December 2026 Public Holidays in Ibiza and the Balearic Islands: Dates and Long Weekends

12 November 2026 г.

The 2026 holiday calendar is approaching its final weeks, with December bringing the last public holidays of the year across Ibiza, Formentera, Mallorca and Menorca. The next general public holiday for the Balearic Islands will be Tuesday, 8 December, for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. However, some residents will have an earlier day off, including those in Formentera, where Sant Francesc Xavier falls on Thursday, 3 December.

This year's December calendar also brings a difference compared with several other Spanish autonomous communities. Monday, 7 December, will not be a general public holiday in the Balearic Islands, although some Mallorca municipalities have designated it as a local holiday. As a result, the possibility of enjoying a long weekend will depend on where people live and their individual work arrangements.

When Is the Next Public Holiday in the Balearic Islands?

The next public holiday applying across the Balearic Islands will be Tuesday, 8 December 2026, for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (Día de la Inmaculada Concepción).

The date is a national public holiday and will be observed in Ibiza, Formentera, Mallorca and Menorca, as well as throughout the rest of Spain.

There is, however, an earlier local exception. Formentera will celebrate Sant Francesc Xavier on Thursday, 3 December, as part of its municipal holiday calendar.

For workers in Ibiza, the next general public holiday will therefore be 8 December, as the island's municipalities have no additional local public holiday scheduled for December.

Why Monday 7 December Is Not a General Public Holiday

The December calendar is affected by the date of Spain's Constitution Day, celebrated annually on 6 December.

In 2026, Constitution Day falls on a Sunday. Although some autonomous communities have transferred the associated day off to Monday, 7 December, the Balearic Government has not included this date as a general regional public holiday.

Consequently, Monday 7 December will normally be a working day across the islands.

There are, however, local exceptions. The official 2026 calendar includes 7 December as a municipal holiday in several Mallorca locations, including Andratx, Ariany, Banyalbufar and Esporles.

Workers should therefore check the calendar applicable to their municipality rather than assume that the same arrangements apply throughout the archipelago.

Will There Be a December Long Weekend in Ibiza?

For workers in Ibiza who normally have Saturdays and Sundays off, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on Tuesday, 8 December, does not automatically create a four-day weekend.

Monday, 7 December, remains an ordinary working day under the general Balearic calendar.

However, employees who are granted Monday off by their employer or through their individual work arrangements can enjoy four consecutive days away from work, from Saturday, 5 December, until Tuesday, 8 December.

The situation differs in parts of Mallorca where 7 December is a local public holiday.

Formentera also has an additional opportunity to enjoy a longer break because Sant Francesc Xavier falls on Thursday, 3 December. Workers who can take Friday, 4 December, and Monday, 7 December, off could enjoy six consecutive days away from work, from Thursday, 3 December, through Tuesday, 8 December.

Christmas Brings Two Consecutive Public Holidays

The final two general public holidays of 2026 in the Balearic Islands will fall on 25 and 26 December.

Christmas Day, Friday, 25 December, is a national public holiday observed throughout Spain.

The following day, Saturday, 26 December, is also a public holiday in the Balearic Islands. Known as the Second Feast of Christmas (Segunda Fiesta de Navidad), it is included in the region's official 2026 holiday calendar.

The two dates create consecutive public holidays across Ibiza, Formentera, Mallorca and Menorca.

For workers who normally have Sundays off, the Christmas holiday period can provide three consecutive days away from work, from Friday, 25 December, through Sunday, 27 December. However, the actual benefit will depend on individual working schedules, particularly for those who work weekends.

All Remaining General Public Holidays in the Balearic Islands in 2026

According to the official calendar approved by the Balearic Government, the remaining general public holidays for the archipelago are:

  • Tuesday, 8 December: Immaculate Conception.

  • Friday, 25 December: Christmas Day.

  • Saturday, 26 December: Second Feast of Christmas.

Formentera also has its local public holiday on Thursday, 3 December, while certain Mallorca municipalities have local holidays on Monday, 7 December.

These dates complete the general public holiday calendar for the Balearic Islands in 2026, with the Christmas celebrations providing the final consecutive holiday period of the year.
