It’s that time of the year: the island is calling, the dancefloor awaits. We’re here to tell you why visiting Ibiza in May might be the perfect time for you.
Whether your Ibiza trip is something you’ve been thinking about for months, or you’re feeling spontaneous and want to get away ASAP, this handy guide might help you get the wheels in motion.
Residency Opening Parties
It all starts with an opening party and there’s nothing quite like the thrill of being there at the very beginning. There’s the ANTS Opening Party with Andrea Oliva, Green Velvet and many more this Saturday, the 3rd. On the 14th, Tomorrowland Presents Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike kicks off, and Calvin Harris is igniting his historic double residency on 30th. May is the month of grand openings, new beginnings and some of the best parties of the year.
Competitive Flight Prices
Flights cost less, too. As we’re not quite in the heart of the summer madness yet, airlines offer more competitive deals. May might be the best for those looking to keep travel costs to a minimum.
ANTS
ANTS is our legendary Saturday showcase of the most exciting underground talent and sounds, and since 2013 has become an Ibiza institution. From the 3rd onwards, they’ll transform Saturdays at Ushuaïa Ibiza into the futuristic world of ANTS METALWORKS. The Opening Party is bursting at the seams with cutting-edge techno artists such as Andrea Oliva, Chelina Manuhutu, SYREETA and Nic Fanciulli.
Gorgeous Weather
With an average high of 23 degrees throughout the month, May is a great choice for sun chasers. The island and its coasts are stunning all year round, but being there for the first proper sunshine of 2025 is something special.
More Places To Stay
Hotels and apartments will offer more competitive prices throughout May, compared with the rest of the summer. There will be more availability and your money goes further, meaning you might be able to upgrade to a suite or a bigger place.
Tomorrowland presents Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike
Starting their residency in May was such a vibe last year, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike are back to do it again. Every Wednesday from May 14th, the superstar Belgian brothers will bring pure magic to the stage, while Tomorrowland’s production will take you to another planet. Throughout the month they’re joined by Lost Frequencies, Brina Knauss, Agents of Time and others.
May Bank Holidays
Most European countries are blessed with two bank holidays in May, which means you can make your annual leave go a little further. By booking three days off this month you could fit in ANTS, Calvin Harris, and Tomorrowland Presents Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike. You can spend the rest of your trip on beach days and exploring the island in the sun.
Calvin Harris
Do you want to be part of history? Calvin Harris begins his world-first double residency at Ushuaïa Ibiza on Friday the 30th. The biggest party on the island is somehow getting bigger, and Calvin will be joined by a crew of special guests to mark this big moment.
Start the party early
Let’s be honest: the best thing about going to Ibiza in May is that you start the party early and experience the magic sooner. Why wait until peak season to get stuck in? The time is now!
