, minimal lighting, and has undoubtedly intimate-feel about it, yet it still has a capacity of over 1,200. “Gritty” is a good way to describe it, as Steve Lawler explained in his interview with Mixmag during the club’s launch. His Warriors night was a mainstay at Sankeys, and is still the only real “residency” of the club since it emerged back on the scene.

Add some other rooms to party (including a decent sized roof terrace). Scrap the VIP areas, throw in a pumping VOID soundsystem, and a renewed focus on the clubbers’ experience (think queueing, toilets, entry, bars) and you get an idea of how things are being reimagined at the club.

With a series of successful one-off parties under its belt, and lots of improvements throughout the club being prepared for the upcoming season, there’s clearly a lot to be excited about at Octan. And if you can’t wait for the summer season to get going, Octan has a winter schedule with the club opening most weekends too.

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.

O Beach Ibiza (formerly Ocean Beach) celebrated its 10th birthday in 2022, and has proved time and time again that it consistently offers the best daily pool parties on the island throughout the summer in San Antonio.

O Beach is about good times, great music, and a VIP experience at the most affordable prices you will find on the island. With such a winning formula, it’s no surprise that the club is now open every day of the week.

O Beach is set for its biggest season to date in 2025. And we’re ready for it!

O Beach Ibiza started life as Ocean Beach Ibiza, opening its doors in 2012. Business partners Tony Truman and Duane Lineker had a vision to create a ‘daytime destination’ on the west coast of Ibiza, with San Antonio being the perfect location for the venue.
Both Truman and Lineker had significant experience running businesses in Ibiza already. Truman brought his business acumen and party promoting experience. Lineker had already seen success alongside his father Wayne in operating venues in San Antonio such as Lineker’s bar, opening in 2008.

Seeing the emerging demand of daytime partying on the island, the partnership came together to open Ocean Beach Ibiza. Since then the club has gone from strength to strength hosting themed daily pool parties that attract clubbers from all over the world.

In 2018 the club’s name changed from Ocean Beach Ibiza to O Beach Ibiza due to trademark issues.

O Beach Ibiza has capacity for up to 2,000 guests.

The venue’s layout means that the main stage receives great views from nearly every part of the club. There’s a raised roof garden to the north that looks over the rest of the venue and out towards San Antonio Bay: this is the best place to get away from the madness too!

The VIP area has the best views of the stage, with an assortment of beds both in the pool and right next to it. There’s also a Jacuzzi garden table which can take up to 8 guests. 

The music policy is by and large classic and modern house. Parties range from the classic sounds of Hed Kandi, to the more contemporary Kisstory and Soul Heaven. O Beach offers something for clubbers both young and old!

D4 Dance returns on Mondays, which sees some of biggest names in house music at the club every week courtesy of Defected records. It was one of the biggest newcomer pool parties on the island last season for good reason.

And don’t worry, you don’t need to book a VIP bed to get in. Many parties cost €20 entry when buying advance tickets, which is fantastic value for a party you won’t forget. 

O Beach opens its doors on Friday the 25th April 2025 for its soft opening.

Its Grand Opening Party takes place on Friday the 2nd May 2025.

The O Beach Closing Party takes place on Sunday the 12th October 2025.

Remember to bring your swimsuit – we’ll see you by the pool!

Boasting incredible views of Dalt Vila and the Old Town from its Talamanca location, Lío is an extremely versatile venue that offers everything from cocktails, cabaret, and clubbing into the early hours.

You can see the venue transform throughout the day from restaurant, to cabaret venue, to full blown club after 1am. There are not many venues in Ibiza that can pull off such a wide offering – a trip to Lio is one you’ll remember for a long time.

The crowd is more mature, and dresses to impress. It’s likely you’ll rub shoulders with some of the famous guests that frequent Lio on a very regular basis… don’t forget to play it cool ?

From a clubbing perspective, Lío has diversified considerably in the last few seasons. With residencies from Felix da Housecat, 2manydjs, and Sebastian Gamboa, you won’t struggle to find a party that matches your taste.

If you’re looking for an all encompassing entertaining night when you’re in Ibiza, Lío is definitely worth considering.

Located a short drive from San Antonio, Benimussa Park began life as a zoo, and is now the home of the Zoo Project’s weekly parties in Ibiza.

As you can imagine with a former zoo, the entire space is open air, and there are plenty of spaces to explore including swimming pools, large dance floors, and the infamous seal pit. 

Whilst the venue is synonymous with The Zoo Project, the venue has been used for other one off parties in recent years. In 2019, both Cocoon and We Love… both host events at this versatile and very fun venue.
