About Space Club Ibiza

A cosmopolitan isle since ancient times, Ibiza was taken over by the hippies, who made it their refuge and brought music culture with them; it was the beginning of what it is today: the most famous island around the world.

In 1963 I began a new business and opened the very first disco in Ibiza, in San Antonio; I called it Playboy, which was a very transgressive name for the time. It was something completely new, we had live music and there were many famous faces, internationally known, who visited and left their stamp on the place. It was here, in Playboy, where disco music started to sound for the first time, a crazy and unthinkable sound for Ibiza until then.

From San Antonio to Playa den Bossa, I took a leap across the island to what still is today the apple of my eye: Space Ibiza. It was a concept I had in mind, a dream really, of people dancing in broad daylight. And we made it, we got through the people, we transmitted the happiness that I imagined when dancing under the sun. It was a ground-breaking idea, we opened when no one else did, I think that dancing in daylight is something special, and so did everyone else, it was a total success. Ever since, Space Ibiza has been the icon of daylight parties.
