Wild secrets of Ibiza’s Pikes Hotel where coke was served on cornflakes & owner bedded 3,000 women…including Bond star

It's the wild resort that helped cement singer George Michael's stardom, where cocaine was allegedly sprinkled on guests' cornflakes, and whose owner was dubbed the ‘real Hugh Heffner’ by Boy George. Pikes Hotel, the Balearic Island getaway set up by British-born Australian Anthony 'Tony' Pike in 1978, is set to be featured in a new film by Football Factory legend Tamer Hassan, and will shine a light on the hedonistic residence.
As revealed by The Sun this week, the new project will focus on the outrageous goings-on at Pikes Hotel during the Eighties and Nineties. Run by Tony, who passed away in 2019 after suffering from prostate and skin cancer, the resort remains a jewel in Ibiza’s crown and its colourful past is as shocking now as it was decades ago.
Pikes Hotel, which is now known as Pikes Ibiza, also boasts what the Guinness Book of Records says is the "world's biggest nightclub", and was a hot favourite with the likes of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, Hollywood star Tony Curtis, party-mad model Kate Moss, fashion icon Grace Jones and now modern celebrities such as Jade Jagger.
The club, currently branded UNVRS before its previous incarnations as Ku Club and Privilege Ibiza, and its flamboyant owner first rose to prominence when the newest darlings of British pop, Wham!, rolled into town to film their 1983 hit Club Tropicana.
