Hello Party People..!My most favourite place in the World.....and i'm sure it'll be yours too. There's so much for whatever musical tastes you have. Personally,I prefer the more sophisticated side,but theres plenty for you guys who enjoy living it LARGE.I won't go into any detail around where to go etc (reason being, sooo much variety), but if you can get your hands on a copy of Pacha or DJ magazine ( available from any decent record/merchandise/boutique outlets, they are free),thats all you need to get a feel for what goes on and where each night/ day....Ibizas what YOU make of it....You'll have a fantastic time....LIVINGIBIZALOCA....!

Laura
We were in Ibiza in July and satyed in an appartment upthe road from Savannahs the best twos clubs that are a must to visit are Amnesia for cream and armada and Es Paradis for the water party it just has to be done carnt wait to go back

Dave
A must do is, bora bora in the day on sunday then gradually move to space for we love space for sunday night, then carry yourself to DC10 for circo loco on monday day time!!! Now thats what i call a party!!

Natasha
I worked in Ibiza for 2 seasons, this is the first time I haven't been out for 5 years :-( Don't miss Manumission for the experience, do Ibiza town in the evening- its beautiful then Pacha, Bambudda Grove for the most amazing restaurant experience, Space and Bora Bora to get VERY messy! Judgement (just coz I used to work for them!) Do not come back without seeing a fantastic sunset at Mambos and hang around for the fire. you can never squeeze in everything but this is a start and if you ask a few locals you never know you might find Atlantis! Oh.. and don't sleep coz u'll miss out!

Tris
Space - best sound system, lights, atmosphere in the world! Amnesia, the megatron is awesome, you have to experience it! Ibiza is so amazing, i am listening to essential mix from cream as i write, I SO WANNA BE THERE!

AJ, Chicago

jamie

James
Tip 4 Ibz! Love every moment, take as many pictures as you can & stay close to your friends! Judgement Sundays rules San An, and cream rules at Amnesia... Even though it's hard, rest as much as you can between parties, it will make your experience all that more enjoyable!!!!!!!!

SteveO
Ibiza is a must for any clubber, if u dont go u will miss so much, i stayed in san ant last time and had a wicked time.This time the liverpool lads are off to playa d'en bossa, can't wait.One word AMAZING!!!!!

Rob
Been to ibiza every summer for the last five years , love everything about the place . Head for Bora Bora during the day , Mambo for sunset , Pacha on a friday night , Space on a sunday , Dc10 when you should be at work on a monday morning ! Have a good look around its a beautiful place and you'll be home before you know it ! See you down the front

Waldek
Ibiza has very much the best vibe if you like clubbing. Mykonos and Miami try to catch up with the venues but they are lacking the AWESOME vibe of the white isle.I thought the best parties this year were - Sundays@Space and Defected@Pacha. Best tunes: Djuma Soundsystem's Les Djinns and chillies "By The Way" mix.

Tim
Went to ibiza beg of july for first time amazin! check out manumission @ privelege on a fri night its mad! crema@ amnesia was off it the ice cannon!

Yssy
The water party at Es Paradis is a serious must and Manumission is off the scale. We also got on to the Gatecrasher boat trip on Tuesdays and although we were a bit dubious at first, it was breath-taking. I'm so envious of R1 being out there I can't bring myself to listen to Pete Tong from Mambo. Bring on next year!!!!

Adee
Make sure you go to the space opening or closing party once in your life, there is nothing else like it on the planet!!!

Graza
This year was my first week in ibiza and i can safely say it wont be the last. Cream at Amnesia on a thursday is awesome aswell as Judgement Sundays at eden. Favourite DJ of the week has to go to Eddie Halliwell but never managed to see Pete Tong unfortunatly. I will be back with the boys next year for radio1 week, cant wait, woohoo!!!!

Andy S
eat in pacha restaurant and get into the club free !!!! top tip save yourself 50 euro !

kieran
came back from ibiza a few weeks ago, it was our 4th time, its quite pricey everywhere now, but still bangin as ever!!I would recommend judgement sunday, cafe mambo and of course thursdays at amnesia!!

Darren
Only back from Ibiza Wedensday, Bora Bora was mad, and Amnesia on Thursday nights is probaly the best.

emily
stayed in san antonio bay. sat nite at es paradise for the water party constant dancing just waiting for the water to come and soak you - truely amazing then walking home along the front at 6 in the morning. what more can you want!

Steve
Ive been to ibiza 2 years in a row now and absolutely love the place!!If you want to really experience some awesome parties, go the following: the zoo project on a saturday afternoon, bora bora (any day) and dc10 on monday afternoons, the best nights in my opinion though are cream @ amnesia on thursday and subliminal sessions on a wednesday @ pachaAlso a visit to ibiza isnt complete without visiting mambo's to watch the sunset, and its even better if tongy is there to experience it there with you!

dave
take serious amount of vitamins with u cus u sure do get run down!! sunsets, dc10 , bora bora and space all a must. dont burn urslef 2 quickly cus u will spoil ur holiday by catching a bug or something!! just enjoy!!

Pricey
Best place for the sunset is Kanya!! The place is chilled...you can get a seat...best lasagne EVER...drinks bought to you!! Best food on the island goes to Villa Mercedes! All day long...best place on planet earth!!!

matt
i've been to ibiza the last 3 yrs and have to say this yr my best night was garlands at eden.went on the garlands boat trip 1st 6-10pm and it was superb would defo do it again. also had a great night at manumission.only another 12 months till i do it all again.

Caroline
You've got to go to Bora Bora and We Love Sunday's at Space, such a good way to spend your sunday!! Also Pukka Up, we went last year and it was ace, went without knowing much about it but it was one of my best nights there! We go the end of August, can't wait!!!

C
Best for Ibiza - Kumaras, the sunsets amazing but quieter than Mambo with a DJ in a giant chimney, amazing food, drink atmosphere right on the beach. Cant beat it. Oh and of course Space on Sunday nights

Helen
Been to the Disco Isle 4 times now and am totally addicted to the place...Es Vive bar is the perfect after party place to chill, Hed Kandi @ El Divino on sat nights, Carl Cox at Space on Tuesdays, must check out a band at Ibiza Rocks as well if there is time!!

Marc
Judgement Sundays is always a must. El Divino's always pretty cool too. Had a wicked time last year. Make sure you haggle with the promo girls in San Antonio to get a very good deal on drinks!

Neil
The best tip I can offer anyone visiting the White Isle is to stay off the beaten track, Ibiza has so much to offer and the best way to discover it is to do some exploring. All of the mainstream activities are well advertised so you will never miss them! A boat trip to ES Vedra is well worth the money, Salinas beach in the mid afternoon also comes highly recommended. If you are staying in the Bay area make sure you stop in at Bay Bar for a drink on your way back to the Hotel around 3am - It's the perfect way to unwind, with waiter service and comfy cushions even beds to sink in to.

Joe
Ibiza Old Town is the best place to stay and Space on Sunday is the the best club night. I love Ibiza and I can't wait till next year!

Ross
For the best meal on the Island go to Elephant bar in San Rafael on your way to Privilege for the 'Slutfunk' night. Enjoy the models catwalking around you. Breathtaking views.

Ross
After a big club night chill out at Atzuro Health Spa at the 15km marker on the way to San Juan. Then go back there on a Wednesday night to the outdoor bar, lie back on one of the four poster beds and relax to the tunes of Jose Padilla, the king of the Balaerics. Surreal experience and one of the best nights I had.

Audrey
My tips for Ibiza...Pacha Pacha Pacha...wow that club is AMAZING! and Amnesia - what an atmosphere, nowhere in the world like this Island - heading there tomorrow!!!

Paul
Cocoon at Amnesia is a must for clubbing. Techno at its best. Also the Curry Club restraunt at the top of the hill up from cafe del mar is a must. The food is fantastic.

Jess
I went to Ibiza 2 weeks ago, and am going back tomorrow for the R1 weekend!Pure Pacha is the best, my song for this summer....Andio - Big Love

kev
The boozer in the west end is the best bar, big up to john the owner, and the best night by far is cream, eddie halliwell rocked it, also give judgement sundays and tidy a go,finally the shipwreked boat party is a must on a thursday morning.

Chimpy Guildford
Been there many times, the first was in 1996, great memories of 2003 with P diddy doing is stuff, had some very good nights in Amnesia, looking forward to the R1 Weekend.

Louise
Go to Judement Sunday!!!!!! Amazin!:Dalso u cannot miss the water party in es paradice, incredible!!best week of my life. id go back in a Heart beat x

Sarah
I've been to Ibiza twice and both times Judegement Sunday at Eden were the best nights by far..Judge Jules is a legend!

Eleanor
Pukka Up party on Monday nights. I HIGHLY recommend the sunset cruise party to begin with. Starts around 6/7 pm in the evening. 4 hours sunset cruise. It was one of the highlights of my holiday. Look them up on the internet. What a great bunch of people!

Charlotte
Hi,I went to Ibiza in June and loved it so much we are going back in September. We stayed in San Antonio. The best bars are: The Cat and Parrot, Alan and Debbie's Little Britain and Blackbeards. Say Hello to Alan and Debbie from me!
