What makes Ibiza such a great place to live?
The island is unique – there’s a sense of wellbeing here that’s unlike anywhere else. Those who live in Ibiza have two distinct lifestyles: one for summer and one for winter. Summer is a time for extroversion, joy and entertaining at home. There are unforgettable sunsets, boat trips and parties. Winters are for hibernation and turning inwards, enjoying nature and the beautiful landscapes. There’s a big history of hippie culture here – a sense of freedom and wildness. If Ibiza catches you, it will be the love of your life.
What kinds of property can you find – and where?
Ibicenco farmhouses, known as fincas payesas, are one of the most authentic expressions of the island’s cultural identity: traditional rural homes built using local materials, in harmony with nature. Their understated beauty has long attracted the attention of artists and architects – and they remain a powerful symbol of Ibiza’s cultural heritage. There are wonderful historic palaces in Dalt Vila, the capital’s old town, and exceptional new-build villas in dramatic Cap Martinet and Vista Alegre, close to Es Cubells.
Who’s buying in Ibiza, and why?
Owning a property in Ibiza has become incredibly desirable. Many of our buyers are European tech or financial CEOs who can work remotely, travel easily when they need to – the island’s airport has excellent connections to mainland Spain, Amsterdam, Switzerland and the UK – and leave their family here.
