Clubbing
Main article: Space (Ibiza nightclub)

Platja d'en Bossa is a popular resort for its many bars and nightclubs. One of the island's so called super-clubs called Space [3] is located in the resort. This club occupies what was once the islands conference and exhibition centre[4] which failed and was sold. In 1987 it was sold and was opened as a nightclub. In the early 1990s DJs in the club began to carry on their sessions out in the open air terrace next to the club, and so began the legendary after hours parties which feature today. Over the years many world famous DJs have appeared in the club including Carl Cox, Paul Oakenfold, Sasha, Erick Morillo, Groove Armada, Danny Tenaglia and Robbie Rivera. In recent years another venue within the resort has become a popular place for music and events. It is called Ushuaïa and has held events for BBC Radio 1 in Ibiza. Sankeys is also located in Playa d'en Bossa.
