Ibiza in May 2026
Every club is open, every residency launches — May is when Ibiza truly begins.
May is arguably the best month to visit Ibiza. Every major club is open, headline residencies launch, the weather is perfect (22-26°C), and the crowds haven't yet hit peak-season levels. You get the full Ibiza experience with better availability and often lower prices.
Expect a flurry of opening parties in early May as the remaining venues launch. By mid-May, the full weekly schedule is running — Calvin Harris on Tuesdays, Carl Cox on Sundays, Pyramid every week. This is when Ibiza veterans arrive to beat the summer rush.
