Three rooms, one last night: how [UNVRS] shuts down its second summer in San Rafael
The Night League's "hyperclub" took the DJ Mag Top 100 Clubs crown in April 2026, barely eleven months after opening on the old Privilege site. Its season ends on Saturday 10 October with a bespoke production across all three of its rooms.
A dome on the site of Ku
The address in San Rafael has been a nightclub for most of five decades. It ran as Ku Club from 1979 to 1995, then as Privilege from 1995 until 2019, a stretch during which Guinness World Records listed it as the largest club in the world. The site then sat dark. In August 2024 The Night League — the company behind Ushuaïa Ibiza and Hï Ibiza — acquired the property and announced it would reopen under a new name and a new idea about scale.
The launch was handled as a stunt rather than a press release. Yann Pissenem, who runs The Night League, enlisted Will Smith for a video in which Smith chases an unidentified object over the island near Es Vedrà; the object turned out to be a drone flown from the roof of the building. The clip passed 52 million views before the club's name was confirmed. [UNVRS] opened on 30 May 2025 with Carista on first, then Ahmed Spins, Adam Ten back-to-back with Mita Gami, Michael Bibi, Joseph Capriati back-to-back with The Martinez Brothers, and Carl Cox with Jamie Jones holding the room through sunrise.
What the building does
The footprint is roughly 6,500 square metres across three connected rooms, and the main space keeps the 25-metre ceiling height inherited from the Privilege shell. The operators coined "hyperclub" to describe what they were after: arena production inside a room that still behaves like a club rather than a stadium. In practice that means motorised lighting winches, kinetic LED rigs on the side walls, lasers and timed smoke, with the show designed by High Scream, Romain Pissenem's production house, which builds for large touring acts.
Sound in the main room is a custom L-Acoustics installation rather than an off-the-shelf rig, and it is the part reviewers have been least equivocal about — accounts of the room single out balance and clarity at volume rather than sheer loudness. The two smaller spaces are deliberately different in character. The Bunker is the stripped-back, minimal end of the building, and reviews have tended to prefer its lack of ceremony to the main room's theatrics. The Wild Comet is the odder proposition: a micro-club built into the toilets, with its own central DJ booth, sound-reactive walls and the same acoustic treatment applied to the main floor. Between the rooms there are mirrored corridors, outdoor terraces looking back towards Ibiza Town, and a brutalist dome housing a Tree of Life sculpture and a garden deck.
The diary that built the reputation
The first season was programmed to settle the question of whether the biggest names would commit to an untested venue. Eric Prydz brought Holosphere 2.0 to the main room, and David Guetta, Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, Fisher, Anyma and elrow all took nights. That roster largely held for 2026, which opened on 26 April with Miss Monique and Paco Osuna and then settled into a six-night week: John Summit's Experts Only on Mondays, Anyma's Æden on Tuesdays from June through September, Jamie Jones's Paradise on Wednesdays, Fisher on Thursdays, Guetta's Galactic Circus on Fridays, elrow on Saturdays and Carl Cox on Sundays. Armin van Buuren's A State Of Trance and Tiësto also feature in the season's residency roster.
Cox's Sunday run began on 21 June and was built almost entirely around pairings: back-to-backs with Joseph Capriati, David Guetta, The Martinez Brothers, Chris Stussy, Louie Vega, Dennis Cruz, Nicole Moudaber and WhoMadeWho across the summer, with Richie Hawtin, Skepta, Honey Dijon, Luciano, Vintage Culture, DJ Tennis, Loco Dice and Sasha & John Digweed also booked in. It is the clearest statement of what the room is for: a main floor large enough that two headline DJs sharing a booth reads as normal programming rather than a one-off.
Number one, and the complaint underneath it
On 15 April 2026 the club announced it had topped the DJ Mag Top 100 Clubs poll — the first venue to win in its debut year in the poll's twenty-year history. For a building that had been open for one season, it is an unusually fast result, and the 2026 poll drew record voting numbers.
Running alongside that is an unresolved legal argument about how many people the place is allowed to hold. The Ibiza environmental group GEN-GOB Eivissa has filed a complaint against the local administrations, contesting three things: the capacity, the licensing, and whether the work done to the building counts as a renovation or a demolition and rebuild — a distinction that bears on whether the old permission still applies. GEN-GOB's position is that Privilege operated with an authorised maximum of 4,000 and that [UNVRS] cannot exceed it; the group also argues that Sant Antoni town hall never formally declared the old licence expired. Press reporting during 2025 described crowds of 10,000 to 15,000 on site at once. No ruling has been reported, and the figure the club is actually licensed for remains the single least settled fact about it.
How the season winds down
The end of the summer is staged as a sequence rather than a single night, with each residency taking its own farewell before the club's own. Fisher closed his Thursday run on 10 September. Guetta's Galactic Circus ends on Friday 2 October with James Hype and Liva K alongside him; elrow closes on Saturday 3 October with Paco Osuna, Ilario Alicante, Chelina Manuhutu back-to-back with Tini Gessler, and Aat; Carl Cox closes his Sunday residency on 4 October with an all-night-long set.
A second Guetta date was then added to the final weekend, on Friday 9 October, billed with an all-new visual production built for that night and leaning on the hits — "Titanium", "Memories", "I'm Good", "When Love Takes Over". The club's own closing follows on Saturday 10 October.
The closing party
Doors are at 23:30 and all three rooms run separate programming. The main room has Adriatique, Dennis Cruz, East End Dubs, Mochakk, Rafael, Franky Rizardo and The Martinez Brothers, plus a hybrid live-and-DJ set from WhoMadeWho and a guest still unannounced — a tech-house-weighted bill rather than a showcase of any one sound. The Wild Comet takes the looser end: Kamma, Mella Dee, Bender, Dennis Quin, Mr Belt & Wezol and a DJ Mag All Stars slot. Discoliscious and Melon Bomb have the Bunker.
The club says a bespoke show has been built for the night using the full rig for the last time this year. Standard tickets are €125 and a later sunrise ticket is €50, with table bookings sold separately. Free shuttles run from San Antonio and Playa d'en Bossa for ticket holders; the site is about a kilometre from Amnesia and roughly ten minutes by car from either San Antonio or Ibiza Town. Bar prices are at the top of the island's range — around €18 for a beer, €23 for a mixer and €15 for water.
The show, now
The closing party runs on Saturday 10 October 2026 from 23:30 until the room empties after sunrise, across all three spaces at once rather than as a single stage. The main room carries the headline weight — Adriatique, Dennis Cruz, East End Dubs, Mochakk, Rafael, Franky Rizardo, The Martinez Brothers and a hybrid set from WhoMadeWho, with one guest unannounced — and the club says a one-off visual production has been built for the night, using the full kinetic LED, laser and motorised-winch rig for the last time in 2026. The Wild Comet, the sound-reactive micro-club in the toilets, runs its own bill of Kamma, Mella Dee, Bender, Dennis Quin, Mr Belt & Wezol and a DJ Mag All Stars slot; Discoliscious and Melon Bomb take the Bunker, the stripped-back room that accounts of the venue have consistently preferred for atmosphere over the main floor's spectacle. There is no support-act structure in the touring sense: sets are roughly ninety minutes to two hours and the shape of the night is tech house and melodic house in the main room, looser and more experimental in the two smaller spaces. The thing reviewers have been most consistent about is the custom L-Acoustics system in the main room, described as clean and balanced at volume rather than simply loud. Standard entry is €125, a later sunrise ticket €50, tables extra; free shuttles run from San Antonio and Playa d'en Bossa, and bar prices are steep — about €18 a beer, €23 a mixer, €15 for water. The one caveat worth knowing is crowd density: press reports of 10,000–15,000 people on site during 2025 are the basis of an ongoing complaint about the venue's licensed capacity, and clubbers quoted on the subject have tied how good the room feels directly to how many people are in it.
