Eden Ibiza, the island's newest superclub, on the San Antonio waterfront (Sant Antoni)

History

Back in the murky 90s a venue called the Star Club morphed into Kaos and then just as swiftly became the present day Eden in the winter of '99/2000.

Eden appropriated the symbol of the competition directly across - Es Paradis's apple - and a feud was born. The constant bickering keeps them on their toes however as both vie for the custom that pours in from the West End and the other drinking zones of San Antonio and its surrounds.

Judge Jules was a consultant in the design of the dj booth and the Radio 1 jock also occupies the club on Sundays for Eden's most high profile night.

Location

Directly on the waterfront of San Antonio, opposite the harbour. Perfect for town-based clubbing. If you are staying down the Bay (Port d'es Torrent), the disco bus ferries clubbers back and forth all night.

Music Policy

2008 should see a breakthrough year for Eden, who have previously failed to develop a solid line up. Along with Judge Jules on Sundays, Dave Pearce holds a weekly spot on Tuesday to keep the anthemic trance fans happy.

Yet another Radio 1 favourite, Pete Tong, moves to Eden this summer bringing a quality house night to San An, including a weekly residency of Groove Armada.

Funky house is can be found at Garlands, Twice As Nice offer some urban grooves, while Koolwaters supply the breaks.

Try the back room on any night for alternative sounds. Electric Sex's gigs are the pick of the bunch.

Inside Eden

2008 has seen a huge development inside Eden, updating and improving the club to meet the decent club standards of Ibiza.

The sound system is powerful, the lighting effects are reasonably good and there are plenty of bars to service the approximately 5,000 that can be accommodated inside.

Downstairs the dancefloor is separated into two sunken areas with the booth overlooking both. A stage at the far end can also be utilised should Girls Aloud or other such pop groups drop by. In the rear of the club is the glassed back room with capacity for a few hundred.

Upstairs is the restricted access VIP area complete with couches and more bars which overlooks the rest of the club. The design is stark and slightly cold.

Prices

Expect to pay from 20 € to 50 €, depending on the month and night. Reduced price flyers are available. Drinks between 6€ and 10€.

Unlike every other club in Ibiza there is a dress code - no football shirts, no beachwear, tops to be worn at all times, unless you're a performer of course.
