Ibiza · Spain
The serious money on Ibiza is now in the sober, wellness, and recovery-adjacent category. Almost the opposite of the island's reputation. Owners with the right property and the right judgement can charge premiums that wouldn't be possible anywhere else in Spain. But the screening risk is also higher than anywhere else in Spain.

01
Properties on the north coast (Sant Joan, Es Cubells). Quieter, less party-adjacent. Strict no-substance policy with real enforcement. Founders with lived experience or a credible recovery network. Smaller groups (max 12) and longer minimums (10+ nights).
02
Anywhere within 25 minutes of Playa d'en Bossa during high season. The noise alone disqualifies serious sober projects. Operators who pretend their sober space is also OK for 'low-key' party guests. Hiring island-side staff without recovery training.
03 · Founder note
Ibiza is the highest-yield sober coliving market in the Mediterranean and also the easiest to ruin. Every detail of screening matters. I won't advise on a sober Ibiza project unless the founder has lived experience or a clinical advisor on retainer.
