Ibiza is calling – and this summer, the island’s heartbeat has a name: Solèy. Every Friday from 13 June to 1 August, Chinois Ibiza hosts one of the most anticipated residencies of the season. The global DJ phenomenon Francis Mercier takes over the decks, bringing a euphoric explosion of Afrohouse, Caribbean soul and hypnotic rhythms that will set the White Island alight.
Whether you are a first-time visitor or a returning Ibiza enthusiast, this summer’s Solèy residency at Chinois is one of the top events to add to your itinerary.
Events calendarA club like no other
Nestled in the heart of the Marina Botafoc, Chinois Ibiza is more than a nightclub — it is a sanctuary for music lovers. With its elegant East-meets-West decor and a commitment to delivering world-class experiences, Chinois has earned a reputation for being ‘the club’ of Ibiza. It is where the pulse of the island converges with a sense of sophistication, making it the perfect home for Mercier’s multicultural sonic adventure.
Chinois welcomes people from all walks of life, inviting guests to leave the ordinary behind and step into a world where music, art and emotion collide.
A celebration of culture
Derived from the Haitian Creole word for ‘sun’, Solèy captures the spirit of Francis Mercier himself — warm, positive, and full of radiant energy. The residency will run for eight consecutive Fridays, inviting revellers to dance from midnight to dawn to a soundtrack of Afrohouse beats, soulful melodies and infectious Caribbean vibes.
This is not just a DJ set. It is a global gathering, a rhythmic passport through continents and cultures, blending traditional percussion with modern house. Expect moments of euphoria, connection and raw joy as Francis and his specially curated guests deliver unforgettable performances on one of the island’s most iconic stages.
Earlier this year, Solèy mesmerised over 7,000 people in Dubai. Now, Ibiza gets its turn to shine.

Born in Haiti and now one of the most in-demand DJs in the world, Francis Mercier is a force of nature on the international music scene.

In 2024 alone, he will appear at global mega festivals including Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, Ultra Buenos Aires, and Lightning In A Bottle. He is also set to headline the legendary Brooklyn Mirage.
With more than 3 million Shazams, 250 million views of his music on social media, and tracks featured in the Spotify Viral Top 50, Mercier’s global reach is undeniable.
