Privilege, Ibiza Club, off the Ibiza Town/Sant Antoni de Portmany road at Sant Rafel tel 971 198 160, .

Home to Manumission and Renaissance and used by MTV in the 2001 summer season. Daily mid-June to late September, midnight-7am, and later on special party nights. Admission: €30-48; drinks from €6.

Space, Ibiza Club, Platja d'en Bossa . Uniquely, this vast club-cum-bunker on the beach is essentially a day club, (opening its doors around 9am) though it's also now starting to promote some night-time dance sessions. Split into two distinct parts: a shadowy, moody interior with pounding techno and trance, and a delightful open-air terrace where DJs play Balearic, and funky house mixes. The most cosmopolitan clubbing crowd in Ibiza gathers for the legendary Sunday session, extended in recent years into a 22 hour carry-on-clubbing marathon. Only for the hardcore. Admission €30-48.
