Producing in Ibiza: the things worth knowing before you commit
Choosing a region on the island
Ibiza reads as one place but splits cleanly into four operating zones. The south coast — Es Cubells, Cala Jondal, Porroig — delivers the dramatic cliff-and-sea frames most briefs want: Villa Jondal, Ocean Paradise and Modern Villa Es Vedra all sit on this stretch. The centre (Santa Gertrudis, San Vicente) is agricultural finca country, all olive groves and rustic stone. The north — Santa Agnés, San Joan — is pine-forested, cooler-light, and home to the Bohemian Estate’s 25-hectare valley. The west around San Antoni carries the classic sunset frames and quick beach access. Travel between all four is under an hour; most briefs end up mixing two.
When to come — the seasonal calendar
Ibiza is a year-round island. Summer — roughly June through September — is warm, lively and the most in-demand window across the roster, with hot days and the busiest pricing. Spring and autumn bring 22–27°C, a fully open island and a sea still warm enough to swim on camera. November through April is a genuinely underrated window: averages of 15–16°C rising to 25°C the moment sun hits, villa rates well below summer, empty coastlines and crews ready for work. With 300 sun-days a year and mild winters, the calendar rarely dictates the brief — the look you’re after and your headcount matter more than the month.
Permits, permissions and the Film Commission
The Ibiza Film Commission is a non-profit dependent on the Consell Insular d’Eivissa and its services are free. For any public-space permit — streets, beaches, harbours, protected natural areas — an instance must be registered with the relevant ayuntamiento (there are five: Eivissa, Sant Joan, Sant Antoni, Sant Josep, Santa Eulària) with a minimum of seven working days in advance. Private venue shoots don’t need public permits but do need a booking contract, proof of insurance and a shoot schedule shared with the property.
Sound, neighbours and the midnight reality
Ibiza has outdoor sound cut-offs. For most rural fincas and villas the outdoor music limit is 23:00, with indoor continuation permitted until 00:00 or later depending on the ayuntamiento. Properties near villages often have earlier limits; Dalt Vila and Ibiza Town residential zones are stricter still. If your event needs DJ-led programming past midnight, this has to be confirmed in writing at the shortlist stage — we check it for every venue we propose. Daytime production noise (generators, trucks, crowd) is less contested but still courteous to clear with neighbours 48 hours ahead. None of this is a blocker; it’s just the operating reality we build into the brief.

Common questions
Frequently asked
What are the best locations in Ibiza for shoots and events?
It depends entirely on the look you’re chasing. South-coast cliff villas (Villa Jondal, Ocean Paradise, Modern Villa Es Vedra) deliver dramatic sea frames; central fincas (Finca Ibiza, Finca Lavada, Finca Sata) give rustic Ibicenco interiors; period hotels (Art Deco, Vintage Hotel) bring editorial colour; and the Bohemian Estate near Santa Agnés offers 25 hectares of valley for scale. Our job is matching your mood board to the specific property that delivers it — tell us the brief and we’ll shortlist three to five that actually fit.
Can you shoot or host an event in Ibiza year-round?
Ibiza works year-round. Summer (June–September) brings the warmest, busiest and priciest window; spring and autumn give warm Mediterranean light, an open island and still-reasonable pricing; and winter (November–April) is genuinely underrated for pre-launch shoots, offsites and intimate dinners — averages of 15–16°C with 25°C sun-highs, villa rates well below summer, and crews readily available. Ibiza delivers 300 sunny days a year, so dates rarely move for weather.
Do I need a permit to shoot or film in Ibiza?
For private venues (the majority of our roster), no public permit is required — just a venue contract, insurance and shoot schedule. For any public space — beach, harbour, street, protected natural area — you must register an instance with the relevant ayuntamiento (Eivissa, Sant Joan, Sant Antoni, Sant Josep or Santa Eulària) a minimum of seven working days in advance. The Ibiza Film Commission, a free non-profit under the Consell Insular d’Eivissa, coordinates the process.
How do I get to Ibiza from London, Paris, Berlin or Madrid?
IBZ (Ibiza Airport) sits fifteen minutes south-west of Ibiza Town with direct seasonal flights from most European capitals — roughly 2h 30m from London, 2h from Paris and Berlin, and 1h from Madrid or Barcelona. Transfers are short: the airport is 7 km from Dalt Vila, 20 minutes to south-coast villas, 40 minutes to the far north. Crew, talent and guests can arrive same-day; we coordinate private transfers on request.
Can I host a private event or takeover at these locations?
Yes — most of the villas and estates on this page are designed for full-property takeover, including Villa Jondal, Ocean Paradise, Can Felipe, Bohemian Estate and the Art Deco Hotel. Capacities range from 20-guest intimate dinners to 300-guest activations. Outdoor music cut-offs (typically 23:00 with indoor continuation permitted) vary by property and ayuntamiento — we confirm in writing at shortlist stage.
How does Lovely Locations actually work?
We’re a production-first location agency. You send us dates, guest count, format (shoot / event / retreat / production), rough budget and a mood board. We come back with three to five shortlisted locations — availability-checked, with real photos, capacity notes, permit reality and honest pros and cons for your specific brief. Pricing is on request and varies by project and location.
How far in advance should we book an Ibiza location?
For peak summer (July–August) and high-season weekends (late May through September), four to six months ahead is safe; the most-photographed villas go nine to twelve months out. For spring and autumn (April–May, October), six to ten weeks is realistic. Winter bookings can be turned around in two to four weeks. For shoots in particular, off-peak slots are often available on 10-day notice — if the brief is flexible, get in touch early.
