The history of Space Ibiza begins with a simple idea that accidentally became one of the most defining moments in electronic music culture. When Pepe Roselló opened Space, Playa d’en Bossa was almost empty and far from what we know today. What made everything different was the decision to open the club early in the morning, at eight, right when hotel guests were waking up or coming back from the night. People would walk in, grab breakfast on the terrace and start dancing as the sun rose. Without realising it, the legendary Space mornings had been born.
What made these mornings special was how natural everything felt. There was no strategy or plan. People arrived from hotel shifts, night shifts, afterparties and early flights, all mixing together in the warm morning light. The terrace became the heart of the island, a place where the day started with music instead of silence. The sunlight, the energy and the people created a vibe that cannot be reproduced today.
For those who never experienced it, Space was not just a club. It was a feeling. It was the moment when Ibiza woke up dancing and where strangers connected instantly. The famous planes flying low over the terrace, the sunlight hitting the dancefloor, the mix of workers, tourists and ravers created a magic that still lives in the memories of anyone who was there. Those mornings shaped the identity of the island and influenced the global clubbing scene for decades.
Space closed its doors in 2016, marking the end of an era. But even after its closure, the stories, the videos and the memories continue to travel across generations. The spirit of Space remains alive because what happened on that terrace changed Ibiza forever. It became part of dance music history.
Today, people look back at those mornings with admiration, curiosity and nostalgia. Whether you lived it or only heard about it, the energy of Space Ibiza is still part of the culture we celebrate. It is a reminder of how a simple idea, born by chance, can leave a legacy that continues to inspire music lovers around the world.
