Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel is a brand belonging to the Spanish Palladium Hotel Group. The brand was founded in 2011 after the meeting of Abel Matutes and Yann Pissenem.[1] The brand includes 2 hotels: The Ushuaïa Club and The Ushuaïa Tower. Both hotels are located in Platja d'en Bossa, Ibiza.[2]
The club has a capacity of 4,000 people, and is one of the largest clubs in Ibiza. The club has hosted a number of DJs.[3]
History
The Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Club, formely named Hotel Fiesta Club, opened in 2008, and was overseen by Yann Pissenem. It hosted parties for the following 3 years until 2011, when Pissenem met Abel Matutes Juan, a former Spanish politician who was the president of the Fiesta Hotel Group (renamed in 2012 to Palladium Hotel Group).[2][4]
Following the meeting of Matutes and Pissenem, the former Fiesta Club Playa d’en Bossa underwent renovations with the help of Pissenem's brother, Romain Pissenem and Matues's son, Abel Matutes Prats, and was combined with Pissenem's Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Club to form The Ushuaïa Club Hotel. [5]
In 2013, the Fiesta Playa d'en Bossa Hotel, owned by Palladium and adjacent to The Ushuaïa Club Hotel, was also remodeled and became The Ushuaïa Tower. The two properties combined include 3 different restaurants, and 415 rooms.[2]
In July 2019, the club hosted Swedish House Mafia during their Save the World Reunion Tour,[6][7] after the group announced the date in April of that year.[8][9][10]
The club was also featured in the video for the David Guetta and Bebe Rexha song, "I'm Good (Blue)".
The club's regular residents include mainstream DJs such as David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Calvin Harris, Kygo, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Swedish House Mafia, Hardwell and Armin van Buuren, alongside their own regular "Ants" show. The late Avicii was also a regular resident until his retirement from touring in 2016, playing his very last show at the club.[11]
