The Ibiza Film Commission is preparing to impress attendees of the Shooting Locations Marketplace, an event to be held at the Feria de Valladolid from 15 to 16 October. This organisation, dedicated to promoting the island of Ibiza as a privileged destination for audiovisual productions, presents an irresistible proposal for filmmakers and producers in search of unique and versatile locations.

Ibiza, known worldwide for its breathtaking scenery and vibrant nightlife, offers much more than paradisiacal beaches and legendary parties. The island has an area of 570 km² and a coastline of 210 km, filled with sandy coves and easily accessible cliffs, making it an ideal location for filming of all kinds. The traditional architecture, which has earned it the nickname of “the white island”, and its highest point, Sa Talaia, at 475 metres high, add a geographical diversity that can be adapted to multiple filming needs.

Five municipalities make up this paradise

Ibiza is divided into five municipalities: Eivissa (Ibiza), Sant Joan de Labritja, Santa Eulària des Riu, Sant Antoni de Portmany and Sant Josep de sa Talaia, each with its own charm and appeal. Among its cultural treasures are the walls of Dalt Vila, the archaeological remains of the Phoenician settlement of Sa Caleta, the Posidonia oceanica meadows that stretch between Ibiza and Formentera, and the necropolis of Puig des Molins, all of which have been declared World Heritage Sites. In addition, the island is home to numerous points of interest such as the salt flats, the defence towers, the archaeological museum and islets such as Es Vedrà, providing a host of unique and memorable locations.

Despite its size, Ibiza has a growing and experienced local industry in the field of audiovisual productions. The island is perfectly equipped to host high-level filming thanks to its developed tourist infrastructures. The Ibiza Film Commission suggests that, in order to facilitate logistics and access to services, productions consider filming outside the high summer season, when tourist demand is lower and resources are more readily available.

In recent years, Ibiza has been the setting for several outstanding productions. Series such as Nacho (Atresplayer), Machos Alfa and White Lines (Netflix) have taken advantage of the island’s beauty and diversity for their shoots. In addition, films such as La Corriente (Ibiza Blue) by Jesús Lloveras and the local feature film Es gegant des Vedrà by Héctor Escandell have captured the essence of Ibiza in their visual narratives.

Beauty and heritage come together on the island

The Shooting Locations Marketplace is an unbeatable opportunity for the Ibiza Film Commission to showcase all the advantages of filming in this Mediterranean paradise. This event brings together professionals from the film and television industry in search of ideal locations for their upcoming productions. Ibiza, with its unique combination of natural beauty, cultural heritage and ready-made infrastructure, is positioned as a top destination for audiovisual projects of any scale.

The Ibiza Film Commission is dedicated to providing comprehensive support to productions, from permitting and logistics to liaising with local suppliers and industry professionals. This level of support ensures that every shoot on the island is efficient and successful, allowing filmmakers to focus on their creative vision.

Ibiza offers not only breathtaking scenery and a rich cultural history, but also an environment that is conducive and well-equipped for audiovisual productions. The Ibiza Film Commission is ready to welcome producers and filmmakers to the Shooting Locations Marketplace, where they can discover all the reasons why Ibiza is the perfect location for their next project.

With over 154,000 inhabitants enjoying a cosmopolitan lifestyle and an openness to seasonal population growth, Ibiza ensures a welcoming and flexible experience for any production team. Favourable weather conditions for much of the year also contribute to making filming more comfortable and less subject to weather interruptions.

The Ibiza Film Commission is looking forward to the Shooting Locations Marketplace to share the magic of Ibiza with the global audiovisual community. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore all that this extraordinary island has to offer and consider Ibiza as the next location for your production.
