What is GEN-GOB actually alleging?
The Ibiza environmental group GEN-GOB has taken UNVRS to the authorities. In a formal complaint filed this week, it asks the competent administrations to urgently inspect the operating conditions of the club on the old Privilege site in San Rafael, arguing that it has been running well above its legal capacity through the 2025 season.
The numbers are the heart of it. GEN-GOB says the venue is operating on a license inherited from Privilege that was authorized for 4,000 people. UNVRS itself markets a 10,000 capacity across 6,500 square metres, and the group points to press reports that placed simultaneous attendance at 10,000 to 15,000 on peak nights. Its legal argument leans on Balearic Law 3/2022, which it says requires renovated venues to reduce their capacity, and on the claim that the premises may have been demolished and rebuilt rather than simply refurbished, which would put the inherited license in doubt.
One clubber testimony cited in the complaint described the venue as so full that it was impossible to move, like a can of sardines.
The complaint also flags safety and mobility: crowding at emergency exits and bars, VIP escorts cutting through the floor, recurrent traffic jams on the Eivissa to Sant Antoni highway, and pedestrians walking along access roads without adequate measures.
What happens to the world's self-styled biggest club now?
GEN-GOB is asking for urgent inspections, official certification of the authorized capacity, the opening of a sanctioning file if irregularities are confirmed, and even a temporary suspension of activity should an imminent risk be found. As of 14 June, neither operator The Night League, the company behind Hi Ibiza and Ushuaia, nor the local administration had responded publicly.
UNVRS opened on 30 May 2025, billing itself as the world's first hyperclub: arena-scale infrastructure wrapped in club service, with a residency roster that included Eric Prydz, Anyma, Jamie Jones, Fisher and Carl Cox. The complaint turns the spotlight from the spectacle to the paperwork, and onto the gap between a marketed capacity and a licensed one.
