The Hippy Market Punta Arabí is back and more vibrant than ever. From May to October 2025, this legendary Ibiza hippy market will once again transform the coastal village of Es Canar into a colourful celebration of culture, music, gastronomy and craftsmanship. Whether you are a first-time visitor or a regular on the island, a trip to this iconic market promises one of the most unforgettable experiences of your holiday in Ibiza.
Since its foundation in 1973, the Hippy Market Punta Arabí has been an essential part of Ibiza’s identity. Set among whitewashed villas and pine trees in the grounds of the newly refurbished FERGUS Style Punta Arabí Hotel, the market reopens its doors every Wednesday, inviting tourists and locals alike to explore over 400 stalls bursting with handmade treasures and unique island finds.
The oldest Ibiza hippy market
The Hippy Market Punta Arabí is not just a place to shop, it is a destination in itself. As the oldest Ibiza hippy market, it has been welcoming visitors for more than 50 years, offering a unique glimpse into the island’s creative and multicultural spirit. Stalls stretch along shady paths, offering everything from handcrafted jewellery and natural cosmetics to upcycled fashion and sustainable accessories made from recycled tyres and plastics. There is something for every taste and every budget.
As Paola Podestá, president of Avhempa (the association of market vendors), explains: “Hippy Market Punta Arabí is the most complete market in Ibiza, with options for every visitor and every pocket. Everyone finds something special to take home, from traditional keepsakes to innovative eco-friendly products”.
Live music every week
What sets the Hippy Market Punta Arabí apart from other markets in Ibiza is its dedication to live music. Every Wednesday, different local artists fill the air with rhythms that range from blues and swing to chillout beats and Balearic sounds. The 2025 season begins with performances by Angel Wolf, DJ La Cat, Swingintonic Duo and Big Dez Blues Trío, an exciting lineup that reflects the market’s multicultural spirit.
Families will also find plenty to enjoy, with a children’s zone featuring face painting, creative workshops and safe spaces for little ones to play. It is an ideal day out after a morning at the beach.
A new chapter with FERGUS Style Punta Arabí
Adding a fresh twist to this already beloved experience is the opening of the four-star FERGUS Style Punta Arabí Hotel. Set to welcome guests from mid-May, this adults-recommended hotel blends modern comfort with authentic island charm. Its Mediterranean-style design, with white villas nestled among the trees, is the perfect backdrop for the market’s relaxed and bohemian atmosphere.
The hotel features three restaurants and several bars open to the public, making it a great spot to enjoy a drink or a meal before or after exploring the market. These new spaces enrich the overall visitor experience, offering a true taste of Ibiza’s lifestyle under one roof.
A living tradition
For over fifty years, the Hippy Market Punta Arabí has been a meeting point for cultures, creators and free spirits. While it has changed over time, it has always remained true to its essence. Today, seasoned vendors share their space with a new generation of artisans, keeping the market fresh, dynamic and relevant.
As Podestá puts it: “Our market is a witness of time, and it evolves with it. It offers a unique experience both for returning visitors and for those discovering it for the first time”.
The local council of Santa Eulària des Riu has also highlighted the importance of this space as the cultural heart of Es Canar, encouraging tourists to explore its many novelties in 2025. A visit to the Hippy Market Punta Arabí is, they say, “an ideal family activity to enjoy after a day at the beach”.
