Guide to Ibiza

I'm traveling to Europe in just over two months with a couple of my best friends, Ibiza is at the top of the list of party destinations for us, so I thought I'd share what's motivated me to go and do a bit more research on the best things to do in Ibiza and share them with you.

The Clubs

So obviously one of the main reasons that people go to Ibiza is for the clubbing, this was a huge attraction for me. I've heard of a couple of clubs like Ushuaïa, Amnesia, Space and Pacha, apparently the clubbing experience is nothing like we have here in Sydney Australia. The clubs in Ibiza get huge name artists every weekend that only come to Australia max. once a year if we're lucky!

Check out the video of the Ushuaïa opening party for 2013

Watching this video makes me want to go to Ibiza like crazy! If the real thing is even close to this it will be absolutely amazing! It's like a festival in a club on a beach!

We just don't have anything like it. If you compare Pacha Sydney to Pacha Ibiza there is really no comparison, the quality of the residents is much better in Ibiza, no offense meant to Will Sparks, SCNDL, Tigerlily and Uberjacked who are all great DJs, they just are no where near the quality of the Pacha Ibiza residents, well in my opinion anyways. If you look at the crowd size, Pacha Sydney is held at the Ivy which is a huge amazing venue, but it just looks tiny compared to the crowd at Pacha Ibiza below:

Another thing about clubbing in Ibiza is you seem to be able to go to clubs every night, whereas in Sydney Pacha is only on a Saturday night at Ivy and the biggest nights of the week for going out tend to be Friday and Saturday.

Anyway I seem to have gotten a bit off topic, I've done a bit of research on clubbing in Ibiza and have some tips for Ibiza virgins like myself:

• because you can party in Ibiza every night of the week there are variations between the nights, so check the party calendars to see what's on
• consider buying tickets for events online because they can sell out, they're expensive too between 40-80 euro for one ticket
• drinks can cost up to 15 euro
• you must be 18+ to enter clubs in Ibiza
• the clubbing season starts from the end of May and goes until the beginning of October
• Ibiza is most expensive in August
• if you're going on a clubbing holiday look at the locations of the big clubs before you go so that you can book hotels near them
• none of the VIP will let you in if you're wearing short shorts!
• driving limit is two standard drinks

Other Things To Do

Oh so I seem to have forgotten to talk about all the other things you can do other than clubbing haha, you can go to the beaches, do watersports or an island tour, but likely you'll be too hungover recovering from the previous night out :p

I'll let you know some more tips when I get back from my holiday, but for now I hope this helps :)

Cheers,
