Ibiza – FAQs for Buying Property
How much have property prices in Ibiza increased over the past 10 years?
Based on our own analysis, Ibiza property prices rose 108% between 2015 and 2025
The Ibiza property market has shown long-term resilience, shaped by strong overseas demand. Second-home buyers, lifestyle buyers, and high-net-worth investors make up a large share of the market. To understand how much prices have increased over the past decade, we analysed 10 years of clean pricing data for each of the five municipalities using Idealista as our source. To calculate an average for the island as a whole, we applied a weighted method. Property price increases in each municipality were weighted according to that area’s share of the total number of listings on Idealista (source: Price evolution of housing for sale in Baleares).

Inputs:
| Municipality | Listings | % Increase (2015–2025) |
|---|---|---|
| Eivissa | 772 | 71.72% |
| Sant Antoni de Portmany | 268 | 154.15% |
| Sant Joan de Labritja | 68 | 133.32% |
| Sant Josep de Sa Talaia | 638 | 112.31% |
| Santa Eulalia del Río | 864 | 121.59% |
Total listings: 2,610
Weighted Average % Increase:
(772 × 71.72) + (268 × 154.15) + (68 × 133.32) + (638 × 112.31) + (864 × 121.59)
÷ 2,610 = 108%
Appendix Explanation:
To calculate the weighted average price increase across the five main municipalities of Ibiza, we multiplied the percentage increase in each area by the number of listings on Idealista (source: Price evolution of housing for sale in Baleares) as of 16 July 2025, then divided by the total number of listings. This gives more weight to areas with higher market activity, providing a clearer picture of island-wide price growth.
The result shows that, on average, property prices in Ibiza increased by 108% between May 2015 and May 2025, weighted by the current listing distribution.

Price stability in Ibiza is supported by the same structural factors seen elsewhere in the Balearics: a high share of lifestyle buyers and second-home ownership, relatively low levels of leverage, strong tourism, and restricted new supply due to planning limitations. The long-term appeal of Ibiza’s unique brand continues to attract a wide spectrum of buyers, from those drawn to the island’s glamour and lifestyle, to others looking for traditional fincas and rural homes.
Rental Returns
Ibiza’s global appeal – combining exclusivity, a glamorous party scene, and peaceful rural escapes – drives strong short-term rental demand. Typical net returns for luxury short-term holiday rentals in Ibiza are commonly quoted by rental specialist companies in the 5% to 8% range. You always need a tourist licence to rent your property short term in Ibiza, but well-located homes with licences can perform very well, especially during the peak season.
