The original iconic clubbing brand

There’s no better place than Pacha if you want to experience the true essence of clubbing in Ibiza. It is Ibiza’s original, iconic clubbing brand that has attracted the world’s biggest artists in music for 6 entire decades.

The club remains the spiritual home of an Ibizian and makes many call the jewel in the crown of nightclubs all over the world whilst its double cherry is now know the globe over.

Pacha Ibiza History

In 1967, brothers Ricardo and Piti Urgell opened their first nightclub in Sitges, near their hometown of Barcelona. The name Pacha originated from a remark from Ricardo’s first wife that they would be able to “live like a Pachá” (an Arabian prince) due to the money that they would earn from their venture.

Skip forward 6 years to 1973. Having seen the booming popularity of the island in a post-Franco (Spanish dictator) world, the brothers set their sights set on Ibiza. They purchased a plot of land just north of Ibiza Town in Talamanca which had nothing but an old Spanish farmhouse (or “finca”) on it.

Pacha Ibiza was built, and the rest is history. Unlike many clubs in Ibiza, Pacha normally stays open throughout the winter (before COVID-19), showcasing local and international talent.

The Pacha group built a hotel next to the club, and also own other nearby venues including Lío, and Destino (a luxury hotel in the hills a short distance away).

The original club in Ibiza is nw looking better than ever after an extensive refurbishment in 2018, and we’re looking forward to seeing the latest additions for the next seasons.

Club Information

Pacha Ibiza’s capacity can afford up to 3,000 people.

There are two rooms at Pacha, though you’d be forgiven for thinking there was only one. The main room is the centerpiece of the entire club. Its dancefloor is slightly sunken to the ground in the centre of the room, with the DJ booth raised immediately adjacent to the main VIP area. That VIP has a strong presence emphasis throughout the club. Other tables are dotted around at various levels in the room.

As you explore the club, it’s quickly evident you have a variety of choices to get a viewpoint of the main room’s DJ booth. There’s a large outdoor terrace with plenty of seating options to give you a short break from dancing and grab a drink.

Meanwhile, Pacha’s second room is more of a hidden gem. The Pachacha Room is located on your left as you enter the club, and is a far more intimate venue to catch a set if the main room is too packed.

Pacha uses a d&b V-Series sound system, and a HARMAN Martin lighting system.
