General December temperatures in Ibiza are approx. 14 degrees Celsius and it is not uncommon to enjoy our meals al fresco! There is nothing quite like celebrating Christmas full-on Ibicenco style! Beautiful lights, Christmas decorations hanging from every finca and palm tree in Ibiza and empty beaches.
