Youll be hitting Ibiza at possibly the busiest time. Some hate it in August, but personally i love it as everywhere is packed and its a cool atmosphere. Horrid if you're working there mind!
Anyway... the clubs...
Amnesia - best club on the island now, the terrace is Ibiza to a T
Pacha - Its an institution. Expensive, yep, but you gotta go
Privelege - Massive, if theres a night that fills the place its inspiring
Space - Personally, i dont really like it anymore, the magic has gone with the day clubbing, but its still got some awesome nights, Carl Cox and Friends in particular.
El Divino - Good club, smaller, and just make sure you DO NOT go Hed Kandi, its shocking. If you go to an El Divino night go to MN2S or Louie Vega
Eden - Apparently it got better last year with a re-fit. Still too much like your local Ritzy for me.
Es Paradis - Its a beautiful place, and the interior is stunning, but it just hosts some awful, awful nights there. Pick it up and drop it anywhere else on the island and itd be tops. Dont waste your time there unless you want to see the interior. Just dont stay!
Gala Night - You'll probably find yourself here on a saturday afternoon if you're with a big tour operator. Its simple and a good laugh
Extasis - just dont even entertain going
Underground - This place is for the in the know posse. Good, but can be pretentious with a large local crowd
Cafe Del Mar is most definately worth a visit, its on the "Sunset Strip" - which is a collection of bars that are busy at sundown time. Cafe Mambo is the best of the Sunset Strip now, Cafe Del Mar is the oldest there and mostly popular with the local, older crowd.
And Bora - Bora? Its **** now really, go to say you've been, but you'll be seriously unimpressed now that its been shut down by the authorities.
In a nutshell - Make sure you go to Amnesia, Space, Pacha and maybe Privelege. Hire a car and explore. Its a good way to kill the hangover or comedown 4 or 5 days into your holiday, by which time you will be struggling. Just drive somewhere, anywhere!
If you're staying in San An, make sure you go to Ibiza Town one evening at least, its a much better cosmopolitan night out.
Make sure you dont end up at Eden most nights
Make sure you dont go to Es Paradis more than once!
Go out in San Antonio and ignore the snobs that say the West End is ****. It is what it is, and if you're after wall to wall drinking, thats the place
And always, always get out of bed by 1pm. You'll regret it if you stay in bed until the afternoons, trust me, if you dont get out of bed, that 10 day hangover does not get better!
