Hi Ibiza: Tale of Us and the Bathroom Party
Hi Ibiza is the place to be if you love cutting-edge techno and house. Seeing Tale of Us was a surreal experience, with their emotive, atmospheric beats creating a hypnotic vibe throughout the night. The venue itself is world-class, but a unique highlight was the party in the bathroom. Yes, you read that right! Hi Ibiza’s bathrooms turn into mini-clubs, complete with a DJ and a bar, offering a totally immersive experience. It’s one of those “only in Ibiza” moments that makes Hi truly stand out.
Tip for Future Travelers: Get there early to fully explore the venue and experience the different rooms and themes. The production is top-notch, and you won\’t want to miss a single beat.
Elrow at Amnesia: A Wild, Themed Extravaganza
If you want an unforgettable, out-of-this-world party, Elrow at Amnesia is a must. Known for its wild, over-the-top production and quirky themes, Elrow transforms the legendary Amnesia club into a surreal playground. During my night there, the confetti showers, colorful performers, and inflatable props filled the air, creating an electric atmosphere. Every corner of the club felt like a new adventure.
The music is typically high-energy house and tech-house, perfect for dancing the night away. The vibe is fun and carefree, making it the ultimate party for anyone who loves a good spectacle.
Tip for Future Travelers: Wear comfortable shoes—between the dancing, the crazy crowd, and moving around to see everything, you’ll be on your feet all night long.
Solomun at Pacha: Deep Vibes and an Intimate Atmosphere
Pacha is Ibiza’s oldest and most iconic club, and catching Solomun there is an experience not to be missed. Solomun’s sets are soulful and deep, blending house and techno in a way that’s both powerful and emotional. Pacha’s atmosphere is slightly more intimate compared to other venues, with its multi-level layout and iconic cherry logo. The crowd was in sync with Solomun’s smooth transitions, creating a unique connection between the DJ and the dance floor.
Tip for Future Travelers: Pacha gets packed quickly, especially for Solomun, so it’s worth getting a VIP table for a bit of extra space and comfort if you can splurge.
Staying at Destino and Ushuaïa: Partying Where You Sleep

We stayed at both Destino and Ushuaïa, two of Ibiza’s top party hotels, and they each offered their own vibe.
- Destino: A more relaxed vibe with incredible daytime parties. The pool parties are legendary, offering great music in a beautiful open-air setting with views of the Mediterranean. It’s the perfect way to ease into a night of partying.
- Ushuaïa: Known for its incredible poolside stage and open-air club atmosphere, it’s an epic spot for big-name DJs. Expect high-energy sets, amazing stage production, and performances that rival some of Ibiza’s biggest nightclubs.
Both hotels offer the unique luxury of partying right at your doorstep, so when you’re done, it\’s a short walk back to your room to recharge.
Tip for Future Travelers: Booking early is key, especially if you want to snag a room during high season or when a major DJ is playing.
General Tips for Ibiza Party-Goers
- Timing is Everything: Clubs in Ibiza don’t really get going until after midnight, and the party often lasts until sunrise. Plan your nap times accordingly!
- Hydrate: Between the Mediterranean heat and dancing for hours, it’s easy to forget to drink water. Always stay hydrated, especially if you’re hopping between venues.
- Dress Code: While Ibiza is fairly casual, some clubs (like Pacha) lean more towards chic attire. Be prepared for anything from festival outfits to upscale clubwear, depending on the venue.
- Tickets: Pre-book your tickets online to save money and skip the long lines at the door. Prices can be higher if you buy tickets on-site.
- Getting Around: Taxis and shuttles are common ways to get between clubs, but if you’re traveling with a group, it might be worth renting a car to explore the island and save on transport.
Conclusion: The EDM Lover’s Paradise
Ibiza in July is the ultimate destination for anyone who lives for electronic dance music. From the surreal and immersive experience at Hi Ibiza, to the chaotic fun of Elrow at Amnesia, and the deep, soul-stirring beats of Solomun at Pacha, each club offers something uniquely magical. Add to that the incredible hotel parties at Destino and Ushuaïa, and you’ve got yourself an unforgettable trip filled with world-class music, incredible venues, and endless dancing.
For future travelers: pace yourself, book your tickets in advance, and soak up every moment of the magic that Ibiza’s nightlife has to offer.
