Almond Blossoms in Ibiza 2025
The valley of Santa Ines revels in a spring tenderness of white fluffy Almond blossoms
Best time: January–early March
Ibiza, second only to California, is a large producer of almonds, offering a stunning sight for nature lovers. The island’s almond blossoms, with their luminous white and pink hues, blanket the landscape in beauty, especially in areas like the valley of Santa Agnès (Santa Ines). Here, almond trees are adorned with fluffy, flowery covers, creating a picturesque and serene scene that captures the essence of the island’s natural charm.
Blossom Season
In spring, particularly between late January and February, Ibiza's almond trees burst into beautiful white blossoms, reaching their peak bloom around early March. The trees are especially striking under the full moon when the flowers take on a silver-white glow in the moonlight.
Almond Blossoms Locations
One of the best places to witness almond trees in bloom is in Ibiza's northern region, around the charming village of Santa Inés, which is located within the Es Amunts Nature Park, an area of special protection. The trees can also be found in the San Juan Valley, the countryside of San José, along the road from San Antonio, and even towards Cala Conta.
Santa Agnès
The valley of Santa Agnès, located northwest of Ibiza behind the town of Santa Agnès, is renowned for its stunning almond trees, which bloom each spring. This peaceful, picturesque village, a tranquil escape from the island's busier towns, becomes a focal point during the blooming season. One of the best spots for an almond blossom walk is the Pla de Corona, near Santa Agnès. This area is known for its expansive almond groves and stunning views, especially when approached from the road leading from San Antonio to Cala Salada.
Activities
Visiting Santa Agnès during the almond blossom season is a chance to experience both the island’s natural beauty and its traditions. The season coincides with fiestas honoring the patron saint, featuring masses, processions, folklore displays, food tastings, and guided tours. It’s a perfect opportunity to explore the countryside and enjoy local dishes made with almonds, such as borrida de rajada and guisat de peix, as well as traditional sweets like magdalenas payesas.
Guided Walks
Organized walks, offered by Ibiza operators, are a great way to experience the bloom. If you're visiting Ibiza between January and March, a full moon walking tour is a must-do activity. For a more immersive experience, the Almond Walking Weekend package includes a 3.5-hour walk through rustic farmland and woodlands, followed by traditional Ibicencan tapas, local wine, and ice-cold cerveza. Prices are €300 for single travelers and €395 for two sharing.
Almond Harvest
Almonds are an essential part of Ibizan culture and cuisine. They are featured in traditional dishes like Salsa de Nadal, a festive sauce, and romesco, which pairs perfectly with grilled fish or vegetables. After the blooming season ends, visitors to Ibiza can participate in the almond harvest, which takes place from late August to October. Tourists can collaborate with local authorities, farm owners, or tour companies to join in the harvest, offering a unique opportunity to engage with local traditions and gain an authentic cultural experience.
Ibiza Flowers
During spring, visitors can see other types of flowers, such as wildflowers like roses, poppies, crocuses, and anemones, growing in various parts of the island. Ibiza is stunning in spring, so you can enjoy the scenic views while discovering the island.
