Ibiza Closing Parties 2022

Closing 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. Most clubs in Ibiza have been closed since the 2019, so we’re sure that 2022’s Closing Parties are going to be phenomenal.

In this guide we’ll tell you what to expect from the Closing Parties, our recommendations for 2022, and list Closing Parties as soon as they’re confirmed.

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.  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 was not a normal season. It wasn’t until the end of October when clubs in Ibiza were finally allowed to open, albeit with lots of restrictions. As a result, Opening & Closing Parties were essentially the same thing. Amnesia’s Opening Party took place on the 22nd October, and its Closing Party the following day on the 23rd!

While we hope things get back to normal in 2022, we think Closing Parties will still end later than they have done in previous seasons.

So if you’re going to be in Ibiza right up until the end of October 2022, you’ll probably still find plenty of clubbing on the island.

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 make sure you plan ahead!

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 the last “normal” 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 🎉

The majority of Closing Parties take place between the 28th Sept – 5th October

For us, Closing Parties in September and October are the best time to go to Ibiza. There are fewer people around, giving you more breathing space in general. It’s easier to get taxis, book a last minute restaurant or day-bed, and the island feels more relaxed as the off-season approaches. You’ll encounter a lot of workers who are looking forward to some deserved time off during the winter!

You’re also more likely to find cheaper deals 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, Es Vivé in Figuertas. The average price during peak season for a room is £300, but this drops down to just £85 in early October – that’s over 70% cheaper!

If you’re in a larger group, you might find some great last minute Villa deals 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 to 24°C. It’s noticeably cooler than the 30°C average in August, but it makes for more comfortable dancing at day parties 🙌

The most important reason to go for Closing Parties, is the parties themselves! You’ll get the best DJ line ups, surprise guests, and production value 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.

There’s a good reason a lot of parties don’t have an end time when it comes to closing!
