Visiting Ibiza during the low season months can be a great idea if you’re looking for more peace and quiet.
With the arrival of autumn, coinciding with the opening and closing of the nightclubs and discos, we see the tourist season come to an end. As if by magic, from one day to the next, the island is transformed by a new and renewed air.
The small villages, dotted with whitewashed houses, begin to recover their usual slower, more conscious and calmer rhythm. During the autumn and winter months, the cooler temperatures embrace all those willing to explore idyllic beaches and landscapes of great beauty and to discover otherwise unimaginable corners.
The island of Ibiza undoubtedly has a lot to offer. Here are 5 reasons why you can make the most of all its splendour during the low season.
1. You’ll be able to enjoy a quieter Ibiza
Most visitors and tourists decide to travel to Ibiza during the months of July and August, at the peak of the season, perhaps motivated by the high temperatures and the holiday period for many companies.
However, given the high demand for tourist products and services, it is not the ideal time for booking the best accommodation, getting a table in certain restaurants or enjoying a quiet stroll by the sea.
The autumn and winter months are the ideal time for you to discover Ibiza calmly, at your own pace, enjoying the moment and all its essence.
2. You’ll get better prices and more offers will be available
The fewer tourists, the better the prices. This formula is applicable to any tourist product or service and, of course, it is worth taking advantage of it.
You will have better benefits when booking flights, accommodation (hotels, apartments, flats…), renting cars or booking leisure activities.
And not only will you have more facilities, but you will also have access to more options to choose what you really want.
3. It’s the best time for a family holiday in Ibiza
The month of October heralds in style the closing of nightclubs and entertainment venues all over the island. But life in Ibiza goes beyond the night-time entertainment that is so desired by young couples and friend groups.
But what about families? When you travel as a family, especially with young children, you look for other options that better suit your lifestyle.
There are many options in Ibiza to discover as a family or with young children. Jeep tours, a picnic on the beach, exploring some caves or a pony ride are just some of them.
4. You’ll enjoy the good weather, even in winter
It’s true that the summer period is generally accompanied by good weather conditions. Good weather, yes, but also sweltering temperatures, especially during the middle of the day.
During the months of April, May, June and September, temperatures are very pleasant, without reaching the extreme numbers of the summer months.
You should bear in mind that Ibiza has an average yearly temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, as well as 320 days of sunshine a year – a true privilege!
5. You’ll still be able to visit the hippy markets and go shopping
Ibiza’s hippy markets, also known as craft markets, are one of the island’s greatest tourist attractions, thanks to the bohemian atmosphere of the artists, craftsmen, painters and designers.
Although most of these markets run during the summer season, there are some that stay open during weekends throughout the year, such as the Las Dalias, San Juan, Forada and Sant Jordi markets, among many others.
Others, however, also take place during the months of April to October, such as the Punta Arabí hippy market or the one in Cala Llonga.
Take the opportunity to discover the charms of Ibiza at any time of year, especially in the low season. You won’t regret it!
