Ibiza is much more than a sunny beach destination; it’s a place to visit year-round due to the variety of activities it offers and its great climate. Nature, history, gastronomy, and more. One of the things that sets Ibiza apart is its hippie lifestyle, and its markets are among the island’s biggest attractions. The hippie markets in Ibiza are undoubtedly one of the most popular spots for both locals and tourists, offering exclusive and personalized items. Below, we present the most famous hippie markets in Ibiza, open all year long. They are usually held on weekends, and we’ll tell you when to visit each one.
Hippie Markets in Ibiza: Sant Jordi
The Sant Jordi market is the first second-hand and vintage market on the island of Ibiza, held every Saturday since 1995. It attracts locals, residents from all over the island, and visitors from around the world, making it one of the most cosmopolitan spots on the island. Located at the San Jordi racetrack, you’ll find everything from all types of clothing to household items and furniture. And if you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for, you can always enjoy one of the delicious sandwiches prepared while you take in the great hall with views of the sunrise and a pleasant atmosphere. The market is held year-round, every Saturday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
Forada Market
Another great option for hippie markets in Ibiza is the Forada Market, focused on selling local, artisanal, and organic products from the island, such as healthy foods, natural cosmetics, and all kinds of crafts. Here, you’ll find organic soaps, flavored oils, payés wine or liquors, artisanal bread baked in a wood-fired oven, healthy foods, organic or local agricultural products, handmade jewelry, natural cosmetics, Ibiza honey, homemade pastries, and all sorts of crafts and artistic objects. In addition to the products on sale, the surroundings also reflect this natural vibe. In fact, the market is set up next to the street and often features music to create a lively atmosphere. The market takes place in a large open space near the Can Tixedó bar parking lot, in Forada or Buscastell, in the Santa Inés area. It’s open every Saturday of the year from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The market reflects the island’s most alternative essence.
Las Dalias Market
Las Dalias Market was born on Valentine’s Day in 1985, and the entire market is inspired by this celebration, filled with colors, fantasy, dreams, music, and peace all at once. The market is open every Saturday of the year, starting at 10:00 AM. The hours vary depending on the season, so we recommend checking their website if you’re visiting during the winter months. Additionally, during the winter, we suggest taking a stroll around Sant Carles, Ibiza, and Las Dalias to enjoy the natural surroundings and, why not, the company of the artisans and artists present. In fact, especially during the Christmas period, the market becomes a great opportunity for families and friends to gather together.
Sant Joan de Labritya Market
This hippie market takes place in the center of the village of Sant Joan de Labritya and has a fairly recent history, but with a special charm. What will surely surprise you is the amount of art surrounding it: a multitude of small hippie-style artworks and the opportunity to interact directly with their creators. In addition, the offerings are not limited to art: you’ll also find photographs of the island and all sorts of crafts.
Cala Llentya Market, Santa Eulalia
This market is located in Santa Eulalia des Riu and is known for the originality of the products offered. It’s not just simple souvenirs, clothing, or household items; rather, it features products that are made entirely in Ibiza, which makes them unique. Originally, it started as a second-hand flea market, but today it has transformed into an artisan market. It opens on Sundays all year round from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Since it’s not as touristy, it’s not as crowded as other markets in Ibiza, making it a favorite among the locals.
And don’t worry about accommodation! Vibra Hotels offers a wide range of hotels and apartments in Ibiza City and San Antonio de Portmany. An amazing value-for-money option with perfect locations, close to the sea and well connected. The Vibra Marítimo Hotel, open all year round, is located right on the beach and just 15 minutes’ walk from the charming Dalt Vila.
We look forward to seeing you enjoy another of the attractions that make Ibiza unique! Don’t miss the chance to visit these markets and, why not, take a souvenir home from Ibiza.
