Es Cana Ibiza Weather: What to Expect Throughout the Year

Es Cana enjoys the same Mediterranean climate as the rest of Ibiza: warm, sunny and dry summers; mild, pleasant springs and autumns; and gentle winters compared to mainland Europe. 

However, because Es Cana sits on the east coast, it often feels slightly cooler and breezier than southern areas like Playa d’en Bossa or Salinas — a big advantage in high summer.

Best Time to Visit Es Cana Ibiza

  • For the beach: June–September
     

  • For warm sun without crowds: May & September
     

  • For hiking and exploring: April, October, November
     

  • For budget-friendly trips: April, early May, late October
     

Es Cana shines brightest when the weather is warm, the hippy market is open and the promenade comes alive — typically from May to October.

 

The Famous Es Cana Hippy Market: Punta Arabí

No visit to Es Cana is complete without experiencing the Punta Arabí Hippy Market, the largest and oldest market in Ibiza. Born in the early 1970s, it remains a vibrant mix of art, culture, fashion and creativity.

What Makes Punta Arabí Special?

Punta Arabí is not just a market — it’s a full experience. Set inside a leafy resort area overlooking the sea, the market stretches through winding paths filled with artisans and pop-up stands.

Here’s what you’ll find:

The atmosphere is multicultural, colourful and electric — but still friendly and relaxed.
