March in Ibiza: What's on and weather

The weather in Ibiza during March is particularly pleasant, with temperatures expected to reach up to a balmy 20°C. Despite its mild, sunny and dry climate, the island’s Mediterranean waters may be too cold for swimming, at a mere 15°C. However, the amount of sunshine on the island remains high with the sun shining for an average of seven hours each day.

Day of the Balearics

The month kicks off with the celebration of the Day of the Balearic Islands. This is an official holiday for Mallorca, Ibiza, Minorca and Formentera celebrated every year on the 1 March. On the day you’ll find a host of fun-filled events taking place across the island, as well as artisan markets and live music.

Traditional fiestas

Food festival

Foodie lovers won’t be disappointed this month as the Patrimoni Gastronomic Festival continues in Ibiza Town, offering a wealth of culinary delights. Taking place throughout February and March every year in celebration of Dalt Vila’s inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage Site list, restaurants will offer enticing menus that will take diners on a gastronomical journey across the globe. Expect to find some excellently priced and extravagant menus offerings in eateries across Ibiza Town.

Cursa Patrimoni 

The annual Cursa Patrimoni running races take place across Ibiza Town in celebration of the town’s history and the inclusion of Dalt Vila on the UNESCO World Heritage list. It runs through the old town, the port and the promenade. 

With manageable temperatures and quieter streets, March is a great time to explore Ibiza Town and in particular the usually busy old town of Dalt Vila above Ibiza Town.

Perched high atop a hilltop lies this ancient walled fortress, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Lose yourself in the treasure trove of cobbled streets and passageways that lead up from the Port of Ibiza, and immerse yourself in the island’s fascinating history and culture. Take in the stunning medieval architecture in its cathedral and fortress wall, as well as making discoveries in the renowned Archaeological Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art.

Most importantly, don’t forget to take a break in some of the very tempting restaurants, cafes and bars.

This is just a small selection of all the events taking place in Ibiza this month but there are lots more to choose from. Or you may prefer just to sit in a cafe or bar by the sea and watch the world go by. Whatever you feel like doing, don't forget to check out our hotels and restaurants for the best deals in Ibiza.
