It’s been said that Ibiza emits a powerful energy to new visitors. Some people come for a hedonistic escape, while others find peace and build their own idyllic refuge on the Mediterranean island.
In this new book, author Emma Roig Askari and photographer Ricardo Labougle capture this private side of Ibiza – showcasing dream homes belonging to such luminaries as architect Daniel Romualdez, designer Miranda Makaroff, entrepreneur Bobby Dekeyser, Eugenia Martínez de Irujo, 12th Duchess of Montoro, and many more.
These houses bear the strong imprint of their owners’ personalities combined with the innate magnetism and tranquility of the island, away from its party-centric stereotype. More than a look at extraordinary homes, Inside Ibiza is a tribute to the beauty of the island’s interiors and the irresistible energy of this most famous of the Balearic Islands.
