When to go
If you’re looking for the ultimate Ibiza experience—dry heat, packed clubs, and a vibrant atmosphere—then you’ll want to visit during the busy months of June, July, or August. These are also the warmest months so ideal for tanning on the beach during the daytime.
If you’re looking to save some money on your trip or avoid the crowds, shoulder season (May or September) is definitely the way to go. The weather will still be nice but not quite as blistering hot as it is during peak season. You’ll also have your pick of hotels and restaurants since things will be less crowded overall. Just keep in mind that some clubs and attractions may be closed during these months.
No matter when you decide to visit Ibiza, you’re sure to have an amazing time! Just be sure to do your research beforehand so that you know what to expect in terms of weather, prices, and crowds. And most importantly—have fun!
