528 Ibiza guide: open-air parties in the Benimussa hills

528 is one of Ibiza's less obvious venues: an open-air space among pine trees in the hills above San Antonio, open only on selected dates. If you've seen a party advertised there and don't know what to expect, this guide explains the venue, its history and how to plan your night, including the Halloween party on 31 October 2026.

What 528 is

528 describes itself as open-air parties in the Benimussa hills. It's run by IRG and, according to Ibiza Spotlight, is mainly a venue for daytime parties, set on a pine-clad hillside near San Antonio. It's not open every day: each date is a specific party run by a specific promoter. It used to be the home of The Zoo Project, and Ibiza Spotlight notes that after-parties are sometimes announced at the last minute.

Who played 528 in 2026

Halloween at 528

The last date of 2026 is Pikes Presents: Halloween at 528, on Saturday 31 October from 21:00 to 06:00. The venue describes it as a special after-dark edition with dark disco grooves. Pikes Presents is run by Pikes, the San Antonio hotel, which takes its parties beyond the hotel under this name. Since 528 usually hosts daytime parties, a full night here is unusual, and with most clubs closed by then, it's one of the last big parties of the year on the island.

Getting there and what to bring

528 is in the Benimussa hills, near San Antonio. There's no sensible walking route at night, so plan a taxi both ways and line up the return before you go in, especially on a big date. It's outdoors in the hills, so bring a layer for later in the night and shoes that can handle uneven ground. Entry is 18+ with photo ID.

Tickets

For tickets to 528 dates, message us on WhatsApp when they're on sale. The bigger parties sell out, so don't leave it to the last day. For a group plan, message us on WhatsApp with the date and number of people.

Who 528 suits

528 suits people who like outdoor dancing and a festival feel without the scale of a festival. It's a good contrast to the indoor superclubs and, because it only opens for specific events, each date tends to draw people who chose that party on purpose. For 2027, expect the calendar to be announced date by date rather than as a weekly residency schedule.

Quick tips

• Check the party, not just the venue: each date has a different promoter and sound.
• Book your taxi back before you go in.
• Bring a layer: it's outdoors, in the hills.
• Keep an eye on announcements for after-parties on the day.
• Bring photo ID; entry is 18+.

Looking ahead to 2027

After Halloween, 528 goes quiet for the winter. Its 2027 dates will be announced promoter by promoter, so they tend to appear gradually through spring and summer. We'll add each one to our 528 page as it's confirmed.

If you're planning around Halloween, it's also worth knowing that by 31 October almost every big club on the island has closed for the season, so this is one of very few large parties that weekend.

One last practical point: because 528 only opens on event dates, there's no point turning up on a random evening. Always check that a party is actually on before you head up the hill.
