Living in Eivissa

Eivissa is a town of 55,337 inhabitants on the coast in Balearic Islands, with cool winters and hot summers (January nights 7.9°C, August afternoons 30.4°C). 26.4% of residents are foreign nationals (9.8% among the over-65s), so English-speaking services are common. The nearest international school (Morna Internacional College, international curriculum) is 2.8 km away. Winter nights are mild for Spain: 7.9°C on average in January, warmer than 81% of the towns compared. Against that, housing is expensive (5,521 €/m² appraised, 915 € a month for a typical apartment); August is humid (dew point 21.2°C), so the heat feels sticky; recorded crime is high (70.0 per 1,000 residents; Spain about 41). Around 2055, Spain's official climate scenarios put August afternoons here at about 31.0°C and the number of warm nights at 81 a year.

Counted in OpenStreetMap within 800 m of the town centre, taken as the point OpenStreetMap marks as the town's centre, moved at most 500 m to the busiest nearby spot (for a few spread-out municipalities without such a point: the busiest spot near the official coordinate). OpenStreetMap is kept by volunteers: very complete in most Spanish towns, thinner in some. “Everyday essentials” only asks whether the basics are there, so a small town can score 6 of 6; “lively centre” ranks each count among all 333 places and averages them, so it mostly reflects size. Large municipalities with several centres (Lorca, Oleiros, Ames…) can score low because their official centre is a small village.

Holiday lets and beaches

Tourist apartments: 102 (0.43% of all homes; Spain 1.28%), 0.9 tourist beds per 100 residents (May 2026)
Blue Flag beaches: nearest in Santa Eulària des Riu, 12 km; 7 within 30 km

Tourist apartments: INE count of homes listed on Airbnb, Booking and Vrbo. A high share means busy summers and pressure on rents.

Water

No reservoir data: the Balearic and Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla get most of their water from groundwater and desalination plants, which this bulletin does not cover.
