Pacha Ibiza can legitimately lay claim to being one of, if not, the, world's most iconic nightclubs. For over fifty years, Pacha has been at the forefront of club culture. Its influence, from a tiny speck in the Mediterranean sea, really does spread that far and wide.
Originally a converted finca, the building has undergone decades of regenerations, expanding almost year-on-year. Today's club is very different from the Pacha that stood in the same spot in 1973, as well as considerably larger. Yet it still drips with Pacha's unmistakable signature.
In recent years, the dancefloor has been widened and the sound system upgraded, making the clubbing element equally as important as its famous VIP.
Pacha exited summer 2024 in good health, but in a winter of seismic change across the island, it too has chosen to make some intriguing tweaks to the programme. Here's what you can expect from Monday to Sunday.
Week overview
Music On | Fridays
16 May to 10 October
Music On is one of Ibiza's most cherished nights. Nowadays, it's more vocal House and "Deep-Tech" with the odd edit of something familiar thrown in and almost always ending on a crowd-pleaser, but even if it isn't really Techno any more, it still exudes Techno energy.
What hasn't changed is the groove. When it locks in, you can't escape. Time to dust off the black t-shirt and join the Music On crusade. A full dancefloor and a full VIP - that's the Marco Carola effect. It's gonna be another packed summer.
Music policy: Tech House, Deep-Tech, House
Pure Pacha presents Robin Schulz | Saturdays
10 to 31 May and 6 to 27 September
Pure Pacha is the embodiment of the Pacha brand - the sex appeal, the glamour, the hospitality and the heritage. Down the years, the party has been fronted by some of the biggest faces in dance music. But regardless of who, they never eclipse Pacha herself - the true star.
The music policy is accessible House music that everybody can enjoy, but that's only part of what makes it special. Pure Pacha is about showing the club off to its full potential: the crowd, the dancers, the show, the bottle service. It's all just totally Pacha!
Music policy: Commercial House, EDM
Flower Power | Saturdays
7 June to 30 August and 4 October
Defining the true essence of Ibiza and its ideals of freedom, peace and happiness, Pacha-born Flower Power is the island's longest-running party by a canter. Starting life as annual parties in 1981, before later becoming monthly and then weekly, Flower Power remains evergreen.
Created by founder Ricardo Urgell, Flower Power got a modern revamp last summer, which continues in 2025. The music policy is now almost exclusively House and Disco (though still very much the classic sound), while sensational live act Bora Uzer has been installed as resident.
Music policy: House, Funky House, Jackin' House, Disco
Solomun +1 | Sundays
8 June to 5 October
Over the years, Pacha's Sunday night Solomun +1 has proved to be one of Ibiza's perma-popular parties. The formula is simple but effective. Swimming against the tide for stacked line ups and short sets, Solomun invites a single guest each week.
Then both he and they both get extended set times, almost always culminating in a back-to-back for the last few hours to see us home. Since year one, the crowds have come flocking, especially the girls. Solomun has one of the best men-to-women ratio splits of any Ibiza dancefloor.
Music policy: Tech House, Progressive House, Indie Dance, Post-Punk
***NEW*** Sonny Fodera | Mondays
9 June to 6 October
After three years on Mondays at Amnesia, Sonny Fodera switches across town to start a self-named residency. He's even brining his ol' pal Danny Howard along for the ride, as well as an assortment of international DJs known for their vocal House productions.
All early signs point to Sonny Fodera being one of the surprise packages of summer 2025.
Music policy: Commercial House, Tech House
CAMELPHAT | Tuesdays
20 May to 7 October
Made up of Dave Whelan and Mike Di Scala, CAMELPHAT are the multi-platinum production duo and DJ double-act who have taken over the world since 2016. You'll know them as the pair behind some of the biggest mainstream dance hits of the past decade.
CAMELPHAT's stages and crowds just keep getting bigger. After climbing the Ibiza DJ ranks, CAMELPHAT moved to Pacha in 2023 and, well, the stars aligned as they took the cherries by storm.
Music policy: Melodic Techno, Progressive House
***NEW*** Abracadabra | Wednesdays
21 May to 30 July
The second new addition to Pacha's line up sees BLOND:ISH handed the keys to early-season Wednesdays for Abracadabra.
Perhaps a bit of an unknown quantity as to how exactly this new venture will look and sound, there's no questioning the trust being thrown behind Vivie-Ann, as the chequebook has been pulled out to secure a tantalising second date with none-other than Marco Carola.
Being that BLOND:ISH has been booked by Music On for many years, it only seems fair that she now gets to return the favour.
BLOND:ISH always takes her fans on a journey to her “Happy Happy World” through her unmatched enthusiasm and music selections.
***NEW*** Baddest Behaviour | Wednesdays
6 August to 8 October
Also brand new for 2025, Dutch game changer Mau P moseys on down to his edgy new session Baddest Behaviour in the latter half of summer, passed the baton from BLOND:ISH when her stint ends.
Any folk curious as to what this new party entails, can scope out the warm-up date Introducing... Baddest Behaviour on 1 June.
***NEW*** Defected | Thursdays
8 May to 2 October
For many, Defected's Ibiza heyday was its run at Pacha between 2005 and 2012, which is why its such a big deal that the club and party have rekindled their romance some 13-years after they parted ways. Even though this might be Defected's second move in as many years, there's an undeniable synergy between the two dance music powerhouses that simply irresistible.
We had the pleasure of speaking with Defected CEO Wez Saunders about the motives behind the move. Who doesn't love a comeback? Pacha and Defected go hand-in-hand. The world's most dominant House music stable is back where it belongs.
Music policy: House, Tech House
Pre-season parties
In addition to its main programme, Pacha also runs an enticing early-season schedule which includes lots of exciting one-off parties.
This includes KEINEMUSIK's annual visit in May (long since sold out, we're afraid and, no, there won't be any tickets available on the door). Fortunately, there are plenty of other goodies to get tucked into.
Franky Rizardo presents Flow (1 May), Gordo (6 May) and Loco Dice (9 May) are amongst the dates. Later, Dixon back-to-back Âme back-to-back Jimi Jules (11 May) gets the ball rolling on Innvervisions' 20th anniversary.
Miguelle & Tons' Two & A Half Cats and all night longs from Mochakk and Roger Sanchez are also booked.
Drink packages
New for 2025, Pacha Group has introduced pre-sale drink bundles offering incredible savings against bar prices. Get yours with all ticket purchases for Pacha or Destino Five when buying from Ibiza Spotlight. Add club tickets to your basket as usual, then opt to upgrade at check-out.

Pacha could genuinely be about to put the notion that Ibiza is too expensive to bed.
When does it all start?
Friday 25 April at the Grand Opening Party - the same weekend as International Music Summit (IMS) music conference and the rest of Ibiza's opening parties.
