Legendary Ibiza club where iconic 80s music video was filmed to be featured in wild new movie
Share:
PIKES Hotel is one of the most famous and hedonistic in Ibiza. It was the setting for Wham!’s Club Tropicana video and where its late owner Tony Pike bedded Grace Jones and took drugs with Freddie Mercury. Now, a well-placed mole tells me the scenes that played out during the Eighties and Nineties are being put together for a huge new film that will tell the rich and riotous history of Pikes, with colourful Tony forming the basis for the main character.

My insider said: “Tamer Hassan is one of the brains behind the film idea — he is working on a project to bring the legacy of Pikes to life. “With its neon-lit dance floors, wild poolside parties and infamous celebrity guests, Pikes has been the backdrop for some of the most outrageous stories in pop culture history.

“The film will tell all those stories. But it’s not just a movie, it’s a love letter to the era. “Pikes is more than a hotel, it’s a character in itself, with stories that need to be told. “It’s the ultimate badge of honour to say you’ve been part of the Pikes legacy and this will take fans straight back to those wild nights.”.

My mole added: “The soundtrack alone is going to be worth the hype. Think classic Ibiza anthems mixed with the biggest hits from the Eighties and Nineties.”. I can hear it already – and it sounds fantastic. Tony died in 2019, aged 85, and while he sold the hotel in 2008, he made sure everyone knew about the amazing place.
