Often, when we think of Ibiza, the image of endless parties, beaches full of tourists and loud music comes to mind.
But what happens when winter comes and the island is quiet?
Contrary to popular belief, Ibiza does not close its doors during the low season.
In fact, it becomes a paradise of peace, traditions and nature. And it's waiting for you to discover it.
Enjoy deserted beaches
The famous beaches of Ibiza, which during the summer are full of visitors, in winter offer a serene and calm landscape...
It is the ideal time to take long walks along the shore, meditate to the sound of the waves or simply enjoy a book in the sand.
We also encourage you to sunbathe while sharing a picnic with your friends or family.
Our favorites are: Cala Comte, Cala Bassa, Cala Nova, Pou d'es Lleó, Cala Xarraca or Cala Benirrás (especially at sunset).
Explore nature
Winter is the perfect time to discover the rich biodiversity of Ibiza.
The island has numerous hiking trails that will take you through forests, mountains and cliffs.
In addition, the mild temperature during these months makes it easier to walk outdoors.
Most town councils have a section for this purpose, which you can discover here:
- Ayuntamiento de San Juan
- Ayuntamiento de Santa Eulalia
- Ayuntamiento de Ibiza
- Ayuntamiento de San José
- Ayuntamiento de San Antonio
Live the local culture
Take advantage of the tranquility of winter to immerse yourself in Ibizan culture: visit the island's museums, such as the Archaeological Museum or the Museum of Contemporary Art, which will offer you a deep insight into the history and traditions of Ibiza.
In addition, many towns organize festivals and cultural events during this season, such as the patron saint festivities, which will allow you to experience local customs up close.
The websites and social networks of Ibiza Tourism Promotion can help you discover more, as well as those of the town councils.
Discover the gastronomy of Ibiza
Ibizan cuisine is rich and varied, and winter brings with it traditional dishes that you cannot miss.
From hot stews to typical sweets of the season, local restaurants offer menus that will warm your soul.
Don't miss the opportunity to try "sofrit pagès", a traditional stew made with pork and chicken, or "flaó", a cheesecake with mint.
Some of the restaurants that remain open all year round are Cas Pagés, Cana Sofía, Es Rebost, Restaurante Can Pep Salvadó...
Finger-licking good!
Relax in a spa
With the rise of wellness culture in Ibiza, the low season is the ideal time to treat yourself and relax.
Many hotels in Ibiza offer spa packages including massages, facials and thermal circuits, although you will have to check which ones remain open.
The sound of the sea and the tranquility of the surroundings will make the experience even more relaxing.
Blue Ocean with winter tourism
Ibiza in winter is a destination full of surprises: far from the hustle and bustle of summer, the island offers endless activities for those seeking tranquility, culture and nature.
From exploring deserted beaches to immersing yourself in local cuisine, the jewel of the Mediterranean is waiting to show you its most authentic and charming side.
