Es Paradis Ibiza tickets

Es Paradis is one of Ibiza’s oldest and most legendary clubs, famous for turning dance floors into fountains and nights into drenched, glittering chaos. Opened in 1975 in San Antonio, its pyramid-shaped roof and Roman temple-inspired interior make it one of the most visually striking venues on the island. Built to stun, it’s a rite of passage for first-time ravers and a nostalgic favorite for island veterans.

Inside, marble pillars and grand staircases meet open-roof views and a central dance floor that occasionally floods—literally. The club is best known for its iconic Water Party, but its weekly lineup spans everything from reggaeton heat to retro house grooves and vinyl-only sets.

Best for: Water-soaked raves, open-roof clubbing, retro glamour, barefoot dancing, first-timer magic

Must-experience nights:

• Water Party (Saturdays) – The legendary wet rave where the dance floor becomes a pool
• Pure Reggaeton (Fridays) – Neon lights, heavy bass, and nonstop perreo
• Vibes Party (Mondays) – Feel-good house with a dancefloor full of early-week energy
• Ibiza Records (Tuesdays) – Underground vinyl sets and old-school Balearic soul

Es Paradis, by the Alphabet

A guide dipped in glitter, drenched in nostalgia.

• E is for Entrance under a pyramid – Step through the Roman columns and suddenly, you’re not in San Antonio anymore.
• S is for Soaked – On Saturdays, the floor turns into a literal pool. Yes, you’ll be dancing in water. No, you won’t care.
• P is for Pillars and palms – White marble and indoor gardens give this place its temple-of-partying reputation.
• A is for After-dark magic – The roof opens. The stars peek in. And suddenly the bass feels holy.
• R is for Reggaeton Fridays – Heat, hips, and hooks that don’t let up till 6am.
• A is for Age policy – 18+ only. Don’t forget your ID—they check.
• D is for Dress to move – Forget heels and leather. You’re going to be wet. Think swimwear under that cute outfit.
• I is for Ibiza Records Tuesdays – All vinyl. All underground. No filter.
• S is for Strobe floods – When the lights hit the water mid-drop? Unmatched.

Rules at Es Paradis Ibiza

• You must be 18 or older to enter. ID checks happen at the door, especially on peak nights like Saturdays. Bring a physical photo ID—digital copies aren’t always accepted.
• Dress code is relaxed but stylish. You can wear swimsuits under your outfit for Water Party, but you can’t walk in wearing just a bikini or swim shorts. Think pool-ready, not pool-only. Flip-flops are allowed but not recommended for safety.
• No re-entry once you leave. If you exit, you’ll need to buy another ticket to get back in—even if you just stepped out
• No outside drinks allowed. Security checks bags at the entrance. Water bottles, even sealed ones, are usually not permitted.
• You can bring your phone and a small bag. But large backpacks, selfie sticks, and professional camera gear are not allowed inside. There’s no locker system, so pack light and keep valuables to a minimum.
• No smoking indoors. You’ll need to step outside to designated smoking areas near the entrance. Vapes are technically allowed inside but might get flagged during security checks.
• Be respectful of the water effects. During Water Party, the dance floor fills with water from around 3am. Avoid climbing structures, bringing electronics near the splash zone, or aggressive splashing—staff do keep watch.
• VIP reservations have their own rules. If you’re booking a table upstairs, there’s usually a minimum spend. Make sure to confirm the amount and entry time with the club in advance.

Pro tips for surviving (and thriving) at Es Paradis

• Don’t wear suede, silk, or anything white on Saturdays. The Water Party gets fully soaked. Like ankle-deep, splash-in-your-face soaked. If you’re standing near the center of the dance floor, your outfit will be dripping by 3am. Synthetic fabrics and dark colors = your best friends.
• Put your phone in a waterproof pouch—even if you’re not planning to get wet. You might think you’ll “just stand on the side,” but one wrong bass drop and someone’s drink (or body) is flying your way. They don’t sell phone covers inside, and once it’s gone, it’s gone.
• Buy tickets online—not at the door. Prices jump by €10 to €15 after midnight at the venue, especially on Water Party nights. Some events also sell out completely by 11:30pm. Booking online saves you money and stress.
• Arrive before 1am to snag the best spot and settle in before the real rush hits. Between 1:30am and 3:30am, the floor gets packed, but if you're in early, you’ll have space to move, breathe, and maybe even make friends with the bartenders.
• Need to pee without queueing? Right before peak hours, the restrooms are quieter. After that, expect a wait, especially in the women’s. There’s no express/VIP toilet access unless you have a full VIP table.
• Avoid heels, there are stairs, puddles, and moments of your life you’ll want to dance, not tiptoe. The venue has a few curved staircases and uneven flooring. Plus, dancing on wet marble in stilettos? Recipe for regret
• Stay near the dance floor perimeter if you’re not into being drenched. There’s a dry-ish zone closer to the sides and near the bars upstairs. If you want to watch the madness but not be part of it, hang back there.
• Don’t count on Uber. Use local apps like Taxi Click or JoinUp to book cabs, or flag one outside the San Antonio taxi stand (about a 4-minute walk).
