Es Paradis may not be as big as some of the other massive venues on the island, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in decor. Often described by the international press as “breathtakingly beautiful,” Es Paradis is simply one of the most stunning clubs in the entire Mediterranean.
Es Paradis, which is located in San Antonio, has been around since 1975 when owner Pepe Aguirre’s inspiration was brought to life by artist Lluís Güell, the same man that built the world reknown Cafe Del Mar. This venue boasts an almost all white interior, natural gardens, and a sunken, marble dance floor. Scattered throughout the club are 10 bars, 3 different dance floors, 4 private VIP areas, and 3 different ambients: Café Paradís, The Gallery, and Main Loungeroom.
Perhaps what Es Paradis is most well known for is their Water Party, which occurs every Tuesday and Friday night during the summer. Imagine the hot Ibiza nights, the sweaty, sexy people on the dance floor…now add 80,000 liters of water! The sunken dance floor gets completely flooded with massive amounts of water as the party turns into a wet and wild mess! And if you have been to the Es Paradis Water Party in years past, you should know it has been revamped for 2011 - so expect some new surprises!
Needless to say, if you come to the club on one of these nights, you should come wearing something that you don’t mind getting wet. Please note, per the Es Paradis website, they will not allow you into the club if you are just wearing your bikini or beach gear. You can, however, bring it with you and change shortly before the show starts.
And it’s not just about the Water Party, the other weekly parties at this Es Paradis include:
Mondays - Fabulush
Spain-based British Promoters European Vibe originally launched Fabulush at legendary Madrid club Joy Eslava in 2008, where it quickly became one of the beacons of the Spanish club scene. The Fabulush concept is inspired by the glitz and glamour of the Las Vegas club scene. Nightly and continuous performances offer the party-loving-public a feast of visual treats through aerial shows and burlesque style performances.
Tuesdays - Carnival Water Party

It is the perfect the blend of the hottest current tracks and Kandi’s classic dancefloor anthems from world renowned DJs.
Sundays - Urban Heroes
Launching in Ibiza this summer 2011, Urban Heroes is set to be the brand new urban super experience. Simply put, the very best in R&B, Hip Hop, Grime, Funky House, and Dubstep.
Since this club is located in San Antonio, you can expect the drink and ticket prices to be a bit more reasonable. On the other hand, if you are staying in Ibiza Town or Playa d’en Bossa, you will need to plan ahead to figure out transportation to the other side of the island.
