Ibiza 2023 – The ultimate Easter and spring break holiday destination

In Ibiza, the spring and Easter holidays offer fantastic experiences and are rightfully regarded as one of the happiest times of the year due to its spectacular landscapes, breathtaking beaches and perfect climate. Of course, it is remarkably quieter, so it’s a great time to enjoy outdoor activities and cultural activities alike. This means that no matter what your tastes and preferences may be, you are certain to find something that suits you.

Check out our top recommended things to do in Ibiza below. We’re confident you will find everything you need to make your holiday enjoyable on the island during the spring and Easter holidays.

Nature Activities in the springtime, Ibiza

Engaging in activities in the fresh air is one of the most effective ways to boost energy, re-awaken the brain, and lift the spirits. Spring offers a variety of hiking, biking and watersports options for exploring the most picturesque parts of our island. Here are our top favourite outdoor activities to experience during your spring or Easter stay:

Walking Ibiza Tours

Walking Ibiza has been taking visitors around our beautiful island since 2010. Whether you wish to enjoy the peace and quiet or enjoy insider information about the island, you will be guided by someone who knows the island and routes well.

Kayak Ibiza

Kayak Ibiza has an international team that loves outdoor activities and nature. Taking you along the most scenic routes on the water and showing you hidden spots, they know Ibiza’s coastline better than anyone. Additionally, they offer guided stand-up paddle excursions and guided walks.

Bike Ibiza

Professionalism, adventure, and respect for nature are the hallmarks of Bike Ibiza. Various levels of tours are available around the entire island. Depending on your preferences, you can ride a mountain bike, a road bike, or an e-bike.

Golf Ibiza

Roca Llisa’s private housing urbanisation in Santa Eulalia is home to the island’s only golf course. With more than ten kilometres of outstanding countryside, breathtaking views and a constant sea breeze, Golf Ibiza is a unique and pleasant place to practice golf with family and friends during the winter season.

Say Yachts Ibiza

Our preferred collaborators, Say Yac h t, offer low-emission yachting in Ibiza, Formentera, and Mallorca. The boat charter company has been providing conscious yachting options on Ibiza for over 20 years, aiming to significantly reduce emissions on our beloved island by being out on the water in an eco-friendly way. The perfect way to explore the island out at sea!

Hippy Markets in Ibiza

Ibiza has a number of unique and lively artisan markets. With weekly openings, events, great food, and live music, these island attractions have always been very popular and have drawn regular recurring tourists. The spring is a great time to gather for relaxed, casual weekends filled with history, culture, and community.

The top four hippie markets on offer are:

The famous Las Dalias Hippy Market with its brightly decorated outdoor terraces of over 200 market stalls
San Juan’s popular Sunday market, perhaps the most cultured hippy origin with entertaining live music, regular dancing and a delicious paella street food performance will be finally back from February 2023 onwards.
The grand flea market in Sant Jordi (every Saturday morning), sells an abundance of almost anything from ‘bric and brac’ to some relatively valuable household furniture.
Punta Arabi is a mix of San Juan’s low-key vibe and Las Dalias size…. Here, people arrive by ‘the coach load’ to shop the market stalls and enjoy a day out in Es Canar.

Museums and Galleries

Ibiza is known for its two main cultural attractions in Ibiza Town; the Museum of Archaeology and the Contemporary Art Museum of Ibiza. Both are well worth a visit. If archaeology is of interest, the Dalt Vila Museum preserves and researches remains found on the islands of Ibiza and Formentera over the last few thousand years. Visitors can discover ancient artefacts and excavated burial sites, tracing the history of the island from Punic to Roman times.

If art is more your style, then The Contemporary Art Museum of Ibiza also located in Dalt Vila, is a wonderfully unique art gallery showcasing permanent collections of art from the 1960’s all the way through to new modern art.

Planned in Easter and spring season festivities in Ibiza

There is no doubt that Ibiza is known as the Isle of Saints and as a place where almost all the villages and towns have been named after saints, and where each of them even celebrates their own Patron Saint.

Here are spring and Easter public holidays and planned fiestas for 2023 & 2024

Ibiza 2022: The end of a significant year here at Prestige Properties Ibiza

We at Prestige Properties Ibiza are proud to say that 2022 has been an exceptionally successful year, despite its unexpected hardships. Together as a team, we are stronger than ever and are proud to announce our company milestones and share our accomplishments with you.

Here is a brief summary of what the past year has brought us, our progress, and the new adventures we plan on taking on in 2023.

Tribute to Pascale – a truly exceptional woman

2022 kicked off with a very unexpected loss for Prestige Properties. Sadly, on Friday, April 1st 2022, we said goodbye and celebrated Pascale Dufournier’s life after losing her fight with cancer. We lost a wonderful person who was our beloved company’s very heart and soul. A young woman from Paris, Pascale came to Ibiza in 1976 to follow her dreams. Her passion for design, elegance, and the island she loved led to the creation of Prestige Properties in 1983.

The many beautiful qualities that Pascale brought to her life and work will never be forgotten – generosity, a caring way of being, exquisite style and humour, a joyful zest for life, and her love for the island of Ibiza. Throughout the course of her life, she was dedicated to sharing her joy with family, friends, and those of us who were thankful to be a part of her company. As Pascale often said, "Prestige has never been "work" to me; it has been my family." She will be so deeply missed, yet her presence remains with us in our lives and at Prestige. Read our full tribute to the wonderful Pascale here, a truly exceptional woman.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is what we at Prestige Properties Ibiza consider a humble way of giving back to Ibiza. As a company and individuals, we are grateful for our home and opportunities, which motivates us to acknowledge our accountability through change.

Since 2017, we have prioritised green living and charitable giving as part of our company and lifestyle. These actions include:

Reducing Co2 Emissions through Calculation, Reduction & Recycling
Donating a portion of every sale and rental commission to IbizaPreservation
Regular Contributions to Local Charities Focusing on Social Equality
Supporting Local Sports and Youth Clubs via our UD Ibiza Sponsorship and others
Advocating Green Living & Advice for Ibiza Property Owners and Tenants – Guides on sustainable tourism and energy efficiency in homes.

Throughout 2022, we have invested in more hybrid cars, participated in beach clean-ups, and devised home guides for owners and tourists, ensuring energy efficiency and promoting sustainability in Ibiza. We have all the latest news, home guides, collaborations, and achievements on our going green page.

In an exciting development, we have recently launched our most recent green campaign as part of our commitment to the environment and love for the island.

Our recently launched campaign, ‘Campaña Escombro‘, was developed in collaboration with Novaforma construction company to clean up illegal construction dumping on the island. Contributing to solving problems caused by tourism, renovations, and the influx of ongoing construction projects. Here, we encourage everyone, from our clients, collaborators, local businesses and island residents, to actively participate and join forces with us in "Going Green & Giving Back".

You can read more here and learn how to get involved, be part of the solution, and make a difference for Ibiza’s optimal habitat.

Last but not least, in keeping with our green campaign and to ensure that our clients have the most enjoyable Ibiza experience, we now include the De Angel amenities line of organic hair care and body care in our rental welcome gift pack. De Angel makes natural body cleansing products that are 100% natural and derived from local sources. A little something to make your stay both sustainable and memorable.

Going green campaign Prestige properties Ibiza

New team members at Prestige Properties Ibiza

The island has certainly grown more than expected in general since the pandemic, becoming a much more desirable and trendy place to live, with both the selling of homes and long-term rentals, as well as tourism at an all-time high, especially among families and international buyers. The influx of inquiries was such that Prestige Properties Ibiza had to hire more staff by the summer of 2021 to handle the influx of inquiries. This trend continued directly into 2022 as well. So, with that said, a special warm welcome and thank you to our brand new team members from 2022, Edgar, Gabriel Dufournier, and Carlos.

Prestige Properties Ibiza team 2022 /2023

Our new Prestige Properties Ibiza concierge service

Having built up reliable connections and collaborations on the island, we launched our brand new concierge services in 2022, ensuring the finest service on the island. Whatever you need, we can arrange it. Our services include airport pick-up and return, yacht charters and island boat tours, in-house chefs, event management referrals, grocery shopping, delivery and pre-stocking, wellness, yoga, personal training, spa and massage treatments, home cinema and entertainment, VIP reservations, and much more. We’ll do everything we can to ensure you experience the best of Ibiza.

With Prestige Properties, we offer multiple complimentary packages, or you can also choose from our paid packages for that extra memorable stay! Visit our concierge page or a recent blog for more information.

Almost time to celebrate our 40th anniversary at Prestige Properties Ibiza

The year 2023 will be an exceptional one for us at Prestige Properties Ibiza, as the year that will mark our 40th anniversary in business. It would be an understatement to say that the journey has inspired us all so far. We are proud of our role as one of the leading real estate agencies in the island’s luxury housing market. As part of celebrating this milestone, we have invested in renovating and reconstructing the Ibiza office to make it more energy-efficient and comfortable for our team members.

Welcome Gift from De Angel Natural Soap made in Ibiza

At Prestige Properties we realise how fortunate we are to live on a beautiful island. To preserve the beauty of Ibiza and to ensure that many generations after us can live just as happily and healthily, we try to contribute in many ways to a greener local environment. To this end, we have set up our Prestige Goes Green campaign. For example, as part of this campaign, we donate part of our commissions from every sale and rental deal to IbizaPreservation, to support local environmental initiatives.

In line with our green campaign and to ensure that our clients have the best Ibiza experience we now include the De Angel amenities line of natural hair and body care in our rental welcome gift pack. Our wish is to make you to feel at home and enjoy the very best of what the island has to offer.

De Angel is a family-run business that is committed to making sustainable and natural body cleansing products in solid format. In the creation of their products, De Angel tries to use as many natural, locally sourced ingredients as possible. The results are natural soaps that provide a refreshing experience and the natural care that your body deserves.

The founders were inspired by the island’s beautiful nature and their products aim to bring its essence into your home. The products are cut and packaged carefully by hand. Their paper packaging makes them stand out from other products as the impact on the environment is almost zero. In addition, the solid products lasts much longer than any liquid alternative.

Are you familiar with the De Angel history?

Luz and Ramon, the owners of De Angel, decided to move to Ibiza in 2011 together with their children, as they were tired of hectic city-life in Valencia. After a beautiful summer on the island and a family conversation about natural soaps, they decided to start their own company to develop soaps with natural ingredients inspired by the island. This was a new challenge for them because they had no experience in this, but they knew that together they would make a good team because Luz was always busy with handicrafts and Ramon had a background in graphic design.

During those winter months they discovered more of the beauty that Ibiza offers, and all the natural ingredients they could use for their recipes. With this inspiration they started experimenting with countless ingredients such as plants, vegetable oils etc. The results were beautiful products which they became more enthusiastic about every day, and which gave them the motivation to continue.

As Spring approached, they had created some wonderful products, with beautiful and handmade packaging. However, they did not have any customers since their products were not yet known among the islanders and tourists. To make sure their name grew, and their products were recognised, they started selling their products in the famous markets of Ibiza: Las Dalias, Sant Joan and Hippie Market Punta Arabí. Soon they received enthusiastic client responses about the quality of their products and to this day they continue to distribute them to the markets from their store in Port des Torrent, in the south of Ibiza.

We hope you enjoy this little welcome gift, and we invite you to be a part of the green solution by checking out some of the ways in which you can make your Ibiza stay more sustainable and help to preserve our beautiful island:

The Ibiza Travel Forecast 2022

For the first time in almost two years, 2022 is appearing to be the very best year to date for travel. Naturally, travel and tourism still involve advance planning and remaining patient and flexible, but as countries are easing restrictions, and vaccination passports, passenger locator forms, and health testing are becoming the new normal, the vast majority of travellers are finally feeling confident to plan and take their next vacation as normal.

Gratefully, there was a lot of unexpected optimism in the tourism industry here in Ibiza over the past two seasons, particularly in the luxury travel sector. Although we all hoped that the optimism would continue, recent "good news" from the media and the nightclub industry have given us every reason to expect the summer of 2022 to be an even better year for Ibiza, attracting tourists from across the globe and bringing things back to how they once were.

Ibiza Night Clubs are Due to Open for their First Full Season this 2022

In addition to the nightclubs announcing their opening this year, they have also planned to open two weeks earlier than usual, from the end of April, through until October, or possibly November if all goes well.

As part of the island’s nightlife season, all major operators are working hard to get ready. With a possible 65% capacity, a valid COVID passport, differentiated zones to ease into things safely, and a few necessary restrictions, the clubs will hopefully be fully operational in early Spring.

So far, Amnesia has announced their opening party for 2022 and it has not taken long to revolutionise clubbers around the world, who are already placing their bets on the lineup of the opening. On May 21 Amnesia opens its doors and tickets are already on sale too.

General COVID-19 Restrictions and Measurements in Ibiza

Even though we can’t predict what the season ahead holds, Ibiza adapted well both during the summer of 2020 and 2021, maintaining a very positive attitude and safety throughout, where the majority of activities and many social events continued to operate as usual. It is evident from the past two seasons, even during much uncertainty, that tourism and events in 2022 will continue to increase and thrive on the island.

We have not only seen an increase in culinary experiences, including the opening of numerous new restaurants, especially in the Santa Eulalia area, but tourists have also taken a deeper interest in a multitude of outdoor activities such as sunset charters, private yachts, and the discovery of the island’s hidden gems! All of which has led to many tourism sectors having reported experiencing their best summer seasons, even when compared to prior to the pandemic.

Over the winter period 2021/22 we saw a brief tightening of restrictions, whereby proof of ‘COVID Vaccination Passports’ was required for entering restaurants and attending large-scale events. However, these restrictions eased after 2 weeks as the social Christmas season returned back to normal. Like many European countries, mandatory masks are still required in busy urbanised areas and when attending public places like supermarkets and indoor venues, something that will likely continue and is preferred for the safety of us all.

So right now, apart from the above-mentioned mask-wearing, there are NO Covid-related RESTRICTIONS in Ibiza.

Travel to Ibiza Safely this Season 2022 – Entry Requirements to Enter Spain

It is very important to stay up-to-date on both the requirements for entering Spain as well as the restrictions that may apply once you arrive in Spain.

In light of the fact that the Pandemic is constantly changing, here are a few links and information points to keep in mind. You can take the majority of the stress out of your travel experience if you have a solid understanding of what to expect before you go and can effectively plan everything that you need.

Do I need a Health Control or Passenger Locator Form to enter Ibiza?

The safety of tourism is dependent on the health control measures taken. The Balearic Islands require that all visitors entering from other international countries, regardless of their nationality, age, or any other consideration, complete a health check or a passenger locator form.

It is important to note that the only travellers to whom this form does not apply to are international passengers in transit at a Spanish airport with a final destination in another country, provided that the transit lasts less than 24 hours and that the passengers do not leave the airport premises. It is imperative that each form is fully completed accurately on an individual basis in order to check-in and fly. Each form can only be associated with one trip at a time.Health Check Forms for all travel into Spain can be found here: https://spth.gob.es

Do I need a Vaccination Certificate, Diagnostic Test or Recovery Certificate to enter Ibiza?

All passengers arriving from another country must present one of the following documents in order to enter Spain:

A certificate of Vaccination against COVID-19

Valid from 14 days after the complete vaccination schedule (x2) and for up to one year after the date of vaccination.

A negative certification of an active infection diagnostic test

Required 72h prior to arrival in the Balearic Islands or a rapid antigen test, 48h prior to arrival in the Balearic Islands. Currently, at the point of publishing this type of certificate is NOT accepted in the case of passengers arriving from the United Kingdom (UK). A full Vaccination certificate is required.

A certificate of recovery after having contracted the disease

Corresponding to a test within a period not exceeding 180 days after the date of the first positive result of an active infection diagnostic test (NAAT) and no earlier than 11 days following the date of that positive result. Currently, at the point of publishing this type of certificate is NOT accepted in the case of passengers arriving from the United Kingdom (UK). A full Vaccination certificate is required.

These certificates (vaccination, diagnostic test, recovery) must be the original, written in either Spanish, English, French, or German, and may be presented in paper or electronic format.

For regular updates and more information see Safe Tourism Illes Balears Travel.

Find a COVID Test Centre in Ibiza

Tourists and residents of the Balearic Islands can take the rapid antigen test upon arrival without an appointment at the Balearic Islands Health Service’s COVID EXPRÉS testing centres.

Here you can find your Covid Express Testing Centres

Thanks for staying updated with Prestige Properties Ibiza. We are looking incredibly forward to another successful tourist season and the slow return of one of our main tourist attractions, Ibiza’s globally recognised Night Clubs.

Prestige Properties Ibiza – It’s the Season of Giving Back

Every year around Christmas, Prestige Properties supports a local charity. For 2021, we have chosen two charitable purposes: Ibiza Food Bank, which collects food for people in need, and Peacharoo, a caring heart who is raising funds to build a school for orphans in Uganda.

Ibiza Food Bank – Alleviating Poverty in Ibiza

Undoubtedly living through a global pandemic, for the last two years, has been quite challenging for everybody. While some were able to rearrange their way of living and working, others have lost their jobs, homes, and loved family members. Particularly here in Ibiza, people have suffered immensely due to the pandemic, as it has had a dramatic impact on the island’s economy. While many were able to work during the summer months, when tourism is booming, many fall into unemployment in winter.

As plenty of Ibiza’s inhabitants lose their regular income in winter, they must live from what they’ve earned during the high season, hence finding themselves in a miserable situation, with little or no income, no savings, and in the worst cases, without food.

For this reason, Ibiza Food Bank started their initiative, supporting those who cannot afford to buy food. Their volunteers collect food donations and cash donations across the island. The donated food is then sorted in Playa Den Bossa, stored, and distributed to their charity partners (The Red Cross, Caritas, Mother Teresa Food Bank in Jesus, Equip Voluntario, Food for Ibiza, and Doctors of the World). With their help, around 4000 people are being fed, weekly.

To maximise their time and donations, Ibiza Food Bank has partnered up with Carritos Solidarios, making sure to be able to provide enough food during the hard winter months. Together they place trollies at the entrance of around 70 supermarkets in Ibiza, which are accompanied by two volunteers in uniform, encouraging shoppers to leave dry food donations and sanitary items.

It is self-evident that feeding so many hungry people each week is a huge challenge. Furthermore, it is most likely that the number of people who depend on these donations will be rising. Besides their food donations, Ibiza Food Bank adds a 10€ voucher to the food pack to be spent in Spars supermarkets, which are located all around the island, making it easy for everybody to buy in a supermarket close to them. Furthermore, Ibiza Food Bank started a GoFundMe, where everybody can donate money easily, which is being used to top up the food parcels.

Camino de Santiago for Uganda Orphans

Another cause, for which we decided to raise awareness and donate money to is Peacharoo Peachey’s charity. Peacharoo is a good friend of one of our sales agents at Prestige, who started the Camino de Santiago from Valencia by himself in October to raise funds for Ugandan Orphans in rural Kabale. To finance the Camino, he sold all his belongings, as he sees this opportunity as a personal challenge and a possibility to help these kids.

Together with the local project BHHNP, his goal is to raise 70,000€ to buy land with school structures and to pay for the education of 163 orphans. All these kids have lost their parents to diseases. Some of them live with their relatives, others live in the wild, but all of them need food, love, and education. The local project’s objectives are to help the needy people and orphans in their community. It provides educational and medical services, to reduce the number of street kids and people in need. Currently, they are providing food, clothes, personal hygiene articles, and medical services.

From Prestige Properties Ibiza, we want to bring visibility to some of the charity initiatives that are organised by different associations and people of Ibiza. It is paramount we see the island as a whole and with equal opportunities for all, and where there are inequality and need, we desire to stand together to make a difference and create long-lasting improvements for the health and well-being of our local community. Especially this year, with the global impact of the pandemic, we also wanted to focus on a charity abroad.

Private Jets in times of Covid-19: Meet Global Jet

Both commercial airlines and the general travel industry have been immensely impacted across the globe due to the effects of COVID-19. However, significant trends in the private jet industry and the luxury travel sector have actually demonstrated relatively positive impressions.

COVID-19 is subsequently changing the way those with disposable incomes view and approach travel today. Previously, flying privately was considered a grand experience, perhaps even unnecessary, even for those who have the finances to grant it. But, with COVID-19, flying privately has become a valuable asset, moving away from 1st class or business commercial flights directly into fractional ownership, full ownership and jet charter travel through private aircraft.

Similarly, whilst the rest of the world has experienced a halt in the travel industry related to hotels, package deals, rentals and holiday destination accommodation, the luxury travel sector in Ibiza has followed the same trend of increase. The interest in travel both through private means of transportation, luxury holiday villas for tourism purposes, as well as those seeking to purchase a new overseas-home, in a more natural environment, away from the inconveniences of the large metropoles, has in fact grown during the health crisis.

The company Global Jet have experienced first-hand the rapid movement in the private jet sector since the pandemic and have been working behind the scenes to ensure their services are at the very top of their industry. We are happy to introduce Global Jet to you as one of our partners and share some of their services that await you.

Global Jet has begun the summer 2021 by launching a brand-new website in English. A French, Spanish, Russian and Chinese version will be shortly available as well. It has been designed with a modern and new look with more functionalities and with more interactivities.

All Global Jet services are highlighted in an intuitive way where the end-user can easily understand their philosophy, high standards and activities.

The Charter & Brokerage side of the company has been highlighted through the website and gives the users the opportunity to directly request charter quotes online. From very light, mid-size and long-range jets, right through to VIP airliners, all aircraft are listed and are available for rent. Their dedicated brokers will find precisely what you are looking for at the best price available.

Users will discover Global Jet’s touch by seeing professional photos of aircraft’s, 3D virtual tours, videos, floorplans, range maps and other new functionalities.

The Aircraft Sales & Acquisitions page will allow a better search of the aircraft thanks to the new filter functionalities (Year, Price, Manufacturer). Moreover, the Aircraft Sale Process and Aircraft Acquisition Process are highlighted in order to bring full transparency to the client.

Furthermore, Global Jet has been very active in the development and implementation of their new brand identity.

Charter & Brokerage

Global Jet’s brokers are trained to find the most competitive flight solutions to fit your needs, while putting your safety first. No matter where you are in the world, a Global Jet specialist will be on hand to offer local knowledge on everything 24/7.

In the first semester 2021, Global Jet was proud to announce the latest additions to the charter fleet, a Falcon 2000LXS (based in Madrid) and a Global Express XRS. The Global Express XRS is designed to welcome 14 passengers with optimum comfort. The private jet is divided into three large zones, offering guests a maximum level of functionalities, luxury and relaxation.

Furthermore, the second semester of 2021 is promising with already 3 new aircraft in the pipeline for commercial operation.

A new web-cloud-based aviation software (LEON) has been implemented in the Charter & Brokerage team in order to gain efficiency and to support flight operations and scheduling. This new program will enable the sales, crews and operation teams to be even more reactive towards the clients and by always finding them the best solution regarding their needs. This tool streamlines and centralizes into one process the tasks from the different departments involved in booking and executing a flight. This allows the teams to process flight requests and answer questions swiftly with a high level of accuracy. Clients will also have access to the tool to monitor the state of their flights or flight requests, avoiding the need to wait for an answer. This new software is a significant added value for the company. Moreover, Global Jet has invested heavily these past 6 months into upgrading the LEON software to its specific requirements where they also introduced new accurate route calculation features where clients will benefit from.

Aircraft Management

Today Global Jet counts more than 70 aircraft under their fleet and about 10 aircraft in the pipeline, including a BBJ, a Falcon 7X, a Challenger 300 and a brand-new Gulfstream 650ER. Global Jet’s growth doesn’t stop there, since the beginning of the year 2021, they have already entered in their fleet a Global Express XRS (also for commercial operation), a Gulfstream 550, a Global 6500 and a Global 7500.

They continue to expand and enlarge their fleet with new types of aircraft. Even though 2020 / 2021 were tough years following COVID-19, they remain solid and have shown stable growth.

Aircraft Sales & Acquisitions

The market has picked up strongly this year 2021. At least we can say that the Aircraft Sales have been successful for the company in the past few months. In terms of sales, just to mention a few, three Global 6000, a Falcon 900DX Easy, a Falcon 2000LX, an Airbus ACJ318 ELITE, a Gulfstream 450 and a Legacy 650 have been recently sold thanks to the company’s expertise and the proactive and dedicated sales team. A number of transactions continue in the sales pipeline with the aim of completing the deals before the end of the year. Following this positive and ascending phase, Global Jet has managed to achieve new aircraft sale mandates including the most recent ones – a Global 6000 and a 2020 Global 6500 off-market. Two exceptional aircraft with low hours.

Aircraft sales also launched a new look across their marketing collateral, including advertising and aircraft specifications. The main purpose of the change was to further reinforce their high level of service, innovation, professionalism and is aligned with the new website identity.

Finally, in terms of Aircraft Acquisitions, Global Jet has acquired in the past few months a Pilatus PC24, a Global 5000, a Global 6000 and a brand-new Challenger 350 with a delivery in 2022.

Design & Completion Management

Once again, Global Jet confirms its leading position in the niche market of wide body completion management projects. In December 2020, a Boeing B787 was successfully delivered. This complex project was entirely managed by Global Jet from design coordination to the completion supervision at Lufthansa Technique to the final delivery to the client.

Furthermore, to continue on this ascending phase, they have also effectively delivered a VVIP Airbus 320 in February 2021 and are planning to finalize the completion and delivery of another VVIP Boeing B787 by December 2021.

These achievements are another milestone for Global Jet!

Operations

Global Jet has recently (Autumn 2020) obtained the Aruban AOC (P4) for commercial operation. The process of obtaining this AOC was very intense and the level requested was above any standard they have previously experienced. This achievement further demonstrates their high level of performance and is another added value for their clients. Today, Global Jet already has three aircraft under the Aruban AOC including an ACJ330 VIP, ACJ319 and B737 Cargo.

Their success doesn’t stop there, Global Jet is also proud to announce the obtention of their Polar route Approval for Global Jet Aruba. In fact, they are the first and only operator in Aruba and one of the few business jet operators in the world to hold and perform polar route operations, which helps to significantly reduce flight times! This means that they can fly straight over the North Pole and therefore optimize flight plans.

Global Jet continues to expand, 2021 is filled with new and interesting projects that will be shared during the year. Stay tuned for more…

Living in Ibiza: Life in San José (Sant Josep de sa Talaia)

San José (Sant Josep de sa Talaia), located in the west of Ibiza, is renowned for its incredibly authentic and tranquil repose. Anyone looking for a prime location to buy a property, or embark on a short-term tourist visit, will be pleasantly surprised at this unique Ibicencan village.

Sant Josep (as it is called in Catalan) offers spectacular surroundings, plenty of traditional charm, a local community and family-friendly atmosphere, with vast mountain landscape views, direct access to Ibiza Town, and quick accessibility to many of the encompassing beaches of the municipality, such the renowned hotspots like Cala Jondal, Sa Caleta, Cala Molí and Cala Tarida.

The traditional village is known as the ‘capital’ of the Sant Josep de Sa Talaia municipality, which sits perfectly at the foot of Sa Talaia, the island’s highest mountain, measuring 475 meters high. The beautiful main street and adjacent cobbled alleyways are complete with a central white church, a wealth of desirable restaurants, bars and cafés, a handful of boutiques, and a local craft market held each week throughout the entire year.

Although the area has become a high attraction to many new visitors and international clients, San José village is still very much a traditional corner of Ibiza, which is perfectly knitted together with old and new.

San José (Sant Josep de sa Talaia): The Church

Every village and town in Ibiza is marked with a traditional parish church at the centre, however, the San José Church is somewhat unique when compared to other villages. The whitewashed building is of an exceptional height with a façade next to the belfry bell tower, a wide portico, a sundial, three frontal arches, and a large separate entrance to the rectory.

The church is a regular tourist attraction for those cultured visitors on the island due to its magnificent interior design and artworks. Although many of the original works of art were damaged during the Spanish civil war in 1936, restoration took place in the late 18th century, making San José Church an incredibly beautiful and interesting visit.

The church of Sant Josep is still very central to the local townspeople with regular faith gatherings and early morning ringing of the bells throughout the village, where the monumental landmark stands as a proud symbol watching over the local Ibicencan community here.

San José (Sant Josep de sa Talaia): The Culture

San José village has gracefully held on to much of its original community spirit and historical architecture and is one of the few places left on the island where time seems to have stood still. The area is notable for locals regularly scattered, sitting on café terraces, hosting daily ‘meet and greets’ as part of everyday life under the shade of the village trees. San José is widely recognised as a village where locals outnumber tourists most of the year.

However, during the height of the season, Sant Josep also has a very inviting ambience and a casual yet vibrant evening life that openly welcomes tourism into its quaint traditional setting, which is perfect for indulging in some great gastronomic eateries and enjoying some fantastic live music.

San José (Sant Josep de sa Talaia): The Amenities

There are several supermarkets, a fishmonger, a butcher, two patisseries, various banks and a pharmacy, as well as plenty of smaller independent shops and boutiques to browse around during your San José visit, including many handmade ceramics stores, local fashion, home decor and artisan souvenir shops.

For such a traditional town, Sant Josep also offers a bounty of choices for gastronomy, from up-market eateries to pizzerias and local bars where you’ll appreciate extraordinary cocktails and live music. Look out for Raco Verd Ibiza serving healthy breakfasts through to afternoons and evenings of Spanish tapas and homemade Mexican cuisine. The beautiful bar and restaurant are set in a picturesque finca farmhouse garden, offering regular live music from both local and visiting artists, from Acoustic Rock, Jazz, Blues, and Bossa Nova through to authentic Flamenco Dance Shows.

Although not directly in the town itself, Can Domingo also comes highly recommended. A garden filled with the scent of wildflowers and tables nestled amongst the canopy of mature olive and fruit trees. Can Domingo is a pleasant dining experience with a menu presenting true Italian contemporary fine dining with a touch of tradition, reflecting the abundance of high-quality local produce and the providence of the Can Domingo organic garden.

Destino is located in the center of the village with a large outdoor terrace, directly in front of the church. Its cuisine is based on small tapas bites and an original menu, that come highly recommended among the local crowds. The owner, Claudio Radke, is of German and Moroccan origin, which translates into a varied, authentic and tasty cuisine.

Restaurant Es Galliner offers a typical Ibizan menu with plenty of Spanish classic dishes. The cozy, yet no-frills family-run restaurant has been open for over 14 years and still uses Mama’s secret recipes for their desserts, including their well-known Ibizan Mint Cheesecake (the flaó). With great reviews on Tripadvisor and a popular hang-out among locals, Es Galliner is one of the most frequented restaurants in the village. From morning breakfast through until lunch and dinner, the restaurant hosts an incredibly reasonably priced menu and a wide variety of plates to choose from.

Can Jeroni Cultural Centre is the main cultural centre located close to the village town hall. Here the local community and visitors alike can enjoy a trip to the town cinema and enjoy the regular shows and numerous cultural activities on offer throughout the year. Keep an eye out for their regular updates on their cultural calendar here.

San José (Sant Josep de sa Talaia): Ecological Food and Craft Market

San José offers an inviting and atmospheric weekly market, held every Saturday, throughout the entire year promoting the local artisan and ecological products of the island.

The ‘market-meeting-place’ overspills onto the streets and offers a wide variety of local farmers’ produce, street food, handcrafted artisan gifts including traditional wicker baskets, jewelry, local organic baked goods, leather goods, children’s soft toys, typical bohemian fashion, and plenty of local art.

San José Fiesta

Each town celebrates its own patron saint day with festivities and celebrations to mark the occasion. Usually set across an entire week, a program of cultural, gastronomic and musical events is organised through different associations and the local City Council. Every year around the 19th of March, Sant Josep hosts their patron day. A spectacular festival consisting of music concerts, a Flower Power party in the church square and plenty of traditional folklore performances. There’s always plenty of markets, food stalls, children’s entertainment and regular family activities to get involved in.
