Ibiza&rsquo;s Most Anticipated Nightclub Opens with a Spectacular Debut

Something monumental has touched down in Ibiza. On Friday, 30 May, thousands gathered beneath an indoor sky stitched with stars to witness the arrival of&nbsp;[UNVRS]&nbsp;(pronounced&nbsp;Universe) &ndash; the island&rsquo;s most ambitious nightclub to date. Built on a dream and launched like a myth, the venue didn&rsquo;t just open &ndash; it&nbsp;landed, unapologetically rewriting the rules of what nightlife can look and feel like.

The Arrival

Born from the vision of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/yannpissenem/">Yann Pissenem</a>&nbsp;&ndash; founder of&nbsp;The Night League&nbsp;and the mind behind&nbsp;Ushua&iuml;a&nbsp;and&nbsp;H&iuml; Ibiza&nbsp;&ndash; [UNVRS] is more than a club. It&rsquo;s part sculpture, part sanctuary, part spectacle.

A forgotten temple of sound &ndash; once home to the iconic Ku and later Privilege &ndash; lost to time and now resurrected for a new era. Refined, reimagined and engineered to endure, [UNVRS] pays homage to its legendary past while stepping boldly into the future.

From the moment you approach its gates, it becomes clear: this is no ordinary experience. A massive UFO sculpture crash-landed at the entrance sets the tone &ndash; mythical, surreal, slightly mischievous. Step inside, descend the grand staircase, and the world opens &ndash; a cathedral of sound and light, where visuals ripple across colossal walls and a custom-built&nbsp;L-Acoustics&nbsp;system hums with perfect clarity.

<h4 style="text-align: center;">&ldquo;From the beginning, the mission was simple: to contribute something meaningful to Ibiza&rsquo;s legacy,&rdquo; says Pissenem. &ldquo;A space that celebrates where we&rsquo;ve been while daring to imagine where we&rsquo;re going.&rdquo;</h4>

The Experience

[UNVRS] is designed to be explored, not just attended. Its architecture pulls from brutalism, retro-futurism and art deco, yet is grounded in earthy Ibizan textures &ndash; whitewashed walls, natural stone and warm light. Every corridor is a journey &ndash; every turn reveals a new terrain of sound and sensation.

The club flows seamlessly between indoor and outdoor zones. There&rsquo;s the&nbsp;Gravity Garden, a lush, open-air terrace cocooned in nature. The&nbsp;Sky Deck, with views that stretch towards Ibiza Town and Formentera. And the&nbsp;Dome, anchored by the glowing, sculptural &ldquo;Tree of Life&rdquo; &ndash; the venue&rsquo;s sacred heart.

And then there&rsquo;s the&nbsp;Wild Comet&nbsp;&ndash; a fully styled micro-club tucked inside the restrooms, complete with its own DJ booth and light-reactive walls. Like everything at [UNVRS], it surprises, delights and invites you to see nightlife differently.

Even the food offering feels curated. In collaboration with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ganasdevicio/">VICIO</a>&nbsp;&ndash; the cult Spanish burger brand &ndash; [UNVRS] becomes home to the world&rsquo;s first burger club inside a nightclub. The standout? A bold, unexpected pairing: crispy chicken tenders served with caviar &ndash; indulgent, irreverent and destined to become a post-midnight ritual.

The Production

This was no ordinary opening. The show &ndash; crafted by&nbsp;High Scream, led by&nbsp;Romain Pissenem&nbsp;&ndash; was a kinetic symphony of light, sound and movement. Lasers danced across the ceiling like celestial maps. Acrobats descended through beams of sculpted light. Jets of smoke, LED pods and rotating laserblades created a visual language that felt like a cross between sci-fi cinema and sacred ritual.

The energy wasn&rsquo;t just electric &ndash; it was alchemical.

The Soundtrack

Dutch selector&nbsp;Carista&nbsp;had the honour of pressing play on the very first track ever played inside [UNVRS] &ndash;&nbsp;Tornado Wallace&rsquo;s &ldquo;Bitter Suite (Symphony Mix)&rdquo;&nbsp;&ndash; a moment that felt ceremonial. From there, the tempo climbed:&nbsp;Ahmed Spins,&nbsp;Adam Ten b2b Mita Gami&nbsp;and a euphoric headline set by&nbsp;Michael Bibi.

As midnight deepened, the legends stepped in.&nbsp;Joseph Capriati b2b The Martinez Brothers&nbsp;delivered two hours of blistering rhythm before handing over to&nbsp;Carl Cox b2b Jamie Jones&nbsp;&ndash; a closing set that lit up the dancefloor and carried the crowd into pure euphoria.

Over in the Wild Comet, a parallel dimension thrived:&nbsp;Pascal Moscheni b2b Frankybeats,&nbsp;Salom&eacute; Le Chat,&nbsp;S.A.M.,&nbsp;KOKO&nbsp;and finally&nbsp;Paul Reynolds, who closed the space as morning light returned to the island.

The Future

What began as a whisper &ndash; a UFO sighting, cryptic posters, a surprise appearance by&nbsp;Will Smith&nbsp;&ndash; has now become something tangible. [UNVRS] is not just a space &ndash; it&rsquo;s a statement. A modular arena designed to evolve &ndash; from underground moments to full-scale spectacle.

The season ahead promises to be nothing short of historic, with residencies and one-off shows from:
 &bull; Eric Prydz&rsquo;s Holosphere 2.0&nbsp;| Mondays, 2 June &ndash; 1 September
 &bull; Anyma&nbsp;| Tuesdays, 8 July &ndash; 26 August
