Ibiza has long been a luxury destination, attracting A-listers and creatives seeking to disconnect from the fast-paced urban lifestyle. The post-pandemic market shift has only enhanced its appeal, as buyers look for properties in safe and natural surroundings. The island’s real estate arena is booming, making it a preferred destination for international buyers.
According to Prestige Properties Ibiza, in 2022, nearly 58% of their clients purchased residences as a second home, around 27% as an investment, and only 15% of sales equated to first-time buyers. UK clients remain the largest group served by Prestige Properties, followed by Italians, French, and Germans. Together, those four nationalities purchased approximately 60% of the places sold last year. The Dutch, Spanish, and Swiss contingent comprised the second-biggest faction: 27%.
The scenic island’s appeal lies in its slower pace of life, bohemian vibes, and luxurious amenities. Ibiza offers high-end farm-to-table restaurants, beach clubs, and bars, making it a far cry from overcrowded cities.
