Santa Eulària hippie market

What makes the Santa Eulària hippie market special

Right in the middle of Santa Eulària des Riu runs the Passeig de s’Alamera, a tree-lined promenade. In the summer season, this is where the hippie market’s stalls stand. It’s a market along a town promenade, not a large market site like Punta Arabí or Las Dalias.

The spot does have a history of its own. According to the Santa Eulària des Riu town council, Ibiza’s hippie markets began on this promenade. In the 1960s, young Europeans and Americans sold their crafts and paintings here. It was only when the Punta Arabí market opened in 1973 that a market like this became a real attraction on the island.

What you’ll find at the market

• Jewellery and costume jewellery
• Ibiza-style fashion and accessories
• Art
• Natural and handcrafted products

Our 2025 data also lists fresh fruit and vegetables and local delicacies, but official sources don’t mention them. The stalls stand in the shade of the trees. Around the promenade there are cafés and terraces, handy for a coffee or a light lunch.

Opening times

According to the town council, the market is open every day in the summer season except Wednesdays and Sundays. Ibiza’s tourist board gives a season from May to October and describes it as a daily market. Our own 2025 data gives 09:00 to 14:00. We haven’t found official times, so check locally or with the tourist office.

Markets in Santa Eulària des Riu on Visit Santa Eulalia (in Spanish)

The Passeig de s’Alamera and Plaça d’Espanya

The promenade runs from Plaça d’Espanya to the seafront. On the square stands the historic town hall, a building from 1795. Along the promenade are statues of the Ca Eivissenc (Ibizan Hound), the island’s own dog breed, and of ‘fameliars’, figures from Ibizan mythology.

Near Plaça d’Espanya there’s also an old air-raid shelter from the early 20th century. The promenade is a venue for concerts, exhibitions and other markets as well.

Combine the market with the beach and marina

At the end of the promenade is the seafront, with views across the bay. Santa Eulària has two beaches in town. On the eastern side of the bay is the marina, Port Esportiu, with restaurants, shops and bars.

If you have more time, walk up to the Puig de Missa, the hill with the 16th-century church. Or stroll to the western side of town, where the Santa Eulària river flows into the sea.

Getting there and parking

Santa Eulària des Riu is on the east coast, about 15 kilometres north-east of Ibiza Town. The promenade is right in the centre. If you’re coming by car, park in town and walk to the centre. How easy it is to find a space depends on the day and the season.

Tips for your visit

• Combine the market with a walk to the beach or the marina.
• Bring cash: not every stall takes cards.
• Is it Wednesday? Then the market here is closed. On Wednesdays, though, the big Punta Arabí hippie market in Es Canar is open, in the same municipality (from April to October).
