It is the summer of 2025 and Clap House Ibiza, one of the most talked-about new projects on the island, has not yet opened its doors. While excitement continues to build around this luxury lifestyle venue, the opening has been delayed longer than expected. According to La Voz de Ibiza, the delay is due to urban planning issues. Several official files are still being processed by the Santa Eulària Town Hall and until those are resolved, the venue cannot legally begin operations. These bureaucratic complications have pushed back what was initially scheduled to be a 2024 launch.
Despite this, Clap House Ibiza has begun accepting reservations from 25 June 2025, signalling that the team behind the ambitious project is confident everything will be ready soon.
So, what is all the fuss about?
Clap House Ibiza is set to become one of the most complete and multifaceted destinations in Talamanca, just minutes away from Ibiza Town. More than just a luxury restaurant or a beach club, it presents itself as a lifestyle concept that merges gastronomy, wellness and leisure into one expansive space spanning 16,000 square metres.
The location used to be the old Aqualandia water park, and its transformation into a luxury oasis has been spearheaded by the Sanllehy brothers, Eric and Aleix, both former professional athletes. With an eye on detail and a strong focus on health and wellbeing, the duo has collaborated with top international names in hospitality and fitness to bring their vision to life.
A high-end playground in Talamanca
Once open, Clap House will host several key spaces:
- Clap Restaurant: already a name in cities like Dubai and London, Clap brings its contemporary Japanese cuisine with Mediterranean touches to Ibiza. Expect an omakase bar, robata grill dishes, and of course, a sushi menu that combines art and flavour.
- Pool Club: at the heart of the venue will be a stunning 50-metre swimming pool, bordered by lush landscaping, floating sunbeds and private cabanas. Designed for those who enjoy their sunshine served with style, this is where you will want to lounge all day.
- SEVEN Wellness Club: originating in Dubai, SEVEN will offer state-of-the-art training zones, from strength to cardio, along with a full programme of yoga, pilates reformer and mindful movement classes. It is not just about sweating it out, but about achieving balance.
- The Dose by Silvena: nestled inside the wellness area, this concept is driven by celebrity chef Silvena Rowe and focuses on biohacking and conscious nutrition. With an emphasis on organic ingredients and local produce, the goal is to nourish the body from the inside out.
Ibiza’s new wave of luxury wellness
What makes Clap House particularly intriguing is its combination of luxury with a growing trend towards wellness tourism. Ibiza is already known for its healing retreats and spiritual experiences, and Clap House seems poised to elevate that experience by merging it with high-end design and international standards.
Instead of the typical party-centric venues that dominate the island, Clap House is carving out a new identity: one where a day begins with a pilates session, is followed by a protein-rich, antioxidant-loaded lunch, and ends with cocktails by the pool under the Balearic sunset.
A soft opening – When?
While there is no confirmed date for the official opening as of mid-May 2025, the ability to make reservations from late June suggests a soft launch could be imminent. The project has maintained an optimistic tone across its communication channels, reiterating that it will open “soon”, even if the exact date remains under wraps.
Until then, curious travellers can follow their Instagram updates or browse their official website to get a sneak peek at what is to come.
Is it worth the hype?
In a landscape as saturated as Ibiza’s, standing out requires more than just elegant aesthetics. Clap House has managed to stir interest by tapping into the evolving tastes of modern travellers: people who want more than music and mojitos. They want quality, comfort, and above all, a story worth sharing.
With its emphasis on wellbeing, design, and fine dining, Clap House Ibiza is shaping up to be not just a place to visit, but a place to remember. And if the pre-launch buzz is anything to go by, it might just be the island’s most ambitious opening in years.
So while the doors are still shut for now, the countdown is very much underway. And if you are planning your trip to Ibiza this summer, it might be worth keeping an eye on Talamanca’s latest secret.
