What's the weather like in Ibiza in September?
Weather-wise, September is one of the most pleasant months to visit Ibiza! At this time of the year the island leaves behind the scorching hot days of summer and welcomes some slightly cooler temperatures. The days might be getting shorter, with sunrise getting closer to 08.00 and sunset receding to around 19.30 by the end of the month, but you can still expect plenty of sunshine and average temperatures of 24°C. Peak temperatures can still hit the high 20s and very little rain is usually predicted in September, so this is very much still a month of sun and warmth.

Beachside yoga in September
As we get towards the end of an indulgent summer season full of dancing, partying, eating and drinking, take the time to reset and detox. What better way to hit the restart button than a spot of beachside yoga? Ibiza offers a wealth of stunning landscapes with breathtaking sceneries, making beachside yoga one of the most awe-inspiring actives to undertake. The island is famous for its unparalleled spiritual force, where visitors can reinvigorate their mind and body on its beautiful shores.
Join a session at one of the still open, but now far quieter, beach club venues, or take yourself down to your closest idyllic beach to practise in private. We recommend an early morning or sunrise session to enjoy the peaceful sounds of the sea with no interruption.
Cycling season in September
With more manageable temperatures in the mid-twenties, the island takes a turn back to an ideal location for sports enthusiasts from the end of September and into October.
Ibiza offers fantastic terrain and climate for cyclists - road bikers and mountain bikers alike, with Formentera a popular spot for manageable mid-length and mildly hilly rides, with excellent views. There are plenty of options across Ibiza island, too, with some of the most beautiful coastlines, beaches, cliffs, and picturesque towns which you will encounter along the way. And not forgetting the excellent cafés and restaurants open throughout the day for a well deserved pitstop along the way.
Idyllic beaches in September
September is one of the most idyllic months to visit Ibiza’s exceptional beaches, with still balmy temperatures in the day and into the evening, but the crowds thinning out. Whether you’re looking for a romantic and secluded cove to explore, or an expansive sandy beach for lounging and sunbathing, there is the right beach for everyone in Ibiza.
Some of our top picks are the bays of Cala Jondal or Portanix, the coves at Sa Pedrera, and the long stretches of sand at Cala Tarida or Playa d'en Bossa.
Sporting haven in September
For those that seek to return to a healthier routine after a lively summer, there is a great selection of sporting events taking place this month. The milder temperatures after the heat of the summer attract many athletes to the island to train or take place in events. The Formentera Triathlon takes place in autumn, participants and spectators can soak up the beauty of the paradisiacal island. For the more amateurs, looking for gentle hikes or runs, there's also plenty of opportunities and it's a great way to discover Ibiza’s stunning landscapes whilst also keeping fit.
