The glass-roofed Terrace where the Balearic beat was born — a summer-only Ibiza superclub that swings from Sunday house to Wednesday techno till sunrise.
House, tech-house and techno across two rooms. The Main Room (Club Room) and the huge glass-roofed Terrace each run their own line-up, so the sound shifts by night. In 2026 the house-leaning nights are Pyramid (Sundays, from 8 June), Amnesia Presents with Ben Hemsley & Kettama (Mondays, from 23 June), Do Not Sleep (Thursdays, from 15 May) plus disco-house from Glitterbox — while RESISTANCE (Wednesdays, from 23 July) is the pure-techno night. This is the historic home of the Balearic beat, and Sven Väth's Cocoon lived here for years; treat Cocoon as heritage, not a current 2026 residency.
- DOOR
- Not a face-control door — if you have a valid ticket and you're 18+, you're getting in. The gatekeepers are your age and your wallet, not the bouncer's mood. ID is checked and 18+ is enforced strictly: under-18s are refused even with a parent, so bring a passport or physical ID. General admission has no dress code (people come as they are, straight off the beach in some cases). The real "door" is the price and the queue — big-headliner nights sell fast and the walk-up line at 2am can be long. Note it's cashless-friendly but drinks inside are expensive and separate from entry, so budget accordingly.
- DRESS
- No strict dress code for general admission; VIP tables require smart casual (no flip-flops, sleeveless shirts or bikini tops)
- PHOTO
- Assume no photos on the floor — many clubs cover phone cameras.typical
- AGE
- 18+
- CASH
- €40-80+ (typically, per-event/tiered, as of 2026) · card / cash
- GETTING IN
- Buy your ticket online in advance — it's about €10 cheaper than the door and guarantees entry on sold-out nights. Amnesia Presents residency tickets start around €40–€60 and climb as the date nears; big nights push the range to €80+. Book through Amnesia's official site (amnesia.es), the venue's ticket page, or Resident Advisor (ra.co/clubs/764); check whether a drink is bundled (often it isn't). Getting there: no train exists on Ibiza — take a taxi (agree the fare/meter), drive, or ride the Discobus night network which loops the clubs to/from Ibiza Town and San Antonio until dawn. Amnesia is a summer-only club: the 2026 season opens Saturday 9 May (its 50th-anniversary party) and runs into early October, dark the rest of the year. Doors are late — arrive from midnight, peak is 2–4am, and it goes till 6am.

Is it actually house? Yes — but read the calendar. Amnesia is one of Ibiza's original superclubs (~5,000 capacity, two rooms), and its programming swings across house, tech-house and techno depending on the night. It's the historic home of the Balearic beat and once hosted Sven Väth's legendary Cocoon — treat that as heritage, not a 2026 booking.
The music (which nights are house). The venue splits into the Main Room (Club Room) and the vast, glass-roofed Terrace — each with its own line-up, so the sound genuinely changes by room and by night. For 2026 the house-leaning nights are Pyramid (Sundays, from 8 June), Amnesia Presents with Ben Hemsley & Kettama (Mondays, from 23 June), Do Not Sleep (Thursdays, from 15 May) and disco-house from Glitterbox. Want techno instead? That's RESISTANCE (Wednesdays, from 23 July). Josh Baker's You&Me and Joseph Capriati's Metamorfosi round out the season.
The door & how to get in. This isn't a face-control club — a valid ticket plus 18+ ID gets you in. The two real gatekeepers are age (strictly 18+; under-18s refused even with a parent, so carry a passport or physical ID) and money. Buy online in advance — it's roughly €10 cheaper than the door and guarantees entry when a headliner sells out. Residency tickets start around €40–€60 and climb closer to the date; big nights push entry to €80+ (typically, per-event and tiered — this is a range, not a fixed door fee, as of 2026). Book via amnesia.es, the venue's ticket page, or Resident Advisor. Check whether a drink is included — often it isn't, and bar prices inside are steep.
Practical. Hours run roughly midnight to 6am — arrive from midnight, peak is 2–4am. General admission has no dress code (beach clothes are fine); VIP tables require smart casual (no flip-flops, sleeveless shirts or bikini tops). Getting there: Ibiza has no train — take a taxi, drive, or use the Discobus night network that loops the clubs to and from Ibiza Town and San Antonio until dawn. The club sits right on the San Antonio–Ibiza Town highway at Sant Rafel, roughly the island's centre.
Seasonal — plan around it. Amnesia is summer only. The 2026 season opens Saturday 9 May (billed as its 50th-anniversary party) and runs into early October; it's dark the rest of the year, so don't fly in expecting a winter night.
Worth it? For anyone chasing the real Ibiza superclub experience — that Terrace at sunrise is a genuine bucket-list moment — yes. It's expensive and it's a big, tourist-heavy room, not an intimate underground haunt. Come for the scale, the sound system and a legendary night; budget for the drinks.
