There is a particular quality to the light in Ibiza in September. It arrives differently — softer in the mornings, more golden in the evenings, as if the island itself has exhaled after the intensity of August. The terraces of the fincas in the north, those ancient farmhouses surrounded by carob trees and dry stone walls, catch this light in a way that is impossible to photograph and difficult to forget.
The yachts that crowded the harbour at Formentera in July have gone. The beach clubs still play music, but at a volume that allows for conversation. The restaurants — the good ones, the ones that have been here longer than the Instagram accounts — begin to feel like themselves again.
September is the month for Es Vedra at sunset, for dinner at a restaurant where the owner still takes your order, for mornings at Cala Salada before anyone else arrives. It is the month for the Ibiza that those who return every year are careful not to mention too loudly.
The island does not reveal itself in August. It reveals itself in September, to those patient enough to wait.
Our collection of villas in Ibiza includes several that are available in September at their most generous rates — the same properties, the same private pools and sea terraces, with the added gift of the island at its best.
