Although we love Ibiza dearly (some say we're her biggest fans), there's no doubt that a week of clubbing can add up. We acknowledge, as holiday destinations go, things can get expensive.
With fuel prices remaining high and the cost of living crisis starting to pinch, it's understandable that visitors may be more savvy with their holiday spending.
That said, there's still plenty of bargains to be found.
We got a few suggestions on where to party which won't break the bank.
Octan
Octan is committed to being a party destination which has kept the price of a night out in a sensible ballpark. No matter which session, whether Wednesday night hullabaloo La Troya, Sunday staple ENCORE or even the upcoming August residency from Goldie, you can get €30 tickets.
Better still, if you're willing to maximise your experience, you can pick up pre-01:00AM admission tickets for the same price but including your first drink on arrival.
Even once inside, drinks prices are a reasonable €15 for long drinks, €10 for beer and €5 for water and shots.
Akasha
Similarly, Akasha has tickets available throughout the week and all month long at a wallet-friendly €15. Some of the small scale midweek nights are even as low as €10.
Sure, you might not get the same big names that you do at the super-clubs, but what you are guaranteed is some of the best music on one of the best sound systems on the island.
Even if you're not familiar with any names on the line-up, trust us when we say the booking policy is very informed. We're even discovering some new, under exposed talent ourselves.
Las Dalias has always pushed the envelope for alternative music and even in the modern day, Akasha continues to pursue this direction. Check-out listings for July and August.
Defected
Largely attracting a younger crowd with, presumably, a little less disposable income, Defected has long been a great value night out. Eden's permanently popular Friday night knows how important it is to look after the next generation of island visitors. It's an actual pledge.
Considering the big competition that Defected goes head-to-head with, it's standard €35 tickets are markedly cheaper. But get this...
For the early birds, they're even cheaper still! If you're prepared and know a night at Defected is nailed on, buy early and save money. It's that simple. Early Bird tickets are as little as €25, increasing in price closer to the day of the party. So get organised and get saving!
Frankly, that's unbelievable value for one of the best nights on the island.
Cova Santa
It still amazes us at what a hidden gem Cova Santa is to a lot of people. Even some return visitors who have been coming here year after year, have never been. Some might not even be aware of it. Scandalous. If you've never had the privilege, then this really needs to be rectified.
Thankfully, you can experience this incredible outdoor spot in the San José hillside very affordably.
Early entry tickets are available at just €22 for some really great parties, including PIV, Eastenderz, Do Not Sleep and even the legendary Sasha. Plus there are some special one-off take overs from the likes of Nora En Pure, Joseph Capriati and more coming up.
If you want cheaper still, you can even grab tickets for the amazing All Day I Dream for €16.50 - WOW!
Don't worry about getting there too early. Trust us, this is a venue that you want to see in the daytime. Arriving before sunset and seeing the day change to night is what you want to do. Then you can always stick around after midnight, when the action moves inside.
Pacha
What's that? You thought Pacha had a reputation for being pricey? Well, if you're looking for a VIP table in one of its exclusive zones, then true, it can be. However, if you simply want to be in the middle of the dancefloor where the real fun happens, then you can save yourself some dough simply by being a smart, early buyer.
Almost all nights go up in price the nearer to the date of the party.
Coming in mid August or later? Grab a Flower Power ticket for €30, rising to €45 if you leave it too late. Or what about Bedouin's A Wednesday Saga? Those future dates can be bought for as cheap as €30 right now. New immersive Thursday night El Baile has a pre-sale at only €33.
Even at the top end of the scale, you can save €20 off the final online price (€30 off the door price!) for Pacha giant Solomun. With our very flexible booking policy, you can cancel up to one day before the party and get a full refund - no questions asked. So you have nothing to lose and lots to gain.
See, we weren't kidding, there are bargains to be found.
Fans of daytime, poolside partying needn't miss out on the bargains either. Visit the pages of Ibiza Rocks and O Beach for tickets starting from as low as €20.
Remember, our flexible ticketing T&Cs mean the vast majority of our tickets can be cancelled and fully refunded if done so at least 24 hours before the event start time. If your plans change last minute, you have peace of mind that you can get your money back.
On the rare occasion tickets are non-refundable, we make this clearly visible.
Ibiza Spotlight - always happy to help.
