Venue: Privilege Ibiza
Town: Ibiza, ES

Privilege Ibiza, originally known as Ku Club (1979-95), was a music venue and nightclub in Ibiza until its closure in 2019. It was awarded the "world's largest nightclub" according to the Guinness Book of Records, and was defined as a superclub with a capacity of 10,000 people and encompassing 6,500 m² (69,940 ft²). It was located close to the village of Sant Rafael de Sa Creu on the Spanish island of Ibiza, less than one kilometre (0.6 miles) from the nightclub Amnesia. It remained closed after the summer of 2019 and in 2024 UNVRS was announced to be opening on the site where Privilege had previously operated. The history of Privilege began in the early 1970s when it started out as a restaurant, then expanded to include a bar and a community swimming pool. It was then known as Club San Rafael. In 1979, the venue was sold to the Real Sociedad footballer José Antonio Santamaría, together with the creative team of Brasilio de Oliviera (founder of La Troya Asesina, one of Ibiza's longest running nights) and Gorri. The venue then changed its name to KU, after the name of a God from Hawaiian mythology (see Kū). The appeal of the club was such that it commissioned a medium-length film showcasing the many wonders of Ibizan landscapes and nightlife in the mid-eighties. Throughout the 1980s, KU Club earned a reputation initially as Europe's premier polysexual but predominately gay nightspot and was compared to an open-air version of the famous Studio 54 in New York. It staged spectacular parties in the main room, which was organized around a swimming pool and a statue of Ku. The venue was also where the video to "Barcelona" by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé was filmed on 30 May 1987. It hosted early live performances by groups such as Spandau Ballet and Kid Creole and the Coconuts. The club featured in a Channel 4 documentary called A Short Film about Chilling, which labelled KU as "the mirror of Ibiza". A group of fashion designers called Locomía had shows at KU. Af
