Our Role
Ibiza Family Office acts as the Principal’s local representative in Ibiza, providing leadership, governance, representation and reporting across personal, professional and operational matters. We sit between the Principal or Global Family Office and the local teams responsible for delivery.
One Accountable Point Across the Local Structure
Areas of Expertise
Leadership, Representation & Governance
Acting as the principal's trusted representative across all Ibiza-based interests, ensuring coherent governance and informed decision-making.
Legal & Regulatory Coordination
Coordinating with specialist legal counsel on Balearic and Spanish regulatory matters, planning permissions and compliance requirements.
Property & Asset Stewardship
Overseeing the management, maintenance and performance of property holdings and physical assets on the island.
Family Office Structuring
Advising on the appropriate structures for holding and managing family wealth with Ibiza-based interests.
Lifestyle & Residence Management
Managing the full spectrum of principal and family lifestyle requirements, from household staffing to residence administration.
Trusted Advisor Network
Providing access to a curated network of senior advisors across law, finance, architecture and private services.
Confidential Mandate Execution
Executing sensitive and complex mandates with absolute discretion, on behalf of principals who require senior-level representation.
Ibiza
Ibiza is internationally significant but operationally complex. Planning restrictions, municipal processes, limited infrastructure, seasonal demand, staffing, procurement, privacy and island logistics can all affect property, projects and private life. Our experience has been built through more than twenty-five years of living and working across Ibiza and Formentera. We understand the professional landscape, local relationships and practical realities that are not always visible from outside the island. This allows us to assess credibility, anticipate difficulties and identify the right route forward. Our clients’ lives and advisory structures are often international. We work closely with Family Offices and specialist advisers across Spain and other jurisdictions, ensuring that decisions made elsewhere can be implemented effectively in Ibiza. Local knowledge without structure can become informal. International structure without local understanding can become impractical.
Local Understanding. International Standards.
