Exploring Ibiza’s nightclubs

When it comes to clubbing in Ibiza, there’s certainly no shortage of quality clubs on the island. There are three main clubbing resorts in Ibiza; Playa d’en Bossa, San Antonio, and the Capital, Ibiza Town.

All three have rich offerings, however Playa d’en Bossa is the best for beach front nightlife. Lying on the east of the island, it is home to the longest stretch of beach on the island. In this area, you will find many smaller clubs like SWAG, which are ideal for cutting the long lines and beating the crowds. However, it is also home to the world famous open-air super venue, Ushuaia. There’s also Hi Ibiza, which was voted the number one club by DJ Mag for two years in a row.

Next up is San Antonio, lying on the West coast of the island and home to the world famous sunset strip. San Antonio has a very lively town center and many bars and low key nightclubs.

However, if you’re looking to go big, San Antonio is also home to the legendary open-air club O Beach, open day and night. Larger clubs Eden and Es Paradis are also in this area and lie along the picturesque palm tree promenade.

Not to be forgotten is Ibiza Town, the Capital of Ibiza. Ibiza Town is home to the super club Pacha, known for its legendary music scene and internationally known events calendar; including Marco Carola this spring. For those that prefer a quieter club scene, there are also smaller clubs Lio Ibiza and Club Chinois in the area.

The best casinos to explore

For those that also enjoy a traditional casino game here and there, or just those that need to get some cash back after a few wild nights at the club, Ibiza has some fantastic casinos located on the island.

The Ibiza Gran Hotel and Ibiza Casino is one of the most lavish casinos you could come across. The casino resort is one of the most expensive around but is worth a visit for those that get the opportunity. As well as a poker room, casino bar and main gaming room with many table games available, there is also a variety of slot machines on hand too. The slots aren’t themed, unlike online versions like the Starburst slot, but there is something magic about spinning the reels after a day of sitting in the sun. There are 45 gaming machines in total, 8 table games, and three poker tables meaning there is plenty to choose from.
