We decided to be a be a bit adventurous and travel to EL Divino on a
party boat which cost a mere 2 Euro's which we caught at Ibiza Town.
EL Divino is located on a Marina in Perto Nueva so catching the party boat straight
to the club sets you up for the night a head.

Tonight we had come to experience Party promoters Defected In The House from London
who have a exceptional history on putting on club nights so we had a
feeling we were in for a good night. We would advice people to arrive early as the
night is hugely popular so to beat the queue come before 1 am.

On arriving at the club you will notice a attractive setting with
stairs leading up to the entrance with outdoor lighting.
We were welcomed by a friendly door staff who ran a efficient guest
list queue so we were soon inside getting our first impression of EL Divino
which was divine. The Decor and design was contemporary with wooden decking
leading across the main dance floor to the out door Marina Terrace area.

This Venue also has a exclusive VIP area were a bottle of spirit costs you
240 Euro's which gains you access to the VIP area, we decided
to give it a miss and explore the club instead.

The venue has seating areas on both inside and outside so you can grab a
cooling cocktail
before strutting your stuff on the dance floor.

There are 3 main bars and drink prices range from 10 - 15 Euro's for a spirit with
a mixer and all your drinks are served with a big smile from the friendly bar staff.
At the main bar there are steps that lead down to the main dance floor
where everyone is getting on down to the pumping sound of house music
as you would expect from Defected In The House club nights.

You can then walk
to the marina terrace through glass doors which is
sheltered by a canopy where the view in the night sky is just bliss, looking
across the calm waters gentle lighting and the yacht's along
the horizon creates a tranquil feeling.

You can re enter through other glass doors that leads you to the raised DJ platform
where I found DJ Brian Tappert filling the air with the sounds of soulful house music.
A very talented DJ who truly entertained the clubbers throughout his set,
it was nice to look round and see everyone enjoying themselves
for the DJ had done what he had been paid for.

They were white dressed dancers who's performance excited the crowd,
who were getting on down it really did add to the atmosphere.
Defected In The House backdrops were around the main dance floor and
behind the raised DJ Box, the lighting effects were very good and last but
not least the sound system was not to be criticized as it pumped out through the club.

The club filled very quickly, with in the hour it was almost full to its capacity,
with locals amongst tourists from Italy, Germany and England.
The whole crowd were friendly and the dress code varied but was
overall casual and smart dress.

I was surprised to find even with a capacity crowd the whole venue was kept
spotless all night from the Lavatory areas to dance floors and a added bonus
was the fact that the air conditioning remained on all night cooling down the clubbers.

There is also a Merchandise shop selling all goods from Cigarette to souvenir's
and other accessories.

EL Divine is a very elegant venue which is beautifully designed to
host such great promotions like Defected In The House which is one not to be missed.
The whole night was excellent the only bad point was when it
was time to shut, see you all next year!
