Want to extend the summer while avoiding the crowds ? Head for a well-known island that puts on its best clothes in the fall when it empties of tourists.
Every summer, this island well known to Europeans attracts millions of visitors from all over the world to enjoy its idyllic beaches, crystal clear waters and legendary party atmosphere. The island, located at only a two-hour flight from Paris, has become over the years a leading destination for partying all night long in famous clubs.
But did you know that it has much more to offer than its nightclubs?? Far from the summer hustle and bustle, autumn reveals a more authentic and peaceful side of the “white island”. No more crowded beaches and long queues in front of nightclubs. Make way for the gentle Mediterranean lifestyle, flamboyant landscapes and hidden treasures that only insiders know about.
With temperatures ranging between 20 and 25°C, October is indeed the ideal month to explore Ibiza! The sunny days will allow you to stroll along the steep coastline dotted with wild coves such as Cala Salada or Cala Conta. You can swim in water that is still warm, around 22°C, without worrying about the crowds.
The old fortified city of Dalt Vila, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, reveals itself in a new light in the fall. Wander through the maze of cobbled streets without suffering from the scorching summer heat. Take the time to soak up the city's thousand-year-old history by visiting the cathedral, the castle and the ramparts offering a breathtaking view of Formentera.

The traditional villages of the hinterland are also worth a visit. Sant Carles, Santa Gertrudis and Sant Mateu will charm you with their authentic charm, their small shaded squares and their local markets. This is the opportunity to taste the “Ibicencan” gastronomy, a tasty mix of Catalan and Mediterranean influences. One of the musts in October is to watch the sunset from the mythical rock of Es Vedra. This limestone peak that rises majestically facing the southwest coast is surrounded by legends. It is said that it is home to mermaids. The spectacle of the last rays of the sun reflecting on the rocks is worth seeing, especially since there will be far fewer people than in summer.
While the clubs are gradually closing their doors, nightlife is concentrated in Ibiza's trendy bars. Sip a cocktail on the terrace while enjoying the crisp evening air and the view of the majestic citadel before heading out for dinner in one of the excellent restaurants in the port. Opting for an autumn stay in Ibiza allows you to discover the true face of the island, far from the clichés and mass tourism, a royal choice to be surprised by the thousand facets of the “”white island”.
