Everybody loves a bargain. We certainly do. Sometimes though, the biggest deals can be right under your nose. A favourite amongst British holidaymakers, the resort of San Antonio offers clubbers the chance to party without breaking the bank.
Not only does San Antonio make a great base for a clubbing holiday, but the town is well known for offering lots of budget accommodation. We happen to think it goes one better than that, by offering affordable parties to budget-conscious clubbers.
While Ibiza can provide experiences for every budget, including high-luxury ones, the truth is it doesn't have to be that way.
The best part of all is that you needn't worry about sacrificing quality. Let us explain more.
While club tickets elsewhere on the island can regularly broach €50 and are sometimes known to approach €100 on the door, that's never the case in San Antonio. In fact, if you're savvy enough and well prepared, you can club for €20 or less.
Forward planning is essential in these cases. First port of call is to pick your dates and get your flights booked up. Once that is done, you can move onto the fun part: sorting your clubbing itinerary and buying those Euro-saving early-bird tickets.
What are you waiting for?
Ibiza Rocks | Various
Starting off slap bang in the middle of town, we head first to the home of the Ibiza pool party, otherwise known as Ibiza Rocks. Catering to a wide variety of tastes, Ibiza Rocks makes partying affordable whether you like house, rap or pop music. It has it all.
Super saving early-bird tickets are still available for a range of parties, including hip-hop pool party Applebum from €15. Saxophonist Lovely Laura and her DJ husband Ben Santiago are in the same boat, with tickets for their feelgood Sunday party starting from €15.
Even house music central Cuckoo Land has a handful of early-birds left on selected dates.
Meanwhile, Craig David's banged out TS5 party is just €35, if you're prepared to arrive before 16:00. Not bad for one the island's most popular weekly events.
Defected | Eden | Fridays
Remember what we said about not having to sacrifice quality? Well, you don't get much bigger than Defected. The record label and event series is a global phenomenon, emitting its house ethos across all four corners of the globe.
Wily veteran Simon Dunmore has pledged to make his club night affordable to Ibiza's young club base.
Acknowledging how expensive the island can get for newer generations, Simon has made good on that promise. Ever since its switch to Eden in 2017, Defected has looked after its young fanbase.
Not only is Defected packed out week-in, week-out, but it won't break the bank to attend. Early-bird tickets for all 20 dates are on sale at the snip price of €20 - including the opening party on 15 May.
Names such as Sam Divine, Amine Edge & DANCE, Low Steppa and Jess Bays all play regularly, so you're pretty much guaranteed to dance in the presence of a house master on any given date.
Equally as cheap is Eden's Tuesday night Garage Nation, which is launching a full summer residency for the first time in 2020. Cheaper still, is Terminal 4 presents Tronic on Wednesday - just €15. Meanwhile, Thursday night SHINE is fractionally more at €30.
That's your choice of house, garage, techno or trance ticked-off under one venue.
The Zoo Project | Benimussa Park | Sundays
Just outside of San Antonio is Benimussa Park, home to The Zoo Project. Once upon a time, the venue was actually a petting zoo, but it never really took off. Thankfully, we much prefer it in its current usage, and The Zoo Project is a party like no other.
Outdoor and under the sun - this is what clubbing on Ibiza is all about. Whether you want to go purely for the underground house music or you want to get body painted as sparkling unicorns with your friends, The Zoo Project is a fun-filled party with lots going on.
Organisers even put on a free shuttle bus to ferry you safely back to San Antonio afterwards, saving you even more money. You can't say fairer than that.
Currently, tickets are €20 for all dates, but these will go up closer to the time. That said, The Zoo Project is one of the best value parties, even when tickets are at full price.
O Beach Ibiza | DAILY
Back in San Antonio centre, another daytime venue making partying affordable is O Beach.
Weekly parties such as Kisstory, HotBed and Ibiza Spray never fail to entertain, with their blend of sunkissed tunes and poolside antics.
Tickets will go on sale soon with prices ranging from €15 to €25 for most events.
O Beach has even made VIP clubbing more affordable - a great upgrade to make your holiday extra special when split between friends.
Between these options above, there's practically a whole week's worth of clubbing to get stuck into.
