Space first opened in early summer of 1986. The opening night featured the opening of the water park Aguamar located behind the club, party-goers being able to take advantage of the waterslides at night. Space in its current form began in 1989 when Pepe Rosello, Ibiza nightclub owner since 1963, took over the establishment, which in the four years since it was built had housed a conference hall with a discothèque. The opening policy agreed with
Spanish licensing laws, which state that an establishment must close for at least two hours a day. Following the closure of three of Ibiza's clubs at the start of the 2007 season, local authorities have hinted at plans to alter the licensing regulations that allow clubs to open for 22 hours per day. Suggestions at present would allow for clubs to open at noon. Clubs may not open before 8 a.m. Space,
DC10 and Bora-Bora in Sant Josep allows after-hours parties. This open terrace and the roaring sound of the airliners breaking through the booming dance music has become one of the club's defining features. Since
Amnesia and
Privilege have had to encase their open-air dance floors due to noise complaints from their neighbours, Space remains one of the few venues where club-goers can have this experience, and the crowd's greeting of the arriving aircraft has also become a ritual among the club's patrons. Other resident DJs/producers responsible for the club's popularity include Reche, Jose de Divina, Jon Ulysses and Monkey.
Carl Cox was most associated with the club for nearly 15 years, thanks to his "Music is Revolution" night. When Pepe Rosello stepped down from the club, Cox decided to move on, playing a nine-hour final set in September 2016.
Post closure Since the club closed in 2016, it has since been bought by
Ushuaïa Entertainment and was reopened in 2017 under the name
Hï Ibiza. ==Notable events==
