So, I have to give my opinion on Ibiza in 2025, knowing that I’ve been a regular on the island since 2007. I’ve done seasons there, and I’ve been more than 30 times since then. As for nightclubs, I’ve been to each of them around 100 times.
I don’t want to be that guy saying, “Ibiza was better before,” because that’s not my style—but honestly, it’s the truth. I find Ibiza really boring for a true clubber, and here’s why:
• Since 2021, sound systems have been restricted due to local laws, so the volume is low inside the clubs (it used to be something else, especially at DC10).
• Club closing time is now 5:59 AM! WTF! First, they killed afterparties, then pushed closing time to 8 AM, then 7 AM, and now 6 AM?!
Every clubbing destination in the world has its afterparties. In Ibiza, there’s nothing.
For a city where people have dinner at 10 PM and a club ticket costs €80, I’ll let you be the judge.
• Ticket pricing has become insane with the 1st release, 2nd release, 3rd release… model—each getting more expensive.
• There are no longer places like Bora Bora, Zoo Project, or The Kave, which had a real energy of freedom.
People don’t dance anymore! Let’s be honest—Ibiza isn’t about dancing anymore. Way less than in Miami, Paris, or Berlin! Every time there’s a drop, everyone completely stops and pulls out their phone, killing the vibe. The energy is gone !
So, why go to Ibiza today?
Definitely not for a proper clubbing trip. Other places are way more festive and free-spirited.
You go to Ibiza now to enjoy the landscapes, the sea, and maybe add two small clubbing sessions between 2 AM and 6 AM !
