Pacha vs Amnesia
Amnesia, for almost everybody. Pacha is the more beautiful room and the more famous name, but you pay a premium for the postcard and the crowd is noticeably more tourist-heavy. The exception is Flower Power night at Pacha, which is genuinely one of the best parties on the island.
You want the famous Ibiza night — a beautiful room in Ibiza Town you can walk home from — or Flower Power is on, in which case go without hesitating.
You are here for the music and the sunrise, and you would rather spend the taxi fare than the door premium.
Where the two actually differ.
Lime marks the winner of each round. Prices verified late July 2026, paid at the door.
Genuinely lovely. Intimate by superclub standards, whitewashed, and it feels like Ibiza in a way the newer rooms do not.
Bigger, rawer, two rooms plus the terrace. Less pretty, considerably more atmosphere at 05:00.
€45–70, and the queue is slow. Guest list cut-offs here are early and strictly enforced.
€50–75. Broadly the same money for a bigger night.
The most tourist-heavy of the major clubs, plus a table-buying contingent. Also where large single-sex groups are most likely to be refused.
Mixed, music-led, more residents.
Broad and commercial-leaning, with the notable exception of Flower Power — disco and sixties classics, and one of the genuinely great nights here.
House and techno, with terrace nights that lean melodic. More consistent, less range.
Ibiza Town, walkable from the port and Dalt Vila beds. A real advantage.
San Antonio road. Discobus €4, taxi €30.
The strictest of the big rooms in practice. No beach shorts, no football shirts, and visible stag or hen kit will end the night at the door.
Relaxed. Clean trainers are fine.
So which one do you book?
Pacha is the more famous club and the prettier room, and if you are staying in Ibiza Town the fact that you can walk home is worth real money. It is also the club most likely to turn away a group, run an early guest-list cut-off, and charge you €70 for a night that is broadly commercial.
Amnesia is the better value and the better night for the same money, unless the specific thing you want is the postcard. The one occasion we would send you to Pacha ahead of anywhere else is Flower Power: it is silly, joyful, unusually mixed in age, and one of the few branded nights on this island that has kept its quality.
So: Flower Power at Pacha, or any night at Amnesia. That is the honest answer, and it is not the answer a ticket site will give you.

Frequently asked
- Is Pacha worth it in Ibiza?
- For Flower Power, yes — unreservedly. For a standard night, it is the most expensive way to have a fairly commercial night out in Ibiza, and Amnesia or Eden give you more for the money. The room genuinely is beautiful, which is worth something if this is your one trip.
- Which is stricter on the door, Pacha or Amnesia?
- Pacha, considerably. It is the club most likely to refuse a large single-sex group, and it enforces dress code in a way Amnesia does not — beach shorts, football shirts and visible stag or hen paraphernalia will all cost you the night. Amnesia is relaxed by comparison; clean trainers are fine.
- What is Flower Power at Pacha?
- A long-running sixties and seventies themed night — disco, Motown and classics, with the room dressed accordingly and a genuinely mixed-age crowd. Around €50 on the door. It is the one Pacha night we would recommend over anything else on the island that evening.
