Nestled near the quaint village of Sant Rafael and in close proximity to the iconic Amnesia, Privilege Ibiza boasts the title of the world's largest nightclub institution, spanning a colossal 6,500 m² with an awe-inspiring capacity of 10,000 revelers.
The club's illustrious history is woven with tales of extravagant open-air parties that epitomized the spirit of Ibiza's nightlife culture.
