New Year’s First Swim at Ses Figueretes
Ibiza dives into the new year with one of the island’s beloved cold-water traditions, this time taking place on the beach of Ses Figueretes on Thursday January 01, 2026. Locals gather on the shoreline in swimsuits, scarves and the odd Santa hat, ready for a cheerful midday countdown before running straight into the icy Mediterranean. The annual experience is lighthearted and a little bit chaotic in all the best ways.
The atmosphere around the beach of Ses Figueretes feels more like a neighbourhood celebration than a challenge. Families bring thermoses of coffee, friends cheer each other on and a shared sense of playfulness sets the tone for the year ahead. Brave the dip or watch from the sand. Either way, it is one of Ibiza’s chilliest winter rituals and the very best way to shake off all the cobwebs from 2025!
