Playa D’en Bossa
If day parties are your thang, Playa D’en Bossa is the place to be. Nowhere else on the island has attempted to compete for the day trippers, so it’s all about staying in bed or working on your tan unless you make the pilgrimage. If you’re heading to Space I strongly advise that you wear swimmers underneath your get-up. It’s good to use your pass-out and zip over to Bora Bora (when it re-opens!) for a dip and a dance. A word of warning for the ladies; be sure to check your make-up before you resume your Space cadetship!
NEWSFLASH – DC10 was permitted to re-open for their Circo Loco party 25th June, just two weeks into the two month ban that was imposed on the venue. Accusations have been flying around that the ban was a corrupt attempt by Space to eliminate the competition even though DC10 doesn’t open its doors until after Space closes. Sadly there’s no further news of bans being lifted on Bora Bora or Amnesia, both of which only received one month bans; go figure.
DC10
Italians Antonio and Andrea Pelino opened DC10 in 1999. Situated a stones throw from Ibiza airport, this club is basically an old aircraft-hanger painted black with an impressive sized concrete terrace for those craving fresh air. Fancy décor would be wasted on the sunglass-wearing wastoids who thrive on the dim surrounds, where their eyeballs can loll in peace. Frequent this venue (energy permitting) after We Love Space for Circo Loco (Crazy Circus) – a must. It may sound daft, but it’s worth having an early-ish night out on Saturday, then setting the alarm for a decent breakfast before Space on Sunday, and larging it right through into Monday.
While other clubs may attract the beautiful people, Circo Loco’s proud to be “the party where the beautifully wasted come together in Ibiza”. Coulrophobics (people scared of clowns) should enter with extreme caution; the club’s logo is a demented-looking clown with different coloured eyes. It makes Pennywise from Stephen King’s ‘It’ look like a Cupey doll. If this image emblazoned on every spare inch of space doesn’t ruin your high, the fact that punters tend to dress up as clowns may. Take note of the Spanish pronunciation; ‘day-thay dee-eyth’. Taxi drivers will understand this destination immediately and you’ll be prepared for that Spanish hottie’s invitation to kick on post-Space.
