UNVRS in Ibiza

RATED #1 CLUB

It only opened May 30th 2025, but [UNVRS] — pronounced ‘Universe’ — has shot straight to the top of the chart in its first year. The multi-million-euro Ibiza “hyperclub” reached for the stars in every possible way, and the result has been out of this world! 

It started with a promotional teaser featuring actor Will Smith and a UFO, and on arrival at the club it’s almost like walking into a UFO (a motif echoed on some of the [UNVRS] branding). The futuristic giant dome-like structure serves as one of the club’s chillout zones, and the Main Room boasts the propensity for immersive visuals on its side walls and ceiling structures, and the huge screen just behind the DJ decks permits all manner of next-level visuals. The vast windows at the back of the Main Room — first unveiled during Michael Bibi’s exhilarating set on the opening night — really come into their own at sunrise, creating proper Balearic moments as night turns into day and the next chapter unfolds. 

To complement the Main Room theatrics there are a couple of smaller rooms — the Wild Comet and the Bunker — as well as sparkling mirrored corridors, several outdoor terraces, high-class service, and the very best in futuristic, bar-raising sound and lighting. On an outside wall — and new for ’26 — is a hand-carved mural by Portuguese artist Vhils, produced in association with W1 Curates. The attention to detail all round is second to none. 

As befitting such structural ambition, [UNVRS] secured some of the best in forward-thinking festival headline-level DJs to take up residencies in its first year. Eric Prydz’s Holosphere 2.0, the incredible Anyma A/V show, Jamie Jones’ Paradise, high-flying Australian showman FISHER, David Guetta’s madcap Galactic Circus, the multi-sensory elrow, and the legendary Carl Cox all took a different night of the week through summer, and most of these have remained for the 2026 season, with the addition of a few more special events, featuring the likes of Black Coffee, Peggy Gou, ANOTR, ANTS, Adriatique, Indira Paganotto, Armin van Buuren, John Summit and more. 

For Yann, [UNVRS] was never about building a club; it was about redefining what a club can be. “It’s a different way of experiencing everything,” he tells DJ Cavon. “It was conceived as a long-term vision to explore new possibilities in music, technology and human connection. From the beginning, it was imagined as a new kind of space where the scale of arena-level production meets the intimacy of the dancefloor, and where new forms of creative expression can emerge. At its core, it has always been about creating a place where people can feel something genuinely unique.” 

Yann considers that [UNVRS]’s arrival at No. 1 is really only the beginning for the club. “Being here carries a great responsibility, and a strong motivation to keep evolving, to push boundaries, and to explore what music entertainment can become when creativity, culture and experience are brought together at the highest level. In our second season we look forward to continuing to surprise the international electronic music community, and to taking this universe, born in Ibiza and now shared by so many, even further.”
