1. Don’t pay full price. Pick up flyers from bars or PRs that’ll get you in free or with a discount
2. Never arrive before 3am. Clubs will be empty
3. Try to see the dawn at least once
4. If you can’t leave the kids at night, go to Space, preferably on a Sunday morning. Pretend you’ve been up all night
5. Don’t take a camera. They’re banned from most clubs
6. If the main dance floor seems too crowded, explore. Every big club has several rooms and terraces
7. Don’t wear too much. It’s hot in there
8. Ibiza Town’s clubs tend to attract an older more sophisticated crowd. San An’s clubbers are younger. San Rafael is in the middle and attracts both types according to who’s playing
9. Ask clubbers about which are the best nights or check websites such as Ibiza Spotlight (Ibiza-spotlight.com). Don’t trust the PRs – of course they’ll tell you the club they represent is the best
