Intro · Positioning

A production-first location agency, not a booking portal

Lovely is a production-led location agency working in Ibiza and Formentera. We have walked every one of these fincas, measured their power supply, noted the angle of the afternoon light on the pool, and checked whether a five-ton truck can actually reach the door.

Every location here has hosted real photo and film productions — fashion editorials, car commercials, lookbooks, e-commerce days, music videos. We recommend whichever finca, pool villa, beach or distinctive interior actually fits the brief. No tied bookings, no inflated rates, and an honest read on what each place can and cannot do on the day.

Why Ibiza

Six reasons Ibiza works for shoots

Six terrain archetypes inside forty minutes

Pine-covered hills, reddish-rock beaches, whitewashed salt flats, Dalt Vila cobblestones, brutalist architecture and dense agricultural land. From a north-coast beach to a Sant Josep finca is a forty-minute drive — three locations in a single call sheet is genuinely feasible.

Soft Mediterranean light, long shoulder seasons

May through mid-October delivers strong, usable light from roughly 07:30 until golden hour well after 19:30 in midsummer. Low humidity keeps wardrobe and hair cleaner than mainland Mediterranean. Winter skies are moody and low-contrast — excellent for narrative and editorial.

Production-tested, not just pretty

Every location on this page has hosted an actual production. We know where the three-phase power lives, which roads a camera truck can turn on, where the catering tent goes, and which owners will let you repaint a wall temporarily. That level of detail is on every shortlist we send.

Crews of six to thirty, comfortably

Most locations here are set up for small editorial teams, mid-size fashion crews and agency shoots. Larger commercial productions with twenty-plus crew and talent are equally welcome — we flag parking capacity, green-room options and on-site bathrooms so nothing surprises on the day.

Permits and paperwork, handled

Spanish filming permits are municipality-specific and deadline-driven — typically seven to ten working days lead time depending on the council. We help navigate Ibiza Film Commission paperwork, protected-area authorisations and public-road closures so the production stays on schedule.

One contact, full-service production layer

Location scouting, permits, transport, classic-car rentals, catering, crew accommodation, stay-over options at finca locations. One team, one point of contact, end-to-end — the same production infrastructure we built for commercial clients.

Planning a shoot in Ibiza: the things worth knowing

Choosing the right location format

The first decision on any Ibiza shoot is whether the story needs interior, exterior or both. Fincas offer both — whitewashed interior rooms that photograph cleanly at midday and exterior walls and gardens that work in early morning and late afternoon. Pool villas bias exterior: great for swimwear and fashion, less flexible on a grey day. Distinctive locations (Art Deco, brutalist concrete, mid-century motel) are weather-proof interior plays — the building is the image.

When to shoot in Ibiza

May, June, September and early October are the sweet spot: strong light, low humidity, all locations open, rates below peak. Midsummer July–August brings punishing midday sun and crowded beach backdrops — shoot early and late, or head inland to covered fincas. Winter is underrated for narrative and editorial: low-contrast light, empty beaches, and accommodation at a fraction of peak rates.

Permits, protected areas and public spaces

Spain handles film and photo permits at municipal level. For Eivissa town, Sant Josep, Sant Antoni and Santa Eulària, a written application is required typically seven to ten working days in advance. Public beaches, protected natural areas (including Ses Salines and parts of the north coast) and the airport or port need separate authorisations. Private locations — fincas, villas and the distinctive interiors — generally do not need a municipal permit but have their own rental agreement and usage terms.

Working with a location agency versus booking direct

Booking a single villa direct is simple for a one-day lookbook. An agency earns its seat when the production needs (a) a curated shortlist across formats before the client chooses, (b) a multi-location call sheet across two or three days, or (c) production layers — permits, camera-truck transport, classic-car rentals, stay-over accommodation, catering, on-set support. We do not mark up location rates; we charge scoping and coordination separately so the economics stay transparent.

Common questions

Frequently asked

What kinds of shooting locations do you have in Ibiza?

Our Ibiza roster covers three broad categories: traditional fincas and countryside estates (stone walls, patina, olive groves), modern pool villas (clean architecture, sea views, infinity pools), and distinctive interiors (brutalist concrete, Art Deco, mid-century motel, classic-car fleets). We also have scouted public backdrops — beaches, Dalt Vila cobblestones, salt flats — that we help permit and coordinate.

Do I need a permit to shoot in Ibiza?

For private locations — fincas, villas, the distinctive interiors — you work from the owner’s rental agreement rather than a municipal permit. For public beaches, historic old-town streets, protected natural areas, the airport and the port, you need a municipal or authority permit. Applications typically require seven to ten working days lead time depending on the council. We handle the Ibiza Film Commission paperwork alongside the location booking.

How do Ibiza sound laws affect music video or commercial shoots?

Most private locations have outdoor noise-level restrictions from 23:00 onwards, with some municipalities stricter. For daytime shoots with playback or generators this rarely causes issues — but overnight or very late productions need the noise and generator plan confirmed in writing before the booking. We flag this on every shortlist where it is likely to matter.

Can I shoot on Ibiza beaches?

Yes, with permits. Public beaches including Xarraca, Cala Oliva and the south-west sunset coast require permission from the relevant ayuntamiento and, for protected coastal zones, from the Consell Insular. For crowded summer beaches, we often recommend very early mornings or off-season shoots; for exclusivity, we can sometimes arrange a private beach-club day rental with controlled background.

What crew size and vehicle access do the locations handle?

Most fincas and pool villas on this page comfortably host crews of six to thirty with car parking on site. Larger commercial productions with twenty-plus crew, talent and a camera truck are possible at the bigger estates — we flag parking, turning radius and green-room options on the shortlist. A handful of the distinctive interior locations have tight access and are better suited to small editorial teams.

When is the best time of year to shoot in Ibiza?

May, June, September and early October are the sweet spot — strong light, long days, mild temperatures, and location availability not yet at peak. July–August brings strong midday sun and busy backdrops, so plan for early-morning and late-afternoon windows. Winter is underrated for editorial and narrative: moody light, empty beaches, and rates at a fraction of summer.

How do I request a shortlist?

Send us the shoot date, crew size, use case (fashion, commercial, editorial, music video, e-commerce), any specific look or mood references, and rough budget. We come back within 24 hours with three to five shortlisted Ibiza locations — availability-checked, with real photos, capacity and power notes, and pros and cons for your brief.
