Then we head straight up to Dalt Vila for what is — hands down — one of the most family friendly annual island events: the Eivissa Medieval Fair. Yes, it’s that time again, when Ibiza’s old town transforms into a magical swirl of knights, dragons 🐉, jesters, and falcons. And trust me, this is not just some touristy sideshow with a plastic sword or two. It’s four days of full-on, time-traveling, giggle-inducing, snack-sampling, puppet-watching mayhem — and you'll love every second of it.

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.
