Pacha, Ibiza, Spain
One of Ibiza’s most famous clubs and an absolute institution, Pacha is the ultimate night out on this party island.
Opened in 1973, it has been transformed from a former farmhouse into an international clubbing destination like no other. With its worldwide fame it is the place to be seen - where you can rub shoulders with the good, the great and the gorgeous from across the globe.
Boasting five different rooms (transformed with different décor each night), each with a totally unique sound, interlaced by stairs, doors and secret corridors, the club is an experience not to be missed.
Stunningly gorgeous dancers gyrate to the latest house tracks in the Main Room, where the VIP is in the centre of the action - the perfect vantage point to sip champagne, rub shoulders with the A-list and soak up the party vibe in style.
Get down and dance in the Funky Room, where house with a soulful twist graces the decks, listen to Latin flavours in Pachacha, or hang-out in the hip-hop-esque Global Room – the original main room when Pacha first opened.
The highlight for the cognoscenti is to sip a cocktail on the beautiful Roof Terrace, where the atmosphere is chilled and you can gaze at the Ibiza skyline scattered with stars.
Parties this year include David Guetta’s mega-successful F*** Me I'm Famous every Thursday and Friday stalwart Pure Pacha, including Basement Jaxx and Faithless. But, don’t be misled - the rest of the week is also jam-packed with superstar DJs, such as house music heavyweights David Morales and Erick Morillo, playing to the fun-loving and fashion-forward crowds.
No wonder this club is held with such affection on the island. They even have a saying to explain its unbelievable wow factor – ‘Pacha es Pacha’.
We can’t put it better ourselves.
