Spain’s New Single Rental Registry: Everything You Need to Know
As of 1 July 2025, a major change is arriving for property owners in Spain. The Single Rental Registry becomes mandatory for all individuals or companies renting out residential units on a temporary rental basis. The initiative seeks to bring structure and legal clarity to the expanding market of properties offered for short stays. It also ensures that online listings comply with local and national regulations, protecting both property owners and tenants alike.
Why Has the Single Rental Registry Been Introduced?
The rise of holiday rentals across Spain, particularly in tourist heavy cities and coastal areas, and the Balearic and Canary Islands, has outpaced traditional regulation. Many residences are listed on platforms without the proper paperwork, licenses, or tax declarations.
This registry allows authorities to:
Track which properties are being rented out and under what terms
Identify non compliant listings
Prevent fraud, illegal subletting, and tax evasion
Better manage housing supply in saturated regions
Ultimately, the registry empowers public administrations to make better informed decisions regarding housing policy and urban development.
Who Needs to Register in Spain’s Single Rental Registry?
All individuals or entities providing temporary or holiday accommodation.
The new requirement applies to all landlords, regardless of whether they are private individuals or part of a larger rental business.
Specifically, you must register if:
You rent out entire flats (not permitted in Ibiza) or houses for short periods
You rent individual rooms within a property
You provide temporary housing (not primary residences) on any platform, including Airbnb, Booking, Vrbo and others
Even occasional rentals fall under the scope of this law. If you advertise a property for short stays, you must be registered.
What Happens If You Do Not Register?
Failure to register means:
Your property cannot be legally advertised on rental platforms
Your listing may be suspended or removed by the platfor
You could face administrative sanctions, including fine
You may be flagged for tax investigations or face legal action
The goal is not to punish honest landlords, but to create a fair and level playing field.
How to Register Your Property
The process has been designed to be accessible and user friendly.
Property owners may choose between two methods:
Online Registration
Visit the Electronic Office of the College of Registrars
Log in using a recognised digital certificate
Complete and submit the online form
Upload any required documents
In-Person Registration
Locate the Property Registry office that corresponds to your property’s geographical location
Present your documents physically
Complete the application with the assistance of a registrar
Once validated, you will receive an identification code that must be included in all listings and advertisements.
What Information and Documents Are Required?
Full address of the property
Cadastral reference number (from the land registry)
Identity information of the owner or legal representative
Clarification on whether the rental applies to the entire property or specific rooms
The maximum number of occupants allowed
Proof of relevant municipal licenses, where applicable
In some cases, documentation regarding community regulations or tourism authorisations may be required
These records ensure that your property meets local safety, zoning and tourism criteria.
Why This Registry Matters for Property Owners
While it might feel like an additional administrative burden, the registry comes with clear advantages:
Legitimises your rental business and protects it from sanctions
Ensures your listings stay visible on the largest platforms
Demonstrates transparency and builds trust with tenants
Reduces unfair competition from unregistered or non compliant landlords
Helps avoid legal disputes by clearly defining usage terms
For professional landlords, it is also a tool to consolidate their portfolios and maintain accurate records.
Avoid Hassle by Taking Early Action
The implementation of the Single Rental Registry is not simply administrative, it is a cultural shift in how Spain manages its seasonal rental sector. The earlier you begin the registration process, the smoother the transition will be. Delays in compliance could result in missed income opportunities and potential penalties.
Make sure your property is listed legally and securely.

Ibiza Summer Vehicle Access Regulations: What Tourists Need to Know
New Seasonal Vehicle Limits Introduced
Ibiza now enforces strict summer vehicle access rules from 1 June to 30 September each year. These measures, first introduced in 2025, aim to alleviate traffic and promote environmental sustainability.
Bringing Your Own Vehicle: Permit Required
All tourists wishing to bring a vehicle, such as a car or campervan, must obtain a vehicle access pass in advance. Permits cost one euro per day and are available via the official platform Ibiza Circular. This pass links to the vehicle’s registration and is mandatory for disembarking at Ibiza’s port.
Integration with Ferry Bookings
Most ferry companies now integrate the permit into the booking process, but if yours does not, you must apply via IbizaCircular.es in advance.
Confirmation: Tourists receive a digital certificate or sticker to prove vehicle authorisation.
Limited availability: If the quota is full, additional permits will not be issued. Early planning is strongly recommended.
Vehicle Quota Breakdown
Rental cars: Up to 16,000 permitted. The local rental fleet cannot expand beyond this number.
Private tourist vehicles: Approximately 4,100 spots for cars brought by tourists.
Formentera residents: Around 120 permits allocated specifically for these individuals.
Motorcycles and mopeds: Exempt from the permit system.
Exemptions
The following categories are exempt from the new permit system:
Ibiza residents: Vehicles registered on the island are not subject to limitations.
Second homeowners: Permitted one vehicle, with proof of ownership required.
Workers from other Balearic Islands: Must provide employment documentation.
Essential services and freight: Includes public service, emergency, and delivery vehicles.
Disabled travellers: Vehicles serving individuals with reduced mobility.
Transit to Formentera: Vehicles using Ibiza as a transit point.
Car Rental Policies
Rental agencies must comply with the 16,000 vehicle limit. Tourists hiring a car do not need to manage permits themselves. Availability could be tight during peak periods, so advance booking is advisable.
Campervan Regulations
Travellers bringing campervans must:
Obtain a permit as required for other vehicles.
Provide proof of a confirmed camping site reservation.
Wild camping is strictly prohibited, and failure to comply may result in denied entry at the port.
Driving Within Ibiza
Once on the island with an authorised vehicle, tourists may drive freely. There are no specific restrictions on road access, but:
Parking zones in towns are regulated and may require special passes.
Beach access may be limited when parking areas are full.
Enforcement and Penalties
Fines of up to thirty thousand euros may apply for failing to follow the regulations. Oversight will be conducted through ferry controls and on island monitoring. Rental agencies also face sanctions for exceeding their vehicle allocations.
Purpose of the Regulations
These changes respond to growing concerns over traffic congestion, overtourism, and environmental degradation. Ibiza is seeking a more sustainable tourism model by encouraging public transport and environmentally friendly travel methods.
Plan Ahead and Travel Responsibly
Visitors planning to drive in Ibiza this summer should secure a permit in advance via IbizaCircular.es. They are also encouraged to consider alternative transport options such as buses, bicycles or scooters, which provide a more relaxed way to explore the island. Those who do not meet exemption criteria or are unable to obtain a permit should avoid bringing a vehicle altogether.
Ibiza’s efforts aim to balance the island’s natural beauty with its popularity as a top destination. Responsible travel will help preserve the island for years to come.

Is 2025 a Good Time to Buy a Property in Ibiza?
The Ibiza property market demonstrated remarkable resilience through 2024, maintaining its status as one of Spain’s most robust and premium real estate destinations. Property prices on the White Isle reached record highs last year, even as transaction volumes showed a slight cooldown.
This subtle shift has many prospective buyers wondering: is 2025 a favourable time to invest in Ibiza property? In this updated analysis, we review the latest sales trends, price developments, buyer profiles, and expert forecasts to determine if current conditions make 2025 a good time to buy a home in Ibiza..
The General Balearic and Spanish Property Market Over the Past Decade and in 2025
The Balearic Islands and broader Spanish property market have shown impressive resilience and sustained growth over the past decade. After reaching a post crisis peak in 2017, prices and sales remained relatively steady, only dipping slightly in 2019–2020 amid broader global uncertainties. Subsequent to the pandemic, there was a renewed surge in buying activity, with 2021–2022 marking a boom in sales and price acceleration.
In 2024, however, the market began to recalibrate. Sales volumes across the Balearics declined by approximately 2.5%, even as prices continued to rise, with average home prices in the region climbing by 9.4% on an annual basis, the highest increase in all of Spain. This indicates a market in transition: less frenzied than before, but still robust. Experts suggest that this shift allows for a healthier and more sustainable pace moving into 2025.
Although the volume of transactions has softened, demand for property, especially in upscale areas like Ibiza, remains high, driven by low supply, lifestyle appeal, and international investment interest. For buyers and sellers alike, 2025 presents a more balanced environment than recent years, where thoughtful deliberation and market awareness can offer real advantages.
Ibiza’s Luxury Housing Market 2025 with Prestige Properties
Amidst ongoing geopolitical and economic uncertainty, Ibiza’s luxury housing market continues to demonstrate impressive strength. As one of Europe’s most desirable destinations, Ibiza continues to see strong demand from international buyers seeking a lifestyle investment with proven durability.
The market is progressing at a more measured rate, with values continuing to increase and buyer interest remaining strong. The average price per square metre now exceeds €7,000, with prime luxury villas in standout locations commanding well over €10,000 per m². Compared to 2018, this represents an overall price growth of approximately 17%, reflecting both the island’s exclusivity and the enduring appeal of its real estate market.
While transaction volumes dipped slightly in 2024 compared to the recovery upswing of 2021–2022, the market remains stable. Buyers have become more discerning, and many sellers have responded by adjusting their asking prices. The result is a shift towards a more balanced market, with greater room for negotiation and more realistic pricing strategies emerging across the board.
Our Prestige Properties Ibiza’s sales data from 2024 calculated:
Around 18% of buyers in 2024 purchased a first home, reflecting Ibiza’s shift from seasonal retreat to primary residence.
Over 50% of purchases in 2024 were second homes, continuing the island’s tradition as a holiday haven for global buyers.
Buyer enquiries declined by 17% annually, from 2,800 in 2023 to 2,300 in 2024, indicating a normalisation following record demand.
Despite these shifts, the luxury segment is still thriving, especially in exclusive locations where scarcity of supply and strong rental yields support prices. Our specialists report that attractive, competitively priced homes continue to sell quickly, with more than half of their listings closing in under three months in 2024.
Our 2025 Forecast: Is Now a Good Time to Buy a Property in Ibiza?
As we move further into 2025, Ibiza’s real estate market appears more balanced and mature than in recent years. While the strongly seller-focused conditions of 2020 to 2022 have eased, the island remains one of Europe’s most stable and appealing property markets, particularly for lifestyle buyers and enduring investors.
Current trends point towards continued price stability with moderate growth, particularly in the prime segment. Experts anticipate a five to ten percent price increase over the remainder of 2025, supported by sustained international demand, extremely limited supply, and Ibiza’s sustained lifestyle appeal.
Although sales volumes have softened slightly, this recalibration is widely viewed as a healthy correction, allowing both buyers and sellers to reconnect with more clarity and flexibility. Buyers are no longer facing the competitive rush of previous years, and sellers who price their properties realistically are still achieving strong outcomes.
Its consistent performance over time continues to set Ibiza apart. Even during broader economic slowdowns, the island’s property values have steadily rebounded, often surpassing previous peaks. For patient capital investors, this pattern offers reassurance that any temporary market fluctuations are unlikely to undermine Ibiza’s fundamental value.
Whether you are planning for retirement, a second residence, or an investment with strong rental potential, 2025 presents a compelling opportunity. Buyers now benefit from greater negotiating power, a wider selection of properties, and a market environment that has moved away from unsustainable intensity. At the same time, they gain access to one of Europe’s most coveted property destinations.
As always, we recommend keeping up with current market developments, working alongside knowledgeable local experts, and aligning your decisions with your personal goals and prolonged strategic outlook. With the right preparation, 2025 could be the ideal year to secure your place in Ibiza’s thriving property market.
We would be more than happy to talk you through Ibiza’s Real Estate potential.

Ibiza & Balearic Island Real Estate Market Report 2024 & Forecast 2025
In 2024 Ibiza’s luxury real estate market has once again proven its resilience and an ability to adapt, reinforcing its reputation as one of the world’s most sought-after investment destinations. In line with our predictions in last year’s market forecast, 2024 marked a slight transition towards a buyer’s market —while prices remained high, the supply of available properties increased, and demand showed signs of stabilising.
On the other hand, our prediction of stabilising sales numbers were met with a surprise increase in sales numbers and volume, at least here at Prestige Properties. Despite global economic uncertainties, shifting geopolitical landscapes, and financial market fluctuations, the island, perhaps not surprisingly, continues to attract high-net-worth investors, international buyers, families, and lifestyle-driven homeowners seeking this perfect mix of security, exclusivity, and high-value assets not many places offer.
Balearic Islands’ Housing Market 2024
The Balearic Islands—particularly Ibiza—have consistently demonstrated their strength in overcoming market downturns, emerging stronger with each cycle. A combination of relative market stability, evolving buyer preferences, and sustained demand has shaped the property industry in recent years, making the Balearic Islands, and specifically Ibiza, a prime location for real estate investment.
2024 marked a year of stabilisation for property sales in the Balearic Islands. Graph (I) below, shows that after the post-COVID peak in 2022, 2023 saw a decline in property sales, which then stabilised in 2024, returning to pre-COVID levels.
Who buys property in Ibiza?
The Ibiza market presents exciting opportunities for investors and other types of buyers alike. With a limited yet highly desirable property supply, Ibiza remains a safe haven for both short and long-term investment. As Ibiza further solidifies its global position as a premier real estate destination, new possibilities await those looking to secure a stake in this thriving market. Whether as a second home, a secure long-term asset, or a high-yield investment, Ibiza offers unparalleled opportunities in 2025 and beyond.
As our internal statistics show, in 2024 over half our clients were buyers of "Second homes" ( or holiday homes) to enjoy with their family and friends. A new trend this year was a significant increase in "First Home" buyers, which in this context refers to buyers buying property which they will use as their primary residence and not just a holiday home. This is in line with Ibiza attracting an ever increasing clientele of international families choosing to permanently settle on the island, and seeing their children grow up in nature, sun and beach proximity.
Clients whose sole reason for buying is for "Investment Purposes" keep strong at over 20% of all buyers.
As mentioned above, Ibiza’s property market has consistently showcased exceptional durability and flexibility, elevating its profile as a hotspot investment center. This enduring robustness stems from several elements that collectively uphold the island’s real estate sector.
Luxury and lifestyle properties remain in high demand, attracting affluent buyers from Europe and beyond, drawn to Ibiza’s natural beauty, high-end amenities, and vibrant cultural scene. At the same time, strict urban planning regulations and limited land availability help control excessive growth and prevent market over-saturation.

A Market in Transition: Moving Toward a Buyer’s Market?
Following a sustained period of high demand and restricted property accessibility, Ibiza’s real estate landscape is undergoing a noticeable shift. While it remains a stronghold for luxury property investments, 2025 is shaping up to be a turning point, moving away from an extreme seller’s market towards a more balanced perspective.
Though high prices still define the market, the supply of available properties has increased, and demand has slightly declined. Although not yet fully a buyer’s market, emerging trends indicate that change is on the horizon while the scene is evolving:
Buyer Leads in 2024: 2,300 (compared to 2,800 in 2023), indicating a slight drop in demand.
Increased Listings: More properties entered the market in 2024 compared to 2023, contributing to greater buyer options.
But what does this mean for Ibiza buyers and sellers alike?
For sellers, Ibiza’s housing scene still presents significant advantages. Prices remain historically high, making now an ideal time to sell before further market adjustments take effect. Properties in prime locations and excellent condition continue to attract potential new owners quickly, with many deals closing in under three months. While demand has slightly softened compared to previous years, high-value properties remain desirable, particularly among investors seeking exclusive assets.
For buyers, 2025 introduces new opportunities as increasing inventory brings greater choice. Unlike the highly competitive seller’s market of 2022–2024, enthusiasts now hold more negotiating power, offering them better flexibility in securing favorable deals. With the ongoing increase in availability, investors and homebuyers alike may find more diverse options and improved conditions in the coming year.
Looking ahead, Ibiza’s property industry remains dynamic and full of potential. Whereas sellers can still capitalise on high prices, buyers are gaining leverage, creating a healthier equilibrium between supply and demand. As the real estate sector experiences steady growth, it will be necessary for both parties to stay adaptable as we move through this transition.
Looking Ahead: What to Expect in 2025?
Ibiza has long been recognised as one of Europe’s most desirable real estate industries, attracting those seeking exclusive properties, high-end living, and a vibrant lifestyle.
As we move into 2025, the housing trade is evolving with new trends shaping the future of the market. While uncertainty remains in global economic and political spheres, Ibiza’s reputation as a premium housing sector destination remains steadfast. The aforementioned shifting dynamics will have a significant impact on home seekers, capital investors and real estate agents in the year ahead.
Although predicting the future is never an exact science, current field data provides valuable insights. The key trends from 2024 indicate a stabilising market with a slight turn toward increased stock and more opportunities for prospective clients. However, external factors will play a crucial role in shaping the real estate overview for 2025 and beyond:
Economic and geopolitical influences: Interest rates fluctuations, ongoing global conflicts, and international policies will play a role.
Increased stock availability: More listings mean more options for buyers, potentially softening prices.
Increased recognition of Ibiza as a key player in global real estate, uniquely combining political stability, natural beauty, and expanding infrastructure to attract families and discerning international clients.
What remains certain is that Ibiza’s real estate spectrum has a long history of persistence. Even during economic transitions, property values have demonstrated a strong ability to rebound, often surpassing previous highs. This makes the island a desirable, multicultural, and highly sought-after location for investors looking for long-term stability and expansion.

Ibiza & Balearic Island Real Estate Market Report 2023 & Forecast 2024
As anticipated in our 2022 Market Report and forecast for 2023, the Ibiza real estate market experienced a modest decline in sales over the past year. This decrease can be attributed to various factors, including the global economic slowdown, geopolitical tensions such as the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and financial uncertainties stemming from inflation and rising interest rates. Despite these challenges, it’s important to note that the market has demonstrated resilience and stability.
Even with a slight dip in demand, the market has maintained a balanced outlook. While asking prices have shown an increase across the Balearics (according to data provided by Idealista), actual sales prices here at Prestige Properties Ibiza have demonstrated a decrease compared to the previous year, as evidenced by municipality prices per square metre where 4 out of 5 municipalities have experienced a decline. This suggests a potential adjustment in asking prices in the upcoming year to align with market trends observed in 2023. However, overall the Ibiza real estate sector remains robust and adaptable. Looking ahead, let’s take a closer look at our 2023 Ibiza real estate market report and predictions for 2024. Please note that this report uses internal and external data to present information on the property market in Ibiza and the Balearic Islands for 2023, along with its projected forecast for 2024.
The analysis covers the following three topics of discussion:
The Balearic Islands’ Housing Market Report for 2023
The Ibiza Luxury Housing Market Report 2023 by Prestige Properties
Predicted Forecast for 2024 by Prestige Properties Ibiza
1) The General Balearic Islands’ Housing Market Summary of 2023
The Balearic Islands have shown impressive resilience over time, as depicted in the graph below. Despite experiencing slight declines in buying / selling and property prices in 2023, the consistent pattern of rebounding after each crisis offers reassurance for long-term investors. This trend underscores the Balearics’ reputation as a secure and enduring investment destination, with the market consistently surpassing pre-crisis levels over the past decade.
2) The Ibiza Luxury Housing Market Report 2023 by Prestige Properties
As anticipated towards the end of 2022, the beginning of 2023 saw a decrease in sales, primarily due to the prevailing global economic sentiment of stagnation and a limited availability of sellers in the market.
As we can see from the graph above, the sales volumes over the past five years seem to mirror broader global economic trends: a decline in the pre-COVID years, followed by a significant surge in the post-COVID years of 2021 and 2022, and now a slight downturn. It remains to be seen whether the 2023 downturn will stabilise or if it will lead to a prolonged downward trend, or whether it is just a short-lived dip. Monitoring the market closely will provide clarity on its trajectory moving forward, but nevertheless, in comparison to 2018, the past year still has a 36% increase in sales volume. Even with a dip in sales volume over 2023, the average asking price per m2 across the whole of Spain, the Balearic Islands and Ibiza has demonstrated a steady increase.
The graph above illustrates an overall significant price increase in Spain, the Balearic Islands, and Ibiza from 2022 to 2023. However, it’s essential to clarify that these prices are based solely on advertised asking prices from the national Idealista property platform, not actual sales prices. For real sales price development in Ibiza, please refer to the graph further down in the report.
The two graphs above illustrate a slight decrease in sales inquiries (demand) alongside a significant increase in the number of properties listed for sale (supply). This indicates a gradual transition from a low supply/high demand market in 2022 to a higher supply/lower demand scenario. Despite this shift, we are still currently in a sellers’ market. The developments in the coming year will determine whether a shift towards a buyers’ market is occurring, if this trend will stabilise, or if it is merely a temporary dip. Although the 2023 data suggests the beginning of a new trend, the next two years will be pivotal in providing more insight and certainty. Monitoring and understanding the market during this period will be crucial in determining whether this shift is permanent or temporary.
Average Price per Square Metre per Municipality in Ibiza in 2023
As mentioned earlier, the change in the balance between supply and demand signals a shift in the market. Furthermore, there has been a decrease in the average price per square metre on the island, indicating a move away from a seller’s market. These figures differ from those presented by Idealista, which primarily focused on asking prices. In essence, property owners may need to reconsider their price expectations. However, this could also present an opportune moment for them to sell their property and capitalise on the evolving market conditions, potentially transitioning towards a buyer’s market.
In general, even with a decrease year-on-year we still can see an overall increase of 17% within a 5 year period (2018-2023). We have noticed a dramatic increase in demand for the municipality of San Antonio, where the average price per square metre has increased over the last few years, although it remains the most affordable municipality on the island, with many rewarding opportunities for buyers.
Eivissa (Ibiza Town) – Average Price & Price per m2 in 2023
Ibiza Town accounted for around 13.4% of our sales volume in 2023. Although the capital’s average price per square metre of 6.268,97 € was slightly lower than in 2021 and 2022, it was still significantly higher than five years ago (20% higher). The most important type of property in the capital was the apartment. In 2023, the average size of an apartment was 73 m2. The houses sold by Prestige Properties in Eivissa in 2023 had an average size of 456 m2 and an average price per m2 of 5,498€.
Sales Volume: 13,41 %

Deep Dive: Average Sales Prices of Properties that are "as new" vs "to renovate"
In 2023, Prestige Properties sold more new properties than those slated for renovation. Naturally, renovated properties typically command lower average selling prices; however, the difference per square metre between new and renovated properties is modest.
New properties are scarce in Ibiza due to limited space, stringent building regulations, and laws limiting new construction on the island. Consequently, Ibiza is appealing to buyers and investors seeking properties to renovate and resell.
Deep Dive: Reasons for Buying a Property in Ibiza
Ibiza has consistently proven itself as an exceptional investment destination, drawing interest from numerous international investors in recent years. The predominant choice among these investors has been acquiring second homes, either for leisurely holidays or as a respite from the chilly northern winters. In the year of 2023, this trend persisted, with an overwhelming majority—nearly 75%—of our clients opting for properties earmarked as their secondary (holiday) residences.
A noteworthy 14.7% of investors have strategically chosen properties for pure investment purposes, underlining the island’s allure for those seeking financial returns. Equally compelling is the fact that approximately 12% of Prestige’s clientele has chosen to invest in their primary homes, reflecting a genuine commitment to relocating, residing, and engaging in year-round endeavours within the vibrant and captivating landscape of Ibiza. The diverse preferences of our clients continue to underscore the island’s multifaceted appeal and enduring investment potential.
Deep Dive: International Interest and Percentage of Nationalities Buying in Ibiza
Ibiza attracts a diverse mix of cultures, with a significant portion of buyers hailing from European backgrounds. While the United Kingdom has traditionally been a major source, the event of Brexit saw a sharp decline in UK buyers during a period of time, however, in 2023 we see the UK buyers reclaiming their traditionally strong market share in Ibiza’s international clientele, comprising 24.4% of our buyers. However, we have also seen a shift in spending amongst UK buyers, with an increased preference for apartments as opposed to larger properties. This is reflected in the fact that UK buyers represented only 15.05% of our total sales volume.
There has been a notable increase in Spanish and Italian buyers in recent years, signalling a changing dynamic. Spanish nationals emerged as the second-largest group of buyers in 2023, accounting for 19.03% of the annual sales volume across houses, apartments, and plots with licences.
Belgian buyers, constituting 9.8% of our clientele, demonstrated the highest average spending in 2023. This discerning group contributed 18.65% of the total sales volume, showing a preference for larger properties intended as second homes. The evolving demographics of our buyers underscore the broad appeal of Ibiza and the diverse preferences shaping their investment decisions.
Deep Dive: Popular Ibiza Municipalities by Buyer’s Nationalities
In 2023, San José emerged as the top performer in terms of sales volume, accounting for 41.62% of total sales. This area has become a magnet for people of various nationalities. At Prestige, we’ve observed that it’s the most sought-after location on the island, particularly drawing the interest of investors. Meanwhile, San Antonio’s popularity has been steadily increasing over the years. Similar to 2022, in 2023, the majority of buyers were from the UK. San Antonio has become a favoured destination for UK nationals, particularly those who enjoy spending their summer vacations in Ibiza.
Deep Dive: Prestige’s Top-Selling Locations of the Year 2023
Based on the Sales Transaction Volume, the top-selling municipality in 2023 was San José, followed by Santa Eulalia and Eivissa (Ibiza Town). Considering the actual number of properties sold in each municipality, the order changes to San José (31%), Ibiza Town (24%), Santa Eulalia (19%), San Antonio (17%) and San Juan (8%).
Long-Term Rental Interest: an indicator for potential buyers
Amidst limited availability and heightened demand for long-term rental properties, Ibiza persists as a lucrative investment destination for clients pursuing buy-to-let opportunities. Furthermore, for people interested in living here all year round or relocating to Ibiza, buying a property will be more attractive and, with the right budget, easier to find than a suitable long-term rental property.
High Demand vs. increasing supply – is the market changing?
In contrast to previous years, where there was a decline in property supply, Prestige Properties has seen a significant shift in supply dynamics in 2023. The number of new properties listed with Prestige Properties increased notably by 38% compared to 2022. This trend is expected to continue into 2024, indicating a growing trend among sellers to take advantage of favourable market conditions. Amid increasing financial uncertainty and a slight decrease in sales prices, sellers are encouraged to consider selling their property now to capitalise on the current high price levels. At the same time, for prospective buyers, the expanding supply of properties offers a wider range of options to choose from, making the Ibiza real estate market more attractive.
Conclusion: The Luxury Real Estate Market Ibiza 2023
Amidst global challenges, geo-political developments and financial uncertainty, the Ibiza luxury housing market is still flourishing. As one of Europe’s most popular holiday destinations, there is a high level of interest in investing in a property here. It is well known that the Balearic Islands have a very stable real estate market with the tendency to increase prices and rebound even stronger after a global economic crisis.
We can also see that the trend continues, and Ibiza’s average price per square metre is still higher than the overall price per square metre of the Balearic Islands or the Spanish mainland.. Furthermore, the property supply is gradually increasing again, leaving the impression that the market might shift from a buyer’s to a seller’s market in the future.
3) Prestige Properties 2024 Predicted Forecast
As we cast our gaze toward 2024, the landscape of Ibiza’s real estate market points towards a potential shift to a buyer’s market, but a confirmation remains elusive due to incomplete data. The uncertainty is further fueled by geopolitical circumstances and financial insecurities, which may influence property purchases in the coming year.

Historically, Ibiza’s real estate market has exhibited resilience, with prices recovering and often surpassing previous levels after experiencing a drop. This characteristic makes the market in Ibiza intriguing for long-term investors who may view potential downturns as opportunities for future gains.
For those considering buying property in Ibiza, the island’s real estate market has demonstrated its ability to bounce back after crises, distinguishing itself from mainland Spain and other real estate markets. Ibiza’s multicultural environment, coupled with a high demand for luxury properties and holiday homes, further enhances its attractiveness for both sellers and buyers.

Is Ibiza a good place to buy a property?
Is Ibiza a good place to buy a property? The property market in Ibiza has always been reliable. There is no denying that our island’s real estate market has seen a significant influx of residents and foreign buyers, particularly in the luxury segment – and it has undoubtedly become one of the world’s top property hotspots.
Its idyllic location and high property demand have made Ibiza a safe investment for quite some time. As the current market stands, investing in a home in Ibiza makes for a secure return on investment, irrespective of whether it is residential, a second home, a villa for tourism rental purposes, or an early project phase property.
In light of Ibiza’s vibrant property market, we are excited to share our latest market update showing why Ibiza remains a great investment.
The island of Ibiza is not only an attractive investment but also one of the most sought-after locations in the world. Known for its pleasant climate year-round, natural environment, and extraordinary lifestyle, our island has much to offer. Our island’s picturesque beaches and sunsets, social networks, events, and laid-back lifestyle continue to attract many home buyers seeking a place in the sun where other international and cosmopolitan communities align.
Moreover, our island draws in many remote workers and entrepreneurs who can work from anywhere – including those with children due to its quality schools, natural surroundings and level of safety.
Many visitors from afar are impressed by its increasingly easy international connection (not only direct from London, but direct flights from New York to Mallorca are now available, allowing you to reach Ibiza in approximately 8 hours), making travelling to and from Ibiza much simpler and more enjoyable.
Soon, we will be taking a look at the housing market statistics once again as we enter the last quarter of 2023. Yet, as far as we can predict and according to our internal insights, we have continued to rise since our previous audit.
Our 2022 annual market report and 2023 forecast shows that Ibiza’s real estate market has always been more resilient than our neighbouring Islands and Spain’s mainland. Ibiza’s luxury sector has experienced a considerable upturn since 2020 compared to our peers.
Our Prestige Properties Ibiza’s sales data for 2022 show the following:
An overall 10% increase in price per square metre between 2020 and 2022 across all areas on the island
Our sales volume doubled between 2020 and 2021 – and remained stable throughout 2022
An 87% rise in enquiries over the past two years
A drop of around 50% in (published) listings (suggesting a high demand versus low supply market)
58% of our buyers purchased a property as a second home
Overall, following the main boom of 2021 (which saw even higher numbers than the pre-covid highs in 2017), the market remains steady and continues to rise. With fewer sellers on the market, property values are predicted to increase as the race against a low supply continues, making this a good time and Ibiza a good place to buy a property.
Ibiza Real Estate Properties for Tourism and Rentals
Ibiza generally continues to grow, especially in the hospitality and tourism sectors, making it a premium place to travel. Due to this growth, housing and infrastructure demand has also increased, making it a good destination for those looking to buy a property for tourism purposes.
Buying an Ibiza property with a current tourist licence is the ideal situation. The application process and legal certificate will already be completed, and, what’s more, regular tourism customers are likely to return to this same property and book their holidays year after year. Buying a property for tourism is a win-win situation. This type of investment will likely be fully booked year after year as the tourism industry is booming and its prestige VIP status continues upward.
Ibiza’s Real Estate Market for Long-Term Residents and Families
Our island’s relaxed lifestyle and tranquil environment make it a popular destination for long-term residents, families, and professionals (young and old) who can work remotely. Those who can afford it will naturally prefer a purchased home over long-term rentals (which are also challenging to find).
The island is experiencing a sensational rise in interest as internationals and families become more active in their purchasing journeys, resulting in an increase in prices, a decrease in supply, and an increase in demand.
So, is Ibiza a good place to buy a property and is now the right time?
Overall, one thing is for sure: You’ll have a better chance of getting a decent return if you buy a property in a highly valuable location, highly sought-after and in constant demand. And, yes, Ibiza is most certainly one of those places!
