Sant Josep Festivities 2025 program – Family Fun & Village Charm!

One of the many reasons we adore living on Ibiza is that, even in the quieter months, there's always something vibrant happening around the island. Small village festivals pop up like delightful surprises, reminding us how joyful and lively island life is all year round! Sant Josep de sa Talaia is now gearing up for its annual festivities in honor of Saint Joseph, a wonderful reason to gather, laugh, and celebrate community spirit together. From octopus frying competitions to hippie-themed parties—there's something delightful for everyone, especially if you love quirky events and family fun (we certainly do!). So, let’s dive into all the exciting activities lined up:

Tiny treats & big smiles: 5 Simple but sweet spots on Ibiza that keep kids Happy (and Parents caffeinated)

Alright Ibiza parent, in all fairness many of us try to be the ‘no treats today’ type of parent. As parents we actually waited with sugar until our little one was 3 years old. But then our little munchkins give us that puppy-eyed look, and before we know it, we’re handing over a chocolate croissant the size of their head. So, let’s just embrace it: handing out treats is fun, and there are plenty of amazing places on Ibiza where your kiddo can get something tasty without turning into a human bouncy ball. Bonus? You might get to sip calmly on some quality coffee while they indulge.

As a parent living on this vibrant island, I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences that keep my kid feeling this fantastic luxury of being close to nature. If you feel like it's about time to keep yours further away from screens and near to ground earth: Enter *Child of the Wild Ibiza*! This magical initiative, led by the passionate and inspiring Anne Marie, is everything I didn’t know my family needed. It’s where children step out of the everyday and into a world brimming with creativity, exploration, and connection to the wild side of Ibiza.

Every year, winter on Ibiza feels like a little surprise box. Some restaurants stay open, others head off on their winter holidays—but don’t worry! I keep rounding up some short lists of fantastic spots where the whole family can enjoy food, fun, and enjoy some island sunshine. Just a heads up—before you head out, it’s always good to give them a quick call, as some owners like to take surprise vacations during the quieter months.

Gamify mealtime and they'll eat enough for a life-time! There’s something magical about the kitchen when my 6-year-young daughter and I step into it together. It’s not just about the food—it’s the giggles, the experiments, and the shared triumphs when something comes out of the oven just right. Together, we’ve turned cooking into our favorite creative playground. And let me tell you, it’s a game-changer for getting her to eat her veggies and actually love mealtime!

Nearby break - My two day Formentera itinerary for you!

For those unfamiliar with island life, it might seem like living on a vacation spot is all about relaxation. But, just like anyone living in non-vacation cities, we too have jobs, feel stress, and manage daily life. Of course, we’re lucky enough to end our day by unwinding on the beach or in lush countryside gardens and seaviews. That said when we really need to escape the daily grind, our beautiful sister island, Formentera, is just a short commute away, waiting to be explored. I'd love to share our family’s favorite plans to ensure a short family stay in Formentera is worth it.
