Could Your Christmas Decorations Win a Night at Ibiza’s Parador? 2026 Competition Opens

10 November 2026

Ibiza Town is inviting residents and local businesses to transform balconies, windows, façades and shop displays into festive Christmas decorations. The second edition of the free competition offers prizes including an overnight stay at the Parador de Ibiza with spa access and breakfast, meals for two at Ca n’Alfredo and baskets of local products. Entries close on 14 December.

Christmas decorations will soon be bringing extra colour and festive atmosphere to the streets of Ibiza Town, as the Ayuntamiento de Eivissa opens registrations for the second edition of its Christmas Decoration Competition.

The initiative, organised by the Town Council's Department of Commerce, encourages residents and local businesses to take part by decorating their homes and shop windows, creating a more festive environment throughout the municipality.

Following its first edition in 2025, the competition returns in 2026 with two categories, free registration and prizes that highlight Ibiza's hospitality and local gastronomy.

Among the awards is an overnight stay at the Parador de Ibiza, including access to its spa circuit and breakfast, alongside dining experiences at Restaurant Ca n’Alfredo and baskets of local products.

Applications are open until Monday, 14 December 2026, but there is an important requirement: all participating decorations must be completely installed and visible from the street by the same deadline.

Two Categories: Private Homes and Commercial Premises

The competition is divided into two categories, giving both residents and local businesses an opportunity to participate.

Category A: Private Homes

This category is open to residents decorating balconies, windows and façades of their homes, provided the displays are visible from public streets.

The aim is to encourage individual creativity and bring Christmas decorations into the residential streets of Ibiza Town.

Category B: Commercial Premises

Local businesses can enter by decorating their shop windows and creating festive displays that contribute to the atmosphere of the city's commercial streets.

This category gives shop owners an opportunity to showcase their creativity while helping make Ibiza Town more attractive during the Christmas shopping season.

Both categories are free to enter, and participants must complete their registration through the official municipal platform.

A Night at the Parador de Ibiza Among the Prizes

One of the most appealing features of this year's competition is the selection of prizes, which combines hospitality experiences with local gastronomy.

According to the published competition information, the first prize in each category consists of a one-night hotel stay at the Parador de Ibiza, including access to the spa circuit and breakfast.

Other awards include meals or dinners for two people at Restaurant Ca n’Alfredo, as well as baskets filled with local products.

A total of three prizes will be awarded in each category, meaning six decorations will receive recognition across the two competitions.

The prizes also provide an opportunity to highlight Ibiza's hospitality businesses and local producers, connecting the Christmas initiative with the island's gastronomic and commercial identity.

How Will the Winners Be Chosen?

The competition will combine professional assessment with public participation.

Once registrations close, a qualified jury will visit the participating decorations between 16 and 18 December 2026.

Following these visits, the jury will select three finalists in each category:

  • Three finalists among private homes.

  • Three finalists among commercial premises.

The final decision will then be made through a public vote using the official Instagram account of the Ayuntamiento de Eivissa.

Residents will be able to vote through the Town Hall's Instagram Stories on 19 and 20 December.

This means the public will have the final say in choosing the winning Christmas displays from the six shortlisted entries.

When Will the Christmas Decorations Be Displayed?

Anyone entering the competition must have their decorations completely installed and visible from the street by 14 December 2026, the final day for registration.

This is an important requirement because submitting an application alone is not sufficient. The actual Christmas display must also be ready for inspection by the deadline.

The competition therefore gives residents and businesses several weeks to plan their designs, purchase materials and prepare their decorations before the jury visits.

When Will the Prizes Be Presented?

The official awards ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday, 23 December 2026, at Passeig de Vara de Rey.

The ceremony will form part of Ibiza Town's wider Christmas celebrations, providing an opportunity to recognise the residents and businesses that contribute to the municipality's festive atmosphere.

The six finalists selected across both categories will be recognised following the public voting process.

Bringing More Christmas Spirit to Ibiza Town

The Christmas Decoration Competition is about more than winning a hotel stay or a meal. It encourages residents and businesses to become part of the festive celebrations by transforming everyday streets into more colourful and welcoming spaces.

For residents, it offers an opportunity to showcase their creativity and take part in a shared community project. For local businesses, it provides another way to attract attention to their shop windows while contributing to the Christmas atmosphere.

With an overnight stay at the Parador de Ibiza among the top prizes, alongside dining experiences and local products, the second edition offers plenty of reasons to get creative.

Registrations are free and remain open until 14 December. Anyone hoping to take part should remember that their decorations must be fully completed and visible from the street by that date.
