Fincas for saleon Ibiza

There is something eternally appealing about the Balearic lifestyle. Perhaps it’s the sheer number of some of the world’s best beaches on your doorstep in Spain or the understated hint of luxury that greets you at the door of most beach clubs and restaurants, or maybe it’s the incredible sea views and sunsets mixed with those endless balmy days and hot nights. It’s hard to put your finger on the exact recipe that sets the Balearics apart from everywhere else in the world but what we do know is that Ibiza embodies it all, making it one of the most sought after holiday and relocation destinations on the planet.

Many people come to Ibiza, Spain on holiday and after a sun-drenched week in paradise subsequently decide to uproot their lives at home and move to the island permanently to live in a luxury villa or finca. And who can blame them? The promise of 300 days of sunshine every year alongside boundless blue skies, world class restaurants, bars, shops and clubs, and a rolling green landscape ripe for exploration is powerful ammunition for every imagination. Small wonder that Ibiza devotees decide to move jobs, kids and lives to Ibiza, and go on to love every single Balearic minute of it.
