Pacha is the ultimate destination for anyone looking to be immersed in Ibiza’s cultural spirit and unique international clubbing experience.
Established in 1973 in the Talamanca neighbourhood, Pacha has grown to become the most respected and sought-after nightlife destination in a city saturated with entertainment venues. As you wander around this area full of bars and hotels, be prepared to encounter partygoers from all corners of the globe.
Pacha Ibiza is the epitome of “go big or go home,” with generously spacious rooms, over-the-top light and visual displays, and endless party options for guests.
With its extravagant offerings in full manifestation each night, it’s no wonder why Pacha Ibiza remains one of the hottest nightclubs in town.
Popular for its invigorating deep-house sets and performances by renowned artists such as J Balvin, Pacha Ibiza attracts crowds of all kinds keen on having a multi-sensory experience.
Guests at the Ibizan nightclub are as glamorous as Pacha itself, so dress stylishly to fit in with the wild club-goers.
For many years, The Pacha Group has proved their incredible worth and the original mother-club in Ibiza carries on this remarkable legacy.
Here is everything you need to know about Pacha Ibiza.
The original Pacha Club was not in Ibiza
Pacha Club was founded by Ricardo Urgell, the grandson of a Barcelonian painter and playwright.
When he started Pacha Group, Ricardo Urgell used the Catalonian Coast as his muse.
Although clubbers think Ibiza was the first ground to witness Pacha’s unapologetically wild character, the truth is the modest city of Sitges is where the club’s spirit streams from.
But Pacha started being inextricably linked to Ibizan grounds during the hippie 70s. Back in 1973, the clubbing mecca converted a traditional country house into the most dazzling jewel in Ibiza nightlife’s crown.
“Pacha” means “Arabian Prince”
Every club name has a story – but Pacha’s narrative throws some rich history and legacy into the mix. Pachá translates into Arabian Prince. The idea to christen the music temple came from Urgell’s first wife, Marisa Cobos.
When Urgell bought the venue, his wife would joke about how this entrepreneurial move would produce enough financial assets for Urgell to live the life of a pacha.
The logo’s main source of inspiration was make-up
Pacha Club’s iconic cherry logo didn’t come from anywhere. The design was inspired by the make-up of Carmen Sevilla, a renowned Spanish actor.
Since then, the cherry logo has gone through various changes before being printed on the club’s promo materials.
But the cherry pop art goes beyond being an aesthetically pleasing logo. Symbolically, the twin cherries embody the pursuit of lust, love, and self-indulgence.
The cherry fruit, known for its juicy flavor and deep-red complexion, is a fanciful metaphor for how the wild spirit of clubbers transforms on the dancefloor.
Pacha is one of Ibiza’s first clubs
A quick peek at its Ibiza tenure will make anyone realize Pacha was one of the first clubs to open on the party island.
Back when the hippie and disco movements were budding and Ibiza was less busy, Pacha opened its doors for whoever wanted to relish in unforgettable clubbing sessions.
Along with Amnesia, Pacha molded the blueprint for everything a clubbing temple should be. With over four decades of party planning under its belt, that’s anything but a surprise.
Pacha Club is one of the first few clubs that embraced house music
But the Ibizan temple’s legacy digs way deeper than what meets the eye. Although back in the early 80s electronic music was bashfully rearing its head, Pacha fell so hard for its bumpy beats that it transformed electronic music into its anthem.
Although that happened four decades ago, Pacha stayed loyal to its electronic-soaked roots. Locals adored it, tourists making their Ibiza debut poured into it and newbies labeled it as their first love.
Besides electronic beats and bullet-hard techno, the nightclub delivers the creme de la creme of funk, hip-hop, disco and R&B.
Only the best of the best DJs take over Pacha Club’s decks
Pacha Club is known for bringing some of the world’s hottest DJs. Notable names like Swedish House Mafia, Skrillex, and David Guetta graced the DJ booth with their slick, award-winning beats.
The venue features five rooms
Did someone say mini-festival vibes? Pacha Ibiza has been summoned.
With its five rooms, the partying destination can accommodate up to 3,000 clubbers.
At Pacha, you’ll find the large Main Room, which mainly plays house and techno, the Funky Room for disco enthusiasts, the Sweet Pacha for a sensational mix of retro pop, and the Global Room, dedicated to the finest R&B and hip-hop beats.
But if you need to unwind from all the partying and sip on a boozy concoction, make your way to the club’s Roof Terrace – a great lounge for chilling out.
Back in 2021, Pacha Ibiza was in the Top 100 Clubs
Pacha Club was ranked as the 18th best club in the world, with fellow international competitors like Omnia and Amnesia.
But like any other trailblazer, Pacha’s recognition doesn’t stop at one title. The club was further included in the Top 100 clubs list for more than a decade.
Pacha Club has also been nominated 11 times for Global Club by the International Dance Music Awards. With these jaw-dropping accolades, Pacha lives up to its title of a clubbing heaven.
Pacha Club was featured in a movie
Pacha Club was one of the clubs featured in the 2004 movie It’s All Gone Pete Tong. Directed in a mockumentary-drama style, the film tells the story of a deaf DJ.
Frankie Wilde spins the hottest hits for the Ibizan party-going youth and enjoys the hedonistic craze of the clubbing island – but his world crumbles when he discovers his progressive hearing loss.
The film didn’t go unnoticed – it won two awards at the US Comedy Arts Festival.
The Ibiza club underwent its first revamp in 2018
New year, new me – after four decades of delivering the ‘it’ clubbing sessions, Pacha made its 2018 summer debut with a fresh-faced remodeling.
Don’t worry – the iconic cherry logo, bohemian spirit and hedonistic approach to partying remained unchanged. In a bid to bring the clubber and the DJ together, Pacha moved the DJ booth to the dancefloor’s middle.
With the help of Barcelonian architect Juli Capella, corridor mazes, multiple dancefloors and eclectic bars kept their finca structure while bringing some fresh Mediterranean vibes.
From its unmatched decor to its stellar electronic sounds, Pacha Ibiza is the way to relish an ineffable Ibiza night to its fullest.
