Could be a choice of a week in Ibiza or two somewhere else. Ibiza wins...for now. What happens if, say, the Costas open Ibiza style clubs? Torremolinos and Sitges have gay scene every bit as good as Ibiza (better??), and for fossils like me who love quiet, Menorca fills most of the boxes.
Some of Ibiza's most famous nightlife was originally based on Sitges, which was where Pacha began way back in the 60s/70s. Aesthetically I find bits of Sitges are v similar to D'Alt Villa. But nowadays, there isn't much left musicwise as the club crowd got older. There aren't any amazing clubs left now tbh anywhere. Platja D'Aro on the Costa Brava (near where I have an apartment) was amazing for a while (all the cool people went to Tiffany's Maddox etc) but the authorities killed it in the 90s and now weeds growing on the old sites. So the one-offs and festies moved in to fill the void. That's why nobody I know really goes out anymore and saves themselves for the summer. If you really want to do Spain on the cheap you have to go inland and go north. the campsites I stayed at a few weeks back were ridiculously cheap, 10-20€ a night and for me personally the north coast (esp the Basque area) is much more alternative musicwise.
