Meanwhile, the northern part of Ibiza saw a smaller decrease of 1.6%. Eivissa and Sant Josep followed with 0.9% and 1% declines, respectively. However, Sant Antoni, another major tourist area, maintained stable occupancy rates at 93.39%, identical to last year’s figures.

Formentera’s Mixed Results

Formentera started the month strong, with a 90.38% hotel occupancy in the first half of August. However, the second half saw a significant drop, ending the month with an overall occupancy of 86.63%. This contributed to a 1.6% decline for the entire month compared to 2023.

Despite the drop, the overall hotel occupancy for both Ibiza and Formentera between May and August 2024 remained strong. Ibiza’s occupancy from May to August reached 83.99%, slightly lower than 2023’s 84.84%. Formentera, however, saw a slight increase, rising from 74.55% in 2023 to 75.19% in 2024.

Seasonal Overview

While August saw some declines, the broader 2024 tourist season from May through August remains relatively positive. Formentera’s slight overall improvement and Ibiza’s minimal decline suggest that the Pitiusas islands still enjoy a healthy flow of tourists, though the August figures hint at potential adjustments needed to maintain strong numbers for the future.
