Cliffside villas facing Es Vedrá, rural fincas in the Santa Agnés valley and distinctive indoor studios — Art Deco, mid-century, vintage hotel. A curated set of Ibiza locations for fashion campaigns, lookbooks, editorials and content shoots, with a local team that can help with permits, crew and logistics when you need it.
Lovely Locations is a production-first location agency for Ibiza and the wider Balearics, working across photo and fashion shoots, events and brand experiences. We know the Ibiza location landscape — the cliffside villas, rural fincas and distinctive indoor sets that work for a shoot or a campaign — and how location rentals and productions run on the island. When a shoot needs more than a backdrop, we can take on the production around it.
The roster is weighted toward what shoots actually need: shootable interiors and exteriors, room for cast and crew, and properties whose owners are open to productions. We recommend whichever cliffside villa, rural finca or distinctive indoor set genuinely fits the brief, the season and the permit window.

Whitewashed stone fincas in the Santa Agnés valley, century-old olive terraces, courtyard pools and bohemian estates. The classic earthy Ibizan backdrop for fashion, lookbook and travel editorial work.
Explore fincas →
Contemporary villas perched above Cala Jondal, Es Cubells and Na Xamena, with infinity pools facing Es Vedrá. For editorial campaigns that need Mediterranean horizon, architectural lines and golden-hour water.
Explore villas →
Art Deco hotels with pink pastel pools, vintage retro hotels with stage-lit rooms, Cuban-vibe interiors and a red-neon Love Motel. Weather-proof sets for fashion, beauty and product shoots when the light is not on your side.
Explore indoor sets →Soft, directional light from March through November, with long golden-hour windows either side of sunset. Spring and autumn deliver the cleanest skies; summer gives you late sunsets past nine o’clock for extended shoot days.
Rural finca to clifftop villa to old-town backdrop in a single drive. A small crew can build a multi-look campaign without relocating base, which compresses the schedule and keeps the budget honest.
These are working production properties, not just pretty rentals. Pro-lighting rigs, sound systems, driveways wide enough for a production truck, pool filtration that survives two-day beauty shoots — the operational things that decide whether a day runs on time.
Ibiza shoots run year-round. Spring and autumn bring soft light and quiet roads, summer delivers heat, water and late sun, and the Art Deco, vintage and mid-century interiors keep cooler and wet-weather days fully bookable. Villa and finca availability spans the calendar.
Es Vedrá on the horizon, Cala d’Hort in the window, pine-cliff south coast, Santa Agnés almond valley, whitewashed Ibiza stone. The motifs a creative director asked for on the mood board — actually bookable, not just Pinterest-scraped.
Location shortlist, permit paperwork through the Consell Insular and Ibiza Film Commission, parking and access notes, local crew recommendations. We handle the operational layer so the creative team can focus on the frame.
Ibiza’s visual character changes hour by hour. Morning side-light flatters stone fincas and rural interiors; midday sun is hard on open pool shoots unless you are chasing graphic shadow. The golden-hour window is the ninety minutes before sunset, when the south and west coasts catch a warm amber bounce off the water. Cala Jondal and Es Cubells glow earliest; Cala d’Hort and the Es Vedrá side turn violet last. Build the shoot schedule around light direction, not just start time, and you will cut frames without losing looks.
Spring and autumn are the cleanest windows: April through June brings long days and soft tones, while September and October deliver warm light, emptier roads and more flexible villa availability. July and August are workable for campaigns that need heat and water, but rates rise and permit queues lengthen. Winter works for interior and studio-led shoots — Art Deco and vintage hotels stay bookable, many cliff villas remain open, and production costs soften against the summer peak.
Commercial shoots on public land in Ibiza are routed through the Consell Insular d’Eivissa, often with support from the Ibiza Film Commission. Coastal filming — beaches, cliffs, jetties — requires notice to the Demarcación de Costas, usually at least ten days in advance. Private villa and finca shoots rarely need a municipal permit on their own, but crew size, drones, vehicle access and road closures can all add paperwork. We handle the permit scoping as part of the location shortlist.
Booking a villa direct can work when the brief is a single set, a small crew and a generous window. Location agencies earn their seat when the brief needs a curated shortlist across finca, villa and studio formats before a creative director can choose, multi-location shoots that require a consistent producer, or production layers — permits, drones, classic cars, local fixers, coast paperwork. Pricing is on request and varies by project and location.
Tell us the dates, crew size, number of looks and the mood, and we will come back with a shortlist of three to five Ibiza locations — availability-checked, with honest notes on light direction, sound rules, access for trucks and what paperwork each property actually needs. Pricing for our location rental services is on request and varies by project and location.
Commercial shoots on public land — beaches, cliffs, streets, viewpoints — generally need authorisation through the Consell Insular d’Eivissa, with coastal areas routed through the Demarcación de Costas at least ten days in advance. Private villa and finca shoots usually do not need a municipal permit on their own, but drones, larger crews and vehicle closures can change that. We scope the paperwork alongside the shortlist.
Ibiza shoots run year-round. Spring (April to June) and early autumn (September to October) bring soft directional light, warm temperatures, empty roads and full villa availability. July and August give you long evenings, heat and water with tighter permits and peak rates. November through March suits studio-led and interior shoots at Art Deco, vintage and mid-century sets, with production costs easing against the summer peak.
The ninety minutes before sunset are the classic Ibiza golden hour — soft amber light bouncing off the water, long shadows and the sky turning violet behind Es Vedrá. South-coast villas around Cala Jondal and Es Cubells catch the window earliest; Cala d’Hort, directly facing Es Vedrá, gets the last deep tones. Morning light is underrated for editorial — cooler, quieter, and often cleaner for whites.
Yes, with limits. Many popular beaches — Cala Conta, Cala d’Hort, Cala Jondal — are busy from June to September, and commercial crews on the sand need coastal authorisation in addition to any municipal permit. Very small single-photographer shoots on a public beach often proceed informally, but any lighting, rigging, vehicles or talent changes usually need paperwork. Villas with private sea access solve most of this.
Yes. The Art Deco Hotel, Vintage Hotel, Cuban Vibe interiors and Love Motel set are built for indoor work with pro lighting, sound systems and distinctive decor — pink pastels, retro pool cabanas, red-neon diner booths. These are the go-to sets when the forecast is uncertain, when a fashion client needs an alternative angle within the same production day, or when the creative is studio-led.
For May to October dates, four to eight weeks is realistic for most villas and fincas; the most photographed cliff properties can book three to four months ahead for summer weekends. For winter or midweek shoots, two weeks is often enough. Get in touch earlier rather than later — we can soft-hold one or two options while the shoot date and crew are confirmed.
Send dates, crew size, number of looks or setups, rough budget and any reference imagery. We come back with three to five shortlisted Ibiza locations — availability-checked, with real photos, light direction notes, permit requirements and honest pros and cons for your brief. No obligation to proceed.
