Pacha Ibiza

Pacha is Ibiza’s most glamorous club, a playground for the rich and famous. The Ibiza Town club is known throughout the world for its glitzy champagne swilling clientele. However there is much to Pacha than this, the club puts on top quality parties every night during the summer, and is the only big club on the island to be open all year round.

History

Pacha first opened in Ibiza over 30 years ago in 1973. It is often wrongly reported that the Ibizan version was the first Pacha, though that honour goes to the one in Sitges, North Spain. The club was built in the typical Mediterranean style of characteristic simplicity and whiteness. When it first opened, the club only consisted of two dance floors, a restaurant, terrace and garden.

The club grew more and more popular in 70’s and 80’s, along with Ibiza’s reputation as a party island, and then fully embraced dance music culture, and the DJ, in the 90’s. Since then Pacha has remained at the forefront of the Ibiza dance scene, with many of the world’s top DJs playing regularly. The Pacha brand has also grown, and there are now approximately 30 Pacha clubs worldwide.

Very near to the club now stands El Hotel, which Pacha made their own in 2003.

Location

Opposite the Marina in Ibiza Town about 15 minutes walk from the Port

Music Policy

House music is still the main order of the day though recently the club has branched out into hip hop and r'n'b.

The main room really gets going fairly late, around 5am. This is when the big names will be on and sometimes a few surprise guests as well.

There are other rooms away from the main room playing there own style of music throughout the club. There's the Funky Room you will find more soulful funky tunes and for a bit of Spanish pop head to Pachacha (on the left after you enter through the front door).

The residents include Australian born Sarah Main, Barcelona-born Angel Linde, and hip houser Andy B.

Inside Pacha

There are many different areas of the club, each with their own unique vibe. It’s a large place with a capacity for over 3000 but still retains an intimate feel unlike some of the other large clubs on the island. Its easy to get lost on your first visit to the club and it will take a few visits before you have managed to find all the different bars and rooms. There are 4 rooms of music at Pacha, about 15 bars, a terrace and a restaurant – good luck finding them all!

No matter what night you go to Pacha in the summer, you can near enough guarantee the place will be busy. Every night they put on a top quality event with big name DJs appearing and you will probably have to queue to get in.

Prices

The club is one of the island’s most expensive and will set you back about €60 (£40) for most nights. Drinks are on a par with most of Ibiza’s clubs so expect to pay about €10 (£7) for a beer, €12 (£8.40) for a spirit + mixer, and €8 (£5.50) for water. You need to buy a drink (and an expensive one at that) to be allowed to sit down in most seating areas at the club.

Pacha is not to everyone’s taste; it can be a bit too glitzy and not have the hedonistic vibe of some of Ibiza’s other clubs. Nevertheless, Pacha is a true clubbing experience; the club is spectacular, the nights always top notch and the music always of high quality.
