Ibiza Real Estate, Tourism, Hospitality & Hotels
So the season opens with a fairly big bang, on the later Easter vacations and the club openings being bought forward, but the follow through has been a little more muted, at least for May.
Under the hood there is much goings on and about, as the island continues as ever to adapt, evolve and experiment.
The market has been busy with some new names appearing, some legendary disappearing, and much expectation around the opening of the UNVRS club on the old Ku/Privilege site. This will definitely be, a before and after for the sector, with changes, challenges and new opportunities.
Diversity is the spice of life, and we are widening the range of experiences and events, which make Ibiza so special.
Overall the real estate market in the higher end seems to be consolidating with some pressure on real prices. We expect to see some weakness over the coming quarters and an increase in inventory. Investor interest in the hospitality space is still robust, with scarcity of product supporting high valuation, but selectivity is increasing.
Let’s see how the season pans out, there is much undertow goings on and it promises to be interesting!
