Abstract
The studies that take as its protagonist the nightlife supply are scarce and purely descriptive. Ibiza is known worldwide for its nightclubs and festivals. The objective of this work is a first approach to the history of the industry in Ibiza, its global relevance and a description of the current nightlife supply. The origins of the sector are in the late fifties, but the clubs appeared in the seventies. The image of Party Island would be difficult to explain without the boom of the eighties. In the nineties was formed a group of establishments that are worldwide references. The supply leadership of the island is reflected in its strong presence in the Winter Music Awards Conference and the DJMag Top 100 Clubs list. The nightlife supply is basically structured in preparties, parties and, sometimes, afters. The success of the sector is based on entrepreneurs and establishments with a long history and an important policy of reinvestment and innovation. But its greatest relevance lies in its ability to attract tourists. Clubber tourism is the principal complement of sun and beach tourism. Together they represent the largest part of the tourist business on the island. Therefore, the current tourism model depends both of these establishments.
