Full home renovation in Ibiza
A full renovation in Ibiza is rarely just a building job. It means a finca whose stone walls hide old wiring, a villa in Sant Josep that has to be ready for the first booking in May, or a flat in Eivissa bought sight unseen and managed from abroad. This page covers what these projects involve on the island, from permits to seasonality, so your request is realistic from the start.

Typical full renovations in Ibiza
Three kinds of project dominate. Complete refurbishment of apartments in Eivissa, Figueretes, Santa Eulària or Sant Antoni: new electrics and plumbing, new bathrooms and kitchen, floors, windows and often a rethought layout. Villa upgrades in Sant Josep, Santa Eulària and Sant Joan, where the owner wants better insulation, air conditioning, larger openings to the terrace and finishes that stand up to rental use. And finca restorations, in which sabina beams, thick stone walls and lime render are kept and repaired while modern services are threaded through them. Many of these begin with an architect or decorator producing the drawings, and end with the details of air conditioning and painting in the final weeks.
What affects the price
Beyond floor area, the biggest variables are the depth of the intervention (new services throughout versus finishes only), whether structure or façade change, and the condition of what is discovered once demolition begins, which is a real factor in older fincas. Then come the specification of kitchens, bathrooms, joinery and flooring, and where those materials ship from. Rural sites add access, water and power constraints. Heritage conditions in Dalt Vila or on a catalogued property can dictate techniques and materials. And the management model matters: a single contractor coordinating all trades, with reporting for an owner abroad, is priced differently from a client who manages separate trades directly.
Permits and rules to anticipate
A full renovation almost always needs a licence from the town hall. If walls, structure, façade or use change, expect a licencia de obra mayor with a signed project and site direction; interior refits without structural change may fall under a licencia de obra menor. Suelo rústico carries stricter rules on what can be extended or altered, and Dalt Vila or a catalogued finca may require heritage approval before work starts. The finished property must still meet the cédula de habitabilidad, and if it is let to tourists, the conditions of its ETV licence. A good contractor or architect will flag which of these applies before you commit.
How to choose a contractor on the island
Ask to see completed renovations in Ibiza, ideally similar to yours, and speak to a past client if possible. Confirm liability insurance and business registration. Insist on a written quote organised by phases and trades, with materials itemised, so that alternatives can be compared fairly. Ask who will be on site each day, how many other projects they run in parallel, and how they deal with lead times for kitchens and stone shipped from the mainland or Mallorca. If you live abroad, agree the communication routine before signing: photo reports, video calls, a shared folder and one decision-maker on each side.
Timing and seasonality
Full renovations in Ibiza are built between November and April. Rentals and villas are occupied in summer, and several town halls restrict noisy works in tourist zones during the season, so a project that is not finished by spring may have to pause until autumn. Working backwards from a summer deadline means drawings and permits in the previous spring and summer, materials ordered by early autumn and demolition in November. Leave room for the unexpected, especially in a finca.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an architect for a full renovation in Ibiza?
If walls, structure, façade or the use of the property change, yes: the licencia de obra mayor requires a signed project and site direction from a registered architect. For an interior refit that keeps the layout, a contractor may handle a licencia de obra menor. Many owners hire an architect anyway to coordinate trades and deal with the town hall on their behalf.
Can a full renovation be done while I am abroad?
Yes, and most projects on the island are managed this way. The key is a single point of contact, a fixed reporting rhythm with dated photos and video calls, a shared folder for drawings, invoices and permits, and clear rules on how changes are approved and priced. Visiting at the start, at the end of demolition and before handover is usually enough.
What is different about renovating a finca?
Old fincas have thick stone walls, sabina beams and lime render that behave differently from modern construction. Services have to be routed without damaging them, damp and ventilation need care, and water often comes from a cistern or well. Catalogued fincas and those on suelo rústico may have heritage or planning conditions, so confirm what can change before designing.
Will the works affect my tourist-rental licence?
They can if the finished property no longer matches what is registered, for example a different number of bedrooms or bathrooms. Keep your ETV licence and the cédula de habitabilidad in mind from the design stage, and ask your contractor or architect to check that the new layout remains consistent with both before the permit is filed.
How do I handle materials that come from the mainland?
Kitchens, stone, tiles, windows and specialist fittings are often shipped from the mainland or Mallorca, and lead times can set the pace of the whole project. Choose and order early, ideally before demolition, agree delivery dates with the contractor, and check who receives and stores deliveries on the island if you are not there.
