Top 10 bars in Ibiza

1 Ushuaia Located on Playa Den Bossa beach, Ushuaia took Ibiza by storm in 2009 with its ‘Luciano and friends’ parties that sadly came to an end soon after the 2010 season started (politics!?). Not only can you enjoy a serious party at Ushuaia [try out the Sasha and Fuse hosted parties] you can also relax on one of the many beach beds and loungers, enjoy delicious food from the kitchen and sample their exotic cocktails. If you fancy some retail therapy there is even a small boutique selling designer fashion items.

Be sure not to miss the late afternoon parties with top international DJs.  It’s the place to be!
