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

Having built up reliable connections and collaborations on the island, we launched our brand new concierge services in 2022, ensuring the finest service on the island.

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!

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.

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 witha 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.
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!
How can I start the property search in Ibiza and get the right help to take the next step?
With the right mindset and assistance, anything is possible on this beautiful White Isle. Get the job done right by hiring an experienced and professional agent. It would be our pleasure to fulfil this role for you at Prestige Properties.

Everything you need to know about selling your property in Ibiza
Placing your Ibiza property on the market has never been more advantageous, with the island’s real estate sector reaching unprecedented highs. Prestige Properties Ibiza can help you navigate the process and sell your villa or apartment at a great price with ease.
Discover the essential guide to navigating the Ibiza property market, complete with the latest trends, legal advice, and expert tips for 2025.
Ibiza Property Market 2025: Opportunities and Insights
Ibiza is not only a world renowned tourist destination but also a top choice for international buyers seeking family homes, holiday retreats, or solid investments. The island’s mild climate, stunning beaches, vibrant atmosphere, unique character, excellent schools, and high standard of living all contribute to strong, ongoing demand.
Despite a slight cooling in sales during 2023–2024, the market has shown remarkable resilience. Limited supply and strong demand, particularly for luxury properties, have kept prices rising. In fact, while Balearic Islands sales fell by around 2.5% in 2024, average home prices increased by 9.4%, the highest in Spain.
Today, Ibiza’s property market is shifting from the frenzy of 2021–2022 towards a more balanced pace. Yet prices remain historically high, and prime properties are still selling quickly, often within months. Experts advise that now remains a favourable moment for owners to capitalise on strong values before any adjustments occur.
Selling your property in Ibiza with a trusted and reputable agency
Choosing the right real estate agent is essential. A knowledgeable, reputable professional who understands the local market can greatly increase your chances of a smooth and successful sale. With so many agencies and independent agents on the island, it helps to keep the following in mind:
Professional credentials: Make sure your agent is properly qualified, with relevant education, certifications, and liability insurance.
Official registration: Since November 2024, all agents in the Balearic Islands must be registered in the official regional registry. This regulation helps protect consumers from unqualified operators, so always ask for an agent’s registration number.
Reputation and experience: Choose an established agency with years of local experience and positive references. A seasoned agent is more likely to price your property correctly and find a reliable buyer.
Local and international reach: Ibiza attracts an international buyer pool. Your agent should combine regional expertise with strong international marketing and networks to maximise exposure.
Working with a trusted, well connected agency ensures your property sells faster and at the best price, while also taking the stress out of viewings, negotiations, and paperwork.
How Property Prices Are Determined in Ibiza’s Real Estate Market
To achieve the best return when selling your property, setting the right asking price from the start is essential. We recommend basing it on a professional valuation from an experienced Ibiza agent. The island’s market is highly segmented, and values can vary significantly depending on factors such as property type, location, view, condition, and current buyer demand.
Key elements that influence your property’s value include:
Location: Homes in prime areas, such as frontline sea views, command higher prices. Properties inland or in less prestigious zones may be valued lower. Proximity to beaches, scenic views, and neighbourhood reputation also matter.
Property type and features: A modern villa or restored finca usually achieves a higher price per square metre than a standard apartment. Features like a pool, large plot, privacy, or architectural character can add significant value.
Condition and amenities: Turnkey properties in excellent condition are often priced at a premium, while homes needing renovation or lacking amenities are valued more conservatively. Buyers in Ibiza, particularly at the upper end, pay more for quality finishes and immediate availability.
Market conditions: Supply and demand at the time of sale will affect your achievable price. Scarcity of similar properties can push prices up, while softer demand requires more realistic pricing.
In 2024, the average price in Ibiza was around €7,300 per m², with a wide range: from about €5,000 per m² to €15,000–€17,000 per m² for the most exclusive properties. Apartments averaged roughly €6,500 per m², while villas and estates often exceeded €10,000 per m². This highlights how much location and property characteristics matter.
A professional valuation is vital to capture these variables and set a competitive price that attracts buyers while maximising your return. Contact us for a free valuation, our dedicated team will offer a reliable assessment with no strings attached, informed by the latest market trends.
The Legal and Tax Essentials of Selling Property in Ibiza
Selling property in Spain involves several legal steps, as well as specific taxes and costs. Every sale must be formalised with a public deed signed before a notary, who verifies that the property is free of debts, the paperwork is correct, and the title is properly registered. If you cannot attend the signing, a Power of Attorney can be arranged. You will also need to provide an Energy Performance Certificate and other supporting documents.
Given the complexity, most sellers choose to work with a qualified lawyer who can prepare the forms, manage tax filings, and even represent you if you are not on the island. Key taxes and costs for sellers:
Municipal Capital Gains Tax: A local tax on the increase in land value during your ownership, capped at 20 years. If you sell at a loss, no tax applies.
Capital Gains Tax (CGT): Charged on the profit from your sale. Rates vary depending on whether you are resident or non-resident, with possible exemptions or deductions.
3% withholding for non-residents: Buyers must withhold 3% of the purchase price and pay it directly to the tax office. This is offset against your final CGT bill.
Professional fees: The seller usually pays the agency commission a percentage of the sale price and legal fees (often around 1%). If there is a mortgage, banks may charge a small cancellation fee.
Although the process can seem complex, with the right support it is very manageable. If you’d like to know more about property taxes, our Ibiza Real Estate Tax Guide 2025 offers a clear overview of the key costs and legal requirements.

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.
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:
Cine Regio. San Antonio’s historical and extravagant local cinema
Aquarium Cap Blanc. A natural aquarium inside an underwater cave with typical Ibiza marine species
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.
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.

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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The region of San Antoni de Portmany is incredibly diverse and possibly less tourism-oriented than clients may initially believe. Despite the lower demand for luxury and exclusive properties, there is still a great deal of opportunity to maximise value by looking beyond the more well-known places.If you are considering buying a villa in the San Antonio area, why not browse our available exclusive properties?

Close by is Marina Botafoch, well-known for its yachts, motorboats, and affluent lifestyle. Lastly, two main beaches, Talamanca and Figueretas, are popular with tourists.
Ibiza’s capital city is a great place to purchase a property for families, couples, retirees, singles, and clients looking for a high-profile home. Here we’ll explore each sub-area in more detail, focusing on the client appeal and property style.
Buying a property in Dalt Vila, Ibiza Old Town
There is no doubt that Dalt Vila is Ibiza’s top tourist attraction. Listed as a World Heritage Site, the Old Town is home to beautiful historical architecture, castle grounds, and the central Roman Catholic Cathedral, Santa Maria d’Eivissa. You can reach Dalt Vila by the old stone drawbridge, which leads directly onto Plaza de Vila, with its winding cobblestone streets, bars, restaurants, and boutiques. The journey to the mountaintop offers plenty of authenticities and beautiful views, encompassing the town below, La Marina, Ses Salines, and even Formentera.
The real estate market in Dalt Vila is very competitive. Depending on size and renovation status, apartments or triplex homes here are exceedingly expensive compared to the modern extension. The area has some beautifully state-of-the-art authentic properties with interesting novel-like architecture and interiors. Dalt Vila buyers tend to be those who appreciate historical architecture and life in the centre of the city’s vibrant culture, especially during the height of summer. Along with the gorgeous town and distant views of the blue sea, buying a property in the old town will allow you to take full advantage of the city’s best attractions.
Buying a property in the modern extension of Ibiza Town & Can Misses
In Ibiza Town (extension), you will find a central square called Vara de Rey, the Marina harbour-front promenade, authentic whitewashed buildings, and row upon row of bars, restaurants, and shops. There are plenty of stores, banks, pharmacies, grocery stores, and anything else you might regularly need within walking distance.
Most properties in Ibiza Town are apartment complexes, both old and new. The town centre of Ibiza offers more opportunities for apartment buyers than other parts of the city, especially older buildings. Most properties in the city centre extension are sought by couples or singles who are already residents, usually island workers that require an affordable, convenient and quickly accessible property.
Can Misses is a part of Ibiza Town’s city centre, specifically the northwest outskirts surrounding the city extension, adjacent to the highway. This location is ideal for those who wish to be close to the city centre. Apartments here are an excellent choice for those looking for a peaceful environment away from all the tourist noise.

Only a few minutes’ drive away, you’ll find the VIP area of Marina Botafoch, complete with motorboats, yachts, and an incredibly luxurious array of apartments and penthouses. With a total of 428 moorings, Marina Botafoch also consists of a large boathouse, a gas station, and a stunning port with various upmarket restaurants and designer shops.

Marina Botafoch has some of the most luxurious apartment buildings in Ibiza, so it attracts a broad range of clients looking for rentals and for-sale properties, especially high-profile families and individuals seeking security and concierge services. Penthouse properties here can start at around 1 million euros upwards.
Buying a property near the beaches of Talamanca & Figueretas
Talamanca is a small resort near the centre of the city which offers a cosmopolitan and trendy lifestyle to both tourists and long-term residents. Specifically, Talamanca Bay is the most popular beach in Ibiza Town. Talamanca is home to several contemporary and authentic villas in a Mediterranean style, as well as several new apartment complexes. The most desirable larger-scale villas for sale or rent typically have breathtaking sea views and appeal to the lifestyle holiday home and buy-to-let market. Talamanca also appeals to those looking for family-friendly apartments near the beach, with easy access to nurseries and schools while still within easy reach of the city’s conveniences like coffee shops and eateries.
Ses Figueretes, Ibiza Town’s second most famous beach, offers a recently renovated promenade and a vibrant resort close to Playa d’en Bossa. There are a variety of hotels, bars and restaurants in the area, as well as regular ferries to Ibiza Old Town during the summer. Figueretas is most popular with young couples and families looking for properties for sale or vacation homes at a more affordable price (compared to Talamanca). With a great local community atmosphere, it is easy to feel at home in a small city resort like Figueretas.
In summary, Ibiza Town extension, Can Misses and Figueretas offer plenty of opportunities for young couples and locals alike to find an apartment reasonably, although property prices are rising. Those areas such as Marina Botafoch, Talamanca and the Old Town are both popular but pricey, which appeal to a higher-profile and cosmopolitan clientele, particularly second-home buyers or investors in buy-to-rent apartments.
