Ibiza in October
So, the closing parties are drawing to close and the tourism of the island has begun to decrease. Yet, October still remains one of the most beautiful times of the year in Ibiza. The weather is glorious, though the temperature drops to the lower end of the 20´s, the sun still shines on the white island. The closing of the main clubs on the island marks the start of a more tranquil Ibiza which has a vast range of activities and events on offer. So let´s discover what´s going on this month, shall we?
Ibiza Spirit Festival at Atzaro
If you´ve never visited Atzaro, this one´s a must. Atzaro is located in the heart of Ibiza´s countryside, surrounded by beautiful landscapes and natural scenery. A hotel which holds fame for its Mediterranean ambiance: with Ibizan architecture, white décor, immense gardens which brag diverse horticulture and pools with surrounding areas to relax in. The tranquility of the grounds provides a perfect space to host the Ibiza Spirit Festival.
The Ibiza Spirit Festival will take place on the 7th of October and will not be repeated until April 2019, so this is something you don´t want to miss out on! Tradition, good vibes and love- The Ibiza Spirit Festival is home to all three. Expect creative dance, tantra, meditations, yoga, therapies, workshops, inspirational talks, ceremonies, singing circles, delicious food, great music and more. There´s even a ´Children´s Garden´ which has events running throughout the day for the little ones. An environment which truly radiates the true spirit of Ibiza.
The best part about this event is that it is open to all, be it children or adults- there´s something for everyone! What´s more, all of the proceeds are donated to local charities. This festival will be the embodiment of community, positivity and diversity. Namaste!
Ibiza Light Festival
The brightest event of the year, literally! An event where tradition meets modernity. The old town of Ibiza and port will be illuminated on the 12th and 13th of October by the Ibiza Light Festival. The most emblematic areas of Ibiza town will be transformed into a visual and auditory oasis.
This event is designed to suit all audiences and create an unforgettable memory in the mind of each individual. An appreciation of visual art through the form of light– be it video, sculpture, graphic projections. There´s bound to be a vast array of different visual attractions. The crowd will be part of the installments, with many of the artworks being interactive.
For two nights only, Ibiza will transform in a way you´ve never seen it before. Follow the light, you never know what you can find!
Ibiza and Formentera Triathlon’s
Seeking a more active October? The triathlon’s of Ibiza and Formentera might just be what you´re looking for. The triathlon consists of three events: swimming, cycling and long-distance running.
In both locations there is an option for the length of the route Formentera offers the options of: Olympic (1,500m swim, 40km cycle and 10km run), Sprint (750m swim, 20km cycle and 5km run) and relay (same distances as Olympic & Sprint) and Ibiza: three different lengths of 10, 21 or 42 kilometers of authentic trail.
The first one will be held in Formentera on the 6th of October then in Ibiza on the 28th of October. Ready, set, go!
Ibiza Japan Week
Looking for culture? Why not attend an event during Japan week? From the 22nd of October until the 26th there will be a range of events in the afternoons at C19 Ibiza. These events are designed to embrace and appreciate Japanese traditions. A variety of workshops will be on offer, ranging from Sumi-e painting, Koboshi dolls, Gyotaku, storytelling with Kamishibai and children’s activities.
Try something new!
Halloween
Of course, this one couldn´t be kept off the list. Although we said the parties are over, that´s not entirely true-it is Ibiza after all! Halloween will be a ´must´ date on the party calendar. Though there are announcements yet to be made about where parties will be hosted, Pikes have already launched their promotion and Heart is likely to host an event (as it has done in previous years). Keep a lookout for upcoming news.
For accommodation we recommend our best connected hotels so that you can get around the island and attend all these events: Hotel Central Playa, Aparthotel Playasol Jabeque Soul, Hotel Playasol The New Algarb, Marco Polo
