SESH

Sa Trinxa Beach Bar is a legendary venue located at the far end of Ibiza’s Ses Salines beach, known for its laid-back atmosphere, beautiful sunsets, and essential role in the evolution of the island’s music and beach party culture. Established in 1978, Sa Trinxa has become an iconic spot in Ibiza, blending the free-spirited attitude of the Balearics with vibrant, eclectic soundtracks. The bar was initially a simple shack serving drinks to locals and hippies, but over the decades it has grown into a vital hub for music lovers and bohemian travelers seeking something more authentic than the glitz and glamour of central Ibiza clubs.

Architecturally, Sa Trinxa remains mostly true to its original wooden terrace and open-air seating that stretches out over the sand and into the shallow aqua waters, inviting guests to kick off their shoes and connect with the scenery. Its informal setting fosters an inclusive atmosphere where everyone from locals to international visitors feels welcome, and it has become celebrated for spontaneous dancing and memorable waterfront gatherings. Unlike many venues on the island, Sa Trinxa has resisted significant modernization, instead retaining a rustic charm and sense of continuity that contribute to its unique allure.

Its musical policy reflects the diversity of Ibiza, with genres spanning Balearic beat, soul, disco, deep house, funk, and world music, played through sound systems that carry the vibe out across the sunbeds and into the sea. Sa Trinxa’s role as a springboard for local talent and seeker of international sounds has helped cement the Balearic sound in global club culture, and it remains one of the few places where the original spirit of Ibiza’s beach music scene still thrives. Notable artists who have performed at Sa Trinxa Beach Bar include international names such as José Padilla, Jon Sa Trinxa (the bar’s long-time resident DJ), Nightmares on Wax, DJ Harvey, and Claude Challe, as well as local and Balearic stalwarts like Alfredo Fiorito, Joan Ribas, Mark Broadbent, and Willie Graff.

These artists have all contributed to making Sa Trinxa synonymous with both cutting-edge music and the timeless magic of Ibiza’s beach life.
