Santa Gertrudis

Perfectly centred in the heart of the island, Santa Gertrudis is a quaint little village that's easy to reach from wherever you live, or pretend to live.

Fun fact: it's also one of the few places in Ibiza where you can't see the sea. Which, frankly, felt like the ideal location to set up our design studio, safely tucked away from the glittering distractions the island offers in abundance.

Coined by some as the "Notting Hill of Ibiza," Santa Gertrudis offers a unique blend of old-school Ibicencos who grew up here and watched everything change in front of their eyes, and newly arrived creative entrepreneurs. This mix shows up everywhere: in the cafés, the architecture, the characters, and the restaurants. You'll find freshly polished concept spots sitting comfortably next to old-timers that haven't changed since the first local ordered his carajillo at 10:00 a.m.

The peaceful setting makes it the perfect island hideaway: a place where we sketch our plans while you warm up (or cool down) beside the indoor fireplace at Bar Costa, hiding from either the summer heat or the winter humidity, both equally unforgiving.

And when it all becomes a little too much, we simply wander over to the nearby Soho Farmhouse Ibiza, take a dip in its photogenic pool, breathe... and ponder our next write-up, sundowner in hand.

As with everything in Ibiza, there's never a shortage of temptation, with food and drink options galore. So if you're visiting us, please book your meeting responsibly.

Some of our favourites include:
- Macao Café and Can Can for timeless Italian indulgence
- Galería Tambien for our favourite vintage treasures
- Our neighbours Bar Costa for their infamous bocadillos (with or without a caña... )
- Picadeli or Wild Beets for a healthy(ish) lunch while we write our journal entries
- Estudio Laterna for art books and landscapes
- Chez Bibi for the best focaccias and pastries to pair with your morning coffee
- Parra & Romero Gallery to feed our art cravings
- Baron Ibiza to buy our designer-black tees (obviously)

So yes, in trying to escape Ibiza's endless pleasures, distractions, and deliciousness, we've somehow placed ourselves directly at the epicentre of all of it. As it should be.

So, please, don't be shy and feel free to drop by.

Salud.
