Night life and nightclubs on the Island of Elba

Especially during the summer months, from June to September, evenings on Elba Island become truly magical: the sun gives way to the sunset and the island transforms into a stage of lights, music, and irresistible scents.

It’s precisely during these hours that the most vibrant side of Elba Island comes to life: venues multiply and the atmosphere heats up. Bars, restaurants, pubs, beach kiosks, and clubs come alive to offer you unique experiences, accompanying you with flavor and joy from sunset until the early hours of the morning.
 

Aperitif and Musical Evenings

There’s a moment on Elba Island when the air changes rhythm: flip-flops give way to light shoes, the sand is brushed off, and the desire to be together takes over. It’s the hour when the island fills with sounds, laughter, and clinking glasses. We suggest several venues where you can enjoy this atmosphere: each has its own personality, whether it’s a lantern-lit chiringuito among palm trees, a minimalist lounge on the sand, or a historic bar in the heart of town.

Il Convio (Cavoli) – Beach parties on the island’s most beloved beach for young people, DJ sets every Saturday, and Ferragosto celebrations in collaboration with Club 64.

Bleep (Marciana Marina) – Minimalist and elegant, offers electronic music nights on Fenicia beach.

Garden Beach (Marina di Campo) – Colorful cocktails and a youthful vibe. The perfect place to start the evening off right.

Beach Bar Il Cantone (Lacona) – A little paradise on Lacona beach, ideal for sunset relaxation with delicious bruschettas and icy beers. With its unmistakable hippie-chic vibe, it hosts live music nights during the summer.

White Hole (Lacona) – Another Lacona hotspot for those who love great drinks and live music, open from 7:00 AM to 2:00 AM. Offers continental and Italian breakfasts, burgers (including vegan and veggie), poke bowls, and homemade gluten-free ice cream. In the evening, it becomes a lively cocktail bar with concerts and DJ sets by the sea.

Le Sirene (Portoferraio) – A historic venue overlooking Le Ghiaie beach. Perfect for tasty breakfasts, light lunches, and sunset aperitifs with a view of Scoglietto. In the evening, it comes alive with signature cocktails and live music curated by owner and bartender Armando Allegretti. A true institution for generations of Elbans.

For those who prefer to stroll without a fixed destination, letting the atmosphere guide them, some areas of the island offer a wide variety of venues side by side, ideal for an aperitif or a night out with friends. This is the case with the Calata of Portoferraio with its sea-view bars and kiosks (Bar Roma, Mordisco, Baba Bar, Il Baretto, La Tonnina), the lively Piazza Matteotti in Capoliveri (Bar Rodriguez, Controvento Café), the picturesque Porto Azzurro (Rick’s Cafè, Corsetti Bar), the beautiful Marina di Campo (Molo Club, Il Veliero, El Pinpa, Garden Beach), Marciana Marina (Yachting Bar, Bleep, Slocum Bar), and finally Rio Marina (Dolcemente Diversi, Dal Gavaz). These are true meeting spots to relax with a drink, some chats, and the scent of the sea.
