ONE OF THE WORLDS BEST NIGHTCLUBS AMNESIA IBIZA
In this Ibiza video we fly a drone around one of the worlds best nightclubs Amnesia Ibiza located in the Mediterranean Island of Ibiza in Spain, Amnesia, the temple of electronic music. Home to the best DJs and the best parties. Pyramid, Cocoon, Together, Abode, elrow and much more.Amnesia is one of several internationally renowned clubs in Ibiza. It opened in 1976; the venue was awarded Best Global Club in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011 at the IDMA Awards in Miami. The club is located close to the village of San Rafael on the highway between Sant Antoni de Portmany and Ibiza Town. The origins of Amnesia are in April 1970, when the Planells family who had inhabited the house for five generations decided to move into town and sell their finca (country house) to a widow from an aristocratic background. Ibiza, which had become a destination for tourism already in the fifties, was at that time a hive for counterculture and idealists and the building that was to become Amnesia turned into a meeting point with hippie bands playing and other facets of hippie culture taking place.
In May 1976, Antonio Escohotado, a Madrid born philosopher who had arrived on the island five years earlier to start a new life, signed a lease with the landlady for use of the premises. He launched a discotheque named "El taller de los olvidadizos" ("The Workshop of the Forgetful Ones"). He wanted to express that when people go out at night it is to forget their problems and indulge in an unknown world far away from ordinary routine. However, the next day he realized that the Greek word Amnesia contains it all.
In 1978, Ginés Sánchez, a manufacturer from Madrid took over Amnesia. Unexpected closings alternated with wonderful summers with capacity crowds in active competition with the other discothèques, such as Ku (now Privilege), Pacha, Glory's and Lola's.
In the 1980s, Prontxio Izaguirre took over the running of Amnesia, and the music changed to dance music, a mix between pop and funk, and hip hop. Freestyle mixing was permitted and house was about to take over. The original Balearic Beat emerged invented by legends like DJ Alfredo Fiorito.[5] On the night of June 22, 1991 Amnesia reopened under MFC management. It is at this time that the clubs of Ibiza began to gain international fame. In the mid nineties, Ezna Sands was instrumental in the arrival of many UK promoters and labels, including the legendary Joseph Mullen, onto the Balearic Island and into Amnesia specifically. This heralded a shift in the perception that the Island was simply a destination for 18-30 holiday makers, instead becoming the mecca for dance music enthusiasts with Amnesia and Pacha.
The club experienced expansion with the number of bars increasing from four to 16, and from a staff of 30 to more than 200 employees during the summer festivities. The staff now includes waiters, go-go dancers, security and administration staff. Nowadays the venue has a capacity of 5,000 people and is divided into two areas: Main Room and Terrace and is home to Do Not Sleep, Elrow parties amongst a host of other artists playing here from Carl Cox, Martin Garrix, Armin Van Buuren, & many many more

Anyone else remember the dj being up high and the big graphic equaliser. Cream and the foam parties were awesome. 98-2008. Loved Amnesia!!

Yea he was wrong about where the “real” dj was on Kevin and Perry. it was the same place but it was on the same level as where Kevin and Perry was above the big graphic equaliser. Seems there is some scaffold rig there now for lighting. The big steam cannon was across the room from the dj just below the VIP lounge.
First time at Amnesia was 2017 watching Marco Carola. The place was packed. Huge drop and the place erupted. Best feeling ever. Went back in 2019 watching Eats Everything all night long. Absolute banger of a night. My ears were ringing for 3 days after. Can’t wait to get back in 2022…..even though I’m 43.

My first club I ever went to. It was 1996 and I was 16. It's changed so much since then but will always have a special place in my heart
This just pooped up again and it was great to watch. My first time was 1998 and my last was 2019, before Covid. I'm 64 now and not a frequent clubber but man, I still miss it.
wow love the drone bits amazing never been to this club
I have so many memories in this club, so many jaded memories anyway lol
As a mature adult now looking back on your vlog, wow brought back a great night 1999 with Carl Cox behind the decks in amnesia, sunrise and gouryella pumping in the terrace. Still remember it 25 yrs on👍, sad to hear about privilege, was there 1998 and 1999 for manumission ❤
Haven't been Ibiza yet but my time will come! Wish I had the money and was a few years older in the early 2000s!
Firstly, fantastic sweeps of the club by the drone operator....flying up stairs, through hand-rails, between both rooms, over the DJ booth, until finally coming to rest pointing at the "Amnesia" logo. Really great footage! And seemingly, all in a single take with no cuts! Secondly, my first time in Amnesia (which occurred the first time I went to Ibiza in 2001) was at GODS KITCHEN (a trance night), on Thursday nights. These were the years when Ferry Corsten was huge and doing his best work. The nights at Gods Kitchen really hammered home my desire and need to come back to Ibiza year after year and enjoy the club scene, which i've done since then (except 2020). I aim to be back twice in 2022.

Such an amazing & legendary club and thank you for an amazing video around the club. As an old trance head my self, I've listened to so many legendary dj sets from this club from legends as Tiesto, Above & Beyond, Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Judge Jules and so on.... Never been to the island, but I hope to visit it and this amazing club one day :)
My first time there was 1998 on a monday, I got flashbacks from your video, remembering the old floor before the renovations. Then memories…..I almost started crying, better times than today. I had to pause and rewatch after I got a grip on myself. Covid life sucks.

My first time was in June 2014. I was there with my girlfriend. And her friend got tickets for the three of us to get in. We were immediately taken to the main room by security, exactly where you entered in your video. I was impressed by the light and the sound and the people. That was a special evening that I always will remember.
2023,elrow, August it was amazing Nothing can Beat Amnesia
Wow, how much this club has evolved since I first went in 1987 as an 18 year old. Back then it was still open air and the Legend Alfredo reigned supreme. Over the years I've seen the transformation through the 90's when Cream was the night to be at or Cocoon with Sven Vath. For me the naughties took a dip with some hit and miss nights. I have played at Privelage in 2001 but it was always Amnesia which influenced my musical style and where I've always wanted to play. It's the one that got away. An amazing history and an amazing club. I'd love them to do a 1987-90 reunion.
Wow memories I first visited the white isle in 2003 fell in love with the place , many a great nights here…I feel old 😢

First year-2005. First return since last week, better than ever ❤
Went in 97 and saw Oakie and Dave Ralph DJ in the main room. I remember the massive JBL horns and the light coming up in the courtyard. The sound system for a JBL rigg (Junk but loud) was actually one of the best on the Island. Amazing club.
the first club I had ever been to in Ibiza back in 2019. was one of the best nights of my life hands down cant wait to go back one day

I’ve been to ibiza twice, I went to amnesia in 2018 the first time I went. And it absolutely blew my mind, I spent most of my night in the club room having a class time, and I walked up that ramp under the arch way to go onto the terrace, it was Elrow, and its had me facinated ever since, lookin back on the night i was never able to get my bearings with the club (probably because I was too out of it) so its good seeing it empty and in light haha. Can’t wait to go back. I had a one way flight booked in 2020 but No need to explain why that never went ahead haha. Good video tho mate
Had some great nights in there stretching back to the 90s. Loved the Cocoon nights later on and favourite was probably when Dubfire played the Terrace. He dropped a dance remix of one of my favourite ever tunes by my favourite band Depeche Mode. That tune was Behind the Wheel from the Music for the Masses album. Pivotol moment for me because i first heard Depeche Mode play this live in reunified Berlin on 1990s World Violation tour. Was a big buzz hearing a remix of it 20 years later in my favourite Club by one of my favourite Djs on the Magical island. Will be there again and in Amnesia in 5 weeks time nearly another 15 years later. 🙌
Absolutely savage man!!! Staggering here 😂😂😂😂 JOC, PVD and prydz were my memories.

Would have loved going there in the 90's or 2005 when Tiesto still played Trance (there is his amazing set on KZread) but was too young...😊
Out of all the clubs on the island and i went to a few of them Amnesia holds a special place in the heart and memories. Went there a few time in the mid-late 90's just loved the ambience of the place from the main part to next door which one year Cream ( Thursday night ) was in there. Also some of the filming of Ibiza uncovered was done in there as well. Seeing the inside i do remember seeing the DJ booth on the upper level and not on the dance floor where it is now.
So many beautiful memories in the main room for Cream! 💜

Been there twice, 2000 and then 2001. Both times was for Cream, PvD was Djing at least for one of the nights I remember. I have some amazing memories of the place, but it's really hard to put my memories against how the club looks in your video. Nightclubs always look _very_ different empty in the daytime! I could have sworn the DJ booth in the main room was higher than it looks here, and I seem to remember the terrace had some trees in it?? But really cool to see it like this, great video!

For me the greatest club I’ve been too, it had everything from the dark main room and the surreal terrace, some amazing nights there that date back to my first visit in 1998 through to 2005, I was even there when Kevin & Perry was filmed, to be honest I didn’t have a clue what was going on but they filmed between Guy Ornadel & Seb Fontaine’s set at Cream, Harry Enfield was asking the crowd to boo and cheer at various points! Other highlights are Tiesto in 2004, the best tech trance set I’ve ever heard and Cocoon where Sven Vath has tore the main room down many times, particularly remember a Marco Carola Cocoon night that flashed past in about 10 mins it was so good!

1990 was my first experience the first year with the arched glass retractable roof which when they opened it and you could see the stars the DJ was high up was great when the sun came up There was a chill out bit was only small with the mirrored pyramid everyone used to sit round it if i remember there was a old red phonebox up there too it was open air that bit so when you walked back in to the main room that sound system wow. They covered all the open top roofs KU as well KU was before Privilege in about 96 i think?? Lived there 92 and 93 Happy Days Every thing changes its a new era now. Grab it and enjoy cause Ibiza can change your life 😊
1990 was first visit and unrecognisable now. Great times with DJs playing true Balearic tunes. Not sure todays DJs would compare to the truly great Alfredo
