May is the month when Ibiza really bursts into life. Days are longer, the sun is warmer and the famous opening parties get going. There is plenty of action making it a fabulous month to experience all that the White Isle has to offer.
Travel back to medieval times
The hugely popular Medieval Fair comes to Ibiza's old town between 11-14 May. The winding streets leading up to the cathedral are lined with stalls selling a variety of goods. Pick up some hand made jewellery, leather goods or local cheeses and sausages. Street artists and camel or donkey rides for the children make this a fun-filled day out. Attracting over 50,000 visitors over the weekend, it is one not to be missed.
Starting the summer at IMS Dalt Vila
IMS Dalt Vila really is the one that gets it all started and is right before opening weekend, double whammy. Considered as being on one of the most spectacular and atmospheric party venues on the planet, the IMS party in the citadel walls of Ibiza's old town really does rock the kasbah. Don't miss this once a year event on 26 May. It's gonna be biiiiig!
Open your senses at the Ibiza Spirit Festival
Taking place on 7 May at the cool rural hideaway of Atzaro, the Ibiza Spirit Festival offers an uplifting experience. With meditation, workshops and alternative therapies available there are plenty of opportunities to focus on your spiritual and physical health and wellbeing.
Retail Therapy at Las Dalias
May is the month when the famous hippy market Las Dalias welcomes the summer. With its huge range of eclectic products on offer this is the place to shop until you drop. To complement your shopping experience there are musical events throughout the month. There are also bars and restaurants onsite. It's so much more than a market.
An explosion of colour
For a colourful taste of traditional Ibiza head to the Santa Eulalia flower festival on 7 May. The locals parade through the town on horse-drawn carts adorned in bright blooms exuding their sweet scents. Celebrating an ancient legend from the town's past it's a great event for mixing in and enjoying island folklore.
Say Hï to a new Ibiza superclub
A taste of things to come at Hï Ibiza
How often can you say that you were there to witness the birth of a new Ibiza club? From the ashes of Space will emerge Hï Ibiza, a spankingly brand new state-of-the-art take on the superclub in Playa d'en Bossa on 28 May. We can expect a storming extravaganza of an opening party. If the excitement of that event is too much, remember that you have all summer to take up what will be one unique experience.
So there you have it. A whole host of activities to make your May break the best yet.
