One of Ibiza’s most famous legends comes to an end after 40 years on the scene
One of Ibiza’s best-loved and oldest beach clubs, Bora Bora, is due to close for good in October after 40 years in work.
The iconic club announced its closure after Diario de Ibiza broke the news, noting that the venue is due to undergo a refurbishment ahead of the 2023 season.
“Dear and beloved, followers, fans, haters and lovers, we do not want to sadden you with this news, although yes, it is a farewell,” Bora Bora announced on Facebook yesterday.

Bora Bora was Ibiza’s first club to feature a beachfront restaurant-later known as the beach club, or beach clubs – and since its opening in 1982, it has hosted several of the world’s biggest DJs.
After 40 years of operation, Bora Bora now also features a swimming pool, outdoor terraces and an apartment complex.
“All of you who have enjoyed with us, we want you to remember this, that all those great moments lived come to you and come to say goodbye to us, but dancing.
Because as a farewell, we want a big party. It is the end of many stages and we want to celebrate it in style, as in the old days, without filters,” they announced.
The reason for the closure of the club has not been mentioned by the local or Diario de Ibiza, but points to the reconstruction in the Playa d’en Bossa area where the venue is situated.

“The comprehensive transformation of the Playa d’en Bossa area began a decade ago and the Bora Bora complex, which for 40 years has known how to evolve to adapt to the Times, joins this transformation,” said the club’s management.
Since the announcement, Bora Bora has launched its “last chance to dance” campaign, offering clubgoers free admission every night and a handful of major events leading up to its closure on October 15.
