We are now a 100% carbon-neutral company at Prestige Properties Ibiza
Together with the local community and outside environmental organisations, we set the bar high regarding our Corporate and Social Responsibility (CSR).
We recognise that our everyday work impacts our environment. Because of this, we decided to take action to fight for a safer and cleaner future by becoming a carbon-neutral company.
In 2019 we partnered with an external environmental organisation to begin calculating and reducing our carbon footprint in the workplace. Our carbon footprint strategy has recently extended into an off-setting plan through reforestation with Bosquia, and we’d love to show you our journey so far.
Workplace carbon emissions and the planetary problem
Over the past century, it has been estimated that global CO2 emissions have risen from 2 billion tons (recorded in 1900) to a staggering 36.8bn tonnes. (by 2022 – International Energy Agency (IEA)).
Energy usage is a part of every company and household. CO2 emissions and energy consumption occur because of natural gas, electricity, heating, propane, servers, employee travel, and daily commuters. However, businesses and households can reduce their carbon footprint by taking simple, intentional actions. Using renewable energy sources, adjusting thermostats, making sure all plugs are turned off at the end of the day, using a laptop instead of a desktop computer, opting for hybrid vehicles, and recycling can all help.
Reducing our CO2 emissions and calculating our carbon footprint as a company
Our company has been actively working with a specialised partner program since 2019. Our partnership with Ambialia has helped us calculate and reduce our carbon footprint – setting us on a path to protect the environment, fight climate change, and help work towards the transition to a clean energy future.
As part of our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint, we have implemented the following initiatives:
The use of hybrid company cars
Using recycled paper
Shifting from quarterly to annually printed magazines
Reducing our office thermostat and using low energy eco-settings
Offering our clients the service of live video visits of properties so that they do not need to take a flight to Ibiza every time
In the latter part of 2020, we calculated our current carbon footprint. Prestige Properties Ibiza emits approximately 18 tonnes of CO2 per year.
Off-setting with Bosquia – reforestation, actions and environmental policy
As part of our carbon footprint strategy, we’ve started reforestation with Bosquia. Their social enterprise educates companies like ourselves and individuals about the importance of forests. It encourages us to make a difference by increasing our planet’s green space. By funding them, we can compensate for our carbon footprint expenditure and enable them to reforest or create new native forests on our company’s behalf.
As the most significant regulators and balancers of climate, forests favour rainfall, generate oxygen, clean the air, and serve as an essential part of our planet’s ecosystem.As a company, we were particularly drawn to Bosquia as our off-setting non-profit organisation for their passion for nature, human progress and dedication to protecting forests on the Spanish mainland.
Be part of the solution.
Based on our internal statistics and general market trends across mainland Spain and the Balearic islands, we are confident that Ibiza will remain a top destination for buying property in 2023.
Ignoring the correlation between our CO2 emissions and climate change is easy. To address the problem at hand and work towards a clean energy future, we all need to consider offsetting and funding projects such as Bosquia that work to reduce carbon emissions.
In a world where climate change is becoming an increasingly urgent issue, we strive to be a sustainability role model within our industry, working with our specialised partners in innovative ways to combat the global issues at hand.

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:
If you are still looking for a place to stay in Ibiza, our Rental team will be happy to help you. Take the stress out of planning the details of your holiday and let us make your dream vacation become a reality.

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.
Villa Stardust Santa Eulalia
What are the legal requirements for a tourist rental license in Ibiza?
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:
There must be an occupancy certificate for the property, known as the ‘Cedula de Habitabilidad’.
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.
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.
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.
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:
Licenses must be renewed every five years.
Renters must be informed in writing about the house rules and must respect them.
Renters who do not respect the regulations must vacate the property within 24 hours.
Insurance must cover potential damage the clients may do to community property.
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:
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
Plans and documents related to the property
Ownership documentation
The number of guest beds must not exceed the number of people legally allowed to occupy the property according to the certificate (cédula).
The local council issued a certificate proving that the property is located in a holiday-letting area (tourist zone).
Proof that the property meets the legal requirements for holiday rentals
Once you have paid the application fee, you will receive a preliminary rental license number.
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:

What’s on in Ibiza this Summer 2022
All of a sudden, everything got a lot more exciting! Travel vaccination passports and health tests are no longer required for entry into Spain, you do not have to wear a mask in most circumstances, dancing is finally allowed, and everyone’s smiling. Ibiza is back to being as vibrant as ever, and it feels awesome.
Last month’s International Music Summit (IMS), which provides panels for the electronic music industry gave the feeling that this year is destined to be bigger and better all around. You can literally sense it in the air, everyone is ready for Ibiza 2022, and the tourism industry is already in full bloom.
Summer 2022, Ibiza is the perfect place to be if you’re looking for a vacation with a great atmosphere and pure freedom. Besides the nightclubs opening for the first time in two years, the island also offers a variety of cultural activities, natural landscapes, and of course, some wonderful places to eat, so let’s see what Ibiza has to offer in 2022.
Ibiza nightclubs are open – get your party event calendar
Ibiza’s nightclub scene has already begun its opening season two weeks earlier than usual, with venues such as Ushuaia, Pacha, and Hï being the first to kick-off following the IMS 2022 finale. Ibiza is set to have its longest clubbing season to date, which could extend as far as November. And, of course, this year’s line-ups are looking to be of an excellent standard too!
If you want to keep on top of your Ibiza party schedule, you can take a look at the Ibiza Spotlight event calendar, which has day-by-day updates on all clubs and DJs, with ticket and VIP table information. Updates are made constantly throughout the season so be sure to keep checking in.
If you like a little party but attending large-scale clubs is too intense, then check out the latest nightclub from Las Dalias, Akasha. Open from Friday through until Sunday until 5 am, the club hosts a more relaxed atmosphere where its concept intends to generate a community spirit among the people who visit.
The classic things to do in Ibiza – things that you won’t want to miss
There is no shortage of cultural classics to experience in Ibiza and those that never go out of fashion either. The famous Las Dalias Hippy Market is always a popular island tourist attraction and home to more than 200 stalls, selling handmade clothes, jewelry, and home decor that can be enjoyed casually roaming around over drinks and freshly baked pizza or street food – all while listening to live music and local DJ’s in their tranquil psychedelic setting. Additionally, the San Juan Hippy Market is a great experience that is known to attract a more authentic crowd with locals and tourists alike flocking out into the streets to enjoy a relaxing Sunday morning.
Perhaps you prefer to stay away from the crowds and be out on the open waters enjoying mother nature at her finest. Well, in every case a day out at sea will never disappoint. There are a number of experienced boat charter companies based in Ibiza, from where you can create your own day trips, using a qualified and knowledgeable skipper, and set sail to explore all the hidden beaches, coves, and unique spots the island has to offer. There is no doubt in our minds that it is worth considering planning a trip to Tagomago and Formentera, two of our favourite neighbouring islands. We recommend checking out our collaborator Say Yachting, a low-emission boat and yacht charter company on the island that supports our ethos for sustainability.
The top recommended dining experiences in Ibiza
The majority of vacationers in Ibiza enjoy luxurious and relaxing Mediterranean evenings with great food and a few nights out to let their hair down. With elegant sea and sunset views, open-air rooftop terraces, and some excellent concept cuisine, there is no shortage of incredibly stylish restaurants to choose from.
Besides the usual favourites like Amante, Bambuddha, and Cotton Beach Club, Ibiza has seen an influx of some great new restaurants and bars opening in a variety of locations around the island.
Under Michelin Star (12) Chef, Martin Berasategui the BLESS Hotel takes guests on a gastronomic journey at the new Etxeko Ibiza. The ultimate dining experience that celebrates the joys of dining, the ancient flavours of San Sebastián, and the most sublime products of the Cantabrian Sea and the Mediterranean.
LayLah Ibiza is a restaurant and lounge bar, combining food, music, heart and soul, where globally inspired flavours are showcased through a menu of sharing plates featuring dishes such as roasted cauliflower with tahini & green chilli, fresh grilled artichokes with Parmesan, spiced chicken crispy cigars, and white fish skewer with ginger & lime salsa.
Last but not least, we recommend Boodiou Ibiza, a cocktail bar and French restaurant in the heart of Ibiza Town, serving fine dining and enriched sharing plates of French cuisine. Artfully decorated with contemporary pieces and decorations, this small boutique restaurant will not disappoint.
If you are looking for a getaway that will offer you more than you can imagine, we highly recommend taking into account having your own holiday rental villa, where you can spend the long summer days in complete style.
If you want a relaxing vacation with your family and friends in a comfortable and spacious setting, a villa rental is an ideal choice, especially if you want privacy and the freedom to escape the crowds, while maintaining easy access to all the island’s wonderful activities.
Keep yourself in the loop with our travel COVID-19 updates
We are so happy to announce that masks for COVID-19 are required only at health-care facilities, such as hospitals, for workers, visitors, and patients, and on public transportation, such as by air, bus, or boat, where a distance of 1.5 meters cannot be maintained.
The use of masks is still recommended for those who have been exposed to COVID-19 in situations where prolonged contact less than 1.5 meters away may occur, as well as during mass events and celebrations where the participants may be vulnerable.
As it currently stands Spain has no travel entry requirements such as vaccination passports or mandatory health tests. A passenger locator form is still applicable for all tourists entering the Balearic Islands.

Why is Ibiza a great place to buy a property for investment?
In general, buying property has always been a reliable investment. Of course, it does involve numerous factors and variables. But, one thing is for sure, you’ll certainly have a better chance of getting a decent return if you buy a property in a location that’s highly valuable and sought-after.
Ibiza has been a safe choice for property investment for quite some time now, mostly because of its idyllic location and its ongoing high demand for properties. Whether you are looking to buy a second home, a villa for tourism rental purposes, or you are interested in your own renovation or an early project phase property – as the current market stands, purchasing a home in Ibiza will make for a secure future return of investment.
Read on to find out why we are optimistic about the real estate property market in Ibiza, and what investment opportunities are available here.
Why invest in a property in Ibiza – the general property market
Over the past decade, both sales and house prices have shown continual and stable growth across the Balearic Islands. It was not until late 2019 and into early 2020 that house prices and sales started to fall for the very first time since the start of the financial crisis in 2007. This suggested the beginning of a minor stagnation that later increased due to the circumstances of COVID-19.
However, from early 2020 through to the end of 2021 we saw buyer activity quickly thrive again, with property sales continuing to rise across the whole of the Balearics. It was more than evident in Ibiza, as you can see from our end-of-year property market report 2021 that a surge of numbers and growth in the second-home international real estate market was occurring. People’s priorities were changing due to COVID-19, and living among beauty and nature, away from the big cities became increasingly more appealing. The high-end property market in Ibiza continues to be a magnet for second-home buyers. After the initial sales spike of 2021, things have marginally slowed down as the post-pandemic effect has worn off, but the fact remains that demand for properties still continues to far exceed the number of sellers on the market, thus resulting in a strong and unwavering price curve.

Buying a Property in Ibiza with a Touristic Rental License
In Ibiza, there are many people who wish to buy a villa to rent out for tourism purposes. Despite this, it is not as simple as many would believe. Not every property in Ibiza can legally be rented out to tourists for short-term holidays. Those who wish to proceed with renting their property will need a final tourist license. And, any application for a tourist license must satisfy a strong set of requirements. For more information on obtaining a rental license in Ibiza including the current legal requirements and the application process, see the article on Tourist Rentals in 2021 by Ibicasa.
Finding a property to buy in Ibiza with a current tourist license is more than ideal. You will already have all the application processes complete and the legal certificate in place, and, what’s more, there are likely to be existing regular tourism customers who are ready to come back to this same property and book their holidays year after year. This is alongside the possibility of already having a professional property agent and management team in place who are doing a great job.
If you’re keen to find a great property with a rental license then check out this tastefully renovated and upgraded 4-bedroom house, located in a very peaceful and secluded area. Casa Sunny Vadella is perfectly located within walking distance of the local beach, Cala Vadella – which is known for its child-friendly atmosphere and a wide range of pleasant beach restaurants. This property has already been certified with a final rental license which makes it a top investment.
Alternatively, Penthouse Olea Cala Llonga is another great tourist license property that offers an attractive investment opportunity in Ibiza. Within steps of the beautiful beach and local resort of Cala Llonga, this penthouse apartment is the most sought-after property within the apartment complex due to its large and spacious floor plan and ideal orientation within the complex. It’s the only apartment with three terraces, two on the main floor and one on the rooftop. This property comes fully furnished and with a management company that looks after the rentals and regular bookings. An excellent investment opportunity.
Buying an authentic property in Ibiza for a renovation project
It is becoming more and more difficult to find older, authentic properties now in Ibiza that can be renovated and re-sold with good returns on investment. A few years back, this was a great option with many more properties readily available. Now, it is becoming harder to find this type of property with the potential to create a modern boutique-style home and gain a decent return. But, of course, it is still possible if you employ the support and expertise of a good estate agent who knows the market well and can advise the right construction teams to employ for such projects.
Cas Figueroa is an outstanding traditional Ibizan Finca with two guest apartments. The perfect property investment opportunity for a renovation that has the potential to a beautiful modern-authentic style home. Located between San Rafael and Ibiza Town, surrounded by beautiful countryside, with a 60 m2 pool, this quaint setting is a wonderful opportunity for a renovation property project.
Buying a Property in Ibiza during ‘off-plan’ or during the ‘project phase’
There is also the option of purchasing a property off-plan or when the project is still in the development phase, where you then would continue to build the home yourself. If you have time, patience, and passion on your side, there is a good chance that you can save quite a bit of money too, making for a great investment opportunity. Further, this kind of property can also be resold with a bit of a profit margin, or leased on a long-term basis, excluding short-term holiday rentals. As we previously mentioned, obtaining a tourism license encounters a strong set of requirements, and new build properties must wait 5 years before they can apply for tourist rental licenses, and it can still prove challenging even after that.
Casa Con Proyecto Portinatx is a two-house property with a project license, located in Portinatx, at the northern point of the island, on the second line of the beach. Located on a plot of 1.000m2 with a permit approved in January 2020, the property can be expanded and modified to a total of 399 m2. The project takes into account all the conveniences of modern living and places a living room, kitchen, pantry, and laundry on the ground level. There is also a basement and a garage. There is space outside to build a swimming pool and chill-out area, so all in all, this is a great investment opportunity for anyone looking to start their own building project.
Ibiza in general is a very good market to invest in, being stable and safe, especially for long-term investment and ongoing increase in property value. There are often some really great investment opportunities here. But as the demand is almost always higher than the supply if the perfect investment property is not already on the market, then actively registering yourself with the right agent as early as possible comes highly recommended. This way, as soon as the right investment opportunity property becomes available that is suited to your personal requirements, you’re ready to get the process started as soon as possible.

On arrival, you will feel immediately assured that you have entered an exclusive Ibiza home, where every single detail has been meticulously crafted, in line with 5-star accommodation standards. This completely renovated villa combines modern interior design with a sober mix of ethnic touches throughout. Living spaces are bright and spacious woven with clean organic and neutral colours.

With its floor-to-ceiling french patio doors and windows, the house offers a pleasant indoor/outdoor experience, with direct access to the large swimming pool and gardens from almost any room. In spite of its open-plan nature, Can Rocas has been thoughtfully designed with separate zones for quiet time and individual space. And that’s just the beginning.
Can Rocas: Five Bedroom Ibiza Rental Property with Elegant En-Suite Bathrooms
Each of the five bedrooms, which are designed in the same style as the main body of the house, has its own elegance and sophistication. The en-suite bathrooms in each bedroom have either a high-end bathtub or shower, and you may be left wondering whether the features of the en-suites rival the main aspects of the rooms themselves. It’s hard to deny that the Master Bedroom’s freestanding bathtub, located directly at the foot of the King-size bed andoverlooking the garden, is one of the most attractive features of the house.
Can Rocas: An Ibiza Holiday Rental with Large Lush Mediterranean Gardens & an Elegant Swimming Pool
Why would you book a holiday to Ibiza if not for the hot summer weather in the Mediterranean? And, for you to make the most of the great weather, you need to book a villa in Ibiza with large surrounding gardens, a big swimming pool, lots of chill-outs, and outdoor dining spaces. Well, Can Rocas ticks all these boxes and much more.
You will certainly enjoy plenty of privacy and tranquillity on the grounds of Can Rocas. The garden itself is dotted with inspirational sculptures, including a large Buddha, an apple, and a stylish set of DJ headphones. In fact, there is something sensational about all its various features from the well-maintained lush lawns, tropical palm trees, pine trees, and the long, narrow pool that runs the length of the villa. Of course, there are also plenty of cushioned sun loungers, a relaxing hammock, and a large comfortable sofa chill-out zone, perfect for events. Similarly, the outdoor dining area boasts a solid wood-oak banquet table fully covered by a terrace canopy for all those wonderful outdoor dining occasions. A central courtyard with a feature olive tree is also noteworthy, which gathers the main bedrooms together, all opening through their sliding french doors offering direct access to an outside shaded chill-out space.
Can Rocas: A Perfectly Located Rental Villa Close to Ibiza Town, San José and all the Top Beaches of the South

What to expect for the season of 2021 – Ibiza Travel News Update
Our rentals team at Prestige Properties Ibiza has seen a positive flow and strong enthusiasm for travel this upcoming 2021 season, with many keen clients determined to get their well-deserved summer holidays secured this year – finally!
However, pursuing a dream 2021 vacation still comes with a little apprehension. Naturally, everyone is curious to know what ‘expectations’ they should encounter over the coming months.
So, we’ve put together a little ‘Season 2021’ blog for everybody wishing to travel to Ibiza, with plenty of linked information at your disposal. We want everyone to feel confident that Ibiza hosts many pleasurable lifestyle and travel opportunities, and help you make the most of your 2021 travel.
What do I need to be able to Travel to Ibiza
With most European travel borders now already open, (with the remaining reopening in the coming weeks – the UK particularly has recently announced set plans to allow travel to the Baleares once again, classifying it as a safe holiday destination, with no need to quarantine upon return) we are confidently expecting to see a promising influx of tourism.
Travelling to Ibiza is possible for tourism with a negative PCR test, filling out a simple health form with a QR code on arrival and, naturally, respecting any safety measures and regulations in place.
What are the current COVID-19 measurements and restrictions in Ibiza
Ibiza has been incredibly efficient over the past year, and particularly cautious over the winter season to ensure the health and well-being of everyone. Our restrictions and measurements are regularly reviewed, in which we are currently seeing further de-escalation month after month. You can stay updated with our Covid-19 2021 News here.
The general expectation is that we will see a season similar to that of 2020, whereby everyone is welcome and able to enjoy their holidays with the freedom to move around and experience everything on offer.
All outdoor activities and social events, such as relaxing on beaches, swimming, sporting activities, visiting landmarks, shopping, local markets and hippy markets, and enjoying the restaurants and bars (including the beach clubs) are available, with many seasonal venues already open.
The only main difference compared to pre-Covid-19 seasons, has so far been the closure of our nightclubs and large-scale overcrowded venues, including some hotel events. However, recently the government announced that the summer could hold potentially good news regarding re-opening our world-famous nightclubs. Measurements are expected to be in place, but the overall aim is to have the clubs open with the provision of health passports, declaring full vaccinations as a requirement for entry by July.
What’s on in Ibiza 2021
Many of our visitors from the 2020 season offered great feedback from their last summer vacation. It became quite apparent visitors took more time to explore the great outdoors, developed a special interest in culinary experiences and daytime venues, enjoyed the luxury of private boat days with their friends, simply relaxed, or adventured those less travelled paths, discovering the island’s hidden gems.
You can take a look at our Winter in Ibiza – Nature & Leisure Activities and Cultural Activities and Festivities blog to discover in detail our island’s hotspots, outdoor activities, and experiences, which are of course available all year round. Here you will find everything you need to create a fun and memorable holiday itinerary from vintage hippy cars, regular artisan markets, museums, watersports, and everything in between.
During May and June Ibiza has planned to host some great extracurricular activities that can be enjoyed by all. The Balearic Triathlon Federation and Ibiza Blue Challenge are organising the Balearic Duathlon Cross Championship 2021, which is currently open to all competitors internationally. The challenge will be held on Sunday, May 9 at 10:00 in the Can Truy circuits of the town of Santa Eulària, and includes a 3km race, 10km Mountain Bike Race, and a further 1.5km race. To find out more and to register, go to the Sports Maniac Balearic Championship DUATHLÓN CROSS website.
From May 7th until 9th our annual Medieval Ibiza Fair is due to return with the focus on outdoor shows running over three days, including theater, medieval music, shows, dance, storytelling, and guided tours of Dalt Vila. All the shows are held in the Reina Sofía Park, and proceeds go to the Red Cross.
During June, many of our small local villages come alive with wonderful annual festivities and daytime markets. Our regular San Juan hippy market has recently returned every Sunday and is bustling with life and vitality, giving a true reflection of the local Ibizan spirit. A fun-filled day of live music, street food, and market stalls with local farmers’ produce, handcrafted artisan gifts, jewelry, healing crystals, Hierbas liqueurs, organic bread, coffee, leather goods, typical bohemian fashion, and plenty of local art.
St. John’s Festivities (Festes de Sant Joan / Fiestas de San Juan), which is the annual village celebration of San Juan village is also due to be held on June 23rd, attracting many visitors to celebrate the famous Flower Power party, and an evening of firecrackers and jumping through bonfires. As our usual Medieval Ibiza Fair is running, we expect this wonderful event will equally take place this year as usual.
The Social Scene in Ibiza 2021
The music scene has very much transferred into many great ‘daytime venue parties’. Everything requires a reservation, seated dining, and full table service, but you will be surprised at the up-market and relaxed atmosphere on offer, as some of the island’s DJs have taken on a slightly different element to their career.
Look out for Las Dalias Hippy Market over the weekends for a family-friendly day out. The vibe is as it always was, flowing freely with the authentic Ibiza spirit, and the food is pretty good too!
Alma Eat is Life has also been recognised for its regular live DJ event, "Life is better at the Beach", with a special bespoke BBQ service with quality cuts of meat and inclusive wine. The venue event often features the island famous DJ Andy Baxter and internationally renowned Ida Engberg.
Pikes Hotel is now offering a Brand New Food Concept of a regular brunch with the island’s famous Foodie Influencer – Love Food Ibiza. "Love Food Ibiza at Pikes is a menu designed from Tess’ worldwide culinary experiences, to cover all tastes and food desires. The dishes are predominantly ‘contemporary eclectic’ with Ayurvedic and macrobiotic influence. And, if you are looking for that DJ daytime set, then save for a visit for Sunday’s by the pool, sipping cocktails in the sun, and divulging into the world famous Pikes Sunday Roast as the sublime soundtrack soothes your soul.
For the majority, a vacation means the luxury and enjoyment of Mediterranean evenings with a little al fresco dining of great food and great wine with a little added ‘let your hair down’ late-night events.
Whilst our restaurants are open, curfews are still in place, and venues are allowed outside for seated dining on their terrace spaces until 22.00hs in most cases, with a home curfew at 23.00hs.
Exclusive Private Villa Event Opportunities
For those who wish to stay away from the cosmopolitan scene, or even for those who would prefer to keep the night young, then many private and ultra-exclusive catering teams and private chefs are available.
Intimate home dinner parties with live DJs, music, entertainment, spectacular personalised projection shows, great food, personal cocktail mixologists, and kid’s entertainment are just to mention a few of the innovative requests received across the island to create dream holidays.

Holiday villas with the 5 best sunsets in Ibiza
Why is Ibiza one of the most famous holiday destinations in Europe?
Sunset, dusk, twilight… are some of the names we give to an event as ephemeral as the sunset.
Sunsets mark very significant moments in our lives: ‘the afternoon when we fell in love; the long summer days with our family; the magic of a sunset to the sound of drums; that dinner of friends that began with a burning red sky’… moments in which we feel very lucky and grateful.
But if there is one place in the world where you can enjoy this natural wonder, it is Ibiza, with almost 275km of coastline, 300 days of sunshine a year and a peaceful and happy rhythm of life.
In this blog we want to share with you five of the most special places where you can enjoy an unforgettable sunset. Besides, we have thought about you because in each of them you will find a selection of our fabulous holiday villas.
The Prestige Team has participated in the vote to draw up the ranking that we present to you below.
Nº 5 San Antonio, Ibiza
The Paseo de San Antonio is one of the most fun and unique places on the island. It offers the possibility of water activities such as jet-skiing, jet-boating, flyboarding or parasailing, during sunset. Yes, believe it, because here you can be 50 meters high and be the king of the world! This spot is also very famous for its music and good atmosphere, this is where Café del Mar was born, a real symbol in Ibiza.
Less than 15 minutes away are two of our holiday villas, with swimming pool and fantastic views: Casa Sandra and Can Trillo.
Nº 4 Cala Benirrás, Ibiza
If you are lucky enough to be in Ibiza on a Sunday, you cannot leave without visiting Cala de Benirrás, where the authentic essence of the 70’s comes alive for a few hours and fills the sunset with music and percussion. A hundred people play their drums bidding farewell to the sun, while a large crowd dances and gets carried away by the good vibes and the hippie spirit. Some of the most impressive vacation villas in our catalog are in this area: S’Ermita, Can Quince, Can Rio and Can Pep de sa Guaita.
Nº 3 Sa Caleta, Ibiza
What if you want to make the sunset even more special? All you need for this is a sailboat! Cruising the waters offshore caressed by the sea breeze and feeling so close to the sun that you can almost touch it, this experience is one of the most romantic we can recommend. There are different companies that offer a wide range of boats and rentals adapted to your needs. We can help you, if you dream of living a unique sunset. But in addition, we have a selection of villas for rent located a few meters from the sea, so you can simulate the sensation of sailing: Can Cristina and Can Oasi.
Nº 2 Cala Conta, Ibiza
They say Cala Conta is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Here we give you the reasons: crystalline waters, fine, almost white sand and incredible views; they make it an earthly paradise. We highlight the gastronomy of the area, the Bullit de Peix and the paella are the star dishes. At the Sunset Ahsram beach bar, you can drink a cava sangria while you celebrate the sunset with music and good atmosphere.
We recommend some of our holiday villas, located very close to this famous destination: Can Liband Can Masia, ask us about them.
Nº1 Es Vedrá, Ibiza
And at number 1 is the islet of Es Vedrá, a magical enclave located in the southwest of Ibiza. Although you are not allowed to climb this mystical rock, which is almost 400 metres high (because it has been part of the Nature Reserve since 2002 due to its high ecological value), we recommend you climb the Es Savinar Tower, commonly known as the Pirate’s Tower, and enjoy the unbeatable views! Some of our most charming villas are just a few minutes away: Can Pelat.
