Ibiza draws 3.38m tourists, but stays get shorter

The island of Ibiza, in the Balearics, draws 3.38 million tourists in 2025, but they stay for less time: overnight stays fall 4.8% even as arrivals rise 3.3%. The average visit drops to 5.4 days. The figures come from the Balearic Islands Economic and Social Council’s annual report, presented at Ibiza’s island council on Wednesday, 7 October.

More tourists, fewer nights

Tourists on Ibiza spend €224 per person per day, up 5% on the previous year. That is more than on any other Balearic island, according to the council.

August puts pressure on the island

The report’s human pressure indicator, a count of people on the island, reaches 297,307 in August 2025. That is 81% above Ibiza’s 164,265 registered residents. The report says this puts pressure on services, housing and infrastructure. On Mallorca, the equivalent figure is 49.8%.

Ibiza island councillor Salvador Losa says the August figure needs a longer view. Since 2016, the number of tourists in August has fallen by nearly 30,000 a day, while the number of residents has risen by 22,000, he says. In 2016, the indicator stood 121.8% above the registered population.
