Info

Amnesia Ibiza is one of Spain's most iconic nightclubs, renowned worldwide for its vibrant atmosphere and pioneering influence on electronic dance music culture. Located on the Spanish island of Ibiza, near the village of San Rafael, Amnesia has played a central role in shaping the island’s status as a global party destination. The club’s origins date back to 1976, when it was first opened in a former farmhouse under the name "The Workshop of Forgetfulness." Over time, the venue transformed into Amnesia, adapting its name to capture the escapist ethos that defines the Ibiza experience.

Throughout the 1980s, Amnesia gained its reputation as a haven for music lovers and free spirits, leading the island’s burgeoning Balearic Beat movement and hosting legendary parties that attracted people from across Europe and beyond. Its open-air design contributed to its unique ambiance until the early 1990s, when a roof was added to comply with noise restrictions, fundamentally changing the clubbing experience while preserving the venue’s core identity. Amnesia’s cultural significance lies in its enduring commitment to music innovation and its ability to launch and sustain influential residencies that have become essential to Ibiza’s nightlife.

The club is especially famous for its immersive sound and light systems, stunning ice cannons, and a layout which features two main rooms—the massive "Terrace" and the more intense "Main Room"—catering to diverse musical tastes. Despite undergoing several renovations and improvements, Amnesia has remained at its original location and continues to evolve, blending new technologies with its storied past. Over the years, it has won numerous awards, including the International Dance Music Award for Best Global Club, solidifying its place at the pinnacle of the international club scene and serving as a rite of passage for both partygoers and renowned performers.

Notable artists who have performed at Amnesia Ibiza include international superstars and influential DJs such as Carl Cox, Paul Oakenfold, Sven Väth, Martin Garrix, Luciano, Richie Hawtin, Adam Beyer, Danny Tenaglia, Nina Kraviz, and Armin van Buuren. The venue has also featured prominent local and Spanish talents like Caal, Les Schmitz, and Mar-T, alongside long-standing residencies from event brands like Cocoon and elrow, and appearances by acts like The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, Jamie Jones, Chase & Status, Deadmau5, Steve Aoki, Marco Carola, Tale of Us, and Apollonia.
