  • NOBU IBIZA BAY

    WED 1 - SAT 5 OCTOBER 2025

    Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay is a stunning five-star beachfront hotel located on Talamanca Bay, just a 10-minute walk from Club Chinois. It’s one of the most luxurious hotels on the island, combining laid-back Ibiza style with top-tier service and beautiful design throughout. The rooms are spacious and elegant, many with sea views and private terraces. The hotel has two gorgeous pools, several bars and restaurants (including Nobu, naturally), and a relaxed but high-end vibe that makes it one of the most in-demand stays on the island. This package is based on double occupancy and includes daily breakfast. It comes with two VIP tickets to the DJ Awards at Club Chinois on 1st October, including VIP seats in the exclusive room with premium bottle service, full access to the VIP suite throughout the night, and invites to the industry-only cocktail party. Transfers are included to the private, invite-only secret after-hours which runs until 4pm the next day. The event kicks off with a free bar cocktail reception for press, nominees and industry guests, followed by the main awards ceremony and the official party headlined by last year’s International DJ of the Year, Fisher. All prices are based on two people sharing. If you’d like a single occupancy option, just contact us and we’ll sort it.

    OCEAN DRIVE IBIZA

    WED 1 - FR 3 OCTOBER 2025

    Ocean Drive Ibiza is a true icon of the island’s hotel scene, with deep roots in the evolution of Ibiza’s electronic music culture. Since opening its doors in the late 90s, it’s been a favourite hangout for DJs, creatives and music lovers, drawn by its art deco-inspired design, relaxed energy and unbeatable location. Sitting proudly on the marina front, the hotel offers panoramic views of Dalt Vila and the superyachts of Marina Botafoch, with the clubs just minutes away — it’s literally a 5-minute stroll to Club Chinois, making it the perfect base for a night out or a summer-long residency.

    The rooms at Ocean Drive are cool, contemporary and perfectly tuned for Ibiza life — think sleek lines, bold pops of colour, and balconies that overlook the water or the old town skyline. The rooftop is a vibe too, with regular DJ sets and sunset sessions that channel the island’s creative spirit. More than just a hotel, Ocean Drive is part of Ibiza’s musical DNA — a place where artists stay, ideas are born, and the party often starts before you’ve even left the building.
