Temperatures remain mild all year round and even in the winter months they sink rarely below 15 degrees. Ibiza is particularly attractive for those seeking peace in the months from November to April.

There are also quiet spots on the island and magical places like the small island of Es Vedra which lies approx. 400 m from the west coast. The hearts of individualists will be aroused by it’s beauty and the spiritualists searching for meaning will be overwhelmed by the breathing space they will encounter.

A note on the mythology of Ibiza

A Persian geographer from the 13th century once praised Ibiza and Formentera due to “their healthy soil, free from poisonous animals, corruption or rot”. On the other hand, poisonous mushrooms or herbs that cause stomach pains seem to be growing on Pityusen amidst a fragrant vegetation consisting of pine, rosemary, fennel, lemon mint, sage, figs, pomegranates and oranges. There are no earthquakes, droughts, volcanoes or heavy snowfalls.

Another myth says: “Ibiza is the last refuge of the earth”. This was supposedly one of the visions Nostradamus who predicted that the special winds that blow on the island would keep contaminated gases away and by doing so would preserve the island from extinction. Whatever, many agree that Ibiza is a safe refuge, possibly even similar to paradise. (This is confirmed by every resident on this jewel of an island).
