History
Opened in 1970s. One of the original Ibiza clubs - another one which used to be open air, and probably the first club in the world with a swimming pool.


Location
Half way between Ibiza and san Antonio on the main road, near San Rafael. Tricky to miss, as it rises like a spaceship over the hills of San Rafael.

Music Policy
Very varied with nights offering music from each and every genre, from funky breakbeat to full on trance and techno. When the entire club is open, it is split up into 3 different musical areas, which means you are fairly guaranteed to find something to make you groove. The sound system is large to say the least. Well, Privilege is the size of a football pitch.

Inside Privilege

You will be lucky not to get lost in Privilege. You enter the club down a massive staircase, and are bang in the middle of (probably) the world's largest dancefloor. Fantastic atmosphere when full, you can spend the whole night wandering around the terraced gardens (with Palm trees) or upstairs in the VIP lounge (with real VIPs); there are several different dance areas with different music styles (Manumission even has a resident toilet Dj)...Privilege has to be seen to be believed.

Privilege (formerly known as KU) enjoys legendary status not only on Ibiza, but worldwide. After all, not every club can boast a capacity of 10.000 and a swimming pool to cool you off when the going gets hot. Formerly the darling of the late-eighties Jet Set, super models and rock stars, Privilege (at this time known as KU) was forced to close down in the early nineties - alleged rumours of drug trafficking and mafia abounded.


Since re-opening in 1994 under a new name, Privilege has become synonomous with the largest party of them all....Manumission. For the last 8 years, monday nights on Ibiza just haven't been the same. For those of you who haven't heard of Manumission, do yourselves a favour and check it out. Transvestites on perilously high trapezes, dwarfs peeling potatoes, wicked fancy dress dancers, and a refreshingly non-trancey sound. Yes it is pricey, yes it is worth it.

Prices
Expect to pay up to 60 € for Manumission. Other nights vary between 25 € and 50 €. There are often free tickets in Ibiza Town and San Antonio for the lesser known promoters' nights. A Vodka Lemon costs approx. 10 € and a beer 8 €. Reduced price flyers are also available.

Queuing is the norm. So buy tickets beforehand to save trouble on the door.
