Amnesia Ibiza, SpainThe house where Amnesia now stands was built at the end of the 18th
century. Five generations of the Planells family lived within its
thick, whitewashed walls. They cultivated the land and built a mill out
of stone. During the first half of the 10th century the poor that came
to beg, received bread, cheese and dried figs. Carretera San Antonio, Km 5 Ibiza, 07820 Balearics, Spain Tel: 0034 971 198041 Fax: 0034 971 198064 Price: 20-30 Euro on a regular night: 30-50 Euro on big events
The club is home to the hugely successful Manumission club night since mid August 2007. This unexpected mid-season change of venue from Amnesia's biggest rival, Privilege, took place over a row between Manumission's organizers and the club's owner which peaked when the owner locked the doors to the event organizer on Friday August leaving thousands of ticket-holders stranded outside the club. Another successful club night is Cream, one of the longest-running UK nights on the island. Club Cocoon, promoted by the veteran DJ and producer, German Sven Väth, is another popular night, taking the share of Monday's crowds since Manumission, for many years its biggest rival at Privilege, moved to Fridays in 2006. Amnesia was also home to the famous club night La Troya Asesina night up until 2006, when it finally moved to Space to end a long association with the venue. The club is located close to the village of San
Rafael on the highway between Sant Antoni de Portmany and Ibiza Town
and less than a kilometer apart from Privilege, both among the island's
most popular nightclubs. The club can pack more than 5,000 people on
the dance floors. It was the first major outdoor club on the island.
