Buying Property in Ibiza

Property buyers looking for a property for sale in Ibiza will find the island has a split personality: hedonistic and wild in its popular summer resorts but calm, rural and scenic elsewhere, with property prices to match. The fantastic climate, excellent beaches and infamous nightlife, together with a generally very sensitive approach to property development, keep prices in Ibiza among the highest in Spain.

Ibiza Town (Eivissa) has a wonderful, medieval Old Town area of winding alleys and whitewashed properties with great rental potential. It is one of the main tourist locations on the island, home to some of the superclubs and well-located to reach the other beach resorts of the south coast such as Platja d’en Bossa and its family-friendly water park, Aguamar.

Most of the package holiday crowd head for San Antonio (Sant Antoni) in the northwest. There are some excellent, and quieter, resorts in the east, including Santa Eulalia del Rio and Cala Llonga. The coastline between here and Ibiza Town is one of the most coveted property locations on the island. Portinatx, at the island’s northern tip, is an up-and-coming hotspot. The islands picturesque interior offers rural seclusion in stark contrast to the big beach destinations.

Restrictions on development mean that the island is still largely unaffected by poor quality, high-density construction. It is this unspoilt quality that helps to fuel the buoyant property market and high prices on the island.
