If you’re fed up with mince pies, grey skies and repeats on the TV, you may well be dreaming of an alternative Christmas. If sunshine, international DJs and endless fun sound more appealing than an underwhelming roast and a day of hanging out with the family, why not pack your bags, jump on a plane and come and join us in Ibiza this Christmas?

Events take place across the island throughout the festive period, with everything from family friendly concerts and Christmas markets to huge club nights, DJ sets and beach parties on offer. What’s more, if you get bitten by the Ibiza bug, you can stick around for New Year and welcome 2017 in style. To help you plan your festive Balearic break, we’ve picked a few of our favourite festive events from across the White Isle.
