Nightlife in the Balearics: the guide to Ibiza's clubs (and the 2026 season)

In the Balearics, nightlife has a capital: Ibiza. The club season runs from late April to mid-October, kicked off by an opening weekend in late April. Pacha, Amnesia, Hi, Ushuaia, DC-10: here is which to choose, when they open in 2026, and where to go out on the rest of the archipelago.

When do Ibiza's clubs open in 2026?

The season kicks off the weekend of 24 to 26 April 2026. Pacha opens 24 to 26 April (with Marco Carola and Solomun), Hi on 25 April, Ushuaia and the new UNVRS on 26 April, and Circoloco at DC-10 on Monday 27 April. Amnesia, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2026, officially launches its season on 9 May. From there, the clubs run every weekend through to mid-October and the famous closing parties.

And the rest of the archipelago?

Ibiza keeps its monopoly on international clubbing, but the party spirit spills over elsewhere, in a different key. Formentera cultivates a bohemian, sun-soaked after-hours scene, between beach bars and sunsets; Mallorca concentrates its nightlife in Palma and around the bay; Menorca plays a calmer card, with festivals and village fetes in summer. Each island has its own tempo.
