Hï Ibiza crowned off a phenomenal season in style on Saturday 8 October with its glittering Closing Party. The world's number one club, as decreed by readers of DJ Mag, capped summer with a 12-hour bonanza that drew a line under a defining summer.
Key to this celebration was the club largely inviting back its weekly residents, placing faith in the DJ talent that had put in the hard work. This was a family affair, reuniting Hï Ibiza's in-house heroes.
There were some notable exceptions too, such as outsiders Peggy Gou, ANNA and Anfisa Letyago flying the flag for womenkind. Each revelled in the invitation.
The effort of the crowd could not go without mention either. They flooded into the club right from the word go and hung around right to the bitter end. Great programming is nothing without an audience - and these two elements went hand-in-hand, as they had done all summer.
Did we need any more proof? They say a picture paints a thousand words, so let's take a look at a selection of the best from the night.

Hï Ibiza may be closed until 2023, but don't believe for a moment that operator The Night League will be taking its foot off the pedal and taking this summer's success for granted. You can guarantee that plans are already underway for next term.
Already on the club's social media channels, it is teasing the cryptic "clubbing 2.0 is loading. A whole new world awaits". Interesting... could this be an adventure into the metaverse?
As ever, you will be the first to read about it on Ibiza Spotlight. See you next year, Hï Ibiza.
