Halloween in Ibiza





Halloween in Ibiza





Halloween is a big event in Ibiza. Don’t think because the summer season is over, many of the hotels have closed and the tourists have departed that there is no life in the old dog ! 

Ibiza comes alive on Halloween with a number of parties taking place around the island… and with 1st November being a holiday to celebrate All Saints Day then this really is a chance for the locals and the seasonal summer works to really celebrate the official end to the season - the closing party to close all parties -  and to say one last goodbye to the summer before they hunker down for the winter, recharging the batteries and preparing to rev up again for next summer

Some of the big Halloween events that took place in 2014 were:

Bambuddha Restaurant (Bambuddha Grove)
KE BOLA CUBA – Cuban restaurant
Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza – party until 5am
Pacha – open throughout the winter every Friday & Saturday, of course had a Halloween themed party

Many of the restaurants around the island, and particularly in Ibiza Town held themed evenings and decorated their venues and helped to create a great buzz.


Don’t think Ibiza is finished after the last closing part in early October – why not come over here last October and enjoy one last party

Ibiza Hidden Beaches - Part 1; Cala Escondida

Image
Cala Escondida Cala Escondida is a tiny little sandy beach next to Cala Conta (which is also spelt Cala Compte) on the west coast of Ibiza . This clothing optional beach has incredible sunset views, particularly in the main summer months of July & August. There is a simple bar, called of course Bar Cala Escondida, that offers beer, wine, sangria & snacks and is an amazing (almost) secret place to get a frontline seat for the best show in town. The sea is great for snorkelling and just chilling out on this little known Ibiza beach. View the villas we have on the western side of Ibiza

Ibiza Public Holiday - 5th August

Ibiza Public Holidays (part one) - 5th August The public holiday in Ibiza on the 5 th August is celebrated every year and is known by a few names including: Santa Maria de las Nieves or Nuestra Senora de las Nieves (which translates as “Our Lady of the Snow”, which is interesting as there is not much snow in Ibiza!). Santa Maria is the Patron Saint of Ibiza.   The festivities continue until the 8 th August, although the main festivities are on the 5 th which culminates in a firework display. And the reason for this celebration? well it doesn’t take much to start a fiesta in Ibiza and the reason for this one is to commemorate August 8 th 1235 (that is the year not the 25 minutes to 1) when Ibiza was conquered by the Kingdom of Aragon, previously occupied by the Muslim leadership. The site of the cathedral in Ibiza Town (at the top of the Dalt Vila ) was once where a Muslim mosque stood nearly 800 years ago. Many activities in Ibiza Town are based around Parque Reina Sofia

Las Dalias Hippy Market - Night Market

Image
Las Dalias is a must visit place of interest on the White Isle. Located close to San Carlos village towards the northeast of Ibiza is the hippy market that has become a bit of an institution on the island. It may be a bit of a cliche but this is more than just a market, with music, food and drink...it's more a way of life, and offers locals & visitors a chance to meander around the many stalls selling clothes, jewellery, art and general "nick-nacks" to help you celebrate and remember your time in Ibiza. You can also enjoy a massage or experience a Tarot reading Om Monday 4th June 2018 was the opening of the night market, so, if like me you prefer to be on the beach during the day or sitting in a restaurant enjoying some amazing sea food, then the night market is a great idea, and also Las Dalias by light just feels that much more romantic. And when you've had enough of walking around the stalls, make your way to one of the bars and enjoy some live music,
