Ibiza Closing Parties 2021
Your guide for the best closing parties of the season
C losing Parties in Ibiza signal the end of a long, long summer season that began life in May. The summer may be drawing to a close as the temperature drops, but the parties at this time of year are the hottest on the island. With 2020 being “the season that never was”, let’s hope we are able to dance again in 2021. In this guide weāll tell you what to expect from the Closing Parties, our recommendations for 2021, and the Closing Parties already confirmed.
When do Ibiza Closing Parties take place?
There’s often some confusion about when exactly Ibiza Closing Parties take place.
In previous years, most Closing Parties would take place by the end of September, before the season finished.Ā Nowadays however, some Closing Parties won’t happen until the second week of October. Take Circoloco at DC10, whose final party was on the 7th October in 2019. Solomun’s +1 closing party was even later, on the 13th October. Just as Opening Parties seem to start earlier in May each season, Closing Parties seem to end later every year.
In a normal season, Ibiza Closing Parties take place between the 16th September – 18th October.
However, 2021 is not a normal season. If the situation regarding Covid is under control, then there’s no doubt the 2021 summer season is going to be extended longer than ever before. Amnesia have just announced their closing party for 2021 will take place on Saturday the 23rd October. It will be the latest Closing Party date the super club has ever had!

It’s also important to understand that there isn’t any official set time when Closing Parties take place.
Each club and promoter will decide when their own Closing Party is hosted. So whilst you might find yourself in Ibiza in the middle of September, not every party you go to will necessarily be a Closing Party. In fact, some might have already taken place by then! Of the 87 confirmed Closing Parties in 2019, the first took place on the 18th August (Warriors at Octan), and the last was the 13th October (Solomun+1 at Pacha). That’s a pretty wide timespan!
So if you’re going specifically to Ibiza for Closing Parties, make sure you plan ahead.
When is the best time for Ibiza Closing Parties?
If you want to catch the widest choice of Closing Parties, the best time to go is the week between the 28th September – 5th October.
Looking at last season, there were no less than 33 to choose from that week, with 7 parties taking place alone on Friday the 4th October to choose from š
Is September a good time to visit Ibiza?
For us, Closing Parties in September and October are the best time to go to Ibiza. There areĀ fewer people around, giving you more breathing space in general. Itās easier to get taxis, book a last minute restaurant or day-bed, and the island feelsĀ more relaxedĀ as the off-season approaches. Youāll encounter a lot of workers who are looking forward to some deserved time off during the winter!
If you’re going to Ibiza to catch any of the Closing Parties in 2021, you’re in for a treat.

Youāre also more likely to findĀ cheaper dealsĀ to Ibiza during the Closing Parties. Why? Because the peak time for tourism in Ibiza is July and August. Hotels and villas become more affordable at the end of September and beginning of October. Take for example one of our favourite hotels,Ā Es Vivé in Figuertas. The average price during peak season for a room is £300, but this drops down to just £85Ā in early October ā thatāsĀ over 70%Ā cheaper!
If youāre in a larger group, you might find some great last minuteĀ Villa dealsĀ at this time too. Most hotels will close for the season between mid to end October, and will lower prices to get as many bookings possible before that happens.
The same goes for flights. A return flight from London to Ibiza in September costs £76, vs £114 in August. In October the average drops even lower to £48 return.
The weather is another factor for coming during Closing Parties. By the end of September the average temperature on the island drops toĀ 24°C. Itās noticeably cooler than theĀ 30°CĀ average in August, but it makes for more comfortable dancing at day partiesĀ š
The most important reason to go for Closing Parties, is the parties themselves! Youāll get theĀ best DJ line ups,Ā surprise guests, andĀ production valueĀ no matter where you go, as every club and promoter pull out all the stops for the party that the whole season has been working toward.
Thereās a good reason a lot of parties donāt have an end time when it comes to closing!
Whilst you might find yourself in Ibiza in the middle of September, not every party you go to will necessarily be a Closing Party.
