About
This lively hippie market has been an enclave of creativity in Es Canar since 1973. Here, you can soak up the bohemian atmosphere, get a henna tattoo, and explore over 500 colorful stalls and tents. You'll see local artisans and artists showing off their handmade clothes, jewelry, cosmetics and antiques, and also food stalls selling local Iberian fare and wine. There are also live musical performances staged, featuring local and international musicians across genres. The kids will also love the children's play area, where they can get their faces painted and make flower crowns while the adults shop. The opening days and hours change throughout the year so remember to check before you head down. – Tripadvisor

- 395jerryGloucester, United Kingdom40 contributionsDisappointed and expensiveWe were staying near by, so decided to walk to the market. There were loads of stalls. But alot of it was the same sort of stuff. We thought it over priced. We didn't buy anything.It was also very crowded. Overall we were disappointed. And glad we hadn't paid to get there on a trip. Personally we wouldn't recommend itVisited September 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 22 September 2023
- Hanham VBristol, United Kingdom522 contributionsJust About Worth ItEchoing an older review, don't make a special trip particularly if on the other side of the island (San Antonio for example) but if you are in the area of Es Canar and Santa Eulalia then worth a couple of hours. There are two opening days: Wednesdays all day and then a Friday evening. The buses run along the main road outside, or the ferry that comes up from Santa Eulalia is a good choice as well. Lots of stalls and very very busy which may explain some of the low ratings - it can be off putting to be constantly jostling or avoiding people coming at you. Not sure how much of the stuff for sale is local produce - more like imports to my mind but it is interesting all the same. There are a few places to eat and a bar with live music. Average rating from me. Add to the list for a distracting couple of hoursVisited September 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 2 October 2023
- Dianna O21 contributionsA large and varied marketWe went to the market in the afternoon as it was a little cooler and hopefully, less busy. There was still a crowd there, but we were able to get around easily. The market was full of varied stalls - clothes, jewelry, glassware, perfume and many various hand made gifts. There was a lovely feel as we walked around, stopping to listen to a singer. Thoroughly enjoyed our time and would recommend this as an excursion.Visited October 2023Travelled with familyWritten 25 October 2023
- SharyVienna, Austria186 contributionsAwesome market surrounded by stunning natureWhat an amazing, fun and interesting place this is :) I have been there twice and each time it is really cool and one of the highlights. Especially if you do the day-boat trip, it's just so relaxing and yet exciting and all. Also the surrounding nature is just so beautiful and tranquil Punta Arabi is definitely recommendedVisited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten 6 March 2024

So glad I took a day trip from Ibiza city to this location. It is easily accessible by bus fro Ibiza city, but be aware that return busses stop somewhat early (check schedules based on season) and a taxi back to the city cost over 34euro. However, it was entirely worth it- the shops are super interesting, there is music and local wares, local goods and beer. I found the people here to be much friendlier than elsewhere in the island, and the vibe is relaxed and calm. Got some great local wares to take home. Will definitely return when I can!

There’s very little “hippy” about this market, which is basically there as a tourist trap.
Once you’ve paid €4 to park on a patch of disused land, you enter a large collection of stalls selling goods that appear to be imports from the Far East. Very few stalls had anything that was locally made, and prices are way higher than local shops.
Very busy though, so keep wearing your mask, despite a lot of others not bothering once past the entrance. Do your best to social distance (which was nigh on impossible, and we visited towards the end of the day when it was less busy)
I personally won’t be back. Try the Las Dalias market instead, a far more authentic experience.

It’s a market. Not sure where the hippy part comes in. Maybe years ago it was but not now. Like others have said there are some amazing things for sale. Some original even 😊 But as I was staying in the area I was able to compare prices…. Some items are much more expensive at the “market”… It’s a great experience if you’ve never been before…. Just be mindful of what you buy 😊

Looking at many of the other photos, I can assume this dies down a bit later in the season as I think I went to two of the last ones of the year - it was more of just the market with some food stalls. But it was still very vibrant and exciting - lots of stalls, and smells, and sounds, generally a great multisensory experience.
Maybe not so good for young children or older people, it was very crowded, and those who did bring buggies just got in the way - and I saw lots of older folk at the sides wondering how to get out. But everyone in between seemed to be enjoying the hustle and bustle.
Got a few bargains, most stall owners are happy to barter, and while you see a lot of the same stuff, there are also lots of nice unique objects that are great for souvenirs. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip to the area.

Not your usual souvenir, looky, looky Market. Handmade local sellers so the prices are quite high but good quality items. Food was very expensive, €7 for a cone of fries. Very hot and crowded, preffered the night hippy market at La Dalias as cooler and the lights make it quite magical.

To be honest, it is a flea market, alot of stalls selling the same stuff. Bob Marley and petunia oil (amongst other things) in the air, some fine art for sale and the usual bric a brac. Best to go before 10.30 as it gets very busy.

A lovely bustling market open on Wednesdays. There are plenty of cafe/ food options inside and nearby so you can go and make a day of it. Some things are a bit pricey, jewellery, souvenirs (cheaper at the many souvenir shops in playa de bossa area where we stayed). You will get some lovely bespoke items here which you couldn’t find in the shops. We also stocked up on crystals here at some of the Crystal stalls. Everyone’s very friendly and helpful. Card payments taken at all the stalls we shopped at although some prefer cash. A nice Ibiza vibe. Great for families, groups and singles. A nice day out. Weather was lovely even though was forecast rain and was overcast further south where our hotel was. Worth a visit.

The Hippy Market is a must, even if it's just to say you've done it. There are hundreds of stalls and even though some of them are quite repetitive in product, the prices vary. You can buy some weird and wonderful decorations and clothing.

Great place for shopping for souvenirs, local artists, crafts, music and food. Always worth to negotiate.
Quite popular however many parking opportunities on walking distance (€4 a day)

Hallo ich bin im Juli das erstmal auf Ibiza und wollte sehr gern den Markt besuchen. Wir wohnen in Es Canar. Welcher Bus fährt zu dem Markt ? Ich kenne mich überhaupt nicht aus dort. Vielen dank für die hilfe. Und wann ist der Markt immer. Wir sind nur eine Woche dort.
Written 5 January 2020
Hallo, es gibt keinen Bus zum Hippiemarkt, aber Sie können dorthin in 15 Minuten zu Fuß gehen, 1,2 km.
Mit dem Auto kostenpflichtige Parkplätze sind obligatorisch und es ist nicht gegeben.
Für den Markt ist die Atmosphäre nett, aber ich habe nicht vor, gute Geschäfte zu machen. Die Hippies haben das Geschäft verstanden, alles ist überteuert. Ich wünsche Ihnen eine schöne Reise. Es gibt sehr schöne Ecken der Natur, in denen die Menge fehlt.
