Gay Travel Guide to Ibiza

Ibiza has quite the reputation for being the big party island of Spain. The deceptively small Balearic island has lovingly nurtured its party reputation since as far back as the swinging 1960s, when the island attracted a volatile mix of hippies, artists, and free spirits drawn to its relaxed atmosphere and stunning beaches. The 1970s saw the rise of iconic clubs like Pacha, which blended disco culture with the island’s bohemian vibe, and by the 1980s, Ibiza had become a hub for electronic music, with world-renowned DJs flocking to play at its legendary open-air venues. The gays have always been part of that, of course—aren't we always—and to this day, the small island remains a firm favorite of the gay community looking for some fun in the sun.
