December in Ibiza: What's on and weather
Festive food and shopping and New Years Eve celebrations
The island is overcome with festive cheer and twinkling lights illuminate the streets.
Ibiza is the perfect out of season destination in December, attracting visitors far and wide for its vast offer of activities and events. The month may not have the same exotic temperatures as the summer but what you do get is fewer tourists, idyllic weather and plenty of culture to explore.

What's the weather like in Ibiza in December?
In the middle of winter, Ibiza still sees relatively mild temperatures and a decent amount of sun, alongside some rainy dates. Temperatures reach highs of 17°C, which can feel relatively warm, but the average is around 13°C with evenings falling to lows of 9°C, so you'll want to be equipped with a coat to keep warm and dry. Sunrise teeters around the 08:00 mark and sunset around 17:30.

New Year's Eve celebrations
New Year’s Eve in Ibiza is as anticipated as its opening parties, and it never disappoints! After a busy summer of dancing, the clubs come back to life to ring in the new year for a few night’s festivities and it’s time to do it all over again. There are always some great options to ring in the new year - the clubs announce their big event plans on their social media platforms during this month, so keep your eyes peeled!
Church nativity scenes
For a taste of traditional Christmas, nativity scenes take place in local churches around Ibiza Town and across the island, ranging from the quaint to the impressive.

Things to do
Festive fun fair
The annual fair comes to town in the month of December and lights up the fairground area of Can Misses on the edge of Ibiza town. Open all day and into the evening, it’s perfect for kids, families and the young at heart. The plethora of rides, games and food stalls entices large crowds from all around. The classics can all be found, including the dodgems, the Viking boat, the merry-go-round, trampolines and game booths. Take a break from all the fun to fuel up on hot dogs, candyfloss, hot chocolate and churros.
