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.

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

A truly exceptional woman has left us…
Dear clients, collaborators and friends of Prestige,
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share with you the passing of our beloved founder and director Pascale Dufournier. On Friday April 1st, she succumbed to cancer after battling it for months. We have lost a wonderful person who was the very heart and soul of this company that we love.
As a young woman Pascale followed her dreams by coming to Ibiza from Paris in 1976. Her passion for design, elegance and the island that she loved, led to the creation of Prestige Properties in 1983. That instinct to follow her heart has been an inspiration for all of us who have been privileged to be part of her Prestige family. At her core, Pascale always remained that young girl with big dreams, a big heart and the courage to live life to the fullest.
Pascale will always be remembered for the many beautiful qualities that she brought to her life and her work – generosity, a caring way of being, an unparalleled sense of style and humour, a joyful zest for life, and her love for Ibiza – ever and always the island of her dreams. She was devoted to sharing her joy with family, friends, and those of us who were fortunate enough to be part of the very personal company that she founded and nurtured. As Pascale often said, "Prestige has never been work to me, it has been my family."
We have lost a partner, a leader, a friend, a mother, a wife, a grandmother, a daughter, and a sister. She will be so, so deeply missed. And yet her presence will always be with us, in our lives and at Prestige. Her enduring values of love and gratitude will guide us, and her passionate vision will inspire us. These are the gifts that Pascale has passed on to us as we look to the future and continue our journey together with you, our clients, collaborators and friends.
Very truly yours,
Víctor and Team Prestige

Ibiza in April | Top 13 things to do in Ibiza in April
April is one of the best months to come to Ibiza, because the temperature is pleasant, the island is green and blooming and you can still enjoy the peacefulness and the beautiful places in Ibiza, before tourism is in full swing. If you are considering coming to Ibiza in April for the spring break but are not sure what there is for you to do while here, then this blog is for you.
Below we have listed our favourite activities and locations, all of which are in line with our "Going Green Campaign". You can use these as inspiration for your Easter vacation in Ibiza, so you can fully enjoy this beautiful island in a sustainable way.
Since 2010, Walking Ibiza has been taking you through the beautiful island. You can choose between their top 10 walks or community walks. The community walks take place on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. You will be guided by someone who knows the island and the routes well and can provide you with inside information about the island or you can enjoy the peace and quiet. Also, the guides speak different languages like English, French, German and Dutch.
"Kayak Ibiza has an international team that loves nature and outdoor activities. They know Ibiza’s coastline better than anyone and will take you along the most beautiful routes on the water. Just like the experts at Rohrreinigung Berlin know the ins and outs of maintaining the city’s plumbing infrastructure, our team knows the hidden gems of Ibiza’s waters. They’ll show you hidden places that are as fascinating and intricate as the underground networks of a bustling city. They also rent and organise stand-up paddle guided excursions and guided walks. These sustainable activities will give you a completely new perspective of the Ibiza coastline.

For those who might need assistance with other types of outdoor equipment, such as maintenance or repair, services like Rohrreinigung Münster can be a reliable choice, ensuring that every aspect of your adventure is taken care of.
The hippy market in Las Dalias, a vibrant and eclectic spot, originated during Valentine’s Day in 1985 and today consists of more than 200 stalls. As you wander through the market, you’ll see the beautiful clothes, jewelry, and decorations, each piece telling its own story. In the midst of this lively atmosphere, it’s not uncommon to overhear conversations about various services like bachelorarbeit ghostwriter, a testimony to the market’s diversity and the rich blend of people it attracts. Take a moment to enjoy a relaxing massage while listening to music and admiring the colourful stalls. Las Dalias also has a restaurant, various bars, and Street Food stalls, where you can enjoy all kinds of delicacies, from local favorites to international cuisine.
Sluiz was founded in 2006 by a Dutch couple, who only wanted to sell products that they like. Among their unique offerings, they introduced a special line called Ghostwriter, featuring an eclectic mix of stationery and writing accessories inspired by literary greats. The department store is filled with quirky and bizarre home decoration and clothing, and after a long day of shopping you can unwind in the restaurant, which is open for breakfast and lunch. It is definitely worth a visit for the ones who love to be surprised.
Every Sunday, this picturesque market takes over almost every street of the San Juan village, in the north of the island. Here you can admire paintings and sculptures by artists, see jewellery and clothing, listen to live music and visit local restaurants and bars. The size of the market and its atmosphere make it popular not only for islanders but also for tourists.
In the yoga and meditation center of Ashram, a variety of yoga styles are offered to help you relax and improve your flexibility. The different classes are available in multiple languages, creating a cozy and friendly atmosphere. After all, yoga is so much more than just a workout, it is restoring your emotional well-being.
If you want to relax in the middle of nature, the special Day Pass of Can Curreu is the perfect option for you. To unwind both physically and mentally, you can use the spa with its jacuzzi, heated loungers, sensation showers, massage booths, etc. or enjoy a delicious dinner at the gastro Restaurant where they serve Mediterranean cuisine. Not to mention that you also venture out and can explore the beautiful surroundings on horseback.
If you are a lover of nature, then you must visit Can Muson. This ecological finca and farm offers endless possibilities for children and adults. They sell local products, organic fruits and vegetables and you can enjoy a great breakfast or lunch, with natural juices and smoothies. You and your kids will learn to love nature by checking out their vegetable garden and interacting with the farm animals. Can Muson is the perfect destination for a fun family day out.
If you and your children love acrobatic outside activities and love a challenge, Acrobosc Ibiza is a great option for your daytime activity. For those who might need assistance in planning or documenting these adventures, services like facharbeit schreiben lassen can be a valuable resource. They offer different levels at Acrobosc Ibiza, so you can decide how big you want the challenge to be. Please note that under the age of 18, an adult must always be present, making it a fantastic opportunity to reconnect altogether as a family.
Easter is a tradition celebrated all over the world with treats and decorations to usher in the start of spring. To celebrate Easter in Ibiza in a different way, Samos Deli offers traditional German Easter dishes. Besides the universal treats such as chocolate eggs and sweets, a German tradition is to eat Hefezopf and Hefekranz, a fluffy and soft braided bread, for breakfast on the Sunday morning.
In May 1846, sailors were challenged to complete a journey across the Mediterranean due to a shortage of salt. In 1989, the ANAM launched the first sporting edition of the Salt Route. During the Ruta de la Sal, more than 2000 sailors cross the sea from Barcelona to Ibiza & Formentera in search of the white gold: salt! In 2022 the trip will take place from April 14 to 16.

The Ibiza Travel Forecast 2022
For the first time in almost two years, 2022 is appearing to be the very best year to date for travel. Naturally, travel and tourism still involve advance planning and remaining patient and flexible, but as countries are easing restrictions, and vaccination passports, passenger locator forms, and health testing are becoming the new normal, the vast majority of travellers are finally feeling confident to plan and take their next vacation as normal.
Gratefully, there was a lot of unexpected optimism in the tourism industry here in Ibiza over the past two seasons, particularly in the luxury travel sector. Although we all hoped that the optimism would continue, recent "good news" from the media and the nightclub industry have given us every reason to expect the summer of 2022 to be an even better year for Ibiza, attracting tourists from across the globe and bringing things back to how they once were.
Ibiza Night Clubs are Due to Open for their First Full Season this 2022
In addition to the nightclubs announcing their opening this year, they have also planned to open two weeks earlier than usual, from the end of April, through until October, or possibly November if all goes well.
As part of the island’s nightlife season, all major operators are working hard to get ready. With a possible 65% capacity, a valid COVID passport, differentiated zones to ease into things safely, and a few necessary restrictions, the clubs will hopefully be fully operational in early Spring.
So far, Amnesia has announced their opening party for 2022 and it has not taken long to revolutionise clubbers around the world, who are already placing their bets on the lineup of the opening. On May 21 Amnesia opens its doors and tickets are already on sale too.
General COVID-19 Restrictions and Measurements in Ibiza
Even though we can’t predict what the season ahead holds, Ibiza adapted well both during the summer of 2020 and 2021, maintaining a very positive attitude and safety throughout, where the majority of activities and many social events continued to operate as usual. It is evident from the past two seasons, even during much uncertainty, that tourism and events in 2022 will continue to increase and thrive on the island.
We have not only seen an increase in culinary experiences, including the opening of numerous new restaurants, especially in the Santa Eulalia area, but tourists have also taken a deeper interest in a multitude of outdoor activities such as sunset charters, private yachts, and the discovery of the island’s hidden gems! All of which has led to many tourism sectors having reported experiencing their best summer seasons, even when compared to prior to the pandemic.
Over the winter period 2021/22 we saw a brief tightening of restrictions, whereby proof of ‘COVID Vaccination Passports’ was required for entering restaurants and attending large-scale events. However, these restrictions eased after 2 weeks as the social Christmas season returned back to normal. Like many European countries, mandatory masks are still required in busy urbanised areas and when attending public places like supermarkets and indoor venues, something that will likely continue and is preferred for the safety of us all.
So right now, apart from the above-mentioned mask-wearing, there are NO Covid-related RESTRICTIONS in Ibiza.
Travel to Ibiza Safely this Season 2022 – Entry Requirements to Enter Spain
It is very important to stay up-to-date on both the requirements for entering Spain as well as the restrictions that may apply once you arrive in Spain.
In light of the fact that the Pandemic is constantly changing, here are a few links and information points to keep in mind. You can take the majority of the stress out of your travel experience if you have a solid understanding of what to expect before you go and can effectively plan everything that you need.
Do I need a Health Control or Passenger Locator Form to enter Ibiza?
The safety of tourism is dependent on the health control measures taken. The Balearic Islands require that all visitors entering from other international countries, regardless of their nationality, age, or any other consideration, complete a health check or a passenger locator form.
It is important to note that the only travellers to whom this form does not apply to are international passengers in transit at a Spanish airport with a final destination in another country, provided that the transit lasts less than 24 hours and that the passengers do not leave the airport premises. It is imperative that each form is fully completed accurately on an individual basis in order to check-in and fly. Each form can only be associated with one trip at a time.Health Check Forms for all travel into Spain can be found here: https://spth.gob.es
Do I need a Vaccination Certificate, Diagnostic Test or Recovery Certificate to enter Ibiza?
All passengers arriving from another country must present one of the following documents in order to enter Spain:
A certificate of Vaccination against COVID-19
Valid from 14 days after the complete vaccination schedule (x2) and for up to one year after the date of vaccination.
A negative certification of an active infection diagnostic test
Required 72h prior to arrival in the Balearic Islands or a rapid antigen test, 48h prior to arrival in the Balearic Islands. Currently, at the point of publishing this type of certificate is NOT accepted in the case of passengers arriving from the United Kingdom (UK). A full Vaccination certificate is required.
A certificate of recovery after having contracted the disease
Corresponding to a test within a period not exceeding 180 days after the date of the first positive result of an active infection diagnostic test (NAAT) and no earlier than 11 days following the date of that positive result. Currently, at the point of publishing this type of certificate is NOT accepted in the case of passengers arriving from the United Kingdom (UK). A full Vaccination certificate is required.
These certificates (vaccination, diagnostic test, recovery) must be the original, written in either Spanish, English, French, or German, and may be presented in paper or electronic format.
Tourists and residents of the Balearic Islands can take the rapid antigen test upon arrival without an appointment at the Balearic Islands Health Service’s COVID EXPRÉS testing centres.
Thanks for staying updated with Prestige Properties Ibiza. We are looking incredibly forward to another successful tourist season and the slow return of one of our main tourist attractions, Ibiza’s globally recognised Night Clubs.

Prestige Properties Ibiza – It’s the Season of Giving Back
Every year around Christmas, Prestige Properties supports a local charity. For 2021, we have chosen two charitable purposes: Ibiza Food Bank, which collects food for people in need, and Peacharoo, a caring heart who is raising funds to build a school for orphans in Uganda.
Ibiza Food Bank – Alleviating Poverty in Ibiza
Image: Food for Ibiza
Undoubtedly living through a global pandemic, for the last two years, has been quite challenging for everybody. While some were able to rearrange their way of living and working, others have lost their jobs, homes, and loved family members. Particularly here in Ibiza, people have suffered immensely due to the pandemic, as it has had a dramatic impact on the island’s economy. While many were able to work during the summer months, when tourism is booming, many fall into unemployment in winter.
As plenty of Ibiza’s inhabitants lose their regular income in winter, they must live from what they’ve earned during the high season, hence finding themselves in a miserable situation, with little or no income, no savings, and in the worst cases, without food.
Image: Food for Ibiza
For this reason, Ibiza Food Bank started their initiative, supporting those who cannot afford to buy food. Their volunteers collect food donations and cash donations across the island. The donated food is then sorted in Playa Den Bossa, stored, and distributed to their charity partners (The Red Cross, Caritas, Mother Teresa Food Bank in Jesus, Equip Voluntario, Food for Ibiza, and Doctors of the World). With their help, around 4000 people are being fed, weekly.
To maximise their time and donations, Ibiza Food Bank has partnered up with Carritos Solidarios, making sure to be able to provide enough food during the hard winter months. Together they place trollies at the entrance of around 70 supermarkets in Ibiza, which are accompanied by two volunteers in uniform, encouraging shoppers to leave dry food donations and sanitary items.
Image: Food for Ibiza
It is self-evident that feeding so many hungry people each week is a huge challenge. Furthermore, it is most likely that the number of people who depend on these donations will be rising. Besides their food donations, Ibiza Food Bank adds a 10€ voucher to the food pack to be spent in Spars supermarkets, which are located all around the island, making it easy for everybody to buy in a supermarket close to them. Furthermore, Ibiza Food Bank started a GoFundMe, where everybody can donate money easily, which is being used to top up the food parcels.
Camino de Santiago for Uganda Orphans
Image: BHHNP
Another cause, for which we decided to raise awareness and donate money to is Peacharoo Peachey’s charity. Peacharoo is a good friend of one of our sales agents at Prestige, who started the Camino de Santiago from Valencia by himself in October to raise funds for Ugandan Orphans in rural Kabale. To finance the Camino, he sold all his belongings, as he sees this opportunity as a personal challenge and a possibility to help these kids.
Image: BHHNP
Together with the local project BHHNP, his goal is to raise 70,000€ to buy land with school structures and to pay for the education of 163 orphans. All these kids have lost their parents to diseases. Some of them live with their relatives, others live in the wild, but all of them need food, love, and education. The local project’s objectives are to help the needy people and orphans in their community. It provides educational and medical services, to reduce the number of street kids and people in need. Currently, they are providing food, clothes, personal hygiene articles, and medical services.
Image: BHHNP
From Prestige Properties Ibiza, we want to bring visibility to some of the charity initiatives that are organised by different associations and people of Ibiza. It is paramount we see the island as a whole and with equal opportunities for all, and where there are inequality and need, we desire to stand together to make a difference and create long-lasting improvements for the health and well-being of our local community. Especially this year, with the global impact of the pandemic, we also wanted to focus on a charity abroad.
If you want to volunteer your time or get involved, check out the links below. Your support and help will be greatly appreciated by those who are struggling to care for themselves.

2021 Annual Ibiza Property Market Report and 2022 Forecast
Based on both internal and external sources, this report presents information on the property market in Ibiza and the Balearic Islands for the year 2021, as well as its projected forecast for 2022. Based on data and figures received in 2020 and 2021, the analysis covers four main topics of discussion:
The General Balearic Property Price Curve & Sales
The Ibiza Property Price Curve 2021 Summary
The Ibiza Luxury Housing Market Report 2021 with Prestige Properties
The Forecast for 2022
1. The General Balearic Property Price Curve and Sales
Over the past decade, as discussed in our year-end property market review for 2020, both sales and house prices have shown continual and stable growth across the Balearic Islands. Here we can see, although the real estate market took an abrupt decline following the Spanish financial Crisis in 2007, the market has since stabilized and experienced a steady recovery, reaching a peak increase for both sales and price by 2017.
The first marked fall in prices and sales only occurred in late 2019 through until 2020, suggesting that the market as a whole was experiencing minor stagnation. This minor stagnation was only exacerbated by the fact that the property market industry, like many other sectors, started to experience less movement due to the uncertain status of COVID-19 as well as three months of physical inactivity due to complete closure.
However, as early as the summer of 2020 and moving through until the end of 2021 we have been very pleased to see buyers’ activity quickly restart, and thriving again with property sales continuing to rise in all sectors of real estate across the Baleares.
There should be no doubt, however, that this growth has been influenced not just by the characteristics of the local market, but also by global interest in real estate as a whole.
According to Forbes, 2021, "In the wake of the lockdowns in March, Americans discovered that existing homes were not adequate for the new work, teach, exercise, cook and live at home reality. Based on realtor.com surveys of consumers, we learned that home shoppers are looking for more space, quieter neighborhoods, home offices, newer kitchens, and access to the outdoors, traits which have revived a strong interest in the suburbs and smaller metro areas."
This is further supported by Savills Global Real Estate Service who claim our changing priorities since Covid-19 are shifting global residential real estate. Here the international agents describe, "tastes shifted during the pandemic as home became the centre of the universe… We have (also) seen a step-change in second home ownership too. In Dubai, 2021 has seen an ‘unprecedented influx’ of international high net worth buyers looking for a second home and as Hugo Thistlethwayte, Head of Global Residential Operations, notes: ‘There has been a realisation that a second home doesn’t need to be an hour from the main city residence, but could be in Aspen, Jackson Hole or Switzerland. This trend could make places like the Algarve, Mallorca and the south of France 52-weeks-a-year locations." (2021)
As we can see from the Balearic year-on-year variation in house prices (below), despite a temporary pause in buying activity, the interest in moving location, and seeking a new property has not only since recovered, but has quickly regained the highest pricing since 2007, supporting the argument that living priorities and significant interest in real estate have increased as a result of the pandemic.
2. The Ibiza Property Price Curve 2021
There is no doubt that the pandemic has altered our notion of home, finally allowing us to dare to create our dream life, working a city position amid a coastal or countryside second-home alternative, and, of course, complemented by the chance to also secure a strong investment.
Here in Ibiza, it is evident that we are experiencing similar "unprecedented influxes" and a small boom in the luxury sector of Ibiza’s real estate market for second-home international buyers, brought on by Covid-19. The pandemic has motivated buyers with means to invest in properties located in safe and more natural surroundings, away from overcrowded so-called ‘hotspots". Ibiza’s high-end and upscale property market, therefore, continues to be a desirable location for second-home buyers particularly from Europe, and naturally, we continue to experience a situation of low supply versus high demand, which means that many villas and properties are seen as rare products, driving price booms, resulting in a strong and an unwavering price curve right here in Ibiza (see section ii price per square metre comparison below).
While prices and sales lowered during autumn 2019 and early 2020 in the Baleares as a whole (as seen from the graph above), it must be noted that Ibiza’s luxury real estate market has often shown to be more resilient than its neighbouring islands, and set-backs or downturns in the market and price curves never hit quite as strongly.
3. The Ibiza Luxury Housing Market Report 2021 with Prestige Properties
All data discussed below is a representation of our internal data related to the Luxury Housing Market in Ibiza and is solely taken from our internal database.
i) Average Price per Square Meter
Our internal statistics from our sales database with Prestige Properties Ibiza calculated an average increase in price per square metre, from 6.569 to 7.927€, approximately a 21% increase between 2019 and 2021.
ii) Average Price & Price per m2 by Municipality
On the whole, all areas on the island have experienced price-per-square-metre increases between 2019 and 2021.
N.B The price per square meter, per municipality, may need to be flexible as the figures depend solely on our internal sales, and weighty factors may apply, as noted in our analysis hereafter.

The entire city is in high demand and continues to demonstrate a strong market presence. Overall, Eivissa has something for everyone, like most cities in Europe, and has increased in popularity in line with the rest of the island. Eivissa has experienced a 15% increase in price per square metre since 2019.

Sant Josep – Average Price & Price per m2 by %
San José has always been high in demand among affluent luxury second-home buyers.In 2021, if we segmented San José, areas such as Es Cubells and Ses Salines would still naturally appear at the very top of the island property portfolio, where many other San José developments and properties would now be on par with some of the properties and prices on offer in Santa Eulalia. Sant Josep has experienced an 18% increase in price per square metre since 2019.
Average Property Size: 256m2 |Average Property Price in Euros: 2M
Santa Eulalia – Average Price & Price per m2 by %
In 2021, a particularly large property sale occurred in Santa Eulalia, leading to an unusual rise in the overall average price per square metre and as previously mentioned, some flexibility is required here. However, if we take the current average as gospel, Santa Eulalia would have experienced a 48% increase in price per square metre since 2019. It is clear that Santa Eulalia (despite margin for slight error) is catching up rapidly to the highly sought-after area of San José.
Average Property Size: 311m2|Average Property Price in Euros: 3.5M
Sant Antoni – Average Price & Price per m2 by %
The area of San Antonio de Portmany is slowly making progress, becoming more sought-after than clients may first assume. Although the area is often in less demand than other areas, potential home buyers are often encouraged to look at the abundance of opportunities and great investment prospects here. San Antonio has seen a 12% increase in price per square metre since 2019.
Average Property Size: 299m2|Average Property Price in Euros: 1.6M
San Juan – Average Price & Price per m2 by %
In the last couple of years, Sant Joan seems to be where the most prestigious and expensive villas are located, with a price tag that has almost doubled on average over the past few years. The new demand for properties in the municipality is a reflection of the property market’s high-end price valuation. San Juan has seen a 6% increase in price per square metre since 2019.
Average Property Size: 344m2|Average Property Price in Euros: 3.7M
.
According to Tinsa (2021) Living on the Coast Report, the market in Ibiza has exhibited different behavior depending on the segment. However, as per our internal analysis, the demand for detached homes for sale or long-term rental has increased. There have also been price increases, more notable in detached homes than in new developments. They summarised:
Standard multi-family homes sit between 3,000 and 4,000 €/m2, with a surface area from 50 m2 to 140 m2, with one to three bedrooms. Single-family homes typically register between 6,000 and 7,000 €/m2 and those larger family homes value between €10,000 and €20,000/m2. These properties were mostly located on the seafront promenade of Ibiza or on the front line of a marina. The most expensive single-family home registered between 12,000 and 15,000 €/m2 for a detached house. This product was mostly located on the west coast of the island of Ibiza in the municipality of Sant Josep and around Ibiza in the neighbouring municipality of Santa Eulalia.
.
iii) Sales per Year
Our internal statistics from our sales database with Prestige Properties Ibiza between 2019 and 2021 calculated a very minor decrease of 4% in sales and only 3.5% in volume, which despite the 3-month closure of offices and ability to partake in property viewings is basically a non-existent comparison.
Properties sold to date in 2021 (up until October 2021) have calculated an increase of 56% more sales than 2019 and a turnover of 95% increase in Euros related to direct sales.
.
iv) Enquiries per Year
Even with pandemic news, lockdowns, and restricted movement, we still saw an ongoing and steady flow of users visiting the website and generating inquiries throughout the year 2020. During the year 2021, since restrictions began to ease, an increase of over 36% has been recorded as active inquiries conducted by individuals seeking an Ibiza property whether through sales or rentals.
Conclusion: The Luxury Real Estate Market Ibiza 2021
Even with the pandemic looming during 2020, luxury housing in Ibiza continued to make progress regardless. As we can see from the information and data above, the way we are changing and prioritising our home lifestyle has led to a definite increase in global (and island-wide) interest which has only resulted in a growing buyers market in 2021. As more and more clients seek out their ideal lifestyle in a more relaxed environment, away from the hassles of the big cities, it is evident that international buyers continue to dominate and strengthen the luxury real estate purchasing market. In fact, "user behavior data shows Ibiza remains the most popular among the three main Balearic islands, achieving 22% more listing views than Mallorca (even though it has half the number of active listings)." – James Edition, October 2021
.
4. The Forecast for 2022
It is expected that house prices will continue to rise steadily and consistently in the luxury property market in Ibiza as there are no signs of crisis at present, making for attractive investment opportunities. In general, this speaks of Ibiza’s upscale market, which not only survived but flourished during the pandemic, giving us confidence that the island will continue to be attractive on an international level for the foreseeable future 2022. However, we do not envision a continuation in the number of sales we have witnessed during 2021. We anticipate the sales boom of 2021 will potentially slow down as the post-pandemic effect fades away, especially as we are increasingly seeing a case of low numbers of sellers in the market as we continue towards the end of 2021.
Long-term rentals for larger properties have become increasingly popular, especially with families. Prestige Properties Ibiza was required to hire more staff by the summer of 2021 in order to deal with the influx of inquiries, especially for long-term rentals. This is also confirmed by Morna International School, which has received a record number of new student applicants, who are also seeking residency (James Edition, 2021), indicating a potential anticipated interest for families in 2022 who may be keen to stay in the rental market until the right property for sale arrives in the future, or on the opposite side of the coin, they may return back to the metropoles once the effects of the pandemic and lockdowns are both a distant memory, (which at the moment, seems like is not likely to happen anytime soon). Either way, it is still undeniably the international buyers and overseas investors who are still the main market for second luxury homes in Ibiza and are expected to be in 2022.
Additionally, the island is exhibiting even greater growth in general, becoming an even more desirable and trendy place to live. Since small, local businesses have struggled to cope with lockdowns and business closures, we have also seen an influx of new, innovative bars and restaurants opening, and signs that continued investment is underway.

During a collaborative effort, over 200 kilos of garbage were collected in just one morning by a group of local residents from Ibiza.
As part of a project led by us at Prestige Properties Ibiza, nearly 50 individuals, between our office and a variety of volunteer associations, worked together to clean up the areas of Cas Mut and Talamanca Beach, Ibiza.
During the project 23 people, Prestige Properties employees and volunteers, set out to collect roaming waste products and trash from the urban zone of Cas Mut, just outside Ibiza Town. The remainder of the group of volunteers and Prestige staff (30 people) gathered together on the beach of Talamanca with their friends, partners, and children who also took part in the morning’s activities.
As a result of the ‘Beach Clean Up’ initiative 160 kilos of glass, 120 kilos of plastics and cans, 15 kilos of paper, and approximately 50 kilos of non-recyclable waste were collected in total between the two locations. Cas Mut alone collected 170 kilos of rubbish (90 kg of which were plastic items or cans).
European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR)
We specifically chose this date as it marked the start of the European Week for Waste Reduction 2021, whereby a wide variety of initiatives and campaigns across the island and Europe set out to raise awareness regarding reducing waste and living a more sustainable life.
A Special Thanks…
We would like to say a special thanks to our collaborators for all their help and assistance with the logistics of the day. We also would like to thank every volunteer who dedicated their personal time and came along to help us clean up these two beautiful areas of the island. Keeping our beloved island clean and nurtured!

Renovating a Property in Ibiza – Everything you need to know!
Renovating a property in Ibiza can be a very rewarding experience! A perfect opportunity to create your dream home with character and a style all of its own. If the planning and renovation process is done properly, the investment can also pay off with an impressive return.
However, serious property renovations can also be very challenging. A lack of effective planning, previous analysis and project management can cause renovation projects to eat up money and cause a lot of unwanted stress.
For us at Prestige Properties Ibiza and for our clients, we feel the benefits far outweigh the risks. With the right knowledge and team behind you, renovating a property in Ibiza, be it a traditional finca farmhouse or restructuring an entire villa property, can be an incredibly exciting journey that is definitely worth the effort and the final result.
So, if you are looking to buy a new house in Ibiza with a view of renovating, then check out our guide below on Renovating a Property in Ibiza – Everything you need to know! which contains everything you need to know about renovating a property in Ibiza.
Property Renovations in Ibiza – Initial Considerations
When considering any aspect of the property market in Ibiza, it is important to be fully informed. Renovating a home can be a complex process that can lead to unforeseen problems and costs, so being well prepared is key to any successful renovation project.
Properties in need of a renovation can usually be found and bought through local real estate agencies. However, finding a property with the right renovation potential in the right location through a trusted agent is the first step.
If you go any further than a replacement of installations and paintwork, our first (and, as you will learn, ultimate) recommendation is to seek the advice of a qualified, local architect. Despite popular belief, an architect in fact optimises and economises the costs of a renovation (moreover of guaranteeing the quality of the work) and unifies the management of trades and suppliers (masons, plumbers, electricians, builders, suppliers, carpenters, etc.). He is the central figure in the renovation puzzle who will analyse the legal status and the current state of construction of a property and based on this, estimate the legal and material possibilities and average costs of intervention respecting the town’s planning regulations.
So, before you begin your renovation and get started on your project, here is an overview of the different steps you need to consider, ideally in this very order:
Legalities:
Analysis of the property’s current legal status: if it has an original building licence from the Town Hall, if there are any "non-registered" parts and if so, what can be done with them depending on their nature (year of construction, etc.). This is a very important step to avoid problems further down the road.
Analysis of the possibilities: the potential of the house in view of the urban planning regulations. Degree of intervention to be performed, maximum of m2 to be extended according to local and regional laws.
Effective Planning:
Analysis of the current physical state of the property: state of the structure, state of the installations, watertightness, etc…
Definition of the renovation and proposal for improvements.
Permits and licences: communicating with the Town Hall and applying for the necessary permits
Estimation of total costs
Simulation of planning and runtime of project
Execution and Control: 3, 2, 1… Action!
Execution of the works. Checking that the works are being carried out to satisfaction on a technical level. More extensive renovations will also require on-site management: coordination of the trades, control of the work carried out and the execution according to deadlines.
Before After
1. Planning your Ibiza Property Renovation Project Effectively
"Before you begin with any physical works, it is vital to have the big picture and a long-term vision in place. Taking the time in the beginning and creating a really detailed and well-thought-out plan will help with getting accurate building costs before you start the renovation, it will eliminate the need to make rushed (and possibly bad or regretful) decisions, and at the end of your renovation, you will (hopefully!) end up with a consistent look and feel throughout your home that is every bit what you imagined it would be!" – Robin van Den Driessche – Architect & Founder at RVdD Arquitectura
Renovation & Construction Works and Construction Surveys
Often it is not possible to get an accurate idea of the cost or extent of renovation until the property has been acquired and a proper evaluation of the structural integrity and foundations of the existing building has been made. It is advisable to obtain a full building survey at the time of purchase to gain a better understanding of the structural and superficial works that need to be considered.
This information can then be used by architects and construction workers before carrying out the necessary work, when renovating your home.
Remember that there is almost always a solution to most structural problems. While these may cause an increase in your renovation budget, identifying them early will allow you to plan better and make the right future decisions.
In Spain it is usually an architect or a technical architect (Arquitecto Técnico) that can carry out the necessary Construction Surveys.
Choosing the Right Architects and Contractors
As mentioned in the introduction, the use of an architect is an invaluable asset to any renovation project and should not be regarded as an optional "extra". The reality is that many of those direct client-builder renovations without an architect or project manager end up with legal problems (extensions without a licence, fines), with construction problems due to poor execution (without a technician to supervise), with cost overruns (without economic control and hidden commissions). Apart from their role in literally managing and overseeing the entire renovation project from start to finish, their experience and training gives them the unique ability to see things from the widest possible perspective. A recommended architect like RVdD Arquitectura can make a real difference to the project, focusing on the finest details while keeping in mind the larger impact of the entire design. Additionally, under the Spanish building regulations and laws, an architect is initially responsible for ensuring that all safety measures are followed during renovation projects.
To choose a suitable architect or builder, it is advisable to ask for demonstrable references such as photos and plans of renovations already carried out, and if possible ask for photos of before and after the renovation. In them you will be able to see the architect’s ability to transform spaces, and the quality and level of detail of the builder. If they also come recommended by someone you trust (a family member or friend who has already worked with them), it will be a great advantage and a sign of confidence on which to rely.
Extra Tip from Robin:
To carry out a quantity survey of the work is essential in order to be able to compare quotes from different builders. Without them, extra work will appear as you go along and the final budget will go up, which could have been avoided with a more accurate forecast.
BeforeAfter
2. Creating an Efficient Timeline
A typical renovation schedule depends on the type of project and on the location of the property. To estimate a deadline and create an overall timeline, three things should be taken into account.
Management of Permits and Licences in the public administration
The management of permits and licences with the public administration varies according to:
Type of renovation: If it is a simple renovation (change of interior partition walls, coverings and materials) with a "Previous Communication" (Comunicado Previo) it can be started at the same moment of notifying the Town Hall. If it is more complex (modifying the façade, habitability and number of bedrooms, or touching something structural) then an Urbanistic Licence must be applied for, and it can take from months to a couple of years.
Type of land category. If it is urban, the concession of a license is quicker than in rustic land, as in the latter the applications go through more public bodies (Consell Insular, Patrimonio, Recursos Hídricos). In urban land, for extensions, it is usually 1 – 2 years. In rustic, for extensions, 2 – 3 years.
That is why good technical/legal advice from an experienced professional is necessary from the very beginning.
Design Time
For renovation works that go beyond changes of coverings and installations, the Town Hall requires an architect’s technical project upon which the license will be based. The estimated time an architect needs to create this project will vary depending on the complexity of the renovation, for a design of a complete renovation of a house of 200-300m2, it could be around a month.
Execution Time
The final timeline of execution will always depend on the complexity of the work. As an example, for a complete renovation of a 200-300m2 property, it could take around 6-8 months.
BeforeAfter
3. Property Renovation Costs
"Renovations often cost more than expected. In most cases buying a second-hand home means that essentials like structure, façades, and installations need a full overhaul. These are costs that are often forgotten as the focus tends to be on the more "beautifying" aesthetic changes you envision for your new home. Here your architect should thoroughly assess your property’s bare necessities and provide you with a detailed list of recommended works and associated costs. This way, you have a clear idea of how much of your budget is left for the more "superficial" changes that you envisioned." – Robin, Architect & Founder at RVdD Arquitectura
Accurate Idea of Initial Costs
It’s so important to consider all the possible costs involved. Of course, the cost of renovating a house in Ibiza is harder to estimate than the cost of a new build, because until you start, you don’t always know what you’re up against.
An accurate idea of the cost of the renovation can initially be estimated by professionals, however, often it can only be gained once the work has already started, and you can properly assess the structural integrity and foundations of the existing building.
Ongoing & Extra Cost
Regardless of your budget, you should always allow for a margin for unforeseen items that will not become apparent until after the work has begun.
When obtaining estimated costs, consider site preparation, foundation, professional fees, finishes, installations, landscaping, garden, pool, and taxes.
Always clarify whether it is a fixed price for a clearly defined task, or an estimate based on currently available information (which may increase dramatically as the actual scope of the project becomes clear). Before you take the plunge, keep in mind that aside from the work involved in renovating a home, there are many additional costs that you should factor in.
4. Legal Information: Local Laws and Regulations for Renovations in Ibiza
"Before embarking on your home renovation journey in Ibiza it is absolutely essential to familiarise yourself with the local urbanistic laws and regulations. Especially here in Ibiza, where even small works require prior declarations or building permits from the town hall. Consult with your architect, in order to be fully informed and aware of possible limitations that might affect your design ideas." – – Robin, Architect & Founder at RVdD Arquitectura
Legal Information: Licenses & Permits
If you are looking for a property to renovate in Ibiza, you must make sure that the local authority Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) has issued the relevant permits.
In some cases, your chosen architect will need to provide detailed plans for the building project.
Permits and licenses are required for the following projects:
For a simple renovation (coverings and installation replacement), you do not need a license and with a "Previous Communication" (Comunicación Previa) you can start works immediately.
For any other type of renovations that include changing the interior layout, structural modifications and façade modifications, an Urbanistic Licence will be required.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, to try to facilitate the administrative procedures, if the renovation is on urban category land, in existing buildings that are legal, the architect can present a "Declaration of Responsibility" (Declaración Responsable) together with the technical project, and start the works immediately (similar to the "Previous Communication"). In this case, the architect assumes and justifies that the renovation complies with the regulations, and can therefore start immediately.
In order to understand the possibilities and limitations of the renovation in question, you (or your chosen architect) must understand and analyse the scenario based on the urban laws and regulations that apply. Each of Ibiza’s five municipalities has its own rules, a "PGOU" or "Normas Subsidiarias". Then there are specific rules within each municipality with Partial Plans, Areas of Action and Detailed Studies that affect some specific areas, which are specific rules only for those areas. And above all, there is the "PTIE" which is a regional regulation of the Consell that regulates above all the rustic land and protects the landscape.
Apart from that there are other state or regional regulations on agricultural land, coastal areas, etc. that also need to be taken into consideration.
In terms of urbanistic laws and regulations it might be fair to say that Ibiza is one of the most complex regions in the whole of Spain. On order to analyse and understand the existing scenario you need to have an experienced professional at your side who understands all the intricate levels on which these laws and regulations operate. Therefore, we would like to reiterate how strongly we recommend working with a trusted, local architect.
Extra Tip from Robin:
Ensure that both the architects and the contractors have their own insurance in place before they start work on your project. Not only for safety and to protect yourself from personal liability, but also because if you are financing the purchase and the renovation through your bank, only approved tradesmen in Spain are allowed to carry out building works (this ensures they have the correct insurance).

Private Jets in times of Covid-19: Meet Global Jet
Both commercial airlines and the general travel industry have been immensely impacted across the globe due to the effects of COVID-19. However, significant trends in the private jet industry and the luxury travel sector have actually demonstrated relatively positive impressions.
COVID-19 is subsequently changing the way those with disposable incomes view and approach travel today. Previously, flying privately was considered a grand experience, perhaps even unnecessary, even for those who have the finances to grant it. But, with COVID-19, flying privately has become a valuable asset, moving away from 1st class or business commercial flights directly into fractional ownership, full ownership and jet charter travel through private aircraft.
Similarly, whilst the rest of the world has experienced a halt in the travel industry related to hotels, package deals, rentals and holiday destination accommodation, the luxury travel sector in Ibiza has followed the same trend of increase. The interest in travel both through private means of transportation, luxury holiday villas for tourism purposes, as well as those seeking to purchase a new overseas-home, in a more natural environment, away from the inconveniences of the large metropoles, has in fact grown during the health crisis.
The company Global Jet have experienced first-hand the rapid movement in the private jet sector since the pandemic and have been working behind the scenes to ensure their services are at the very top of their industry. We are happy to introduce Global Jet to you as one of our partners and share some of their services that await you.
Global Jet has begun the summer 2021 by launching a brand-new website in English. A French, Spanish, Russian and Chinese version will be shortly available as well. It has been designed with a modern and new look with more functionalities and with more interactivities.
All Global Jet services are highlighted in an intuitive way where the end-user can easily understand their philosophy, high standards and activities.
The Charter & Brokerage side of the company has been highlighted through the website and gives the users the opportunity to directly request charter quotes online. From very light, mid-size and long-range jets, right through to VIP airliners, all aircraft are listed and are available for rent. Their dedicated brokers will find precisely what you are looking for at the best price available.
Users will discover Global Jet’s touch by seeing professional photos of aircraft’s, 3D virtual tours, videos, floorplans, range maps and other new functionalities.
The Aircraft Sales & Acquisitions page will allow a better search of the aircraft thanks to the new filter functionalities (Year, Price, Manufacturer). Moreover, the Aircraft Sale Process and Aircraft Acquisition Process are highlighted in order to bring full transparency to the client.
Furthermore, Global Jet has been very active in the development and implementation of their new brand identity.
Charter & Brokerage
Global Jet’s brokers are trained to find the most competitive flight solutions to fit your needs, while putting your safety first. No matter where you are in the world, a Global Jet specialist will be on hand to offer local knowledge on everything 24/7.
In the first semester 2021, Global Jet was proud to announce the latest additions to the charter fleet, a Falcon 2000LXS (based in Madrid) and a Global Express XRS. The Global Express XRS is designed to welcome 14 passengers with optimum comfort. The private jet is divided into three large zones, offering guests a maximum level of functionalities, luxury and relaxation.
Furthermore, the second semester of 2021 is promising with already 3 new aircraft in the pipeline for commercial operation.
A new web-cloud-based aviation software (LEON) has been implemented in the Charter & Brokerage team in order to gain efficiency and to support flight operations and scheduling. This new program will enable the sales, crews and operation teams to be even more reactive towards the clients and by always finding them the best solution regarding their needs. This tool streamlines and centralizes into one process the tasks from the different departments involved in booking and executing a flight. This allows the teams to process flight requests and answer questions swiftly with a high level of accuracy. Clients will also have access to the tool to monitor the state of their flights or flight requests, avoiding the need to wait for an answer. This new software is a significant added value for the company. Moreover, Global Jet has invested heavily these past 6 months into upgrading the LEON software to its specific requirements where they also introduced new accurate route calculation features where clients will benefit from.
Aircraft Management
Today Global Jet counts more than 70 aircraft under their fleet and about 10 aircraft in the pipeline, including a BBJ, a Falcon 7X, a Challenger 300 and a brand-new Gulfstream 650ER. Global Jet’s growth doesn’t stop there, since the beginning of the year 2021, they have already entered in their fleet a Global Express XRS (also for commercial operation), a Gulfstream 550, a Global 6500 and a Global 7500.
They continue to expand and enlarge their fleet with new types of aircraft. Even though 2020 / 2021 were tough years following COVID-19, they remain solid and have shown stable growth.
Aircraft Sales & Acquisitions
The market has picked up strongly this year 2021. At least we can say that the Aircraft Sales have been successful for the company in the past few months. In terms of sales, just to mention a few, three Global 6000, a Falcon 900DX Easy, a Falcon 2000LX, an Airbus ACJ318 ELITE, a Gulfstream 450 and a Legacy 650 have been recently sold thanks to the company’s expertise and the proactive and dedicated sales team. A number of transactions continue in the sales pipeline with the aim of completing the deals before the end of the year. Following this positive and ascending phase, Global Jet has managed to achieve new aircraft sale mandates including the most recent ones – a Global 6000 and a 2020 Global 6500 off-market. Two exceptional aircraft with low hours.
Aircraft sales also launched a new look across their marketing collateral, including advertising and aircraft specifications. The main purpose of the change was to further reinforce their high level of service, innovation, professionalism and is aligned with the new website identity.
Finally, in terms of Aircraft Acquisitions, Global Jet has acquired in the past few months a Pilatus PC24, a Global 5000, a Global 6000 and a brand-new Challenger 350 with a delivery in 2022.
Design & Completion Management
Once again, Global Jet confirms its leading position in the niche market of wide body completion management projects. In December 2020, a Boeing B787 was successfully delivered. This complex project was entirely managed by Global Jet from design coordination to the completion supervision at Lufthansa Technique to the final delivery to the client.
Furthermore, to continue on this ascending phase, they have also effectively delivered a VVIP Airbus 320 in February 2021 and are planning to finalize the completion and delivery of another VVIP Boeing B787 by December 2021.
These achievements are another milestone for Global Jet!
Operations
Global Jet has recently (Autumn 2020) obtained the Aruban AOC (P4) for commercial operation. The process of obtaining this AOC was very intense and the level requested was above any standard they have previously experienced. This achievement further demonstrates their high level of performance and is another added value for their clients. Today, Global Jet already has three aircraft under the Aruban AOC including an ACJ330 VIP, ACJ319 and B737 Cargo.
Their success doesn’t stop there, Global Jet is also proud to announce the obtention of their Polar route Approval for Global Jet Aruba. In fact, they are the first and only operator in Aruba and one of the few business jet operators in the world to hold and perform polar route operations, which helps to significantly reduce flight times! This means that they can fly straight over the North Pole and therefore optimize flight plans.
Global Jet continues to expand, 2021 is filled with new and interesting projects that will be shared during the year. Stay tuned for more…
