Ibiza Town is the island’s cultural heart and has retained much of its original allure from the days of old. The ancient fortified walls of the Old Town surround pretty whitewashed buildings and a sloping maze of cobbled streets, filled with tiny bars and charming Mediterranean-style restaurants. Here you’ll also find several museums, including the impressive Archaeological Museum of Ibiza.

Across the marina is the new town, home to some of Ibiza’s most famous nightclub venues, including Pacha and El Divino. Ibiza Town is also a shoppers’ delight, with boutiques and shops staying open until late, while the popular “hippy markets” around the port begin their trading in the evenings selling local crafts and jewellery.

Ibiza Town Climate

The glorious Ibiza sunshine is a draw for holidaymakers from around the world. The summer season begins in May and the beaches begin to become popular as the weather heats up. Beaches such as Cala Bassa, Cala Llonga and Es Casa benefit from beautiful clear skies and temperatures averaging around 23C. The summer months can get extremely hot but there is always a cool breeze from the surrounding sea and you are never more than 10 kilometres away from the sea at any point on the island. The warm waters and daily sunshine make an Ibiza holiday ideal for lovers of water activities such as snorkelling, diving and windsurfing.

The climate in Ibiza is basically warm all year round, which means that you do not have to wait until the summer season for a sunshine break, Easter holidays in Ibiza can be as warm as the summer season. From November to April the average daytime temperature is between 15C and 25C. Rainfall on Ibiza is usually only one day per month in the summer and no more than three days per month in winter. An Ibiza winter holiday in May or October is a great time to visit as the island becomes very fresh and green. Holidaymakers can benefit from tranquil strolls on the beaches with an average of 7 to 10 hours of sunshine per day.
