29 Sep Ibiza in October: calm, authenticity and days that still taste like summer
When October arrives, Ibiza slows down. The island is still bathed in sunshine, but its energy becomes softer, more authentic. The beaches return to their peaceful rhythm, rural paths turn golden, and local life flourishes without rush. If you want to discover the island’s most genuine side, this is the perfect time to visit.
Mild temperatures and sunny days
October is ideal for those who want to enjoy warm weather without the summer crowds. Daytime temperatures average around 24°C, and the sea remains pleasantly warm for swimming or paddleboarding. Long lunches by the beach, coastal walks and sunsets at Cala Conta are still unforgettable experiences.
A quieter island, without crowds
After the closing parties of the big clubs, Ibiza enters a more tranquil phase. Roads are clear, the most popular restaurants have tables available again, and markets like Las Dalias or Sant Jordi can be enjoyed at a slower pace. It’s the perfect time to explore Ibiza calmly — from whitewashed inland villages to hidden coves in the north.
Nature, culture and wellbeing
With cooler temperatures, hiking or cycling through Ibiza’s countryside is a real pleasure. It’s also a great moment to visit Dalt Vila, the island’s historic old town, without the summer heat. And if you’re seeking relaxation, many spas and wellness centres remain open in October, offering treatments and retreats with sea views.
Local flavours and seasonal cuisine
October is also an excellent month to enjoy Ibiza’s gastronomy. Local restaurants highlight seasonal ingredients such as mushrooms, fresh fish and aromatic herbs. Don’t miss a traditional bullit de peix or a sunset paired with a glass of wine by the sea.
Stay by the sea at Hotel Garbi Ibiza
Located right on Playa d’en Bossa, Hotel Garbi Ibiza stays open through October for those who want to experience the island at a slower pace. Unwind in our spa, sip cocktails on the terrace with sea views, or simply relax under the autumn sun.
Because in Ibiza, October doesn’t mark the end of summer — it marks the beginning of a new way to enjoy it.
