What is the weather like in Ibiza in October?: The Sweet Spot of the Season
While you won’t be roasting under midsummer rays, Ibiza’s October climate is still delightfully mild. With temperatures ranging between 15°C and 23°C, the island lends itself perfectly to relaxed exploration, al fresco lunches, and sunset strolls.
And yes, the sea is still warm enough for a swim – often reaching up to 22°C. A morning dip followed by a beachside coffee? Utter bliss.
Beach club closing parties continue
Think less thumping basslines, more barefoot beach walks. But don’t worry – Ibiza hasn’t hung up its dancing shoes just yet.
Iconic Closing Parties still bring world-class DJs and celebratory energy to the island throughout October. For one last whirl, head to legendary clubs like Pacha, Amnesia or Es Paradis – where the end of the season is toasted in true Balearic style.
Or, take it offshore – Oceanbeat’s boat parties from Playa d'en Bossa serve up DJ sets, sangria, and sea swims with a side of champagne showers. A wonderfully over-the-top way to say farewell to summer.
Slower Days, Secret Spots
When you're not dancing, unwind. October is ideal for those who love to explore at their own pace – without battling for sun loungers or restaurant tables.
Dalt Vila, Ibiza’s old town, is best discovered in peace. Climb the cobbled streets, browse hidden boutiques, then linger over grilled lobster or fresh seafood in a tucked-away terrace restaurant.
Wander Eivissa’s coastal paths and soak up postcard-worthy views that feel all the more special without the summer rush.
Embrace the island’s bohemian spirit at the Las Dalias hippy market. It’s held every Saturday through October and offers artisan treasures and authentic island energy.

Walk the clifftops around Can Marçà, with dramatic views and hidden coves that reward those willing to wander.
Explore the gentle charm of Santa Eulalia, a favourite among families and foodies. Book a table at Cas Gasí for farm-to-fork dining under the olive trees, or time your trip with the Autumn Gastronomic Festival for a celebration of seasonal flavours.
Set sail to Es Vedrà, the legendary islet off Cala d’Hort. Come sunset, it’s an utterly magical place – especially when viewed from the water, with the sky ablaze in apricot hues.
