Step back in time and get ready for Ibiza's medieval festival 2025 🏰🦅

Every May, the kids are all excited and gallop around the house with their foam swords or trusty stick horses 🐴⚔️, already in full knight mode before we've even left the driveway. 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.

Parco Ibiza: the no-nonsense glam place2be for Ibiza families!

Let me tell you about Parco Ibiza, one of my favorite spots on the island. Now, as Ibiza residents, we all know we’re not out here living the tourist dream—because, let’s face it, unless you’re an early pensioner, most of us still work hard for our money...

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

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.

Mamacita to the rescue! Feeding challenges here we come...

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!

5 Must-Visit Family sunny restaurants on Ibiza

5 Must-Visit Family sunny restaurants on Ibiza

Unlike many northern European countries, children are welcome almost everywhere in Ibiza, from simple cafés to elegant restaurants. This is what I love about Ibiza: you can take your kids anywhere! For this reason, I’m not focusing on the typical Spanish restaurants in this list, as they usually serve similar food and always have room for the little ones. In most places, kids can order half portions of menu dishes. Waiters greet them with a smile, often handing out paper, pencils, and even toys.
