Flats For Sale in Ibiza

The concept of the Ibiza dream is alive and well. More people than ever are looking to Spain, and Ibiza in particular, for inspiration when it comes to switching up their attitudes to love, work and play. The Mediterranean lifestyle has always been sought after, of course, but especially since the pandemic, the idea of sun, sea and sand as elements in everyday life has become so appealing that it’s no longer merely sitting at the top of people’s wishlists.

People are leaving behind their lives in cities in favour of moving to Spain, and an exodus to Ibiza is at the heart of this new movement – understandably, visitors simply can’t get enough of all things Balearic.

When it comes to property, Ibiza is perhaps most well-known for its whitewashed luxury villas and fincas that are dotted throughout the island’s undulating, pine-topped hills. But the idea that you need to buy a huge six-bedroom villa with swimming pool and sea views is a myth. In fact, there are many different property types available in Ibiza, and much like in mainland Spain, a large proportion of the sector is taken up by apartments and flats – either as holiday homes or as a permanent base.

It should go without saying that this kind of property is just as popular as modern villas or traditional fincas, and competition for these more affordable iterations of Ibiza property is rife.

There are many reasons why one might opt to buy an apartment or flat in Ibiza instead of a many-bedroom villa and location is inevitably a huge factor. Lots of Ibiza property is situated in the countryside or on the coast, which can make access to other areas tricky. But with an Ibiza apartment, you’re more likely to be in a central location, or at least on the outskirts of the busiest towns, villages and beaches. Places like Ibiza Town (or Talamanca), Marina Botafoch, Santa Eulalia, San Jose and San Antonio are all home to many apartment buildings, primarily because these are the most urbanised areas on Ibiza, and demand for property in close proximity to amenities is high.
Needless to say, apartments are prime real estate in all locations on the island, especially if they boast a terrace with sea views, en-suite bathrooms, or access to a swimming pool. Multiple-bedroom apartments are also popular, not least because they provide enough space for families to live, but also because they’re great rental opportunities. In summertime, Spain, and especially Ibiza, attract visitors from all over the world, which can make owning an apartment or villa, especially with a pool, extremely lucrative.

The following locations are home to a range of apartment styles and types, and we receive requests for them often:

Many people move to Spain because they want sea views 24/7, so when apartments become available in these locations they’re snapped up in no time at all.

There are benefits for buying real estate in apartment form. Firstly, there are more apartments than luxury villas on the island. Secondly, planning permission on Ibiza is tricky to attain so a new-build apartment that’s part of an already agreed development might be easier to organise than a villa. Thirdly, costs are minimised, because even with mod cons like air conditioning and a pool, apartments are cheaper to run. So if you’re planning on buying a property to use as a holiday rental, it makes sense to keep costs low so that you can secure maximum profits.
