EMBRACE WINTER ON IBIZA

There’s something special about autumn and winter here on Ibiza.

Those specific seasons bring a certain magic to the air, on which is completely different to that of summer.

It’s quite special. 

We know that come the end of September direct flights from the UK are limited to City Airport in London.

But if you’re travelling from anywhere else in the world (or don’t mind two flights), then you can easily visit us from a range of destinations.

You can still party outside of a typical summer season here too.

Whilst the main clubs may be closing (or closed), that doesn’t mean us locals hang up our dancing shoes until May.

Far from it.

There’s still plenty of fantastic, smaller parties that pop up across the island.

Whether you’re here to dance or relax, there’s definitely something to keep you fulfilled during your stay.

Here’s some of our favourite things to do over the cooler months on the white isle.

Explore

Ibiza is beautiful. There’s no doubt about that. Even when you fly over the pine-cladded mountains, surrounded by turquoise waters, you know you are looking at at a little slice of heaven.

Getting out and about is a must at this time of year.

From hiking in the hills overlooking sights such as Es Vedra and Es cap Bernat.

To venturing out to places such as Salinas salt-flats to watch the flamingos ‘doing their thing’.

Or even capturing those dramatic winter sunsets.

With sunny days and colder nights, it’s the perfect mix if you want to enjoy some rays. But still feel cosy in the evenings.

Hire a car or bike and get out and about.

You won’t regret it.

Shop

Yes you can shop anywhere, but Ibiza is home to some truly wonderful boutiques.

Unfortunately many of these close after the summer season ends, but you can still find some pretty fabulous spots to take advantage of.

If you’re into your high-street haunts then you’ll be able to find the likes of Zara, Mango, Bershka and many more.

Along with a selection of other great go-to retail therapy businesses, located in Vara de Rey.

Grab some beautiful cushions or candles from Zara Home, or maybe treat yourself to a new fragrance at Clapés.

Santa Gertrudis has some lovely shops too, if you’re around that part of the island.

Or, if you’re after some bargain hunting then San Jordi market is the place to be on a Saturday.

Dance

You can dance the night away, 357 days a year here on Ibiza.

Whether it be in a bar, club or an outdoor event.

You’ll never be bored, so don’t let anyone tell you any different.

From nights in Dalt Vila at bars such as Lola’s and Paradise Lost, to daytime shindigs at Las Dalias.

There’s something for everyone, including families.

Some of the larger clubs also host special events over this time too.

From Chinois in Botafoch to Eden in San Antonio.

If you’re thinking about flying over for New Year, then Pacha, DC10 and some of the other famous venues re-open for the occasion.

You just need to keep an eye on all of their socials for updates.

Eat

If you’re a foodie then you are in the right place.

From Traditional Ibicenco cuisine to Spanish, Vietnamese, Italian, French, Greek, Caribbean and more.

Your options might be slightly reduced compared to the peak-season, but they are still in abundance.

Some of the best places to dine are towns such as Santa Eulalia, which is home to ‘restaurant street‘. A place that leaves you spoilt for choice, and your tastebuds tingling.

San Antonio is also a stellar choice.

With eateries such as Es Ventall, Es Nautic, Venezia, Golden Buddha (plus more), all providing many tasty offerings to keep you satisfied.

And that’s not all, as there are many more restaurants dotted across the island to tickle for your fancy.

From The Boathouse in Cala San Vicente, Amalur in Santa Gertrudis, Chimichurri in San José or Can Pilot in San Rafael.

Just to name a few.

Create

Are you the creative type? If that’s a yes then you’ve struck gold here.

As Ibiza is known for its freedom to ‘look beyond’ the norm.

Whether you’re a musician, artist or designer, the island is a place you can be yourself, and it inspires you to develop your flair on a whole new level.

From pottery and ceramic classes to painting.

Ibiza-focused designs and silversmith courses to open mic nights.

You can even join in with the drumming at places such as Benirrás too.

A true chance to channel your inner-hippy.

Enjoy the Sea

Are you brave enough to dip in the (much cooler) Mediterranean sea?

Then why not, as it’s known to be extremely good for your health.

If you prefer to stay dry whilst still enjoying the beautiful blue, peaceful waters then you can still participate in a range of activities throughout the year.

From paddle boarding to kayaking, sailing and scuba diving.

Or maybe even book a private boat trip with your own captain included.

It’s a great way to experience the breathtaking coastline, and really feel in-tune with your surroundings.

Sound healing, pilates, cacao ceremonies, ayahuasca, the list is endless.

From retreats to one-off special events.

This beautiful rock is the place to visit, if you want the ultimate in rest, relaxation, and rebirth.

With its stunning scenery and tranquil ambience, taking some well deserved ‘me time’ is vital.

And there’s no better place to participate in said-activities, than right here on Ibiza.

If you’re into a blend of fitness and yoga then Becky, owner of A Balanced You is available year-round.

She has a range of motivating indoor and outdoor PT and yoga group classes, plus 1-2-1 sessions available.

Suitable for all ages and abilities.
