With temperatures still relatively high (mid-20s Celsius), October is one of the best months to visit the island, its warm temperatures making it feel more like late summer than the kind of weather we associate with autumn in more northern climes. However, rain showers are not unknown, so come prepared.
As the island's skies are now clear of the haze that affects visibility in summer, it's a favourite time for artists and photographers keen to capture the Mediterranean countryside in all its glory.
The sea is still warm from the summer's heat, making this month ideal for suntanning, swimming, water sports and diving. Outdoor enthusiasts should know it's perfect for walking, cycling and running.
Events
Jazz fans can enjoy the large international Jazz festival Jazz Point Ibiza with some of the biggest names on the global Jazz scene. Enjoy a long weekend full of Jazz at different venues across the island.
On one of the last Saturdays of the month there is a great opportunity for all bargain hunters: the shops in Santa Eulalia sell their remaining stock at the Autumn Stocks Fair, located along the high street. The event goes on all day, accompanied by concerts and various activities for the whole family. You will find a lot of fashion and accessories, but also other things such as toys and household items.
And there is much more going on in October; find many more events including sports competitions and food festivals on our events and activity calendar.
With the party season extending into October since a few years and the big closings of the clubs held in the first two weeks, many clubbers regard this time as the highlight of the season. There is a very special, joyous vibe as yet another clubbing season winds down. So, if you're after one last party summer holiday before the arrival of winter, check out our party calendar and book that last big blow-out of the year!
