Easter 2025 in Ibiza — Tradition, nature and the magic of an island in spring
By Raquel Valderrama, contributor to Viajes & Cultura Magazine.
While the Mediterranean is dressed in gentle breezes and the scent of wild flowers fills the fields, Ibiza emerges at Easter as a surprising destination far from the summer hustle and bustle. In 2025, the white island invites you to live a unique experience: solemn processions, green landscapes after the winter rains and plans that mix spirituality, adventure and relaxation. Here, your guide to discover its most genuine side.
1. Holy Week with an Ibizan soul: traditions that live on
Although less well-known than in Andalusia, Holy Week in Ibiza has an intimate and moving character. In Ibiza Town, the old town of Dalt Vila — a World Heritage Site — hosts the Procession of Silence (Good Friday), where the cobbled streets are lit up with candles and saetas. Don’t miss the celebrations in Sant Antoni and Santa Eulària, where local brotherhoods parade with centuries-old images.
Recommendation: Attend the Mass of Glory in the church of Sant Miquel (Easter Sunday), followed by a tasting of cuinat (traditional sweets) in the square.
2. Family plans: nature and adventure
Spring is ideal for exploring the wildest part of Ibiza. Rent electric bikes and travel along the Ruta de la Sal, from Ses Salines to Es Codolar, stopping at almost virgin beaches such as Cala Llentia. For children, the Hippy Market in Punta Arabí (Wednesdays in Cala Martina) offers craft workshops and live music.
Unique experience: Book a solar boat trip to Es Vedrà, where legends of mermaids and UFOs mix with dolphin sightings.
3. Lenten cuisine: flavours with history
The Es Ventall restaurant (Ibiza Town) reinvents Lenten dishes such as arroz de matanzas (with snails and herbs) or frit de Pascua (lamb stew). At rural markets, such as Sant Joan, try flaó (fresh cheese with mint), a typical dessert for this time of year.
Interesting fact: Take part in a cooking workshop at Can Tixedó (San Rafael), where you will learn to make panades (meat pies) using 18th-century recipes.
4. Wellness under the Ibizan sky
Take advantage of the mild climate (18-22°C) to practice yoga at sunrise in Cala Benirrás or immerse yourself in a sound healing session at Atzaró Agroturismo, surrounded by orange blossom trees. Boutique hotels such as Mirador de Dalt Vila offer spa packages with local almond oils.

5. Magical nights (without techno)
The Ibizan nightlife during Easter is quiet but full of charm. Enjoy dinners with acoustic jazz at Experimental Beach (Cala Xarraca) or a classical music concert at Sa Capella (Sant Antoni), an old church from the 16th century.

6. Practical tips for 2025
Accommodation: Agritourism resorts like Can Gall (Sant Llorenç) are ideal for families. Look for early offers; April is the shoulder season.
Getting around: Rent an electric car – the network of charging points is growing – to reach secret coves like Cala d’Albarca.
Package: Includes comfortable hiking shoes and a light jacket for cool nights.
Epilogue: Ibiza, a rebirth in spring
Easter 2025 is the perfect excuse to rediscover this multifaceted island: from the seclusion of its processions to the explosion of life in its fields. Here, where winter says goodbye with flowers and summer still waits on the horizon, you will find a peace that only those who dare to look beyond the festivities know.
