Properties for Sale and for Rent in San Juan de Labritja

Sant Joan de Labritja is located on the north of the island, bordering Sant Antoni de Portmany in the west, and Santa Eulalia del Rio in the south and east. The area occupies 121.60 km² with the island’s smallest municipality population of only 6,200 inhabitants of the total population of 147,914. 

The municipality of Sant Joan de Labritja is typically characterised by its expansive rural areas and farmland. The unspoilt rustic municipality boasts a main central village, San Juan and three surrounding villages, San Miguel, San Lorenzo and San Vicente.

Each small village comes with its own unique beauty and tranquil atmosphere, with typical Ibizan white-washed buildings, marked with traditional white churches and a beautiful array, even if only small, of restaurants, local bars and community shops.  

Additionally, Sant Joan de Labritja accounts for some of the island’s most outstanding and picturesque beaches. Simply driving around the hills and mountain cliff tops of the area offers extraordinary landscape and sea views, that are, in some spots, quite different to the rest of the island.  

The culture, community, and style of the municipality is reasonably diverse with both locals and international residents. Buying a property in the area of San Juan offers many opportunities for families, couples, holiday home buyers, and in particular nature lovers, with both plenty of authentic charm and modern villas in exclusive cliff top locations. The area boasts pleasant small local communities, plenty of unspoiled countryside, vast landscapes and often attracts high profile clients looking for exclusive and private country homes in Ibiza.  

Although much of the area is rural countryside, home buyers looking to buy a property in Sant Joan de Labritja can be typically sub-categorized into three distinctive areas; the north coast (Benirras, Puerto de San Miguel, Cala Xarraca, Portinatx, Cala San Vicente), the four small villages (San Juan, San Miguel, San Lorenzo, San Vicente), and the surrounding countryside.

North Coast

The north coast of Sant Joan de Labritja naturally attracts clientele pursuing luxury country homes, but also those specifically looking for exclusive cliff top villas which offer outstanding sea, and where possible, sunset views. High profile clients, families and second holiday home buyers are popular property seekers on the north coast, especially those who wish to be close to the area’s beaches, yet prefer to live or vacate in a more secluded and remote part of the island.  

Those seeking properties for sale in the north coast of Ibiza can expect to be on the property ‘waiting list’.  As with the majority of the municipality, finding a property in Benirras, Cala Xarraca, Portinatx, Puerto de San Miguel or Cala San Vicente is difficult and comes with high interest from a list of clients. 

Countryside

The surrounding countryside spots of Sant Juan offer clients and visitors the simplicity of a charming rural lifestyle who share a love for the great outdoors, nature walks and are incredibly keen buyers of fincas, renovated farmhouses as well as the occasional modern exclusive hilltop villas.  

Many homes for sale or on offer as rental villas in the countryside offer a quiet and private lifestyle home to retreat to, with vast landscapes and opportunities for farmland for animals, like horses, as well as personal agriculture. 

The property market within the north of the island, specifically the rural countryside has seen an increase in demand and a ‘boom’ in the rise of housing prices over the past few years.  With popularity moving towards the trending rural Ibiza, and recent road improvements to the area (which have made distances into the main towns and surrounding villages more accessible), many high-end clients are seen to be shifting preference to buy a property in the north, instead of South.
