Customers who visit Hostal La Torre usually have many doubts about the weather in Ibiza during the different seasons, even in the summer. If you’re also wondering about what to pack for your holidays in Ibiza, read on and get packing.

the weather in Ibiza: mediterranean and mild

If you're wondering which is the best time to travel to Ibiza, it all depends on what you're going to be doing. If you want to enjoy the White Island at its peak, with all the local fiestas and warmest weather, then we suggest you come in the summer. But apart from June, July, August and September, Ibiza is a fabulous destination to swim in the sea in May and October, to go for walks or cycling all year round, to sail practically every month, to take part in sports competitions in spring and autumn...

Ibiza’s climate is typically Mediterranean with annual average temperatures between 16ºC and 18ºC, dry summers and occasional irregular showers depending on the year. In general, the island boasts a mild climate with pleasant sunny days in the winter and summer days with occasional peaks in humidity and heat.

the weather in Ibiza in the winter

This is the quietest season in Ibiza as many residents choose January, February and March to go away on holidays. In fact, restaurants that close for a month usually chose to do so in the winter. However, it’s a fantastic time to enjoy the walks in Ibiza and the beauty of the Ibizan countryside as the almond trees are in bloom during these months. The average winter temperature ranges between a minimum 8ºC and a maximum 17ºC, and we get rain 5 days a month on average.

If you’re staying at Hostal La Torre in January, February and March, we suggest you pack: jerseys, long-sleeved tops and a few short-sleeved ones too, winter shoes, sunglasses and sunscreen (the essential pair for Ibiza) and sports shoes if you’d like to go for walks in Ibiza. Don't forget to take a winter coat as it gets quite chilly once the sun has set.
