Over the course of this time, pretty much everyone and their dogs (though Space stopped allowing people to bring their dogs to the venue 10 years ago, so we can’t clarify) has been to the hallowed Playa D’en Bossa venue and had the time of their lives. Why are we telling you this if you’ve already in fact been to Space Ibiza? Because chances are you had such a great time you won’t remember it, but rest assured if you’ve been at one of We Love’s legendary Sunday parties or a gig put on by the folk at We Love… you will most certainly have had a blast!

Rewind to the summer of 1989, when Space Ibiza opted to ignore the norm and open its doors to the public while everybody else was closing theirs – and boom! The after-party phenomenon was born. At this time, the legendary Space nightclub Ibiza was home to the lost souls, party queens and workers who hadn’t enough money for rent, its dark interior providing the perfect place to either pick up trade, dance the day away or catch a few hours shut eye before starting work! Then some bright spark decided it might be a good idea to whack a couple of decks out the back where they kept the rubbish bins and crates of booze, and thus the infamous Space Ibiza Terrace was born.

English party doyens Brandon Block and Alex P arguably gave birth to the first wave of Brits to be attracted to Space Ibiza with their blend of cheesy vocal anthems and up for it party attitude, hosting the first few years of terrace action to a growing audience of ‘workers’ every Sunday. Space became firmly entrenched in the (house) nation’s consciousness as the place to be every Sunday when you happened to find yourself stranded on the Med.

Fast-forward through 20 plus years of crazy parties, a major remodeling of the venue almost yearly plus the recent draconian island laws and Space Ibiza is a very different animal to the strange little gay after-hours venue it began its now-illustrious life as. Home to ourselves and the humungous Carl Cox parties, Space Ibiza has definitely grown out of her original shell, now taking up around 65 percent of Playa D’en Bossa, pushing hotels even closer towards the sea front and the water park it shares its land with ever closer to the airport. The club now gives even overgrown dinosaur Privilege a run for its Guinness money regularly attracting crowds in excess of 15,000 to the Space Ibiza opening and closings.
