Balearic island and global summer-party brand — but year-round Ibiza is a different city, with a 50,000-population off-season and rents that drop dramatically (Oct–May). Ibiza Town (Eivissa) is the walkable UNESCO old-town hub; Santa Eulalia is the family-and-long-stay alternative; San Antonio is the party zone (avoid for long stays). The island has 200+ beaches and a coworking scene that built out 2022–2024. Spain's DNV applies — €2,650/mo income, 1-year + 2-year renewal. Cost is high June–August (rents triple), reasonable Oct–May. Ferries to Mallorca + Barcelona; flights direct to most European hubs.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
