Markets are part of Ibiza's history. They began with the hippies who arrived on the island in the late sixties and early seventies, selling what they made with their own hands, and they're still one of visitors' favourite things to do. A lot has changed along the way: some are big sites with hundreds of stalls and live music, others are a village square with thirty-odd craftspeople, and others are farmers' markets where locals buy the week's fruit.

This guide tells you which market is on each day, which are worth the trip, which carry on in winter and how to get there without spending half the morning looking for a parking space.

Weekly calendar of Ibiza markets

Opening times for the 2026 season. The official ones are confirmed on each market's or town hall's website; those marked approx. come from local listings and are worth confirming before you go.

In June and September, Las Dalias usually opens on Sunday nights too. And on the S'Alamera promenade in Santa Eulalia there are craft stalls on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from May to October.

The big ones: Punta Arabí and Las Dalias

Punta Arabí (Es Canar), on Wednesdays

It's Ibiza's oldest hippy market: running since 1973 with more than 400 stalls, on the grounds of a hotel complex in Es Canar, in the municipality of Santa Eulària des Riu (Santa Eulalia). It opens on Wednesdays from 10:00 to 18:00 during the season; in 2026, until 28 October.

There's a bit of everything: clothes, jewellery, leather, ceramics, homeware, food and some music. It mixes genuine artisans with more commercial stalls, so it's worth wandering slowly before you buy. Practical tip: go early, before 11:00, to beat the heat and the coach parties. Afterwards, Es Canar beach is a few steps away.

Las Dalias (Sant Carles), on Saturdays and summer nights

On the Sant Carles de Peralta road, at kilometre 12, Las Dalias started as a bar in 1954 and is now a venue with a market, terraces, a restaurant and music rooms. The main market is on Saturdays, open all year (in 2026 from 10:00 to 19:00, a little longer in spring and summer and shorter in winter). Outside summer it also opens on Sundays from 11:00 to 18:00.

What makes it special is the summer night market: from June to September, on Mondays and Tuesdays from 19:00 until 23:30, or midnight in July and August (and on Sundays too in June and September), with free entry, fairy lights, live music and a more laid-back vibe than on Saturdays. On the same site, the Akasha space programmes concerts and electronic music sessions, out of season too. If you want a night plan that isn't a club, it's one of the best: more ideas in Ibiza nightlife.

At Christmas, Las Dalias usually puts on a special market at weekends in December.

Which one if you can only do one?

• Punta Arabí if you want the biggest market and to combine it with a beach day in Es Canar.
• Las Dalias on a Saturday if you're after more designer-maker crafts and a village feel.
• Las Dalias at night if you'd rather stroll in the cool with music, in summer.
• Sant Joan if you want a small, authentic market with local farmers and craftspeople.

Village, craft and flea markets

Beyond the big two, each area has its own market, and in many cases they're the most enjoyable:

• Sant Joan de Labritja (Sunday): the village square and streets fill with crafts, natural cosmetics, flowers and garden produce, often with live music at midday. It runs all year and is a favourite with people who live in the north.
• Sant Jordi (Saturday): the flea market at the old Sant Jordi racetrack, very close to the airport. Second-hand clothes, furniture, records, tools and curiosities. Go early and haggle.
• Sant Miquel de Balansat (Thursday night): a small craft market in the village square, next to the fortified church, from June to September.
• Santa Gertrudis (Friday night): in the church square, in summer, in a village that already has shops, galleries and terraces.
• Cala Llonga (Thursday night): on the seafront promenade, from May to October.
• Sant Josep de sa Talaia (first Friday of the month): the town hall organises a night market of local crafts and nearby produce next to the town hall building, on the first Friday of each month from May to October.
• Ibiza Town (every evening, April to October): the craft, fashion and costume jewellery stalls at the port, opposite the Marina, stay open until after midnight. It's more of a stroll than a designer market, but it's on the way to dinner.
• Santa Eulalia: craft stalls on the S'Alamera promenade, in the centre, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays in season. More on the town in Santa Eulalia.

Local produce markets

If you want to eat well and buy what's grown on the island, these are the markets residents go to:

• Forada (Saturday morning): in Forada, near Buscastell (municipality of Sant Antoni), a small producers' market with seasonal fruit and veg, bread, cheese, eggs and a few crafts. It runs all year.
• Sant Antoni Agricultural Cooperative (Friday morning): a local produce market next to the cooperative, on the outskirts of San Antonio.
• Sant Joan (Sunday): alongside the crafts, it has stalls of local organic produce.
• Sant Josep (Saturday morning): according to the local press, from April to October there's a local produce market from about 9:30 to 13:30; confirm with the town hall.
• Mercat Vell and Mercat Nou (Ibiza Town): the old market, at the foot of Dalt Vila, is the traditional fruit and veg market in the historic centre; the new one, in the modern part of town, is the big municipal market with fish, meat and vegetables.

What to look for: Ibizan sobrasada (soft cured sausage) and butifarró, island cheese, honey, olive oil, almonds, dried figs, Ses Salines salt and, to take home, a bottle of hierbas ibicencas (the local herbal liqueur). Each product is explained in traditional Ibiza food and Ibiza hierbas and wine.

In winter: which markets keep going

Ibiza in winter is quieter, but the markets don't disappear completely:

• Open all year: Las Dalias on Saturdays (on shorter winter hours), the Sant Jordi flea market, the Forada market, Sant Joan's market and the municipal markets in Ibiza Town.
• Closed: Punta Arabí (after 28 October in 2026), the summer night markets and most of the seafront stalls.
• Christmas: in December, Christmas markets pop up at Las Dalias and in several villages, with crafts and gifts.

Getting there and parking

• Punta Arabí: by car, there are car parks in Es Canar (some paid in season) that fill up by mid-morning. By bus, in the 2026 network route P10 (Santa Eulalia-Es Canar) stops at Punta Arabí, and the U6 reaches the centre of Es Canar.
• Las Dalias: there's a dirt car park next door, which fills up at midday on Saturdays and on summer nights. By bus, routes A3 and A5 from Santa Eulalia stop at Las Dalias.
• Sant Joan, Sant Miquel, Santa Gertrudis and Forada: driving is easiest; park in the signed areas at the entrance to the villages, not on the verges.
• Sant Jordi: it's by the airport road, with parking around it that fills up by mid-morning.

Bus timetables change with the season: check the ALSA Ibiza website or our guide to Ibiza bus routes. And if there are several of you, the app has ride sharing so you can fill the seats and park just one car.

What to buy at an Ibiza market (and what not to)

Worth it:

• Ibizan fashion and Adlib: the white, the lace and the cotton that became fashionable on the island in the early seventies. Look for pieces made here, not factory copies. A bit of history in Ibiza's history and heritage.
• Designer-maker crafts: ceramics, jewellery, leather, basketry and espadrilles, especially at stalls where the maker is working or can explain how it's done.
• Local produce: from the farmers' markets, labelled with the name of the farm or village.

Best avoided:

• Fake designer goods: selling them is illegal and you're not supporting anyone on the island.
• Coral and shells from protected species sold as souvenirs: they should never have left the sea.
• Mass-produced souvenirs at craft prices. If the same item turns up on ten stalls, nobody here made it.

On haggling: at the Sant Jordi flea market it's normal; at the hippy markets you can ask for a better price if you're buying several things, within reason; at the producers' markets you don't haggle. Many stalls now take cards, but carry some cash just in case.

Common mistakes

• Going to Punta Arabí at midday in August. Heat, crowds and no parking. Better first thing.
• Mixing up the days. Punta Arabí is Wednesday and Las Dalias Saturday; on summer Mondays and Tuesdays, it's only the Las Dalias night market.
• Going to Punta Arabí in November. It closes at the end of the season; in winter, the plan is Las Dalias on Saturday or Sant Joan on Sunday.
• Buying the first thing you see. At the big markets, do a full lap before deciding.
