Chinois Ibiza 2027: dates, residencies and tickets alerts

Chinois Ibiza 2027: where the venue is and what kind of place it is

Chinois is in the Ibiza Marina area of Ibiza Town, which one club listing describes as the well-to-do part of the harbour district. That is a very different setting from DC10 beside the airport road or Amnesia on the highway: you are in the town itself, with restaurants, bars and the harbour nearby, so a night here can begin with dinner and a walk. The venue is described as a restaurant and club, which suggests a space where food, drinks and dancing share the same evening. The street address, capacity and operator are not confirmed in our sources, so check the venue's own information before you book anything. This is also a good place for people who find huge superclubs overwhelming, because the scale feels more personal. It is also worth saying that a venue of this kind rewards booking ahead for the popular nights, so once dates appear, decide quickly which of the three weekly parties you want and keep the other evenings free for the beach and for rest.

The short history of Chinois 2027 in the former Heart space

According to the 2026 residency coverage we checked, Chinois opened in 2022 in the space that had previously been Heart Ibiza. That makes it a relatively young name in a scene where several venues date back to the 1970s and 1980s, and it explains why you will see far fewer old stories about it than about Amnesia or Pacha. What the club has done since then is to build a programme around established house brands. In 2025 Honey Dijon hosted the Thursday night, and in 2026 Defected took over, celebrating more than 25 years of its label. For a venue of this age, that is a notable line-up of hosts, and it suggests that Chinois wants to be taken seriously by people who care about the music, not only by diners. If you are comparing venues, the main difference is the setting: Chinois is about town energy, a short walk from the harbour, rather than a long drive and a huge dancefloor, and that changes how you plan the whole evening around it.

Defected at Chinois Ibiza 2027: Thursday nights

The biggest name on the 2026 calendar was Defected, which ran Thursdays from 7 May to 8 October, a total of 23 weeks. It was described as the first time the label had held a residency at Chinois, though it had previously hosted nights at Pacha. The programme was billed as Defected Forever, a nod to the label's long history, and listings mentioned Kerri Chandler as a guest on 15 August and Pete Tong on 19 September. Whether Defected returns in 2027 is unknown, and venues sometimes change the Thursday host from one year to the next, as happened when Honey Dijon gave way in 2026. If house music with soul and a sing-along feel is your style, set an alert and watch for the first announcements in the new year. That balance between kitchen and dancefloor is the point of the place, and it is why we recommend treating the evening as a whole, with the early hours spent over dinner and the late hours spent listening to the headliner.

Claptone and Bedouin: other Chinois Ibiza 2027 nights to know

Thursday was not the only night. Saturdays belonged to Claptone: The Masquerade, which ran from 16 May to 10 October in its second season at the venue. As the name suggests, the party has a masked theme, and guests who join in tend to enjoy it more than those who stand at the edge. Sundays were Bedouin presents Saga, from 21 June to 4 October, which gave the venue a more relaxed end to the weekend. We could not verify the line-ups for individual weeks beyond the guests already named, so we will not invent them. These three nights show a clear approach: one residency for each major moment of the week, aimed at people who want a polished night with a recognisable identity. See our residencies overview for the wider picture. The pattern of a name-brand host, a long run of weeks and a fixed night is typical of how Ibiza residencies work, and it means you can plan a trip around one weekday if you already know which music you enjoy.

Chinois Ibiza 2027 opening and closing: the 2026 dates

The 2026 season at Chinois opened on Thursday 7 May, with the Defected residency starting that evening, which is later than the big April openings at Pacha and the Playa d'en Bossa clubs. The last Defected Thursday was on 8 October, and the Saturday and Sunday residencies finished on 10 October and 4 October respectively. The summer closing party took place on Saturday 17 October, from 23:30 to 06:00, with Guy Gerber. That is a week after the main closing weekend at Amnesia and Pacha, so Chinois can work as a final night if you are staying on after the others have shut. If the pattern holds, 2027 could again begin in early May and finish in mid-October; read our opening parties guide and closing parties guide. The masquerade element may sound like a gimmick, but regulars treat it as part of the fun, and a simple mask or costume detail costs little. It is the sort of night where joining in changes the atmosphere around you.

Chinois 2027 prices: what the listings showed

Price information for Chinois is thinner than for the big clubs. One ticket listing showed entry from about USD 45, and we treat that as an approximate, indicative figure seen in 2026, not an official price. We did not find reliable numbers for tickets by night, for dinner, or for drinks, so we cannot tell you what a beer or a cocktail cost. Because the venue combines food and music, your total spend will depend on whether you reserve a table, eat there, or simply arrive for the party. Set a budget that includes transport back to your hotel, and compare it against the figures in our Ibiza budget guide. For advice on when to buy and what to check, read the tickets guide. A closing party in the third week of October also illustrates how the season is stretching later, so if you like quiet beaches by day and good weather, October is a pleasant month to consider; see our October guide for how it compares.

Getting to Chinois Ibiza 2027 from the airport and your hotel

From the airport, the AERO3 express to Ibiza Port took about 20 minutes in 2026 and ran every 30 minutes from 1 May to 15 October, at about EUR 3.50 by card. A taxi from the airport to Ibiza Town was listed at roughly EUR 16 to EUR 22 under the older tariff, and a new tariff was approved in September 2026 but its start date is not confirmed. For getting home late at night, the Discobus D1 line ends at Ibiza Port, but the nearest stop to the venue is not confirmed, so check the route before relying on it. Because Chinois is in town, walking from many Ibiza Town hotels is realistic. Our airport transfers guide and getting around guide explain the options. We would rather say we do not know than quote an invented menu price, because a trusted guide should point out its gaps, and you will find the real figures on the venue's own pages once the programme is released.

Where to stay for Chinois Ibiza 2027 nights

The simplest answer is Ibiza Town, because the venue is in it and you can often walk home. The old walled quarter and the harbour offer restaurants, shops and sunset views, and our Ibiza Town area guide explains the neighbourhoods. If you would rather be beside the sand, Playa d'en Bossa is a short taxi ride away and is covered in the Playa d'en Bossa guide, although you will need to plan the return. Santa Eulària is quieter and more family friendly, as described in the Santa Eulària guide. Wherever you stay, book early for July and August, and check the island's sustainable tourism tax, which is charged per person per night in accommodation. If you land late, the bus is less frequent in the evening and in the shoulder months, so a taxi can be the more dependable choice, and it is wise to have the address saved on your phone in the local language.

Chinois Ibiza 2027: planning an evening around dinner and the sunset

Because Chinois sits in the town, it combines easily with the rest of an Ibiza day. Spend the afternoon on one of the beaches, return to your hotel to change, and watch the sunset from one of the spots in our sunset guide before dinner. The nights we know about started late, with the 2026 closing party listed from 23:30, so there is no need to rush. Bring a passport or national ID, as most Ibiza venues require guests to be 18 or over. Dress a little smarter than you would for a beach bar, and think about comfortable shoes, since the old town has cobbled streets. Read the Ibiza tips guide for the local rules before you go. The marina area is also lively on summer evenings regardless of the club, so even if you do not have a ticket, you will find plenty to do nearby, and you can decide on the spur of the moment whether to go in.

Chinois Ibiza 2027: frequently asked questions

The answers below cover the questions visitors ask most often about Chinois when they start planning a trip. Since the venue has not announced anything for 2027, each response is clear about what happened in 2026 and what is only an expectation. The first residency announcements on the island usually arrive between January and March, and openings tend to begin from the end of April, with Chinois starting a little later in 2026. If you would like a free message when real dates appear, use the alert on this page, and if you want to compare Chinois with the other venues in town, our complete guide to Ibiza clubs sets them side by side with notes on location and style. Check the date of any announcement carefully, because an event posted for 2026 can stay online for a long time and be mistaken for next year's programme, which is a common cause of wasted bookings.

When does Chinois Ibiza 2027 open?

No date has been announced. In 2026 the venue opened on Thursday 7 May with the start of the Defected residency, and the season ended with a summer closing party on Saturday 17 October. If that pattern repeats, an early May start would be a reasonable expectation for 2027, but it is only an expectation. We could not find an opening date for 2025 in our sources, so we cannot say how consistent the timing has been. Keep flights flexible until the venue announces its programme, which normally happens in the first months of the year, and avoid paying for non-refundable travel that depends on a single guessed night. Checking again in March is sensible, once more details are public. Treat the venue's own announcement as the final word, and do not rely on aggregated listings that may be stale. Our season guide shows the broader calendar if you are choosing between months.

Who played in the Chinois Ibiza 2027 reference season, 2026?

The main names were tied to the three residencies. Defected hosted Thursdays, with Kerri Chandler listed as a guest on 15 August and Pete Tong on 19 September. Claptone: The Masquerade ran on Saturdays, and Bedouin presents Saga ran on Sundays. The summer closing party on 17 October featured Guy Gerber. Beyond these names we do not have reliable line-ups, so we avoid listing others. For 2027 the hosts could change, since Honey Dijon held the Thursday in 2025 and Defected replaced her in 2026. The best way to learn who returns is to wait for the official announcement and compare it with this reference season. Do not trust a line-up posted by anyone other than the venue or its promoters. Those continuing hosts also tell you something about taste: the venue leans towards soulful, melodic house rather than hard techno, so match your expectations to that, and if you are unsure, listen to a few sets before you commit.

Is Chinois Ibiza 2027 a good choice for first-time visitors?

It can be, particularly if you prefer a smaller, town-based evening to a big open-air club. Chinois is in the marina area of Ibiza Town, so you can eat nearby, walk to the venue and often return on foot or by a short taxi ride. The programme in 2026 focused on house music brands with recognisable names, which makes it easy to choose by sound. On the other hand, some visitors want the scale of the large clubs on their first trip, in which case Amnesia or Pacha might fit better. Our guides to Pacha and Amnesia help you compare. Both are easy to reach by taxi from town, and neither is far from the harbour. Finally, remember that tastes differ more than guidebooks admit, so use this page as a starting point, and read the other club guides before you settle on where to spend your most expensive night of the trip.
