“We're enough”: the Ibiza party cake is over
The clubs are closing an irregular season with a saturated market and the announcement from the Consell that there will be no more new nightclubs to “encapsulate” a sector, concentrated in a few hands, which accounts for a third of the island's GDP.
Somos suficientes, the slogan that resonated through the island of Ibiza, marked the end of an era. Jason, a 40-year-old New Yorker, a fervent baseball fan and owner of a golden tooth, rushed to cross the street. His hurried pace was in stark contrast to the crowd that had just left Ushuaïa, the renowned night club situated in Playa D’en Bossa.
Over 7,000 people had left the outdoor venue, making way for the formation of a queue at the Hï nightclub. Both establishments shared ownership with the Matutes real estate empire and were creatively run by The Night League, a company led by the "king of Ibiza", the Frenchman Yann Pissenim. They also jointly operated UNVRS, formerly Privilege and before that, Ku, the largest hyperclub in the world.
Among the top 20 nightclubs in Ibiza, Ushuaïa held the third position, Hï was fourth, followed by Amnesia at 16, Pachá at 18, and DC-10 at 19.
