from today's DDI:

:arrow: the institutions will fine the owners of the houses that do illegal parties
the institutions are firmly decided to persecute the never ending parties, not only in the clubs, preparing a norm to act against the ones organized illegally in private houses. the government prepares a legal procedure that will permit the guardia civil to stop these parties when discovered, fining not only the promoter but also the owner of the house.

To me this law seems pretty draconian and will be hard to implement. As other users have already said, what exactly constitutes an illegal or a legal party? It seems pretty excessive to me to ban people from partying in their own houses.
 
my guess is that they will introduce local by laws to the effect that if someone complains about the noise they will be able to enter on private property and charge the owners - much the same way it works elsewhere in the world

the problem they have is defining what is an illegal party and what isnt - thats where the sticky part comes in... followed closely by the lawyers ;)

the other thing that people are forgetting is that 9 times out of 10 they are not "parties in their own houses" - they are rented villas

the hotel association has been trying to get the consell to clamp down on illegal villa rentals for a few years now - there were 2 recent cases of heavy fines

whether the clampdown in villa rentals and "illegal parties" are related of course is another matter ;)

a. i doubt if the house owners will know anything about a party
b. if the noise, congestion, illegal substance use is causing problems then why is it excessive? houses are designed for a few people to live in, not for hundreds to turn up and cause a nuisance.
 
stephen is right but on the other hand it is kind of excessive to stop people throwing parties at normal hours in their private properties...
you need a licence to throw a party in a house at night in Greece but it's not the same about normal hours parties...

youre missing the point - why is it excessive to stop a party where a few people have rented a private villa and then invited half of amnesia to turn up - have an imported sound system, block roads, create rubbish and annoy all the other neighbours who legitimately live there and then bugger off the island 4 days later ?
 
i'm not talking about that big after parties...and to be more specific the cocoon after parties are mostly the ones that you are talking about...
but what about small parties with 200-300 people...i can't believe that these parties happening once a week or a month not in the same place but around the island are such a big problem...
 
let alone the opening and closing hours of the clubs and sound regulations...at least on Fridays and Saturdays there should be an exception...
come on guys it's ok to admit it...we're tallking about pretty strict laws here;)
 
200-300 people!!!! ???

you're having a laugh arent you ?

thats ok to have over 200 hundred people at a 4 bedroom villa with all the associated noise, nuisance factor etc ???

i can accept if youre talking about inviting a few friends round for a bbq or an evening party (50 maybe) - which happens fine but 200-300 people ??


its the age old problem of the minority of people who visit here and think that just because they are on holiday they can do what they like

i can just imagine what would happen if i went over the uk with a few mates, rented a house and did what you think should be allowed here....
 
So this 4:30 - 6pm opening law is going ahead then? I thought it had been forgotten about. Shame, its really not going to be the same with no daytime clubbing.

As for the Villa partys though, i can see where there coming from who wants 300 people blasting music next door to them while your trying to chill!

I do believe McRakin said something about this not affecting Bora Bora to much, which is always a good thing.
 
looks like the end for ibiza as a worthwhile PARTY destination :cry:

i'll probably go back in my 40's or 50's for a relaxing beach holiday, but that's about it.

however, i'm going to try to count my blessings -

(1) i had THREE great clubbing holidays there with memories to last a lifetime. 8) unfortunately some of my american friends who have always wanted to go and had wanted me to take them this year will never get that unique experience.

(2) with the balearics off my holiday list, i can now expand my cultural and travelling horizons further - top of my list for alternative holiday destinations this year are cuba, hawaii, and mexico.

still, it's a sad state of affairs...
 
oh fer gods sake

what, because they cant go to dc10 on a monday morning or space at 10am in the morning - and join the 100 or so other people who turn up then ??

or more likely never go in the first place...
 
There will still be loads of places to chill during the day with music and yes the clubs 'may' open at 4.30pm but that's not the end of the world? 4.30pm till 6am? The timetables will respect this new opening time and all it means is indiviuals clubbing at different hours of the day........however, we don't know what else lies ahead as yet so if thats all the governement are going to d,o I think things will be okay :D

i hate to bang on about this but we're only talking about 2 clubs - one of which, dc10 is not exactly a crowd puller, contrary to what everyone might have you think and space is not exactly crying about the later times *which still are not confirmed* since they are the ONLY club that operates outside of 12pm to 6am anyway

I personally have never been out to the clubs as early as 10am. Actually that's not true, my first year there I went to the Manumission carry on at space around 9am - and it was rammed! 8)

But anyway, we're not talking about a midday opening time are we? :!: It's probably going to be 4.30pm or 6.30pm, meaning that daytime clubbing on Ibiza is effectively over. Unless you count Bora Bora as daytime clubbing, which I do not. [Last time I was there I found Bora Bora to be a bit unpredictable - sometimes a great crowd and vibe, othertimes a few too many beered-up chavs for my liking.]

But I think this is about more than the loss of ~240 mins (or whatever) clubbing a day. Imposing such draconian restrictions will, I think, affect the whole atmosphere and carefree vibe of the place as a clubbing destination. I understand that that is probably the main purpose of the politician's proposals and of course they have a right to do that. Ibiza will still be an amazing island - with great scenery and restaurants, hot spanish people, and lots to do besides clubbing. All I'm saying is that if these changes pass, I see no specific reason to go there for a clubbing holiday. You go if you want - noones stopping you :)

what part of "only dc10 and space will be affected" dont people understand ?

eden, es paradis, amnesia, privilege, pacha and el divino all open at midnight and all shut at 6am - whether the law is extended to 12am, 4.30pm or 6pm this doesnt affect in anyway shape or form SIX out of the SEVEN clubs on the island

when will people get over this - the more people speculate and come up with rubbish the more that people *will* decide to not come here even though there's no need not to, and it just ends up being a self fulfilling prophecy

i'm still surprised every day that the clubs aren't making more of a p.r. fuss over this - there's a certain other island institution thats going from strength to strength and not sitting on its laurels and does very good pr... ;)
 
Come to london if u want proper after hours u can party from friday night till monday lunch time non stop if u want . Still Ibiza has best atmosphere whatever time of day but is a shame to lose these partying hours for those who truly like to keep dancing and not just see how much they can gurn
