That could make sense, would that mean only from Midnight til 2am then?
Could be a loophole as the ban is supposed to apply to "nightclubs", the beach area couldn't really be considered a "nightclub", no?
Their "nightclub" license must surely only apply to the covered/enclosed area. 
..........or am I clutching at straws?

I've emailed my pal Gordon Edge, BB resident to get it from the horses mouth as it were, no reply yet.
6,500 views of this thread so far, must be a record of some sort.

Ibiza: DC10, Bora Bora, Amnesia Shut Down
08 June 2007
Clubs told to close for up to 2 months as island club politics ignites for another season...
This morning (Friday) news broke in Ibiza´s leading paper, Diario de Ibiza, that the Government has closed down three of the island´s best loved institutions: Bora Bora and Amnesia for one month each, effective immediately; and DC10 for two months, effective immediately.
The Government says its actions are a necessary response to reports from local police and Guardia Civil of the use and sale of drugs in these clubs during the 2005/2006 seasons.
The Government admits there is no precedent for shutting down clubs in Ibiza on these grounds, but it alleges drug use in these clubs created dangerous situations and damaged Ibiza´s tourism industry.
They also published figures indicating 450 people were caught in possession of drugs during last weekend´s opening parties, and that one hospital dealt with 11 people who had symptoms of drug intoxication.
In light of the fact more than 20,000 clubbers poured into Space and DC10 alone for the opening (not to mention the thousands who attended two parties at Privilege) those numbers seem like slim justification for such a radical and economically devastating move.
Ibiza makes the vast majority of its money during the summer season, and closing three of its biggest tourist attractions will have a terrible impact both on the seasonal workers, who travel from around the world, and the locals who rely on the industry for their main income.
The harsh decision also fails to reflect the reality that, while there are always some drugs in clubs the experience of Ibiza for a vast majority of visitors is a safe and positive one.
All the clubs provide security, medical aid, chillout areas, etc and even in the midst of crowds of thousands at, say, Amnesia, it is rare to see any serious trouble – either from over-indulgence or aggressive behaviour.
As ever, rumours and suggestions of politicking and bad blood are rife, but at the moment there is no real information beyond what is laid out in the paper.
Everyone in Ibiza – and those planning holidays here – will be hoping for a reprieve, as will the owners, promoter, workers, and DJs whose livelihoods rely on the clubs.
