IBIZA NEWS - The Real Deal
– Hope you are all keeping well!
After a bumpy April and May with quite a few uncertainties and justified caution, Ibiza is now pretty much underway and ready to embrace the season.
Hotels are starting to bloom open, a number of new hotels & venues will be joining the island rich landscape and visitors are arriving with a vengeance.
There is a sweet scent of expectation and a serious desire to celebrate after such challenging times.
The new hotels opening will further consolidate Ibiza as a premium destination, and institutional and investor interest remains high.
Demand for quality hard assets is robust and prices are remaining very firm.
A certain amount of rotation is taking place, venues are changing hands, new investors are eying opportunities.
The premium homes demand is strong as high net worth individuals continue to look for place in Ibiza with its high quality, cosmopolitan lifestyle and easy, tolerant attitudes and diversity.
The ability to work remotely and the open spaces the island offers together with year round ample doses of vitamin D, means houses and villas in Ibiza have all seen a gradual rerating in the past year.
Residential homes sales are expected to pick during the year, prices will continue to grow, and quality offer is limited.
New venues will add to the islands rich offering and vibrancy, while robust investor interest combined with a strongly improved summer season will all be a catalyst for next new version of our beloved Ibiza!
This train is getting ready to leave the station, get on before it is too late.
Stay safe, Stay Cautious.

Indications seem to suggest that for sure outside venues will be able to celebrate events within certain limits and with controls
All good news for the likes of Destino, Ibiza Rocks, Cova Santa and Ushuaia and other venues that can offer outside spaces. Maybe DC10? Fingers crossed.
What remains more uncertain is the possibility of the iconic and not so iconic venues with only indoor spaces.
