which should point out the djs with me are not just doing it for the money and we will never make the place uncomfortable
I think it's an honest statement, I mean if Luciano just wanted the money he would be doing Space on FRiday or Wednesday!

loving it!How good is that when you get the owner, explaining how the club is set up, I'm quite sure he is busy too. If I'm honest I'm going to give it ago, this might be the club we have all been waiting for...! Thanks Danny
I enjoyed the new layout in Pacha last year and it improved my experience some what, I might even try out this VIP thing myself as I wouldn't mind trying out a club without the over crowding.... Might try it this year and I am a VIP just choose not to use those areas as it can be a bit shallow. Mmm we shall see.
Even allowing for its location near Marina Botafoch, Ibiza Gran and all that signifies, I'm unsure of 25% VIP with a club capacity of just over 900. Impossible to tell from a plan - but it's odd having seated VIP 'enclaves' on the Amnesia balcony even though "non-bottle service VIPs" can use areas behind the velvet ropes leading round etc. for example. Depends on the atmosphere and crowd as to whether you can get away with it working in a more intimate 'mixed' space. "Us and them" is in some ways more inclusive overall laid out this way, but depending on how well the 'flows' work and whether the rest of the club is crowded this can lead to resentful feelings that so much space is taken over by VIP, whether or not this would in the alternative simply be replaced by more 'heads' rather than more dancefloor / chillout space. The outside parts look good.
Given where the club has parked its flagpole in terms of style (and Cipriani involvement), it would need to cater for VIP tables etc. at least to the extent it has and therefore looks so far along the lines you'd expect. The revenue/head from VIP areas is presumably needed to fund the DJ lineups in a club with such a small capacity (?) [Danny will no doubt point out if my between-lines reading specs need their lenses adjusting] - so probably looks about right for the likely target crowd.
Be interested to see what the other nights are to be. I wasn't tempted by the three announced so far in any other venue so at the moment nothing there for me, but there should be a good demand for those nights. Opening up any new venue is a challenge and involves a great deal of work.
Having grown bored of seeing bottle service crowds in clubs behind velvet ropes (am a dingy Warehouse party / Berghain type at heart clubbing-wise), I'd be lying if I said I was looking for 'service' in a nightclub. Plan Be excited me, but that was not to be !! However, regardless of whether a place serves up your style or not the effort involved to get things off the ground and launched is a considerable challenge that deserves due recognition ... even with some established nights to underpin things, and for those who are after the Bomba 'cocktail' they now have somewhere new to enjoy themselves.
So watching with interest as to how this new addition to the Ibiza Town scene pans out. The reduced rates night for island residents will also help quell domestic opposition and resentment - a tried and tested formula for a launch phase. I think it will attract some considerable support and approval.

This should be interesting and now with Yousef Zaher's Circus announced for every Thursday I know where I'll be spending a lot of time this summer.
Not far from Pacha then?It's after the lovely Podencos rotunda and before the not so lovely Gran Hotel...
Just to add my 2 cents
From the floor plan, it doesn't look like there's much difference in floor space from what there was at Penelope (last time I was in that building) and that didn't get overcrowded when I was there for the grand opening. Granted, these nights that have been announced are a bit more of a draw than Monza so the jury is still out, but I wouldn't worry about that smattering of tables.
Will Bombas lineups be added to the calendar? Or are they not big enough for that?

This club just gets better....
Personally the Subliminal night is the least fave of mine to attend but definately interested in the Luciano, Defected and Circus nights.
Fingers crossed Tongy takes one of the nights as he will pull in some great guests....![]()
Definitely thinking Tong may take the Friday night spot here.....
