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 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 S...

These are: Half term week; from 27 th May 2017.. the double whammy of school holidays across Europe and the opening parties means that demand will outstrip supply.  The week around the weekend of 24 th /25 th June – now, to be honest, we’re not 100% dire why this is a popular date; we think it’s probably because the June prices are really good as in July there is often a bit of a price increase so maybe you get a little more “bang for your buck”...plus the weather is normally pretty a...
