Es Paradis in San Antonio Events and tickets

Second only in longevity to Pacha, Es Paradis opened in 1975. The spectacular creation of Pepe Aguirre drew people to the then sleepy fishing village of San Antonio. Es Paradis have hosted their share of hip parties but as the resort town became dominated by unsophisticated British holidaymakers so the nightlife on offer has gone down market. Modern-day Es Paradis is popular with youngsters based in San An but fails to draw crowds from further afield.

Directly on the waterfront of San Antonio, opposite the harbour. It's only a 5 minute walk from the West End! If you are staying down the Bay (Port d'es Torrent), the disco bus ferries clubbers back and forth all night.

As is usual in Ibiza the music varies from night to night and promoter to promoter, though Es Paradis showcases a greater variety than most. There's the fluffiest of trance courtesy of Dj Sammy, hard dance, old skool, urban sounds in the main room from the long-running Twice As Nice, and funky house at other times.

Quite unique in Ibiza, the decor is largely white and ornate. Think Roman columns and marble surfaces. The greenery is well-maintained and extensive. The main dance floor is round and tiered, and overlooked by the dj booth. Above the dance floor is podium populated by professional exhibitionists.

There are numerous levels and bars and another room for alternative sounds which runs virtually the length of the west wall.
