    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.

    Roca Llisa’s private housing urbanisation in Santa Eulalia is home to the island’s only golf course.

The perfect way to explore the island out at sea!


    Cultural and social activities in the springtime, Ibiza


    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.

      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.

        How to Obtain a Tourist Rental License in Ibiza

        If you want to invest in a property in Ibiza for tourism rental purposes, you must carefully carry out thorough research and plan. It is essential to take caution – as you will see, obtaining a tourist rental license is not easy. 

        In 2012, a new law was passed, the ‘Ley de Arrendamientos Urbanos’, or LAU (Urban Leases Act). Under this law, short-term holiday rentals were allowed as long as you met the standard requirements. However, later in the summer of 2017, the law changed significantly and getting a permit got a lot tougher. Nowadays, many properties in Ibiza are not eligible for tourist rental licenses. 

        To help you, we have created a short guide that provides all of the information you need to obtain a tourist rental license in Ibiza. However, seeking legal advice comes highly recommended as laws and regulations are constantly changing. Ensuring everything is correct and legal can save you hefty fines and unwanted situations.


        Is my property eligible for a tourist rental license in Ibiza?

        If you’re renting your place for less than a month, you need a tourist rental license. Ibiza’s tourist rental licenses tend to be for detached houses. However, it doesn’t mean all detached houses will get a tourist license. All requirements must be met, no matter what. 

        If you want to buy an apartment to rent out for holidays, you should be aware that a tourist licence may not be accepted. Licenses were not previously allowed in shared buildings (therefore apartments), and even though this regulation has now changed and apartments are now theoretically permitted, in reality, they must first be approved by the local authorities’ board.


        Ibiza has a set of minimum requirements that properties must meet to receive a tourist licence.  The following list outlines the main requirements, although there are other factors to consider related to any given property:

        1. There must be an occupancy certificate for the property, known as the ‘Cedula de Habitabilidad’.
        2. Residents’ quality of life is the primary concern. The property must be located within a "tourist zone". These zones are based on environmental data, population statistics, and planning criteria without compromising an area’s management capabilities or resources.
        3. When a previous sanction for a severe breach of a holiday rental licensing law exists, a home cannot be rented for vacations. Naturally, once the sanction is fulfilled and the property’s legality is restored, the property may again be considered for vacation rentals. Therefore, when looking for a tourist license, you should request a ‘certificado de inexistencia de infraccion urbanistica’’ to ensure no sanction exists.
        4. Before the house can obtain a touristic license, it must be at least five years old, and during those five years, it must have been used as a private residence.
        5. The property must also possess an energy certificate. Specifically, the construction of a house must meet the F rating for buildings constructed before 31/12/2007 and the D rating for buildings built after that date.

        Rental licenses are now available for apartments, but only if the board of owners approves. Additionally:

        1. Licenses must be renewed every five years.
        2. Renters must be informed in writing about the house rules and must respect them.
        3. Renters who do not respect the regulations must vacate the property within 24 hours.
        4. Insurance must cover potential damage the clients may do to community property.
        5. The community must have a 24-hour service number.

        How do I apply for a tourist rental license to rent my property in Ibiza?

        To obtain a tourist license from the local council, applicants must submit the following documents: 

        1. A "responsible declaration" ("Declaración Responsable de Inicio de Actividad de comercialización de estancias Turísticas en viviendas") which meet the criteria for tourist rentals in Ibiza
        2. Plans and documents related to the property
        3. Ownership documentation
        4. The number of guest beds must not exceed the number of people legally allowed to occupy the property according to the certificate (cédula).
        5. The local council issued a certificate proving that the property is located in a holiday-letting area (tourist zone).
        6. Proof that the property meets the legal requirements for holiday rentals
        7. Once you have paid the application fee, you will receive a preliminary rental license number.

        For more detailed information and to proceed with obtaining a rental licence, please visit Bufete Frau Legal Service and Specialist for Real Estate Law for more information, legal advice and support with filing your application.


        How long will I need to wait before I can start renting my property in Ibiza?

        Upon submitting your tourist rental license application, you confirm that your property meets all the required criteria. Once you have applied, you will receive a preliminary rental license number and you can immediately begin renting out the property. An inspector will carry out all the relevant checks at a later date. After this, if there are any inaccuracies, omissions, or falsifications in the application statement, the registration will be cancelled, and holiday rental activity will be suspended immediately. Once a rental license number (whether preliminary or final) has been allocated, it must be used for advertising on portals like Airbnb so that guests and authorities can check whether a holiday rental is legal.

        IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Since February 2022 there is a 4-year moratorium on the "creation of new tourist beds" which effectively means a hold on all applications of new rental licences in the Balearics. This means that while you are free to submit the paperwork and fees, they will not be processed for (at least) the next 4 years and no preliminary numbers will be issued. You can read more on this subject in the following article:
        Balearic Tourism Law: Moratorium of up to four years to build new tourist accommodation in the Balearic Islands (diariodemallorca.es)


        What happens if my new property or villa in Ibiza already has a rental license or application at the point of purchase?

        Those who wish to purchase a property with a current tourist license need not worry about reapplying. However, you should still check everything thoroughly. Approved licenses will always have an ETV certificate (Estancia Turistica en Viviendas). 


        What costs are involved when obtaining a tourism rental license in Ibiza?

        The price for a rental permit is currently €600 for the application plus the following per bed:

        One bed: €4.300,00
        2 beds: €8.643,00
        3 beds: €13.029,40
        4 beds: €17.459,70
        5 beds: €21.934,30
        6 beds: €26.453,70
        7 beds: €31.018,20
        8 beds: €35.628,40
        9 beds: €40.284,70
        10 beds: €44.987,50
        11 beds: €49.737,40
        12 beds: €54.534,80
