MARCH IN IBIZA

Well this is a new month for us to talk about! 2023 was the first year that we opened our doors in the month of March to the public and they will reopen again on 27th March 2024.

If you want to discover the more authentic and traditional side of Ibiza, this is the month to do it with little nightlife to distract you from the beautiful hikes and spring-time socialising on offer.

It’s worth noting that the weather can be unpredictable so pack appropriately… a rain proof jacket won’t hurt.

WHAT’S ON IN MARCH

Our home San Antonio welcomes Pintxa, which is an annual competition between all of the local bars and restaurants that are open during the Winter. An opportunity to enjoy mini tapas and snack options plus a drink as some venues even offer live music. It’s a great soft warm-up to bring some atmosphere to the town before the season really begins.

Futher afield, in San Jose there is the annual celebration of the day of Saint Joseph. On the closest Saturday to the 19th March, famous Pacha club night ‘Flower Power’ turns the small village into an open-air disco with DJs and live bands playing all night long.

APRIL IN IBIZA

Not too long ago April would have been deemed as a quiet month in Ibiza with everyone still waiting for the opening parties of May, however nowadays the final weekend of the month is jam-packed with huge events brought to you by venues all over the island. Much like March though for the majority of the month you will want to make use of your days venturing out and seeing what the island has to offer. Gems such as Es Vedra, Abandoned Festival Club and Time & Space are not to be missed.

Temperature-wise you still might want to pack a jacket and a pair of jeans for those chilly nights (average daily temperatures between 11°C and 19°C).

WHAT’S ON IN APRIL

It’ll be a little while yet until we find out Ibiza’s opening parties however in the past we have seen Ushuaïa & Hï’s put on a marathan day-into-night  party on the final Saturday of the month and we expect a lot of other venues to follow suit soon such as Amnesia (Pyramid), Eden (Defected), Hï Ibiza & O Beach.

If you happen to be on the island during the International Music Summit (IMS), we strongly recommend attending as you’ll catch DJ sets from some of the biggest names on the planet in the most mesmorising of settings… Dalt Vila.

APRIL in ibiza sounds a lot better than April at home… our rooms start from just €32 per person per night

MAY IN IBIZA

In May the island really starts to awaken from the winter.

At the start of the month things are still quite chilled with the weather warming up and flight prices super affordable. Average daily temperatures are around 16.5°C rising to 22°C by late May so you can certainly expect to return home with a tan your friends will be envious of.

The beaches are glorious and there is space everywhere! The huge crowds of the high season have yet to arrive so it’s the perfect place to chill out.

WHAT’S ON IN MAY

In terms of party spots the start of the month is when the bars start to open again particularly in San Antonio and this year we expect the majority of super clubs to at least be open over the weekends.

As the month goes on the party calendar starts filling up. The last week is traditionally when many venues have their 5-7 day week schedules up and running, including our own at Ibiza Rocks.

JUNE IN IBIZA

By the start of June it’s noticeably busier (but not quite as rammed as in peak season) so it’s a paradise for Ibiza veterans or virgins. Temperatures rise (average daily temperatures between 18°C and 26°C), the party calendar grows, but flights and Ibiza Rocks Hotel stay prices are still low.

Possibly our favourite month of the summer. It may not come into the category of ‘peak season’ but it always sells out and the dancefloors alwasy have an amazing atmosphere. June is when the island really starts to come to life and this year will be no different.

WHAT’S ON IN JUNE

June is when the biggest day party programme on the island gets into full swing, ours! We can’t reveal who we’ve got joining us just yet as it’s top secret but keep an eye out in January for some huge announcements…

You will also find a wealth of early season parties to choose from across the board as the majority of venues are operating 7 days a week, although you will find a few one-off events and shorter residencies to fill in some of the gaps in the calendar!

JUNE’S A POPULAR MONTH… BOOK IN EARLY FROM AS LITTLE AS €76 PER PERSON PER NIGHT

JULY IN IBIZA

Peak season has arrived… By far the most popular month at Ibiza Rocks Hotel and the island in general so expect a combo of hot weather (between 21°C and 29°C) and even hotter events all month long. In San Antonio, in particular there is always something going on as it’s the time in the summer to experience the true Ibiza vibe in all its glory. The constant magical buzz, like minded people, the legendary parties, and colossal atmosphere! WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT?

With the sun rising early and setting late, July is the ideal time to really make the most of the daytime vibes on the island. Get yourself down to Cafe Mambos no later than 9pm to catch the iconic sunset. You will not be disappointed.

WHAT’S ON IN JULY

A long-standing tradition, Radio 1 in Ibiza is a calendar date many Ibiza veterans will base their holiday schedule on. 2019 was all about Ibiza Rocks as we played host to both Radio 1 and 1Xtra for an incredible weekend of the best names in dance and urban music, broadcasted live to the world.

In 2023, they switched things up and moved from the first weekend of August to the 28th July at Ibiza’s newest venue, 528 (formerly Benimussa Park, home to The Zoo Project).

It was a resounding success so we expect Radio 1 to take the same approach next year in terms of date and location… watch this space.

AUGUST IN IBIZA

In August we’re talking the peak of the Ibiza season. The first week of the month is generally the busiest week in the calendar. Temperatures are at their highest (average daily temperatures between 22°C and 30°C) and expect club nights to be full of atmosphere carrying on the momentum from July.

Things get more international as Spanish and Italian holidaymakers join the mix so expect reggaeton and techno sounds to take over the schedules.

WHAT’S ON IN AUGUST

From day time pool parties to pre-parties watching the sunset to dawn raves if you’re on the island to dance July really has it all. Prices may increase for event tickets but the party line-ups are BIG! We’re talking the likes of Becky Hill, Ben Hemsley, Martin Garrix and Calvin Harris by day and Eric Prydz, Carl Cox, Camelphat and many more by nights.

If there’s one thing we can guarantee in August though, it’s the villa after parties that can go way into the following afternoon. How you get an invite to them we hear you ask? We’re still trying to find out the answer so if anyone ends up attending one do let us know!

september IN IBIZA

The summer may feel like it’s over when September arrives in the UK but those in the know will tell you that when it comes to Ibiza it’s all about September. Much like June things are less busy, everything feels more chilled, Hotel and Flights are cheaper and the line ups across the island start to get a bit more experimental. The only downside is that the weather can be a bit more unpredictable compared to peak season (average daily temperatures between 19°C and 27°C).

It really is a great opportunity to come back to close the summer in style. Even if you have been once already in the season booking a short stay over a particular party is ideal.

WHAT’S ON IN SEPTEMBER

There’s very little change in terms of the clubbing calendar when September hits as the weekly residencies are still going strong although the crowds may get a little smaller, but not noticeably, with the veterans holding out for the last 2 weeks.

Back end of the month it becomes all about the closing parties as everyone goes all out to end the summer with a bang. Closing parties in Ibiza are world renowned, think in-demand DJ’s, all day parties, after parties and more right through to the first weekend of October.

Our closing parties typically take place across the last full week of the month and have produced some of the most iconic moments in Ibiza Rocks history, so you will not want to miss out.

IBIZA CLOSING PARTIES ARE NOT TO BE MISSED. BOOK SEPTEMBER FROM AS LITTLE AS €71 PER PERSON PER NIGHT
