Amnesia Ibiza


In the 1980s, Amnesia gave birth to what eventually became known as the Balearic Beat (courtesy of the then resident DJ Alfredo). Amnesia grew to become one of the most consistently successful of all the clubs in Ibiza, and was also home to the island's best gay party 'La Troya Asiesian'. Unfortunatly the La Troya team moved to SPACE in 2006, with the name HOME OF LA TROYA IBIZA. 

The name of the old party, 'La Troya Asesina' was still used by AMNESIA in 2006 until the end of August, when they appeared to change to 'La Troya Amnesia'. just to keep things even more interesting for all you bewildered punters. More on that later. 

Midway between Ibiza Town and San Antonio and across the road from Privilege, Amnesia looks like a former garden centre (it does look like a B&Q from the outside) turned superclub. The club has, however, progressed a long way from its domestic roots. 

There are two dance areas in Amnesia: the Main Room, which plays host to the biggest draw DJs, usually at the headlining club (when two are sharing the venue), and always the foam party; and the smaller back room, or "Terrace", home to some very large trees. Even though it is bigger than Brighton Pavilion the Terrace still maintains an intimate feel. 

Integral to Amnesia's success and atmosphere are the many 'talented' dancers, who take to the podiums night after night.

Amnesia is home to many highly successful parties, notably superclubs Cream and Gatecrasher, Germany's Cocoon Club, though again, the real La Troya is now at SPACE. 

Amnesia runs a bus from Ibiza town every 20 minutes to the club 11pm to 3am and from the Club to Ibiza town 6am to 8am. It is free if you have a club entry ticket. More information check out the club's web site.
