Amnesia is one of several internationally renowned clubs in Ibiza. The club is located close to the village of San Rafael on the highway between Sant Antoni de Portmany and Ibiza Town and less than a kilometer apart from Privilege, both among the island's most popular nightclubs. The club can pack more than 5,000 people on the dance floors. Amnesia was the first major outdoor club on the island. Today the previously open-air terrace is closed, but light still floods in as sunrise approaches. Like Privilege, is famous for its sunrise dance floor.

It's home to the hugely successful Cream night, which is one of the longest-running UK nights on the island. German promotion Cocoon, run by the veteran DJ and producer Sven Väth, is now one of its most successful nights, taking the share of Monday's crowds now Manumission, for many years its biggest rival at Privilege, moved to Fridays in 2006. One of the oldest clubs on the island (island legend Alfredo was a resident in the 80s, when it was open air and the haunt of celebrities in the days before thousands of clubbers flocked to the island every season) it opened in the 1970s, and survived closures and memorable summers alike before it finally cemented its position as one of the island's premier clubs in the early 90s.

It was also home to the famous La Troya Asesina night up until 2006, when it finally moved to Space to end a long association with the venue.
