The Most Outrageous Themed Nights in Ibiza’s Clubbing History

Since the 1990s, Ibiza has been the undisputed capital of clubbing, but its most legendary parties have always been about more than just music. On this island, a night out becomes a full-scale theatrical experience - complete with costumes, extravagant set designs, and themes so wild they’ve become the stuff of nightlife legend. From hedonistic circus shows to psychedelic foam pits, here’s a look at the most outrageous themed nights to ever light up the White Isle.

Manumission - Hedonism Unleashed

No list would be complete without Manumission, the party that redefined outrageousness in the ‘90s. Held at the colossal Privilege club (now fully transformed into UNVRS), it was part erotic circus, part theatrical mayhem, and all about freedom - literally, as the name means "release from slavery." It wasn’t unusual to see aerial performers, live sex acts, and everything in between, all in front of 10,000 wide-eyed clubbers. The night didn’t end at the club either: afterparties continued at the Manumission Motel, where anything could - and often did - happen. It was less a party, more a wild, surreal lifestyle manifesto.

La Troya - Ibiza’s Camp Carnival

Equal parts flamboyant, fabulous, and filthy, La Troya has long been one of Ibiza’s most irreverent nights. Originally known as La Vaca Asesina (The Killer Cow), this LGBTQ+ institution found its home at Amnesia, then Space, Club Chinois and now Playa Soleil. Hosted by iconic drag performer Baby Marcelo, La Troya is a chaotic celebration of sexual freedom, gender play, and joyful rebellion. With weekly themes that veer from divine to depraved - think fetish nights, tribal fantasies, and parody politics - La Troya’s costumes and characters are among the most eye-popping on the island. If Manumission was raw hedonism, La Troya is pure, glitter-soaked theatre.

Flower Power - Psychedelic Nostalgia

A little tamer but no less iconic is Flower Power at Pacha. This long-running night takes clubbers on a trippy ride back to the ‘60s and ‘70s, when peace signs, paisley, and rock ’n’ roll ruled. Think John Lennon glasses, VW Beetles parked inside the club, and go-go dancers channeling Woodstock energy. The production is immersive - each corner of the club drenched in retro visuals, vintage posters, and kaleidoscopic light shows. And when a Lennon-Yoko impersonator floats over the crowd on a bed during “Imagine,” you know you’re in Ibiza, where even nostalgia gets a theatrical upgrade.

La Espuma - The OG Foam Party

You haven’t truly done Ibiza until you’ve danced through a wall of foam at La Espuma, Amnesia’s signature foam party. Since the early '90s, this wet and wild event has transformed the dancefloor into a soap-slicked playground. At its peak, industrial cannons launch torrents of foam, burying clubbers in bubbles and creating what feels like an underground rave inside a car wash. It’s ridiculous, messy, and completely liberating - especially when the music shifts from underground house to guilty-pleasure anthems like “Barbie Girl.” Expect to lose your shoes and your dignity - but gain a night you’ll never forget.

elrow - Confetti Overload

In the 2010s, elrow emerged as the new king of immersive party madness. Born in Barcelona, and many years under its belt at Amnesia before debuting in UNVRS this year, elrow combines circus energy, Burning Man aesthetics, and club-kid imagination. Every edition is built around an over-the-top theme: haunted carnivals, trippy jungles, psychedelic dreamscapes. Confetti blasts every five minutes. Costumed performers climb through the crowd. The set design looks like a Tim Burton acid trip. What makes Elrow truly wild is the way it turns the entire club into a living, breathing fantasy land. You don’t just go to elrow - you’re consumed by it.

SuperMartXé - High Glamour, Higher Drama

If you wanted Vegas-style spectacle in Ibiza, SuperMartXé at Privilege was your ticket. Known for its jaw-dropping production and high-glam themes, this party served up weekly extravaganzas featuring dozens of dancers, fire-breathers, and set designs that looked straight out of a West End show. One week it was a futuristic sci-fi fantasy; the next, a Moulin Rouge-inspired burlesque blowout. Even Paris Hilton got in on the action, DJing special foam-and-diamonds editions. With EDM anthems blaring and a rotating cast of performers, SuperMartXé was Ibiza’s answer to Broadway - if Broadway wore nothing but glitter and feathers.

The Zoo Project – Party Like an Animal

Finally, The Zoo Project brings wildness back to its roots - literally. Held at an “abandoned zoo” just outside San Antonio, this daytime event invited clubbers to unleash their inner animal. The dress code? Body paint, fur, feathers, or full-on animal cosplay. Stages are tucked into old enclosures, performers prowl the grounds, and the music leans toward underground house and techno. Unlike the superclubs, Zoo Project’s charm lies in its raw, DIY spirit - part jungle rave, part tribal gathering, and all kinds of outrageous.

From floating beds to flooded dancefloors, Ibiza’s themed nights are immersive worlds that invite you to lose your mind, your inhibitions, and sometimes your clothes. The music may set the mood, but it’s the wild themes, costumes, and jaw-dropping production that turn a great night into an unforgettable spectacle. In Ibiza, the more outrageous, the better.
