The traditional Ibicencan fincas with their white lime walls so typical for the island have been the inspiration for the island’s beautiful sobriquet “White Island”. Residences composed of cubistic elements fascinate the eye, particularly in the mostly untouched north of the island.Renowned architects such as “Le Corbusier” and “Walter Gropius” drew inspiration from the simplistic shapes of construction with their functional aesthetics and oriental elements.

Ibiza, which used to be a modest fishermen’s island, has developed into an exclusive cosmopolitan home for artists, adventurers and individualists. People from many countries and backgrounds live together in perfect harmony. Fishing and salt production as the economic driving factors have long been replaced by tourism, which now represents more than 90% of the overall economy.

The exceptionally beautiful light of the Balearic Islands, the beautiful landscapes as well as the mild climate have inspired and attracted painters and artists for decades.

Over the last few years the real estate market of Ibiza has experienced a huge boom. The popular coasts in the south of the island with modern and luxurious villas snuggled up to the hillsides are now amongst the most expensive and sought-after locations of the world. The variety of properties on the island is as multifaceted as its residents and ranges from rural fincas and modern villas to luxurious apartments on the Promenade with views to the marina and Ibiza-Town. Due to the rather small size of the island a glimpse of the sea can be caught from almost everywhere even if one does not live right by the seafront.
