During autumn, several of Ibiza’s best-known markets remain open, offering visitors the chance to experience the island’s local culture beyond the high season. These markets — held mainly on weekends — combine crafts, organic products and live music in a relaxed and authentic atmosphere.
From handmade jewellery and natural cosmetics to home-grown fruit and traditional food, Ibiza’s autumn markets are an essential stop for anyone who wants to discover the island’s community life, craftsmanship and sustainable initiatives.
1. Las Dalias Market: Ibiza’s bohemian heart beats every Saturday
Step into the beating heart of Ibiza’s artisan culture at Las Dalias Market, located in Sant Carles, just ten minutes from Santa Eulària. Open every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until late afternoon, this legendary spot is much more than a place to shop — it is an experience that captures the island’s creative spirit.
The moment you enter, you are surrounded by vibrant textiles, the scent of incense and the sounds of live guitar. Dozens of colourful stalls showcase handmade jewellery, boho-style fashion, paintings, leather accessories and natural cosmetics. Every item tells a story — one that starts here, on this sun-washed terrace, between palm trees and friendly conversations.
In autumn, Las Dalias becomes calmer but no less alive. With fewer visitors, there is time to talk directly with the artists, learn about their work and enjoy the relaxed rhythm of the island. The market’s cafés and food stalls stay open throughout the day, serving natural juices, vegetarian wraps and Mediterranean dishes.
It is a must-visit for travellers who want to take home something unique — not just a souvenir, but a piece of Ibiza’s personality. If you plan to visit later in November, check Las Dalias’ official website for updated schedules, as opening times may vary slightly as winter approaches.
2. Forada Market: authentic island life in full colour
For a more local experience, the Forada Market is one of the most authentic in Ibiza. Held every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., it takes place in the car park of Can Tixedó Art Café, between Sant Rafel and Santa Agnès. Unlike many summer-only events, Forada runs all year round.
Wooden tables display organic vegetables, freshly baked bread, artisan cheeses, handmade soaps and local honey. Musicians play softly, and island residents stop to chat with visitors while sharing information about their produce. The result is a welcoming, community-based atmosphere where you can see the island’s sustainable values in action.
Autumn is an ideal time to explore this market. The mild temperatures make it comfortable to walk around, and it is less crowded than in peak months. After shopping, most visitors stop for coffee or lunch at Can Tixedó, whose walls are lined with contemporary art from local creators. Parking is free but limited, so arriving early is recommended.
Forada represents a different kind of tourism — slow, respectful and rooted in local life — making it one of the most genuine autumn markets in Ibiza.
3. Sant Joan Market: a Sunday tradition all year long
Every Sunday, the small village of Sant Joan de Labritja hosts a market that has become a weekend tradition for both locals and visitors. Open from 10:00 a.m. to around 4:00 p.m., it fills the main square and nearby streets with crafts, local food and live music.
Stalls offer everything from handmade ceramics and leather goods to herbs, organic produce and natural cosmetics. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, with local musicians performing throughout the morning. The scent of roasted almonds and herbal liqueur fills the air, and nearby cafés serve tapas, fresh juices and traditional Ibizan snacks.
In autumn, Sant Joan’s market is particularly pleasant. The temperature is ideal for walking, and the mix of locals and travellers creates a friendly, lively atmosphere without the rush of high season. Many visitors plan their Sunday around it, combining the market visit with a drive through the scenic countryside of northern Ibiza — an area known for its almond trees, pine forests and peaceful landscapes.
Why Ibiza’s markets are the perfect way to experience the island
Visiting Ibiza’s markets in autumn allows travellers to discover the island’s everyday culture in a calm, authentic way. The weather, usually between 20 and 25 °C, is perfect for spending mornings outdoors. The artisans have time to talk about their work, and you can find original, handmade products that are often unavailable in larger shops.
Most of these markets are easily reached by car from any part of the island. For example, you can visit Las Dalias on Saturday, stop by Forada for breakfast, and end the weekend at Sant Joan on Sunday. It is a simple itinerary that offers direct contact with Ibiza’s craftsmanship, gastronomy and local traditions.
Tips for enjoying Ibiza’s markets this autumn
- Arrive early: parking and the best items are easier to find in the morning.
- Bring cash: not all stalls accept cards.
- Wear comfortable shoes: markets are designed for walking and exploring slowly.
- Check schedules online: some markets may slightly adjust opening times in late autumn.
- Stay for lunch: most markets include food areas and cafés with local or vegetarian options.
