Ibiza enjoys a Mediterranean climate with long, hot summers and mild winter temperatures. From June to September, day time temperatures range from the low twenties to the mid-thirties. August is the hottest month, with an average high of 31°c. Winters in Ibiza are quiet, with many of the island’s tourist hotspots closed until the next spring.  However, temperatures are still much warmer than in Birmingham, rarely dropping into single figures during the day.

Prices in Ibiza can be a little more expensive than in mainland Spain. There are some exclusive bars and restaurants where you can expect to pay much more than in the rest of Spain or in Birmingham. However, there are plenty of cheap eating and drinking options if you head to local venues. The average cost of a mid-range three course meal for two is around €35.00. You’ll also find that travelling by taxi or on public transport is cheaper in Ibiza than in Birmingham.
