New Ibiza club [UNVRS] will open on former Privilege site in 2025

Details of a new nightclub on the former site of Ibiza’s Privilege have been unveiled.

Named [UNVRS], the new venue is being billed as the world’s first “hyperclub”, [UNVRS] will combine “high-end” luxury with “the scale and ambition of arena events” — following in the footsteps of owners The Night League’s other venues Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza.

The Night League has confirmed that the new venue will open its doors in 2025.

To tease the new nightclub, [UNVRS] has enlisted the help of Hollywood actor Will Smith as part of its UFO-themed social media campaign — that has seen the Men In Black star film himself “looking for aliens” on the White Isle.

The clip was posted in response to a TikTok that alluded to UFOs around Ibiza’s Es Vedrà beauty spot, a video that has now garnered 52 million views as well as rumours of Netflix series.

Smith then walks around the site of the venue, recognisable as the Privilege site due to the fractured dome — meeting up with Night League CEO and founder Yann Pissenem.

“This campaign has been truly out of this world,” says Yann Pissenem. “Now that the truth is out there, we can’t wait to welcome everyone to our new universe in 2025 as we launch the world’s first Hyperclub.”

The announcement comes following years of speculation around the future of Privilege. The 10,000-capacity was first shuttered in 2018 after its license was suspended due to failing an inspection that discovered that the nightclub’s architecture had been “illegally” modified to increase capacity.

Last year, it was reported that the new owners of the site had received over €8 million in government funding to help rebuild the venue.
