10 Clubs in Spain You Simply Cannot Miss

Set Your Alarm For 1am - It's Time To Wake Up And Party!

Pacha in Ibiza.

Pacha in Ibiza.

Comments  (5)

Jul 28, 2012 —  The football clubs might be the ones making the news, but it’s the nightclubs of Spain that fill the calendars of its residents and the scandalous imaginations of partygoers around the world. From the beaches of Ibiza to Barcelona’s buzzing La Rambla corridor, to the hidden cobblestone streets of Madrid, there are enough world-class dance halls to keep even the most hardcore clubbers busy for years.

Dance lovers here have adapted to a nocturnal lifestyle, and any travelers unfamiliar with the norms will need to get used to the time change, and we don’t mean geographically speaking. Nightlife in Spain is renowned for not heating up until well after midnight and the energetic partying doesn’t shut down until dawn, if not later. So if you’re dreaming of high-tempo beats and sexy bodies, don’t make us say we told you so by showing up to an empty building at 11pm only to wonder if you went to the wrong address.

But don’t worry about any daytime schedule you might have to maintain. A solution to the unavoidable fatigue that comes with partying until six in the morning has been in place for centuries, and it’s called a “siesta”. So instead of staying up to research your next night of debauchery, take a snooze with the rest of the country and leave the distressing work to us as we pick out the coolest clubs in Spain.

    Joy Madrid

    Club / Concert Venue

    Joy Madrid - Club | Concert Venue in Madrid.
    A popular destination for those looking for a dose of techno, Joy Madrid is a high-energy club where sexy house dancers take to the stage and trendy revelers take to the floor to lose themselves in an electronic sea of light and sound.

    Kapital

    Kapital - Club in Madrid.
    One of the most well-known and popular clubs in Madrid, Kapital is a prime example of the city’s larger-than-life social scene and is just as much a tourist destination as the nearby Prado Museum. The seven floors of musical madness offer something for just about everyone, so patrons should take the time to explore them all and be prepared for a

    Space of Sound

    Space of Sound - Club | Nightclub in Madrid.
    Anyone who still isn’t convinced that Spanish nightlife rivals that of any other country on the continent should head to Space of Sound. After a weekend of nonstop clubbing, the apparently nuclear-powered madrileños prove their reputation as world-class partiers by packing into this mega-club starting at 4pm every Sunday.

    Sala Siroco

    Club

    Sala Siroco - Club in Madrid.
    Slightly off the main drag of Calle de la Palma, Sala Siroco is a popular club/lounge that promises a weekly lineup of top local DJs and up-and-coming indie acts. The all-black exterior belies the colorful explosion inside, which begins with past and future event flyers collaged down the entryway. Most patrons head straight for the downstairs club,

    Carpe Diem Lounge Club (CDLC)

    Club / Lounge / Restaurant

    Carpe Diem Lounge Club (CDLC) - Club | Lounge | Restaurant in Barcelona.
    Right on the beach with inspiring views of the Mediterranean lies the Carpe Diem Lounge Club, a Balinese haven for relaxation and serenity. A large Buddha statue meditates outside on the deck overlooking the sea, while guests lie on beds at its base sipping tea, wine, and cocktails and enjoying the same astounding view. As exquisite as it already

    Catwalk

    Club

    Catwalk - Club in Barcelona.
    Catwalk is one of the most popular clubs on the Port for the young and fashionable, as well as a late-night spot for those looking to continue dancing after 3am when clubs like Carpe Diem Lounge Club (CDLC) and Shoko close. Downstairs in the club’s main area, big-name DJs blast out house and electro beats at bone-shaking volumes while dancers on

    Club

    Otto Zutz Club - Club in Barcelona.
    Though it lurks in the hinterlands of the city, the popular Otto Zutz Club nonetheless manages to pull in an energetic crowd of young clubbers from all over Barcelona for night after night of drinking and dancing. The club’s size is certainly its biggest draw, with three levels of kitschy chandeliers and disco balls offering different scenes, a

    Pacha

    Club

    Pacha - Club in Ibiza.
    Definitely the glitziest and most fashionable of the island’s clubs, Pacha also holds the distinction of being the only one open all year round. But like every other venue on the island, the club really shines in the summer when lines of stylish patrons are still filing in at 5am hoping to see and be seen. The club consists of several distinct

    Ushuaïa

    Club / Hotel

    Ushuaïa - Club | Hotel in Ibiza.
    An outdoor playground for partygoers, Ushuaïa is like the Las Vegas of Ibiza, with fountains, sculptures, and lots of house dancers in skimpy vintage swimsuits. A dance floor stretching around two enormous pools provides space for five thousand clubbers, while the arched wooden stage that towers over one side has played host to everyone from David

    No doubt the most famous megaclub in the international clubbing community, Space is perhaps best known for its legendary We Love Space sessions on Sundays, a party that can last over thirteen hours and that draws an immense crowd of hardcore clubbers.

Gabriel Larkman Aug 6, 2012 For a day club Ushuaia was a bit of a let down. Me and my friend were expecting to get nice and drunk and frolic around in a pool. It was 45 euro just enter, and if you are not staying at the hotel then you are restricted to a small area of the overall yard and pool area. On top of that, you're not allowed in the pool. Beers were something ridiculous like 15 euro, so at that point my friend and I were very weary about drinking. The mostly Spanish and Italian crowd there was very friendly and all ready to party in their bikinis and speedos. The venue itself was beautiful too, and the models in neon swimsuits were nice eye candy. I wish I could have gone a few weeks later when Avicii started his residency there, maybe then I would have enjoyed it more.
akiley Jul 31, 2012 I've heard great things about Space. Can't wait to visit Ibiza and check out all the great DJs at Space!
chrismorgan Jul 30, 2012 Jet lag is much less of a factor if you just stick to the clubbing schedule.
Sam Altman Jul 28, 2012 Clubbing in Spain tops any other country. The Spaniards go late and go often. I'm partial to the clubs by the beach in Barcelona but Ibiza and Madrid are fantastic as well. Saw Guetta at Ushuaia last month. Amazing set!
Paul Feinstein Jul 28, 2012 Amnesia and Es Paradis in Ibiza might have something to say about this list.
