Things to do in Ibiza when it rains

Ibiza is not a rainy island, but the possibility of being surprised by some rain always exists. However, quite the contrary to what you may think, your holiday is not lost!

There are endless entertainment options that you can do on cloudy or rainy days. Prepare your wellies and a good umbrella because the best of Ibiza is waiting for you.

We're going shopping in the city

Shopping in Ibiza is another great way of sightseeing and getting to know the city. Ibiza has a wide range of shops across different areas where you can buy anything, from souvenirs to decorations, clothes, jewellery and many other items.

Some of the best shops can be found in the port area and in the neighbourhood of la Marina, the old fisherman's quarter, which has now become one of the liveliest neighbourhoods of the city. There you can buy all kinds of souvenirs, handicrafts and Ibizan fashion items. In addition, during the summer months, you can stroll around and buy whatever you need until around midnight.

Outside the city, you can go shopping in Playa d'en Bossa, Figueretas, on the promenade of Santa Eulària or that of Ses Fonts in Sant Antoni.

Discover the best museums

Most of the island's museums are located in the old part of Ibiza Town and, of course, visiting them is one of the best things to do on rainy days.

One of the museums you can't miss is the Ibiza Museum of Contemporary Art, located in a beautiful 17th-century building in the historic city centre. After a major refurbishment, the museum has reopened its doors showcasing a representation of the plastic art creations that took place in Ibiza in the 1960s. Thanks to the diversity of permanent and temporary exhibitions of different artists, you will always find works of interest.

Among many other museums you can visit in Ibiza Town are the Cathedral Museum, the Puget Museum, the Barrau Museum and the Barrau Interpretation Centre.

The best plans for a rainy afternoon: cinema, escape rooms, spa...

The rain can be the perfect excuse for spending a different kind of afternoon in good company. A classic option is going to the cinema. All you have to do is check the listings and arm yourself with a good dose of popcorn. The best known xcinemas can be found in the city of Ibiza, although you can also find them in Santa Eulària and Sant Antoni.

You can also spend an entertaining afternoon going bowling, or discovering enigmas and mysteries in an escape room.

Moreover, if you prefer a quieter plan, you always have the option of going to a spa, enjoying the water area, booking a beauty treatment or relaxing while you get a good massage.
