THIS club in Majorca once attracted THOUSANDS of party-goers with half-naked dancers, fireworks and famous performers - but now it lays completely desolate. The Dhraa nightclub, situated near the popular Cala Millor strip, first opened its doors in 1984 to holidaymakers, celebs and locals alike. The massive venue sticks out like a sore thumb - looking more similar to ancient ruins than it does an ex-club.
What once was a popular party destination now has seemingly become a popular place for fly-tippers, with rubbish dumped around the location and the walls coated in graffiti. In the 80s, the iconic club opened its doors and welcomed more than 10,000 partygoers, boasting several bars, some 'private' areas and an extravagant spiral staircase that led to an open-air dance floor. The Dhraa club building was originally designed by Spanish architect José Ángel Suárez.
It was seen as incredibly ahead of its time, which may have been part of the attraction to attend nights out there. But since welcoming performances from the likes of Brit band the Immaculate Fools, the club has been abandoned for many years. During performances or DJ sets, laser beams would light up the night sky in an amazing spectacle that often upset pilots in the sky.
Around the club, you'd come across GoGo dancers, jugglers and trapeze artists, all while great music would blare and fireworks would explode above. But in 1993, the club changed hands and its appearance was completely transformed to a more his.
