Pacha will take over the El Divino venue in time for the Ibiza 2010 clubbing season. After reports in the local press about Pacha having taken the lease, Pacha's Danny Whittle stated to Spotlight "it is true, we have taken over the El Divino venue".
Previously, the word had been that the area would be redeveloped into a leisure club but now the likelihood is that Pacha will stick to what they know best. One idea already gossiped about is perhaps that they use El Divino as an official testing ground for new parties. However from what Whittle suggests it is more likely that initial plans to turn the space into more of a restaurant/bar/lounge/club concept, will come to fruition.
2009 was a poor season, even in recent context, for El Divino, as virtually nothing was invested in the programming of the nights, which was a disaster waiting to happen on an island brimming with quality dance music.
