COTTON BEACH CLUB NYE
Staying on the civilised beach dining concept, Cotton Beach Club recently reopened after its refurbishment and sees the return of its popular Suit & Tue New Year’s party. Inspired by the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, when class and coolness ruled, Cotton’s Suit & Tie New Year party has already won the hearts of those that live on the island, as well as some people that jet in especially for the last event of the year. It’s a stylish finale that sees the men in suit and tie while the ladies have the choice between suit and tie and little black dress! The end of year get together features another monumental feast so make sure you leave room over Christmas, the five-course meal is packed with some of the Cotton favourites. The menu is priced at 120 euros per person and if previous years are anything to go by, it will be a capacity event.

PACHA NYE
The twin cherries have been a winter constant for as long as we can remember, offering weekend parties filled with local and international talent to make sure the island never stops dancing. The New Year bash has always offered something extra special, and while we are still waiting on details as we write this, we know that traditionally this has been a big one. With clubbers historically planning a trip to Ibiza for the Pacha New Year’s bash to break up their year and to get back on that famous dancefloor without having to wait until the new summer season. As soon as we have more information we will bring it to you but, in the mean time, Pacha remains a firm favourite to celebrate the arrival of the new year.

MELON BOMB CLUB 107 NYE
Bringing its unique soul, funk and house flavor to the Marina, Melon Bomb gets set to round off one of its biggest years to date with another monumental groovathon! Having captured the imagination initially through a series of winter events, Melon Bomb translated its unique party vibe to summer, winning a whole new army of fans in the process. Hosting their own parties is still a major part of the concept but it has also appeared at some of the cooler parties on and off the island as Melon Bomb fever spreads. New Year’s eve in Club 107 sees Paul Reynolds, Scott Gray, Corbi, Andreas and Anna Wall deliver a final ‘Get Down’ before 2017 arrives. The fun kicks off at 10.00pm.

CIRCOLOCO DC10 NYD
No end of the year round-up is complete without the famous New Year’s Day party courtesy of Circoloco in DC10. With a fanatical fanbase that fills the club every Monday during summer, when Circoloco announced its first NYD party, the tickets disappeared immediately. Any excuse to sample that crazy atmosphere in a genuine underground music Mecca and in true Circoloco style, the line up is huge and packed with talent. Seth Troxler, Tania Vulcano, Loco Dice, Adriatique, Andrea Oliva, Timo Maas, Nic Fanciulli and Acid Mondays are just the tip of the talent iceberg and the reason clubbers from all over the world booked their Ibiza flight tickets the minute the line up was released. It’s a tradition on the island, not to mention a stamina buster, to get your friends together, shake off the effects of the night before, get into some kind of outrageous outfit and celebrate the first day of a new year on one of the world’s iconic dancefloors.
