Ibiza Opening Parties

Go straight to the dates >>>>>

Ibiza opening parties are an Ibiza institution. Every year the clubs sling open their doors to hords of raving Ibiza lovers for the first night of the season. Many Ibiza veterans plan their holidays around these parties as they're known as some of the biggest and best of the season.

Opening parties run from the middle of May through until the start of July when the season is fully in swing and everywhere's opened up. The opening night is often seen as a chance for the clubs to show off what enhancements and treats they've come up with for visitors during the off season- new sound systems, decor and residents are showcased and no expense is spared on booking the best Dj's.

If you're planning on heading out to catch the Ibiza opening parties make sure you get your tickets, flights and hotels well in advance. Many people travel out just to catch their favourite opening meaning particularly late June/ early July opening parties can pack the island out.

Predicting opening party dates

This has become a science amoung the various Ibiza sites like this one who all try to get the opening party dates up as quickly as possible, in fact before they even get announced. The reason for this is that every year we get inundated with requests from people looking to find out the dates in order to plan their summer Ibiza holidays around the opening parties of their favourite nights or clubs and the earlier you book, the cheaper you get your flights and hotels as many hotels popular with clubbers in San Antonio in particular ramp up their rates over popular opening party dates.

Predicting the dates of opening parties is fairly simple, we just look at the club calendar from the previous year and work out the respective dates for the current year, the pattern by which clubs in Ibiza open tends to be fairly consistent although the past few years in general the dates of the openings have been coming forward as promoters and club owners try to extend the season $$$!

Club opening and promoter opening parties

Typically Ibiza clubs will hold their opening parties first then promoters who put on nights at that club will  hold their own opening party in the weeks after.

For example last year the Amnesia opening party was on 13th June then promoter nights at Amnesia like Cocoon and Cream opened the week after.
