Off-season — lowest travel prices with still acceptable climate.
December in Ibiza is on the cool side — with highs around 17°C (63°F) it's less suited for a beach holiday, but good for sightseeing away from the high season.
Daytime highs average 17°C (63°F), cooling to 10°C (50°F) at night (daily average: 13°C (55°F)). Peaks reach around 20°C (68°F), the coldest nights around 4°C (39°F).

Pack warm clothing and sturdy footwear. Cool temperatures make hiking and cultural trips enjoyable — beaches are off the agenda.
Ibiza almost sleeps. Only the regulars' bars in Ibiza Town stay open, and the weekly market in Santa Gertrudis belongs to the residents. The whitewashed fincas inland glow in the winter sun like nowhere else.
