Intro

Ibiza in 2026 is not the same island it was five years ago. Some of the names on the door are the same. The line-ups behind them are not. Residencies have shifted clubs, genres have rotated, and a couple of the biggest nights of the previous decade have either ended or moved into a quieter phase.

This guide is built to do one thing. Tell you which residency suits the night you are trying to have, on the day of the week you are actually on the island.

All prices are in euros. Specific line-ups rotate week to week through the summer, so we have stayed away from naming individual artists where the season is long.

What our 2025 season told us

Roughly seven in ten of last season's Ibiza club-night bookings on tickadoo were for Friday or Saturday, and the single most under-booked night across the entire week was Tuesday. The takeaway is the same one the regulars on the island have been giving for years. The cheapest, calmest, often best version of your favourite residency is the one running on a midweek night you were not planning to use.

How Ibiza residencies work

A residency is a recurring night at a specific club, with a specific musical identity, that runs across the summer season. Most residencies run weekly from late May through to early October. A few extend into the closing parties through October.

The night defines the experience far more than the venue. The same club can feel like a different building on two different nights of the week. This is why the right question to ask in Ibiza is not "which club" but "which night, at which club".

The 2026 residency map

A high-level view of the major recurring nights this season. Genres are indicative, not strict, and most residencies will pull in adjacent styles across a long set.

Pacha

Old-school Ibiza glamour, central San Antonio access on the other side of the island, the closest the scene gets to a destination club rather than a destination warehouse. Strong across multiple nights of the week, with house and tech-house at the core and a softer, more vocal sound earlier in the night. Dress code matters here more than at most other clubs.

Pacha runs different residencies across the week, including Pacha on Saturdays: Flower Power, Pacha on Sundays: Solomun +1, and Pacha on Fridays: Music On.

Our verdict: the right pick for the version of Ibiza you can plan an outfit around. Best for travellers who want the polished, photograph-it-tomorrow night.

Hï Ibiza

The Playa d'en Bossa heavyweight. Two rooms running in parallel, a main room built around big-room house and tech, and the Club room which leans darker and more underground. The sound system and lighting are the technical benchmark of the island.

Our verdict: the room to book if you care about the production as much as the music.

Ushuaïa

Open-air, daytime through to midnight, the unmistakable Ibiza pool-party silhouette. Sound profile leans commercial and big-festival, with stadium-scale house and crossover sets. The crowd skews younger, the dress code skews swimwear.

Ushuaïa anchors several of the biggest nights of the week, including Ushuaïa on Thursdays: Martin Garrix, Ushuaïa on Fridays: Calvin Harris, and Ushuaïa on Saturdays: ANTS.

Our verdict: the cleanest "first ever Ibiza day" booking. A daytime-into-evening session rather than a full club night.

DC-10

The underground anchor. Located near the airport, no frills, no dress code, a sound policy that has not drifted in twenty years. House and tech-house, played long and played properly.

Our verdict: the room our most experienced clubbers say they would pick first. If you only book one underground night this trip, this is it.

Amnesia

The endurance club. Two rooms, a Main Room built for trance and big-room house, and a Terrace which is one of the most important rooms in dance music history. Sets run later here than almost anywhere else.

Our verdict: the place to be at 5am. Not a polite night. The right night.

Destino

The clifftop venue with one of the best sunset views on the island, hosting touring residencies that bring big-room sound to an open-air setting. Destino on Thursdays: Music On is a standout.

Our verdict: book this for a sunset-to-late-night arc that beats almost any other format on the island.

Club Chinois

The newer entry, opened in the last couple of seasons, sitting in the upmarket-clubbing lane with a strong restaurant-into-club model.

Our verdict: the cleanest dinner-into-club booking on the island. Worth the price gap if the night is built around a meal.

Pick by the night of the week

This is the most useful way to plan, because your dates on the island are usually fixed.

Monday

Historically one of the busiest residency nights of the week. Open-air pool-party energy at Ushuaïa during the day, big house and tech residencies across the bigger clubs at night, including Ushuaïa on Mondays: F*** ME I'M FAMOUS! and Pacha on Mondays: Sonny Fodera. Easy night to plan, plenty of options.

Tuesday

A quieter midweek night across the island, with selective standout residencies. Good for the underground end of the spectrum if you are choosing your nights carefully. As above, the most under-booked night of the week on tickadoo, which often means a better room-to-crowd ratio at the same residency.

Wednesday

One of the strongest underground nights of the week. DC-10 historically anchors midweek for the heads, and Pacha on Wednesdays: Baddest Behaviour covers the polished side. If your trip only lets you pick two club nights, Wednesday usually deserves one of them.

Thursday

The pivot night. The week shifts from the midweek underground crowd to the weekend-arrival crowd. Strong residencies including Ushuaïa on Thursdays: Martin Garrix and Destino on Thursdays: Music On, busier than Tuesday or Wednesday.

Friday

A peak night. Full residencies running at every major club, including Ushuaïa on Fridays: Calvin Harris and Pacha on Fridays: Music On. Book ahead and arrive earlier than you think you need to.

Saturday

The other peak. Many of the biggest international residencies sit on a Saturday because the weekend-fly-in market is at its largest, including Ushuaïa on Saturdays: ANTS and Pacha on Saturdays: Flower Power. Highest production values, longest queues, best line-ups in many cases.

Sunday

The recovery and the closing day. Pacha on Sundays: Solomun +1 is one of the defining residencies of the entire Ibiza season. The closing-party schedule in late September and early October centres on Sundays.

Pick by the night you want

Big production, stadium energy

Ushuaïa during the day, Hï Ibiza at night. The most polished version of an Ibiza night.

Long, deep, music-first

DC-10 or Amnesia Terrace. The two rooms where you go for the music itself.

Glamorous, dressed up, photograph-friendly

Pacha or Club Chinois. The rooms built for the version of Ibiza you can plan an outfit around.

Late, properly late

Amnesia. Sets here run later than most of the island, and the Terrace is the place to be at 5am.

Dinner-and-club in one venue

Club Chinois, by some distance, for this format.

Closing parties

Early October across most major clubs. The shortlist you build for this is different from the rest of the season, and a guide to closing weekend is worth its own post.

What to expect on price

Door prices for major residencies sit broadly in the €60 to €90 range in advance, often higher on the door if tickets are still available. Drinks inside the major clubs run from around €15 for a beer to €25 plus for a long drink. Tables start in the four-figure range at most of the bigger venues, and scale quickly from there.

A pre-booked ticket through tickadoo will almost always come in cheaper than walking up, especially on a peak night.

What to know before you go

Bring a layer. The open-air rooms get cold after sunrise. Wear shoes you can stand in for six hours. Eat before you go in, because club food is expensive and not the point. Carry a small amount of cash for the taxi back, because the queue at the rank can be long. And plan the journey home before you go in, not after, because Ibiza's taxi supply is not built for peak hours.

For everything else, our Ibiza experiences guide covers the broader strokes of what to do on the island.
