When to Go

July and August are peak season in the Balearics; it's hot, and even the most secluded beaches are crowded. Weather-wise, May and October are ideal, with June and September just behind. Winter is quiet; it's too cold for the beach but fine for hiking, golfing, and exploring. The clubbing season on Ibiza begins in June.

Note: Between November and March many hotels and restaurants are closed for their own holidays or seasonal repairs.
