Pacha is a nightclub franchise with headquarters in Ibiza, Spain. The first Pacha club was opened in Sitges outside Barcelona in 1967. The Ibiza club, located in Ibiza Town, is the best known venue today. In a 2012 DJ Magazine poll of the world's 100 best nightclubs, Pacha rated third.[1]

Brothers Ricardo and Piti Urgell opened their second Pacha club in Ibiza, Spain, in 1973. (In 2007, musician James Blunt released a song called "1973" about the club, which was subsequently remixed by well-known DJ Pete Tong and played during his own sets at the club.)

The club was also featured in the 2004 movie It's All Gone Pete Tong.

Musically, Pacha is best known for specializing in house music but has five different rooms incorporating other musical styles. DJ Steve Lawler stated in a 2006 Ministry of Sound interview that "Pacha's a great club with an amazing sound system".[2] Every September the club is host to the annual DJ Awards.

In 2008, Pete Tong moved his residency away from Pacha in favour of promoting his own performance, "Wonderland", at the Eden nightclub in San Antonio. However, Tong has since returned to Pacha to facilitate a Friday night residency, "All Gone Pete Tong."[3]

In the video game Test Drive Unlimited 2 (2011), the club can be seen from the outside in Eivissa, but you can not go in. A sign outside says "Pure Pacha. Every Friday Night."
