As we sink into the month of July, you'll want to take advantage of the hotter days and at the same time make sure you're doing things to cool off. This month's selection of things to do is aimed at doing just that, with a selection of ideas for all that allows for jumping into water or avoiding the powerful rays of midday. Either way, we think we have you covered.
Formentera Explorer
Throughout the month
With an all-new five-star catamaran, the Formentera Explorer offers some seriously stylish travel in a relaxing day of topping up your tan next to the glimmering turquoise shores of Formentera. For those that want to relax on a boat in luxury, watching this blissful island from your boat or just jumping into the sea, is pure serenity. You'll return to Ibiza sun-kissed and refreshed with no tired feet from schlepping around.
Water fun
Throughout the month
Families will love Aguamar water park for a fun filled day of splashing around in the sun, cooling off in the water and having heaps of fun on thrilling chutes and crazy winding slides. The kamikaze and black hole slides wait for those who dare to take them on. Picnic areas and sun loungers offer space to recline and watch the craziness from dry land. Come on now, unleash your big kid inside and join in the water-filled fun.
To market at night
Throughout the month
One amazing aspect to Ibiza is its selection of markets. All across the island, some great and quirky trinkets can be browsed and found all through the week. With July warming up quickly, you might want to try out a cooler option with a night market. At Las Dalias, the night markets are in full swing every Monday and Tuesday night, Ibiza Town's port market takes place every day or head to Playa d'en Bossa, where you'll find another great daily night market. Shopping is always fun.
Sunset dreams
Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays
To enjoy one of the best views of the island at night, you'll want to head to the sunset ritual at the Cone Club restaurant terrace at luxury resort 7Pines. Take in the magnificent multi-coloured natural spectacle either for dinner or just for some of their great cocktails. There are three weekly chances to go, so no excuses.
Sea, sand and yoga
Throughout the month
For a perfect combination of sun and sea, why not try a drop-in yoga classes in a stunning location. Practise in the early morning, escape the heat and start your day off in the best possible way. In the east, both Aiyanna Ibiza, and Amante offer yoga with breakfast, in the west, try Kumharas, where breakfast is optional, or in the south, Beachouse offers free yoga sessions, and you can pop in to get your first meal of the day there afterwards. Zen and the ocean, mmm.
Food, food, food
Every Thursday
Back at Kumharas, this time for its new weekly Thursday street food market that starts from 18:00 going on until the witching hour. Here, you can sample an array of culinary delights, whilst catching that famous sunset disappear below the horizon. With 14 food stalls and trucks, you'll be spoilt for choice. We can almost taste it already.
Amazing dinners popping up

Lovers of pop-up restaurants should try the excellent ORIGENS coming for two dates only, with the first on 10 July on the gorgeous rooftop restaurant at the ME Ibiza Hotel. José Miguel Bonet, owner of one of Ibiza's oldest restaurants will be giving you his creative interpretations of traditional Ibizan food. All this with some amazing 360-degree sea views.
