Ibiza and its people show in this season a more authentic and self-confident sense of being. While it is comparatively quiet, there is still plenty to do and see in November on the White Island.

What to do in Ibiza in November

Discover the island's natural beauty on foot 

The cooler weather of November ushers in a plethora of activities that would be either too challenging or too unpleasant to perform in the summer. 

Each week, walking groups meet to discover new parts of the island, as well as treading familiar routes. This is a great chance to see the natural beauty of the picturesque Pine Island, as you wander through the pine forests and along the dramatic coastal paths.

The sportier types will fall in love with the island in November, as the coastal paths open their arms to trail runners and hikers. Towards the end of the month, Ibiza hosts the 3 Días Trail Ibiza, which is a series of ultramarathons and easier trail-running routes that zigzag their way across the stunning terrain. 

Step back in time to Ibiza's historic centre

Ibiza Old Town, Dalt Vila, will enchant you with its white-washed walls, ancient murals and winding streets. Marvel at the 13th century Gothic cathedral and then after a day of cultural exploration, embrace slow living for lunch at one of Ibiza's delightful restaurants, embracing the lack of crowds at this time of the year.

Sample the local wines 

Taste the region's most impressive vintages at one of Ibiza's infamous wineries, savouring the wines of the Vino de la Tierra denomination. With the expert advice of a cellar master, allow the taste of the wine to open the gates to the history and culture of the island. Send your taste buds on an adventure and marvel at the spectacular landscapes all to yourself, avoiding the summer swarms of tourists.
