Ibiza Events Calendar - What Not to Miss on the Island
This year, the Ibiza events calendar is jam-packed with exciting happenings, from the new hyperclub UNVRS opening to the island’s traditional fiestas, new restaurants and hidden gems waiting to be discovered. So, pack your bags, grab your sunnies, and prepare for an unforgettable adventure on Ibiza in 2025.
Breaking it down month-by-month, these are the most exciting things to look forward to in the first half of summer.
April in Ibiza
Semana Santa in Ibiza offers a compelling glimpse into the island's traditional soul. From April 13th to 20th, 2025, the island transforms, hosting solemn processions where brotherhoods in traditional attire carry religious icons through historic streets, particularly in Ibiza Town and Santa Eulalia. These processions, most notably the Good Friday "Procesión del Santo Entierro," create a reverent atmosphere. Beyond the religious ceremonies, there are fiestas and celebrations throughout the towns, bringing a buzz to the island.
With the high season seemingly starting earlier and earlier each year, it’s only natural that the unofficial kick off to the summer gets earlier too. The International Music Summit runs from 23-25th April 2025, this year hosted at the Mondrian Ibiza & Hyde Ibiza in Cala Llonga. As always, this culminates in IMS Dalt Vila - a seven-hour, open-air celebration with the best established and emerging DJs playing at the top of the famous UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is always one of the stand out Ibiza events of the year.
The same weekend sees a handful of Ibiza’s superclubs have their opening parties, including Pacha, Hï Ibiza and Ushuaïa. Not only this, but many of the seasonal bars and restaurants across the island will be opening in the second half of the month - bringing a buzz to the island that is truly magical. Some people find this the perfect time to visit the island, and you’ll see many groups hiring luxury villas in Ibiza to experience the island to it’s fullest.
May in Ibiza
Ibiza in May is when the island starts to come to life, especially so this year with Easter falling in late April.
On the first Sunday of May, Santa Eulalia traditionally has a big fiesta, with vintage cars, floral displays, sports tournaments, live music, children's activities and more throughout the town.
From the 8th to 11th May 2025, step back in time at Ibiza's Medieval Festival. Dalt Vila transforms into a bustling medieval market with craft stalls, food, and lively entertainment. There are street performers, musicians, falconry displays, and theatrical shows that celebrate Ibiza's rich cultural history. The festival stretches all the way from the top of Dalt Vila down to the port and Vara de Rey.
When it comes to Ibiza nightlife in May, more opening parties take place, with almost every club on the island in full swing. Amnesia’s opening party takes place on the 10th May 2025, and many of the island’s residencies are beginning.
The big news of the summer of course is the opening of new Ibiza hyperclub UNVRS, which is highly anticipated. From the creators of Hï and Ushuaïa comes the island's newest edition, an evolution of Privilege superclub. We’re expecting the opening party in May, however, this is yet to be announced.
June in Ibiza
The Ibiza calendar June gets more jam-packed as the island gets busier and busier.
Following on from the UNVRS opening party, some of the biggest residencies of the summer will begin. Eric Prydz’s Holosphere 2.0 kicks off at the start of the month, as well as the return of legendary DJ Carl Cox on June 22nd. Ibiza’s clubs will be in full swing, with most building up to events 7 nights a week.
Formentera Jazz Festival takes place from 5th to 8th June 2025. Organised by the Consell Insular de Formentera, this free-to-attend festival features live performances, jam sessions, and workshops, all set against the backdrop of Formentera's stunning natural beauty. With a focus on both established and emerging talent, the festival offers an intimate and unforgettable musical experience on Ibiza’s sister island.
Ibiza Pride 2025, running from 7th to 14th June, is a week of LGBTQIA+ celebration and a staple in the Ibiza events calendar. The island will come alive with parties, shows, and the spectacular parade through Ibiza Town. Featuring drag performances, concerts, and DJ sets across Ibiza Town and San Antonio, the week-long event is fully inclusive and incredibly fun!
Summer solstice lands on 21st June in 2025, and across the island there will be events and rituals taking place that you can join. From wellbeing events such as sound baths and meditation sessions to hikes and holistic ceremonies, it’s one of those times of year where you really feel the power of the hippy side of the island.
Spain celebrates the start of summer on June 23rd. The San Juan festival is a lively occasion, with music, dancing, bonfires and a dramatic firework display - something not to miss.
