Trade-off

The 24-hour beach-club strip — Ushuaia, Hi, and the islands longest sandy beach.

Three kilometres of sand running south of the airport, bookended by the islands two flagship open-air superclubs (Ushuaia and Hi) and lined with day-to-night beach clubs. The hotels along the strip are aggressively party-oriented, with poolside DJ sets running from noon to club opening — the most undiluted Ibiza-cliche neighbourhood on the island.
