The Spanish island of Ibiza became a popular haunt of hippies in the 1960s, who were drawn to the island by the wonderful weather, beautiful beaches and stunning scenery. Shortly after, many local business started to flourish due to these new visitors to the island and nightclubs began to open and thrive in Ibiza. The exceptional nightlife is now synonymous with the island.

Ibiza has a reputation as a party island and during the 1990s, tourism here grew dramatically and the island was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records as the 'entertainment island of the world'. Many thousands of visitors fill the resorts on Ibiza and the big-name nightclubs are legendary, attracting partygoers from all over the world.

In the 1980s and 1990s many DJs came to Ibiza during the summer season and established their own brand of dance music, which became associated with the island. Many of the DJs became famous and performed to large crowds of more than 3,000 nightclubbers. The clubs and nightlife in Ibiza are now an important part of the islands economy, attracting many tourists.

Admission charges are usually fairly high and drinks are also expensive in the largest nightclubs, where the dance floors are often filled with foam. The smaller clubs are cheaper and although they do not have such major entertainment, they do have a charm of their own.

Clubbers are not expected to follow a specific dresscode and many enjoy setting trends and follow the island's strong sense of fashion. During the peak tourist season on Ibiza, there are bus services that connect Sant Antoni with Ibiza Town, where the majority of the nightclubs are located.

Top nightclubs in Ibiza include:

Nightclubs stay open until the early hours of the morning and many people are still partying when dawn arrives.

Hall in action against Malinga (Getty) and sporting the gold and his battle wounds (PA)

I will open this piece with the date Saturday 21/12/2013.

That night will go down in history for boxing in the North East of England as Stuart Hall became the first man from Darlington to win a world title, picking up the IBF world bantamweight strap against the incredibly game South African Vusi Malinga at the First Direct Arena in Leeds.

As well as being Darlos first world titlist, Hall is only the second world champion from the whole region; and the North East's only previous world champion, Glenn McCrory, was standing in Halls corner for support.

Hall had a lot more backing from his loyal fans as the crowd went wild for his entrance, many of them shouting his name an hour before he actually entered the ring.

Malinga was carried to the ring on the shoulders of one of his training team and before the first bell sounded, it was clear that Hall was going to have his work cut out for him. The African looked in great shape and after two previous world title attempts he was not fazed by the raucous atmosphere.

After a brutal 12-round war, both camps celebrated - but there was only one winner, and the crowd knew it.

Hall's fairytale victory marked the culmination of a remarkable journey for a man who spent his 20s, by his own admission, wasting his life away in the nightclubs of Ibiza.

That move to Europe's most infamous party spot was back in the summer of 2000: after becoming disillusioned with amateur boxing after being on the wrong end of a string of bad decisions, Hall headed for the Balearic island:

"I chose Ibiza because of its reputation as a party island," he said at the weekend. "It certainly didn't disappoint."

From nightclub waster to world champion: The amazing story of Stuey Hall

One of the most controversial and infamous clubs in Ibiza is Manumission. It is held weekly at Privilege (formerly Que Club), where Fantazia also performed a massive night in 1998. Manumission's legendary status is founded on its live sex shows and weird performers. The nights are also famed for their lavish decoration and themed performances.

Each night costs over 200k to stage and have a production crew that runs into the hundreds, all leading to a consistent huge crowd every week of up to 10,000. Guiness Book of Records has the venue recorded as the biggest nightclub in the world. Few if any other promoters have ever attracted such a large weekly audience needed to fill Privilege in Ibiza.

The Live sex shows that made the club a legend, are now no more, but the sexy theme continues to draw the crowds. G-strings, stockings, peep hole bras are the costumes of choice for the Manumission entertainers as they perform and dance their stuff throughout the night. You can find the dominatrix in the music box, naked dancers on stage and erotic dancers on podiums. The Manumission audience also dress up and the club night pulls many fetish fans, so keep your eye on the crowd as much as on the performers. Just keep an open mind.........

In 2003, Manumission, took a large step forward and introduced a murder mystery theme into each night. Stories lines like "The Phantasmagorical Manumission Mystery" unfolded on each weekly show. Acrobats, clowns and dancers complementing the film footage that is shown on huge screens of characters performing the plot in the style of a 30's silent movie.

Guest stars on various nights were the likes of Har Mar Superstar (Harold Martin), a bigger name in the US than in the UK where he started his career in the porn movies before breaking into Hip Hop.

This has to mean we've been gagging for it. The Mish's mixture of unashamed mass market entertainment, bleeding edge sexuality and genre jumping music policy has a little something for most everybody and nothing for some. This reviewer's opinion is the show was better but the night in general less cohesive.

The new stage is amazing. It tops even last year's film noir-ish black and white effort and reassures punters in the same way that smash-bang special effects do in block buster movies paying customers want to see where their money has gone.

About three stories' worth of interior decorating must have accounted for a decent percentage of the entrance fee, as one end of the massive Privilege has been turned into the haunted house of the hunchback with a hard on. Hmmm. Parading all over it are girls naked to various degrees, many in s&m poses, as is naturally unnatural for Manumission.

London, Dec 23 : British actor Leslie Phillips dropped his honeymoon plans after the doctors admitted him for a surgery to remove a growth in his nose.

The 89-year-old, who got married to social worker Zara Carr here Dec 20, is relieved after the doctors informed him that the lump was not malignant.

"We won't be going straight away because I'll be in hospital. I have to get this thing removed. Thank God, it isn't cancer. It just looks rather awful at the moment but I am getting that sorted," mirror.co.uk quoted the "Venus" actor as saying.

"We have been for all the appointments and the next part will be in a couple of weeks," he added.

Post the surgery, the couple will leave for Ibiza, Spain.

"I own a house in Ibiza where we will go. That will be the honeymoon really," Phillips said.
