CELEBRATE THE LONGEST DAY IN IBIZA IN JUNE: SANT JOAN DE LABRITIA

Are you visiting the island towards the end of June and wondering what to do in Ibiza? Then don't miss Sant Joan de Labritia. This local festival, which celebrates the summer solstice, has its origins in religion. Today, however, the festivities go far beyond the traditional mass and pilgrim parade. All over the island, hippie communities and locals alike gather to celebrate the arrival of summer, with bonfires, street performances and concerts. Sant Joan in Ibiza begins on the longest day of the year, June 21, and ends on June 24. That's plenty of time to enjoy Ibiza's lively, friendly atmosphere!

On the first day, head for Sant Joan de Labritja, in the north of the island. This normally peaceful little village comes alive during Sant Joan. Local craftsmen, artists and merchants gather in the Plaza to showcase their creations. Stroll the aisles of this impromptu market, to the sound of live music, as you wait for evening. When night falls, the town goes wild for Sant Joan! No fewer than nine bonfires are lit around the village, symbolizing renewal and purification.

Then head for Eivissa, to discover Ibiza's old town in a whole new light. As you wander through the narrow streets, you'll come across a multitude of artists. Sant Joan de Labritja is synonymous with effervescence. Every street corner, every bend and every square hosts a new concert, show or impromptu game. As evening falls, the party continues elsewhere...  Head for the sea to admire the sunset! In June, more than ever, Ibiza's beaches are the scene of the wildest parties. Choose between a campfire to the rhythm of guitars in Cala d'Hort, or an all-nighter with your feet in the sand in the beach clubs of Sant Josep de sa Talaia or Sant Jordi de Ses Salines...

HIPPie-CHIC IN THE HIPPIES MARKETS OF IBIZA

If you're wondering what to do in Ibiza in June, we can't recommend the hippy markets enough. An essential part of any stay on the white island, Ibiza's hippy markets can quickly become crowded during the summer season. In June, the stalls of local artisans are packed, but the aisles have the advantage of being more breathable.

Ibiza's city centre boasts quaint little shops, and its beautiful whitewashed buildings provide an immediate immersion in the island's charms. Take a tour of the old town, which is partly pedestrianised, and stroll under the protection of the ancient walls of Dalt Villa. It's the perfect time of year to visit Ibiza's best hippy markets and meet the locals, who will tell you all about the island's culture. Ask your tailor to rent you a car or scooters, so you can explore Ibiza with complete freedom, with only your desires in mind. 

Every weekend, the hippie market of La Dalias, the most mythical of all Ibiza's markets, welcomes the crème de la crème of Ibiza. From crochet pieces and homemade soaps to handcrafted jewelry and works of art, you'll find plenty of souvenirs to bring back from your trip to Ibiza. But more than just a hippie market, Las Dalias is a true place of delights, perfumes, colors and dreams. From June onwards, night owls gather here every Monday, Tuesday and Sunday from 7pm, to chat with local artisans, enjoy live music and share a paella or black rice at Las Dalias' much-loved chiringuito.

ENJOY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACHES IN IBIZA

A visit to the calas is a must on the island, and for good reason: here you'll find Ibiza's superb beaches, home to coves, music and party venues. Ibiza's most beautiful beaches are ideal for resting, dining, swimming and snorkeling.

• Cala Salada will dazzle you with its turquoise waters and lends itself more to getaways for two or with friends. The beauty of this Ibiza beach will delight those who reach it on a short walk over the pebbles.

Its ideal location overlooking a charming islet allows you to enjoy a refreshing drink while admiring the unforgettable spectacle of a sunset in shimmering colors from one of Ibiza's beaches.
