Are you looking for real treasures away from the big tourist crowds? The flea markets on Ibiza offer exactly that – authentic finds among vintage furniture, handmade art and the most curious discoveries. The Sant Jordi flea market opens every Saturday from 8 to 15 and is considered an insider tip among locals. Here you'll experience the original Ibiza: the Punta Arabí hippie market with its more than 500 stalls every Wednesday or Las Dalias, which opens its gates on Saturdays and Sundays during the season. We'll show you the best addresses for your bargain hunt on the island.
Flea market Sant Jordi – The authentic Ibiza flea market
We’d like to introduce you to the island’s most authentic flea market. Since 1995, the former horse racetrack in Sant Jordi has turned into a real treasure hunter’s dream every Saturday. Here, locals and long-term residents meet – far from the tourist hustle and bustle, you’ll experience the original Ibiza.
When does the Sant Jordi flea market take place?
Every Saturday from 8:00 to 15:00, this special place opens its gates all year round. It becomes a reliable meeting point especially in the winter months, when other markets are closed. Want the best finds? Then come early! At 8 a.m. you’ll find the widest selection, while around midday the music starts and the market really comes alive.
True bargain hunters know it: the end of summer brings the best deals. Seasonal workers then sell their belongings before leaving the island. It’s also worth visiting before the season starts – that’s when many clear out their homes and renovate for the coming tourists.
Where is the flea market located?
Hippodrom Sant Jordi is just 3 km from Ibiza Town, right at the edge of town on the road to the airport. The southern end of the village of Sant Jordi administratively belongs to Sant Josep de sa Talaia – from anywhere on the island you can get to the market easily.
Free parking is available directly on site. But be warned: it fills up quickly! If you can’t find a space, just park in Sant Jordi and walk the short distance. By the way, in the café at the racecourse you’ll also discover old racing photos and trophies – memories of times gone by.
What is offered at the flea market?
From clothing to old records and vintage furniture – you’ll find everything here. Locals sell real second-hand treasures straight from their cars. Plants, antiques, toys, household appliances… the list is endless.
Handcrafted furniture, mirrors, jewellery and paintings by local artists make this market special. Vintage boho-style jewellery awaits discovery alongside rare finds. Collectors take note: books and records are a real goldmine. By the way, in winter you’ll find nicer vintage pieces than in summer, when tourists overrun the market.
Spontaneous sellers can secure a cheap stall on a weekly basis. This mix of regular and occasional vendors ensures that every visit holds new surprises.
Special atmosphere and live music
What makes Sant Jordi so special? The unique vibe! At midday, percussionists gather in the old stands. Their spontaneous sessions echo Ibiza’s hippie soul and give the market its unmistakable charm. The drummers from Benirras, in particular, regularly provide musical highlights.
When the sun is out, the market becomes a real hotspot. Strolling between the stalls, discovering treasures, enjoying a beer in the sunshine – that’s Ibiza! A DJ plays live, spontaneous dancers join in. This mix of flea market, meeting place and party shows Ibiza’s charm even outside the main season.
The small bar offers affordable snacks and drinks. Here you can enjoy lunch at fair prices and watch the market’s colourful characters. After the market closes, many vendors head to a small tent on the road to Sant Josep.
This market is mainly visited by locals – among tourists, it’s still a real insider tip. This authenticity makes it the perfect place for anyone looking for the real Ibiza. Relaxed and lively at the same time – this is where encounters and genuine experiences happen.
Las Dalias Hippie Market – The legendary Saturday market
We’d like to introduce you to Las Dalias, perhaps the island’s most famous hippie market. Since Valentine’s Day in 1985, Sant Carles has turned into a colourful spectacle of creativity and bohemian culture every Saturday. What started with just five modest stalls has grown into a magnet with over 300 stalls today. On Saturdays in August, up to 20,000 visitors flock here – Las Dalias embodies the hippie-cultural soul of Ibiza.
Opening hours of Las Dalias market
The market is open every Saturday all year round, with only January off. The opening hours are cleverly adapted to the seasons. From February to March, you can browse the stalls on Saturdays from 10:00 to 17:00 or 18:00, and on Sundays from 11:00 to 17:00 or 18:00.
April and May bring longer days. On Saturdays you can wander through the colourful bustle from 10:00 to 19:00 or 20:00, and on Sundays from 11:00 to 19:00 or 20:00. High season from June to September shows the market in all its splendour – Saturdays from 10:00 to 20:00.
Autumn shortens the hours again. In October, opening times are Saturdays 10:00 to 19:00 and Sundays 11:00 to 18:00. In November, Saturdays run from 10:00 to 17:00 and Sundays from 11:00 to 17:00. A special highlight is the Easter market during the four Easter holidays from Thursday to Sunday.
Early in the morning you’ll find the best selection. Late in the afternoon, you’ll experience the most relaxed atmosphere as the sun sets over Sant Carles.
Location in Sant Carles
Las Dalias awaits you at kilometre 12 of the Eivissa-Santa Eulària-Sant Carles road, about 5 kilometres from Santa Eulària. Located in the north of the island, just before the small village of Sant Carles de Peralta. From Santa Eulària, drive north, following the signs to San Carlos.
After about 8 minutes you’ll reach a roundabout. Continue straight ahead; after 200 metres the first car park is on the left. The second car park is on the right, opposite the restaurant. When it gets busy, a third car park is available behind the market – past the restaurant on the left. Some parking spaces cost money, others are free.
You can reach the market easily by public transport. Entry itself is free.
Offer and highlights
Over 300 stalls present fashion by Ibizan designers and colourful clothing from the sellers’ trips to Asia. Silver jewellery meets creative handicrafts, art and other works of art. Handmade shoes, accessories and home décor complete the selection.
Don’t miss the local treasures: salt from Las Salinas, aloe vera products and the traditional herbal liqueur Hierbas Ibicencas. Exotic musical instruments, colourful bags, rugs and hammocks show the market’s international soul.
Ibiza’s esoteric spirit lives on through palm readings and tarot sessions. This mystical touch fits the island’s hippie culture perfectly.
For food and drinks, there are:
- A restaurant with a varied menu
- Several bars for refreshing drinks
- A stand with natural fruit juices
- A fast-food point for quick meals
- An Arabic tea tent with teas and Moroccan pastries
Live music is part of the concept. Artists, DJs and bands from the island turn your shopping trip into a cultural experience. Shopping, music and culinary delights merge into a feast for all the senses.
Its roots go back to the famous street bar from 1954. The market itself started in 1985 with just five stalls. Today, Las Dalias represents natural, relaxed Ibiza for thousands of tourists. The organisers strictly value quality and originality.
Las Dalias Night Market
The night market was created in 2005 as a relaxed evening version. From June to September, it opens on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays – the perfect alternative to the daytime heat.
More than a hundred stalls showcase their goods, many of them exclusive to the night market. Strict quality standards determine the selection. Valuable clothing and handicrafts from Ibiza and around the world await you.
The times vary: June and September from 19:00 to 23:30, July as early as 18:00 until midnight, August from 19:00 until midnight.
Live music sets the tone every evening. Local artists, DJs and bands provide the soundtrack. Under the warm glow of the lamps and beneath the starry sky, it’s a wonderful place for a stroll.
Sundays are especially atmospheric. Well-known DJs play on the terrace, young and old dance under the stars – an unforgettable Ibiza evening.
Drinks and food are available at various stalls or in the restaurants and bars of Las Dalias. If you want to keep the party going, Akasha, the in-house club of Las Dalias, is the perfect place. Entry to the night market is free.
The night market combines shopping with culture and social get-togethers. Relaxed starry-sky vibes, live music and creative artworks… that’s the unique taste of Ibiza.
Punta Arabí – The largest hippie market in Ibiza
In 1973, Hotel Club Punta Arabí gave the hippies who had come to the island their first chance to present their products to hotel guests. Back then, the young people still spread out their goods on simple cloths in the shade of the pine trees. Today, it has become Ibiza’s largest and oldest hippie market.
When does the market open its doors?
Every Wednesday from April to October, Punta Arabí comes to life. The 2025 season started on 7 May and runs until 29 October. Opening hours depend on the month: in May, you can browse from 10:00 to 18:00, and from June to October even from 10:00 to 19:00.
In August, the hottest month, the market stays open until 20:00. Entry costs you nothing. Around 13.000 visitors from across the island come here every week. It gets very busy in the morning – so it’s better to plan your visit for later in the day.
How to get to Es Canar
On the edge of Es Caná in the northeast of Ibiza, between Cala Martina and Es Canar beaches, lies this special market. Strictly speaking, you’ll find it at Club Punta Arabí in St. Eulalia-Es Canar. You can get there easily by car – paid parking is available directly opposite the market or in the nearby streets.
Alternatively, the bus will take you there, or you can arrive in style by ferry from Santa Eulalia. Since 2025, the market has been working with FERGUS Style Punta Arabí, a new hotel from the established group. Set among whitewashed villas in the middle of pine forests, the hotel streets with their three restaurants and bars now host the legendary hippie market.
What makes Punta Arabí unique
More than 500 artisans and artists present their exclusive works here. The number of stalls varies between 400 and more than 500 – making Punta Arabí the largest market on the island. You’ll find artisanal jewelry, accessories and clothing alongside natural and organic cosmetics, local spirits such as the traditional Hierbas Ibicencas, and sustainable products made from recycled materials.
Especially fascinating is the mix of experienced craftspeople, some of whom have been here since the beginning, and young, innovative designers. Be sure to stroll down Calle de los Artesanos – the street of artisans. You’ll find it as the first turn on the right after the entrance. There, you can watch local artisans creating their work.
If a stall owner wears the “Original de Ibiza” badge, they belong to the local crafts association – a guarantee of authentic handicrafts. The market is divided into various areas:
- The street of artisans with live music and product-making
- A large concert tent
- An area for young designers with new handmade products
- Its own gourmet area with various food trucks
- A workshop area for the little ones
There’s something for every budget. You can get a small souvenir for as little as 5 €, while original handmade creations, designer fashion or artworks can cost considerably more. That way, every visitor can find a special keepsake – from a traditional souvenir to an innovative eco-friendly product.
The music makes this multicultural place special for all age groups. At the 2025 season opening, Angel Wolf, DJ La Cat, the duo Swingintonic and the trio Big Dez Blues got the crowd going. As the only market, Punta Arabí hosts weekly performances by local artists. Street performers and living statues add even more to the atmosphere.
The combination of all these offers, events and activities gives this authentic and oldest hippie market its very special charm. Get a henna tattoo or treat yourself to a relaxing massage. Among beautiful jewelry, artworks, handmade leather goods and colorful clothing, you’ll immerse yourself in a lively, multicultural world.
The many restaurants on site serve a varied cuisine – be sure to try the traditional paella. At lunchtime between 13:30 and 15:30, you can taste the homemade paella. The culinary selection ranges from traditional tapas to exotic snacks, refreshing smoothies or a cold beer.
Unfortunately, the market has also become more commercial over time. Alongside authentic products, you’ll also find plenty of mass-produced goods “made in China”. Original items are rarer than they used to be. Still, the market allows many artisan families to make a living.
For families with children
As a family-oriented market, Punta Arabí has its own children’s area. You’ll find the “Hippie Kids” hut at the top of the market next to the stone tower. There, various activities and workshops keep the little ones entertained. Face painting and creative activities also make the younger guests smile.
Parents can join in too and make something special for the occasion. The municipality of Santa Eulalia highlights the market’s role as a cultural hub of Es Caná and recommends it as the perfect family-friendly activity after a beach day. The many performances in the multicultural tent and the children’s program make a visit to the market an unforgettable family experience.
The market has stood the test of time while continuing to evolve. It combines the skills of long-time traders with the fresh energy of new artisans who join the community each year. Punta Arabí can easily be combined with a half-day at the beach in Cala Mastella, Cala Llenya or Cala Nova.
Smaller and traditional markets in Ibiza
Away from the big tourist crowds, Ibiza hides some real insider tips. These smaller markets are all about their authentic atmosphere and show you the island’s original face. We’d like to introduce you to these special places, where locals meet and the hippie culture is still truly alive.
Sant Joan craft market
The sleepy village of Sant Joan comes to life every Sunday. From 10:00 to 16:00, the central square of Sant Joan de Labritja turns into a colorful marketplace all year round. Almost every street in the small village becomes a sales area.
Here you’ll find real craftsmanship: handmade pieces, organic products and art in the open air. Jewelry displays alternate with leather goods and wood carvings. Organic products, fresh fruit, vegetables and local honey complement the range. Sustainable cosmetics and high-quality accessories complete the selection. Behind the church, local artists present their paintings and sculptures in a special area.
The relaxed, non-commercial atmosphere clearly sets this market apart from more touristy alternatives. Especially in the winter months, locals use the market as a weekly meeting point. From midday, live music starts on the steps of the village square – spontaneous dancing is part of it. This mix of authentic craftsmanship and musical entertainment makes the market a cultural hub for anyone looking for Ibiza’s true hippie roots.
Giri Café offers a garden for relaxing, while Gare du Nord and Los Otros serve Ibizan and international dishes. For a meal after your market stroll, we recommend La Paloma in San Lorenzo or The Boat House in Cala Vicente. A large parking lot is available at the north end of the village.
Sant Rafael ceramic market
Sant Rafael de Sa Creu officially holds the title zona de interés artesanal – zone of artisanal interest. This distinction reflects the special tradition of ceramic art in this small town between Sant Mateu, Santa Agnès and Buscastell.
Every Thursday from 19:30 to 23:00, a fascinating arts and crafts market opens its gates from 27 June to 12 September. The evening hours offer pleasant temperatures after hot summer days. Craftspeople and artists personally run all the stalls – many have lived on the island for decades and are genuine witnesses to the hippie era.
On the main street of Sant Rafael, you can watch handmade products being made live. Ceramic and agricultural produce from local production take center stage. You can see experienced hands weaving baskets, making Esparto baskets from the local coarse grass, or weaving Ibizenkian espardenyes. The finest pieces of the island’s traditional clothing are created right before your eyes.
Workshops run by ceramicists and artists combine workspaces with exhibition areas and shops. Various initiatives promote the spread and sale of arts and crafts production. The market is perfectly located halfway between Ibiza-Stadt and San Antonio.
Organic Market Sant Josep
Sant Josep sees its market as a meeting place for locals and summer visitors alike. Every Saturday from April to mid-October, the market opens in the center of the charming village in the southwest. Peak times are between 9:30 and 13:30.
Organic and locally made arts and crafts products shape the selection. Fruit and vegetables from local cultivation form the heart of the market, complemented by homemade pastries and the traditional island liqueur Hierbas Ibicencas. Honey, olive oil, wine, dried fruit and nuts complete the culinary selection. Sant Josep is famous for its huge onions and sweet figs. The flower-rich area produces most of the island’s honey.
Local artisans offer jewelry, paintings, sculptures and ceramics. You can watch various craftspeople creating their products in the traditional way. Workshops invite you to take part actively.
Musical performances, workshops and tastings accompany the market throughout the season. Farmers with centuries-old traditions meet craftspeople who keep the hippie spirit alive – a particularly authentic Ibiza atmosphere. After your market visit, it’s worth enjoying a drink in one of the many bars and restaurants in the lovely village.
Market at Cala Benirrás beach
Beach atmosphere meets hippie flair at the beautiful beach of Benirras. In summer, a small hippie market opens daily except Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12:00 to 22:00.
Fashion, accessories and crafts change hands at the stalls. But the real value lies not in the products, but in the friendly atmosphere. Bohemian vibes and the relaxed beach setting create a special experience.
The real highlight starts two hours before sunset. Drummers gather with their bongos and drums. At the peak, they dance as soon as the sun touches the horizon. These sunset drumming sessions create a danceable, tribal vibe and regularly attract many visitors. After sunset, people often meditate or fire eaters perform.
The market can be perfectly combined with Sant Joan, followed by lunch at Elements or experiencing the famous Benirras drummers. The beach restaurant Elements serves Mediterranean and organic dishes. For evening drinks, the nearby San Juan offers various bars. A must for sunset lovers and explorers of northern Ibiza.
Practical tips for visiting the markets in Ibiza
Want to make the most of your market visit? With the right preparation, your day becomes a relaxed experience instead of a battle through the crowds.
Best times to visit and season
When should you come? Early morning hours offer you the biggest selection and the most relaxed atmosphere. Come early to avoid crowds, especially at Las Dalias and Punta Arabí. At Las Dalias, avoid Saturdays between 11:30 and 14:00, as that’s when it gets busiest. Punta Arabí gets especially crowded after midday.
A smart alternative: the last two hours before closing. Then it’s much quieter and the atmosphere is more relaxed. Night markets are cooler and less crowded. The Las Dalias night market offers a relaxed evening version with twinkling lights from June to September.
Take note of the different seasonal opening times. Some markets are open all year, others only in summer. The Sant Jordi flea market takes place year-round and is especially popular with locals in the low season from October to April. The big hippie markets like Punta Arabí open from April to October. Check the schedules on ibiza-spotlight.com or the respective market websites such as lasdalias.es or hippymarket.info.

More essentials for your market visit:
- Reusable bags reduce plastic waste and are practical for your purchases
- Water is important, as Ibiza can get hot

Prices and bargaining tips
Friendly haggling is part of it, especially for jewelry or crafts. Bargaining is part of the experience at flea markets like San Jordi, but always stay polite. Don’t be afraid to haggle, but do it respectfully. Most prices at Punta Arabí are fixed, but it’s worth asking for a special price if you have several items in mind.
What should you look out for? At large markets like Las Dalias or Punta Arabí, ask for „Hecho a mano“, which is what makes visiting a true craft market special. Choose handmade and local products to support the island’s economy. Walk around and compare prices and quality before buying.
