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.


Social responsibility, community Initiatives and going green campaign Ibiza

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:

  1. Reducing Co2 Emissions through Calculation, Reduction & Recycling
  2. Donating a portion of every sale and rental commission to IbizaPreservation
  3. Regular Contributions to Local Charities Focusing on Social Equality
  4. Supporting Local Sports and Youth Clubs via our UD Ibiza Sponsorship and others
  5. 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.

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.

    2022 was the year for our ‘Going Green Debris Campaign’ at Prestige Properties Ibiza: Campaña Escombro

    Our love for Ibiza knows no bounds. But, our love must exceed mere pleasure and enjoyment. Our commitment to the environment and love for the island has led to the rise of our GOING GREEN campaign, which we are very passionate about and strive to maintain.

    Our role as a responsible company involves reducing our carbon footprint, participating in regular beach clean-ups, educating homeowners about energy efficiency, and supporting IbizaPreservation. In addition, it is a great honour and pleasure to announce that in 2022 we launched our brand-new initiative on the island – the first of its kind!

    Our campaign, ‘Campaña Escombro’, has been developed in collaboration with Novaforma construction company to clean up illegal construction dumping on the island.

    Read on to find out how to get involved, be part of the solution, and make a difference in keeping mother nature as she deserves.


    Before | After

    What is the ‘Campaña Escombro’ campaign?

    Campaña Escombro aims to contribute to the solution of the problems caused by, the renovation of old properties, the influx of ongoing construction projects, and the explosion in tourism. We believe it was a logical step in the right direction for us to keep the illegal dumping of construction waste at bay and do our bit to try and preserve the island’s pristine natural beauty 

    Many of us have walked through the picturesque countryside only to be confronted with a pile of construction debris and rubbish waste materials. Together with Novaforma Constructions and Services Ibiza, we have introduced a process to clean-up some of these illegal dumping sites.

    Anyone who sees one of these sites can report it to Prestige Properties Ibiza by contacting us with a photo and location pin. We will then work to remove the rubbish and separate it for proper disposal, with all costs covered and donated internally between the two companies. 

    To preserve Ibiza’s natural beauty, 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". 


    The scope of the problem: illegal dumping of construction materials in Ibiza

    Unfortunately, the island has yet to have official statistics surrounding the illegal dumping of reconstruction waste materials.  In addition, no action has been taken to prevent or clean up construction debris dumped in nature. 

    As well as being an eyesore, illegal dumping has severe impacts on wildlife and habitat. Chemicals and non-biodegradable materials contaminate groundwater and soil in the waste. It is also possible for domesticated animals and wildlife to die after consuming poisonous materials.

    We need you to help us collect illegal dumping of construction waste in Ibiza.

    Although it is still necessary to overcome bureaucratic obstacles (since we must move onto private land with permission), Prestige Properties Ibiza, alongside Novaforma, will collect construction waste from areas we are informed about by you, our fellow islanders.

    Our first rubble heap was cleared near Cala Llenya in September. Along with Novaforma employees, we disposed of 9.5 tonnes of rubble. There is now a return to the natural state of the landscape, which is the most beautiful and rewarding experience.

    People and families in Ibiza can benefit from social responsibility. Whether we donate to charitable causes, support environmental changes, or consider programs that help people from developing countries, our social responsibility as a community can make a difference in the lives, health, and environment of others. 

    Our goal is to change the future outcome for our local communities and the planet in the years to come by taking one small step at a time.

    We believe in Giving Back!

    We believe in Going Green!

    We welcome you to join us in this pursuit!

      Top investment opportunities and villas in San José, Ibiza

      Whether you wish to call Ibiza your home or are interested in purchasing an exclusive property for investment purposes, you can rely on us, the island’s leading real estate agency, Prestige Properties Ibiza.

      Our portfolio inspires buyers with luxury, modern architecture and interiors, stunning swimming pools, exclusive sea and countryside views, penthouse apartments, and plenty of investment opportunities.

      This month’s blog will introduce you to a range of villas available in San José. San José (Sant Josep de sa Talaia), located in the south-west of Ibiza, is known for its natural beauty and international community of residents. Those interested in purchasing a home here will be pleasantly surprised – an ideal location for investing in a perfect ‘opportunity’ property.

      We invite you to look at our top three picks that might be just what you are looking for…



      Top investment properties in San José, Ibiza


      Villa Elegant San Agustin

      In addition to its privileged location, Villa Elegant San Agustin boasts an elegant contemporary design with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. This villa is located near some of the island’s most famous beaches, near San Agustin, within walking distance of the charming village of San José – and comes complete with a final tourist rental licence, which makes it an ideal investment property.

      This quiet residential community home features a master suite with an en-suite bathroom (with two sinks and a bathtub), three other bedrooms with twin beds, and two bathrooms, one of which is en-suite; the other two belong to the family bathroom.

      This home’s spacious open-plan living and dining room extends outside to a lovely covered terrace with garden and swimming pool views – perfect for al fresco dining and relaxing on sunny island days. The superior house features a minimalist design with pure white walls adorned with rich organic materials, reflecting and complementing its natural surroundings.

      On the rooftop terrace, two wraparound sofas, coffee tables and polished floors overlook the inviting swimming pool below. Exotic palms and mature trees also shade a sumptuously furnished sun terrace. In addition to breathtaking hills and green countryside views, this upper level also offers a glimpse of Ibiza’s legendary western sunsets.

      Ibiza tourist rental licences are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. Laws have become stricter, and processes can take a long time. It is often considered a golden opportunity to find a property that has already been licensed and is ready to rent out. You can read more on obtaining a tourist license in Ibiza here.


      Villa Campo Cala Conta

      This property is ideal for investors or people looking to live in Ibiza all year round since it offers the possibility to add their own touch to the property, especially since it has all the paperwork in order, and obtaining a license to renovate will not be difficult for this property.

      Located near amenities and with distant sea views, Villa Campo Cala Conta is a charming 4-bedroom villa near Cala Tarida and Cala Conta beaches. There is a living room and dining area overlooking the swimming pool on the ground floor, a kitchen with a separate entrance, and 2 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. The third bedroom with an ensuite bathroom can be found in the annexe, only a few metres from the main house’s entrance.

      A fourth bedroom is located on the upper floor of this property, complete with an ensuite bathroom and access to its own private terrace, which provides distant sea views on a clear day. 

      Outside is a 60m2 swimming pool and superb gardens with mature plants.

      In addition, there is further access to a large rooftop terrace with beautiful views towards Cala Conta and San Antonio, which offers fabulous sunsets in summer.

      Lastly, in the basement, under the terrace, we have a garage and ample space to use as additional storage. Don’t miss this opportunity to purchase a home where everything is in place to obtain all necessary licences without a headache, a rarity in Ibiza. 


      Proyecto con Licencia San Agustin

      Proyecto con Licencia San Agustin has recently received planning permission for a rustic Mediterranean-style detached house with a private swimming pool. This 15.153 m2 plot is located in a quiet residential area in the west of Ibiza; just a few minutes’ walk from the beach and restaurants.

      The house is divided into two floors and an additional basement. Three double bedrooms and three bathrooms are on the first floor, along with a separate kitchen and dining area. A central courtyard faces south and is the centre of life in the house, which can serve as extra living space, combining indoors and outdoors during summer. There are many outdoor terraces, some with pergolas or solid roofs, plus a 24 m2 swimming pool. On the upper floor is the master bedroom, with a dressing room, private bathroom with bathtub and private terrace.

      The construction project is ideally suited to those who want to determine their own style and quality requirements from the outset, which can serve as a holiday home and a house for year-round use.

      When you buy a project with a building licence, you can define all finishes precisely to your liking. By having a licence ready, you don’t have to wait the usual 2 years + until you get one authorised, meaning construction can start immediately. With this particular house, after the investment in construction, you will have a finished house that costs ca. 2.100.000 € which is likely to sell for around 2.800.000€ (with the right finishes) if placed straight back on the market – so it’s an excellent investment opportunity all around.


      Buying a property in Ibiza

      When the right investment opportunity property that suits your requirements becomes available, you’re ready to start the process as quickly as possible. There are often some great investment opportunities here. But as the demand is almost always higher than the supply, if the perfect investment property still needs to be added to the market, then actively registering yourself with the right agent as early as possible comes highly recommended.

        Everything you need to know about relocating to Ibiza (Spain) post Brexit

        Many of our UK clients who wish to buy property in Ibiza often have questions about the island’s logistics and how to invest for long-term relocation. Therefore, it would be worth writing this short article to provide you, as a UK citizen, with everything you need to know about buying a property and moving to Ibiza post-Brexit

        Read on to find out more information on relocating and living in Ibiza, including guidance on residency, working, and buying your dream home on the magical white island.


        Residency for living in Ibiza after Brexit

        As of January 1, 2021, UK citizens are subject to the same Spanish immigration rules as residents of non-EU countries, such as Russia, China, and the United States. Therefore, UK citizens who wish to live permanently or for an extended period in Spain must maintain legal residency status or a long-term visa. 


        A foreigner identity card, known as Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (TIE), must be obtained upon arrival to Spain, the Balearics, and Ibiza whilst completing a full residence or visa application. Your residency and TIE can be applied from the UK, but as you can imagine, this is a slightly more complex process. You can find out more about the residency application process in our final chapters below.


        Visas for UK expats living in Ibiza, Spain

        The Spanish government also offers several visas that allow longer stays in the country. Two of the most common visa types include:

        • The Non-Lucrative Visa
        • The Golden Visa 

        The Non-Lucrative Visa allows stays longer than three months for retirees or those who do not need to or wish to work in Spain. Applicants must show a bank balance of €34,000 for at least six months and a valid private healthcare plan. The visa is valid for one year and can be renewed for two more years.

        Investors spending a minimum of €500,000 on a property are eligible for the Golden Visa program. The Golden Visa allows holders and their families to live in Spain and can become a permanent resident after five years or a Spanish citizens after ten years from the date the visa has been granted.

        Working in Ibiza for UK citizens

        Any non-European citizen who wishes to live and work in Spain for an extended period beyond the 90-day tourist visa must apply for residency or a work permit. By maintaining your residence in Spain, you will be able to take advantage of all the benefits of working here should you decide to do so on a permanent or extended basis. 

        As the Spanish government is welcoming new entrepreneurs into its country, if you have a solid business project you would like to set up in Spain, that could be a great way to qualify for a residency in the country. Recently, the Spanish government approved the first draft of a law with several immigration and tax advantages for startups and digital nomad visas. This law aims to promote the ecosystem by attracting emerging companies, talent and capital to develop innovative entrepreneurial activities in Spain.

        Buying a property in Ibiza Spain post Brexit

        There have been very few changes to buying a home in Spain, the Balearics, or Ibiza since Brexit. However, UK citizen rights have changed slightly.

        Currently, the main difference depends on whether you are a non-EU resident living in Spain or visiting it. Should you wish to relocate permanently, there are routes for you to become a full-time resident or gain a visa, making it easier for you to purchase a home.

        For a more detailed guide on buying a property post-Brexit, check out our most frequently asked questions here.

        Thanks to its stability and safety, Ibiza is an excellent market, especially for long-term investments. Check out our end-of-year property market report 2021 for a more detailed analysis or take a look at our easy-to-read blog – Is 2022 a Good Time to Buy a Property in Ibiza?

        Any person who purchases, sells, or owns a property in Spain must know the applicable property taxes, regardless of whether they are residents or non-residents. Your title will also be added to the property’s register by a notary. Depending on the number of clauses, deeds, and property value, the notary fees can also vary significantly.

        More information about the costs and fees involved with buying property in Ibiza can be found in our Buyer’s Guide.


        How can I start the residency or visa process in Ibiza and get the right help to take the next step?

        When you have completed your appointment at the national police office and submitted your required material for your special Brexit residence permit, you will need to wait until it is fully processed before collecting it (a second appointment is required). Due to the volume of applications for full residency in Ibiza, there is a long backlog. However, your TIE should arrive within a few weeks, allowing you to stay until your residency is completed.

        To ensure a stress-free process, especially if you don’t speak Spanish, we strongly suggest you contact our trusted legal professionals. You can find out all about the various visas available, applying for residency, and immigration laws in Spain here!

            Selling your property in Ibiza: legalities, taxes and procedures

            Numerous policies, procedures and costs need to be considered when selling your Ibiza property. For example: 

            The contract must be signed in the presence of both parties and the public notary. If the buyer or seller cannot participate in the procedure, attorneys may act on your behalf. In particular, the notary checks:

            • certificates confirming the absence of encumbrances of the object;
            • the correctness of the contract;
            • the parties have bank accounts in local banks necessary for the conclusion of the transaction.

            The subsequent transfer of ownership when selling a property in Spain is also controlled by a notary. To speed up and simplify the procedure, you can enlist the support of a lawyer who will help prepare documents and avoid several difficulties. 

            Like in other European countries, both parties must pay specific tax fees when selling real estate in Spain. From the seller’s point of view, when concluding a transaction, the following costs should be expected:

            1. Municipal Capital Gains Tax. 
            2. Income tax. 
            3. Tax on changes in the cadastral value of an object. 

            In our guide on the property selling process, you’ll find all the information you need, in detail,  including a thorough list of procedures, taxes, costs, and some handy tips and points of reference. 

            This guide can be used throughout your seller’s process, and if you need any additional advice, we will be happy to assist you.

              Looking to buy a Villa in San Antonio (Ibiza) in 2025?

              San Antonio is the second largest city on the island of Ibiza, known for its beautiful beaches, magnificent sunsets, and vibrant nightlife. In this article, we’ll discover the areas surrounding this popular tourist destination, revealing the best areas to buy a property in the San Antonio, Ibiza municipality.


              The history of San Antonio Ibiza, tourism and real estate rise

              Until a few decades ago, San Antonio town was still a local fishing village dating back 2000 years. In the 1980s, many ex-pats, particularly from Britain, moved to San Antonio to experience the dreamy Mediterranean lifestyle. Eventually, the area became a leading holiday destination, increasing the value of local properties and villas. 

              As a result, San Antonio has become an increasingly popular residential area for islanders and ex-pats alike, creating a notable British culture. Recent years have seen the real estate market gain recognition for its exclusive property locations and incredible opportunities for luxury homes and penthouses at very reasonable prices compared to the rest of the island.


              Why buy a Villa in San Antonio Ibiza? 

              When considering a Villa in San Antonio de Portmany, it should be no surprise that this beautiful coastal town offers a wide range of local amenities and a community atmosphere. There will never be a dull moment for you.

              Mambo Cafe, Cafe del Mar, Savannah, and Mint Lounge are some of the well-known music venues in town, yet the area is also home to an array of vibrant and popular restaurants and possibilities; some of our favourites are:

              • Es Tragón. An awarded Michelin Star restaurant
              • Sa Capella. Great traditional cuisine from its 16th Century converted church.

              San Antonio de Portmany

              Debunking San Antonio’s bad reputation,

              Unfortunately, San Antonio has acquired the reputation of being a hedonistic and low-budget tourist destination. However, the party scene represents just a small portion of the town’s soul; other noteworthy points of interest include:
               

              • Spectacular beaches and coves 
              • A family-friendly atmosphere
              • Local Ibicencan culture and cuisine 
              • The best island sunset 
              • Proximity to Eivissa town and to the best clubs and chiringuitos on the island 

              The municipality of Sant Antoni de Portmany is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression and ultimately dispel any false notions about the area

              We promise you that if you’re considering buying a property in Ibiza, San Antonio is definitely one of the best and most underrated areas to consider. 


              San Antonio, Ibiza: one of the most reasonably priced areas on the island

              From some of the island’s best beaches to breathtaking sunsets and a vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere, San Antonio has so much to offer. Property prices in the island’s second-largest town remain relatively affordable, which is probably its best feature.

              For example, San Antonio is one of the few areas where it is possible to buy a 3-bedroom house for €500k, or a 6-bedroom villa for €1.5M (to be renovated).  While these prices can also be found in less popular neighbourhoods of Ibiza town and Santa Eularia, San Antonio offers the best deals.

              The beaches of San Antonio, Ibiza

              San Antonio’s beaches are a paradise of natural gems with white sand coves, coastal paths, glistening waters, and bewitching sunsets. Despite the difficulty in defining a top few, these three are certainly special:

              • Cala Gracio, 
              • Cala Salada & Cala Saladeta,
              • Punta Galera.  


              All these spots are popular with visitors, so if you are considering purchasing a property in Ibiza for investment and touristic rentals, they are highly recommended.



              Cala Salada & Cala Saladeta

              From Villas in Cala Salada, you can gaze at sunsets and sea views surrounded by nature. The town offers waters perfect for snorkelling and swimming. Residents in Cala Salada love the natural and hidden beauty but appreciate the convenience of being close to town and nearby villages within minutes.

              Via the rocky paths that lead down from Cala Salada, you can reach its smaller sister Cala Saladeta, an even more secluded cove with golden sand and crystal clear waters.

              Punta Galera

              There is no other place on the island with a cliff edge that can offer such a picturesque beauty as Punta Galera. Beach lovers who love nature and appreciate fewer human gatherings will love this spot. 


              Cala Gracio

              Imagine an area filled with pine-clad hills and landscape views. Now add white sand and pool-like waters. It’s no wonder that Cala Gració is so appealing that many people rent a vacation villa or buy a property here.


              Countryside and Villages around San Antonio, Ibiza

              Exclusive villas in San Antonio’s countryside and villages feature views of rural landscapes and fascinating sunsets. The municipality comprises three picturesque villages characterised by traditional white churches: Santa Agnes, San Mateo and San Rafel.


              Santa Inés (Agnes), Ibiza

              Santa Inés’ beauty is well-known among tourists and photographers in Ibiza. They merely visit the area to marvel at its fields and landscape. 

              With acres of almond trees and cliff top walks overlooking the Islets of Ses Margalides, Santa Inés is a true haven. Also, while other major sunset spots like Es Vedra are often packed, this place is incredibly secluded and often overlooked.

              Last but not least, the almond trees bloom in February with pretty pink and white blossoms.

              San Mateo’s nature and hiking

              A small, picturesque village surrounded by almond trees, vineyards, and orchards: San Mateo is a beautiful place to seek a property for sale. The small village offers a calm and traditional atmosphere, perfect for nature lovers. From here, a steep rocky trail will lead you to Cala Aubarca (Cala d’Albarca), where many hikers travel to cross a stone bridge on the sea.


              San Rafael, restaurants and pottery

              San Rafael is a tiny but vibrant village with plenty of good restaurants to choose from, such as:

              San Rafael is also known as an "Area of Artisan Interest.". This village is home to some of the best potters on the island.  


              In conclusion, there’s something for everyone in the municipality of San Antonio: some of the best nightlife and beaches on the island, tranquil and traditional villages, and spectacular rural landscapes.

              Buying a villa in this area is a great investment with some of the lowest prices in Ibiza and properties of a diverse nature: ranging from modern contemporary architecture to traditional fincas, passing through luxury apartments with the best views.

                Living in the municipality of Sant Antoni de Portmany (San Antonio Abad)

                The Municipality of Sant Antoni de Portmany (aka San Antonio Abad or simply San Antonio) spans the West and North-West coasts of Ibiza and borders all four other municipalities on the island. The area occupies 126.80 km2 with an estimated population of 25,779 (of the total island population of 147,914). 

                In addition to its prominent tourism industry, Sant Antoni is known for its beautiful beaches, magnificent sunsets, vast countryside and vibrant nightlife. As well as being famous for tourism, Sant Antoni de Portmany has many other versatile and relatively less-known aspects. There are three beautiful rural villages with traditional white churches, Sant Agnes (Santa Inés), San Mateo, and San Rafael, and some of the island’s most secluded beaches.

                The community, culture, and style of Sant Antoni de Portmany are incredibly diverse, with locals and international residents of all ages and lifestyles residing here throughout the year, including many ex-pats from the UK and Europe. Buying a property in San Antonio offers many opportunities for families, singles, couples, and retired clients. San Antonio provides many outstanding properties with various authentic charm, modern contemporary architecture, newly-built apartments, private communities and luxury lifestyle options.

                Home buyers looking to buy a property in San Antonio can be typically sub-categorized into four distinctive areas; the Town, West Coast (Cala Salada, Cala Gracio, Punta Galera), North (Santa Inés and San Mateo) and the Interior (San Rafael, Buscastell, Benimussa).


                Living in the town of Sant Antoni de Portmany (San Antonio, Ibiza)

                Houses for sale in San Antonio appeal to a broad range of buyers and attract families, retirees, singles, young couples, and people who seek second homes for holidays and tourism. It is not uncommon for buyers looking for properties for sale in San Antonio to be attracted to the area’s proximity to local amenities, nearby beaches, restaurants, and cosmopolitan lifestyle with many restaurants, bars, beach clubs, accommodation, music, and superb sunsets.

                The town alone has been central to the island’s tourism for more than 50 years. It powerfully entices many young visitors from all over Europe every year to experience Ibiza’s most iconic electronic house music and sunset venues. Mambo Cafe, Cafe del Mar, Savannah and Mint Lounge, strategically placed along or close to the main promenade known as Sunset Strip, are among its top hotspots. San Antonio’s West End also comes alive day and night where superclubs, such as Es Paradis, Eden, O Beach Ibiza and Ibiza Rocks Hotel, host world-class DJs and great pool parties.

                Whilst San Antonio’s nightlife might sound a little overwhelming, July and August are the primary two months out of the year to be mindful of crowds. Otherwise, evenings spent strolling the promenade and enjoying the vibrant town outside of the ‘party scene’ are embraced by many different age groups, families and cultures during the rest of the year.

                The main beach of San Antonio Town is located along the promenade. The 6km long central coast leads down to the Marina Port, ideally situated for those looking to buy or rent a villa (or apartment) in San Antonio town, where walking distance is essential. There is also easy access to the beach and Marina Port for families and those with disabilities. Here, the waters are settled and safe for young children, are filled with water sports and boating opportunities, and are conveniently just a stone’s throw away from anywhere local in the town.  The town centre, of course, features supermarkets, typical local shops, fashion retail, beach essentials, pharmacies, souvenir shops, medical centres, hair and beauty salons, and almost every type of global cuisine imaginable.

                Clients considering buying San Antonio villas and apartments for holiday rentals will find consistent revenue as these properties are always in high demand, especially during high season and within walking distance of the main sunset strip and town amenities. The town of San Antonio offers a wide selection of older Ibicencan-style homes with authentic charm, as well as brand new apartment builds and smaller detached homes at an affordable price (compared to other municipalities on the island).

                San Antonio de Portmany

                Living in San Antonio West Coast, Ibiza

                On the West Coast of San Antonio, houses for sale appeal primarily to retired couples, families, young couples, and lifestyle holiday home buyers and investors. Unlike those seeking property for sale in San Antonio town, this clientele group is drawn to coastal beauty and the awe of nature. A wide range of villas and properties can be found along the West Coast of San Antonio, close to the most popular yet secluded beaches. In contrast to San Antonio Town, properties for sale on San Antonio’s West Coast are situated in a more relaxed and authentic environment with outstanding sea views.

                You can find stunning contemporary and exclusive modernised Mediterranean-style villas along the West Coast at Cala Salada, Cala Gracio, and Punta Galera (the area’s main beach hotspots) with direct access to unspoiled countryside, fishermen’s beaches, and the most famous sunsets in Ibiza.


                Properties in Cala Salada & Cala Saladeta, Ibiza

                Located just 10 minutes from San Antonio Town, Cala Salada is one of Ibiza’s most beautiful and regularly visited coves. As a popular destination, many visitors often seek services like ghostwriting, especially those looking for a peaceful environment to inspire their writing. The ghostwriting rates ghostwriting preise in this area are quite competitive, catering to a diverse clientele. Because the small cove is so beloved, San Antonio authorities have restricted parking access during the summer to keep crowds low and maintain its tranquility. Cala Salada, while very close to San Antonio Town, offers unparalleled natural beauty and crystalline waters, perfect for diving, snorkelling, and swimming, which altogether feel worlds away from the bustling town. Cala Saladeta, an even more secluded cove, has golden sand and crystal clear waters that you can reach via the rocky paths that lead down from Cala Salada.

                Villas in Cala Salada offer unparalleled opportunities to observe spectacular sunsets and enjoy uninterrupted sea views surrounded by nature. Homebuyers and residents in Cala Salada love the hidden beauty but appreciate the convenience of being close to town and nearby villages within minutes.

                Cala Saladeta, Ibiza - San Antonio Municipality

                Punta Galera, Ibiza

                Just north of Cala Salada lies the infamous smooth rock and several flat terraces of Punta Galera. During my visit, I was accompanied by a renowned ghostwriter wien, who was seeking inspiration from the island’s natural wonders. There is no other place on the island with a staggering cliff edge that can offer such a serene and picturesque beauty. This rocky terrain is void of sand and amenities and is inaccessible by traffic or parking. This is the perfect spot for those who value nature and appreciate less human interaction on the beach. The water is at least two meters deep and mostly crystal clear. Just be ready to jump a little off the shore edge.  The rocky terrain at Punta Galera is a peaceful and respected place where silence is upheld by all visitors, which is why many people practice yoga and meditation there.  


                Cala Gracioneta Chiringuito

                Properties in Cala Gració, Ibiza

                Cala Gració is another attractive and favoured beach cove close to San Antonio’s main town. The fine white sands and the natural pool-like waters are so appealing that many people elect to rent a vacation villa or buy a property there. The surrounding area is filled with pine-clad hills and enthralling landscape views. Next to Cala Gració main bay, is Cala Gracioneta. Cala Gracioneta is of typical Ibizan style, which is family-friendly with an incredibly chilled atmosphere and home to the renowned boho-chic Cala Gracioneta Chiringuito. The beach bar and restaurant, owned by the island’s famous Mambo Group, is the perfect spot to enjoy good quality Mediterranean cuisine and watch the surrounding beauty.

                It is hard to find a property in Cala Gracio that doesn’t offer sweeping sunsets, sea views and the luxury of peace. All three spots here, known for their ghostwriting of the island’s serene beauty, are extremely popular with visitors, year after year, so if you are considering purchasing a property in Ibiza for investment and touristic rentals, Cala Gracio, Cala Salada, and Punta Galera are highly recommended.


                Properties in the north of San Antonio, Ibiza

                A property in the north of Sant Antoni, especially in Santa Ines (Santa Agnes de Corona) and San Mateo, offers an entirely different environment, community and style than the town or the west coast. The picturesque countryside of the San Antonio municipality boasts wide open, mountainous and vast landscapes, where clients can find high-profile and exclusive hillside villas and traditional finca farmhouses.  

                Santa Ines and San Mateo Property options include authentic and renovated contemporary farmhouses (Finca) and modern-style villas.  Often, these idyllic homes offer stunning views of unspoiled countryside and fascinating sunset skies. In addition to being favourite buy-to-rent investment properties, Santa Ines and San Mateo properties are ideal for nature lovers.  

                Like many other agricultural and small village locations in Ibiza, villa rentals in Santa Ines and San Mateo are becoming increasingly popular.  A villa vacation in the Ibiza countryside is a popular option for families, large groups, or unique events, primarily as they are located away from the crowds, from where it’s easy to access all the local hot spots, beaches, and amenities.


                Properties in Santa Inés, Ibiza

                Properties for sale in Santa Agnes are rare and are always in high demand. Located around the central white church of Santa Inés, the village is a unique land with only a few authentic houses. Its captivating beauty is well-known among tourists and photographers in Ibiza, who merely visit the area to marvel at its gardens.  Known for its acres of almond trees, Es Pla de Corona and its cliff top walks high above the pine forests overlooking the "Gates of Heaven" (a couple of sporadic islets in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea), Santa Inés is a true paradise.

                In Santa Agnes, properties are as prized as the land they sit on. Despite the small local community and two bars directly in front of the church, this area provides a quality of life that is nothing short of luxurious. Around February, the blossom trees bloom into beautiful sheets of pink and white almond flowers. Undoubtedly, the land is an exceptional sight that attracts the attention of locals and tourists alike.  Property in Santa Inés offers clients an unspoiled, traditional island part untouched by tourism.

                Ibiza Sant Mateu D Albarca San Mateo White Church

                Properties in San Mateo

                The village of Santa Inés sits close to the village of San Mateo.  San Mateo is a small, quaint and beautifully kept village.  The area, Es Pla de Sant Mateu, is filled with beautiful authentic charm and architecture with spectacular surrounding countryside cultivated and abundant with blossoming fruit trees.  

                San Mateo is a beautiful place to seek a property for sale.  Long hikes around the Es Pla de Sant Mateu (almond trees, vineyards and miles of orchards with locally grown grapes, olives, oranges and lemons) with afternoons spent enjoying the hillside views from the local authentic restaurants and bars make San Mateo a residence of peaceful and traditional living. Naturally, the area is always in high demand with a much lower supply than demand, with more sizable housing and land, which is therefore reflective of the higher price bracket observed in this area.


                Properties in the interior countryside of San Antoni de Portmany, Ibiza

                In a similar manner to Santa Inés and San Mateo, the interior of San Antonio de Portmany offers clients and visitors a charming rural lifestyle. This clientele group shares a love of the great outdoors and nature walks, and is incredibly keen on buying fincas, renovated farmhouses, and modern hilltop villas in San Rafael and Buscastell. Several homes for sale in the interior region of San Antonio offer a quiet country-style home to retreat to, with vast landscapes, farmland, and personal agriculture opportunities. Although these internal spots are relatively low in demand compared to other rural areas on the island, they are still ideal for quick access to various countryside locations, charming villages, beauty spots, restaurants, and beaches.


                Properties in Buscastell, Ibiza

                Buscastell is a small village near Sant Antoni’s main town and San Rafael. Known as Es Broll de Buscastell, this area is over 4.5 km, and the landscape is formed by valleys that follow the flow of a stream. It contains wetlands and springs for water, and Ibiza’s largest winery, Can Rich. 

                A property near Buscastell offers clients a relaxed community atmosphere with a humble ambience. Besides a small local store and a popular bar and restaurant, the village consists of a single white church and one small local store.


                Properties in San Rafael, Ibiza

                San Rafael is a small yet vibrant village only 8km from Ibiza Town and San Antonio town.  Although small, buying a property close to the village of San Rafael offers a wide range of outlets for day-to-day living, such as a pharmacy, bakery, hardware store, petrol station and several restaurants.

                San Rafael hosts a selection of highly recommended island restaurants to choose from and enjoy.  Can Pilot and Es Tancó Pizzeria are very popular and often bustle with locals and tourists regularly, both in and out of season. San Rafael village is also a unique "Area of Artisan Interest ".  The village is home to the best potters on the island, who have practised modern and traditional pottery methods for hundreds of years.
