It’s an evening market: according to the town council, the stalls don’t open until 18:00. Platja d’en Bossa is a nightlife area with lots of hotels, bars, beach clubs and clubs. According to our 2025 data, as well as beachgoers, the market draws plenty of people on a night out.

There are several car parks along the road behind the beach, often at restaurants. How easy it is to find a space in the evening depends on the season. If you’re staying in Platja d’en Bossa itself, you can walk there.
Combine the market with the beach
According to Ibiza’s tourist board, Platja d’en Bossa is the longest beach on the island, with more than 2.5 kilometres of sand. The beach runs from the municipality of Eivissa into Sant Josep. Along it you’ll find restaurants, bars and beach clubs.
At the southern end stands the Torre de sa Sal Rossa, a 16th-century defence tower. This is also where the Parc Natural de ses Salines begins. The beach faces east. According to Sant Josep’s tourist office, you can watch the sun rise from the beach over Dalt Vila, the walled upper town of Ibiza Town.
Tips for your visit

- Go to the beach or the Torre de sa Sal Rossa first, then walk over to the market.
- Keep an eye on your belongings in the evening, as you would in any nightlife area.
- If you’re coming by car, check whether your parking space is free or paid.
