Murcia and Torrevieja venues included in world's 100 best club ranking

Spain leads the global nominations ahead of the United States, with two local venues included

Two well-known nightlife venues in Murcia and Torrevieja have been nominated for the World's 100 Best Clubs list, which recognises some of the top clubs around the world.

The annual ranking is organised by the International Night Life Association and brings together hundreds of clubs from around the world, highlighting venues known for their atmosphere, production, safety standards, and overall visitor experience.

For the 2026 rankings, a total of 646 clubs from 76 countries have been nominated. Spain once again leads the way with 88 venues included, narrowly ahead of the United States. Spain's strong presence comes from its long-standing reputation as one of the world’s leading nightlife destinations, with places like Ibiza and Marbella already well known internationally.

Among the Spanish nominees are two venues, one in the regional capital of Murcia and the other in Torrevieja on the Costa Blanca. Both are familiar names in the competition and have appeared in previous editions.

Murcia's Odiseo returns to the list

Odiseo in Murcia, which opened in 2020, is once again in the running. Known for its large-scale design, it brings nightlife, dining, entertainment and leisure spaces together in one place.

One of its most distinctive features is its striking rooftop pool with a dramatic overhanging section, which has become a well-known landmark in the city. Alongside its nightclub space, the complex also includes restaurants, a casino area, and a busy calendar of events throughout the year.

While it was nominated in previous editions, the venue is hoping to secure a place in the final top 100 list this year.

Torrevieja’s Velice continues strong track record

In Torrevieja, Velice is once again representing the local nightlife scene. Opened in 2016, the club has built a strong reputation over the years thanks to its large-scale production, modern facilities, and consistent line-up of national and international DJs.

The venue covers around 1,700 square metres and is split between an outdoor garden area and a two-level main indoor room. It has also hosted live performances from well-known artists, adding to its profile beyond the club circuit. Velice has previously done well in the ranking, placing 57th in 2025 and 55th in 2024.

Public voting for the 2026 list runs from April 15 to November 2 on the International Night Life Association website and makes up 50% of the final score. The other half is decided by an international panel of experts between October 1 and November 15, who assess each club on areas including programming, safety, VIP services, innovation, investment, digital presence, reputation and sound quality. The final World’s 100 Best Clubs list will be announced in November at the Golden Moon Awards Gala.
