Ibiza Love Part III: In no particular order here are tips for an awesome stay on Ibiza

Even from outside the Giri Café looks inviting

I still remember when I drove to San Juan five years ago, a small, sleepy village in the north of Ibiza. It was early afternoon, the streets were empty, the houses and a few shops closed, the sun burnt hot – deadly silence. Only one café was open and turned out to be the rescue – to all intents and purposes.

What a great mix of materials and furniture

Towards the church situated on an idyllic place of San Juan, the Giri Café is immediately visible: in front of the door of an old, ibizan townhouse, elegant wicker furniture instead of cheap plastic chairs invite to stay and to chill. Inside the Giri Café itself you’ll find modern architecture, different, small rooms with cosy seating corners, a successful mix of materials and furniture. Great drinks and cocktails are being mixed at the bar – who would have thought that?

Good idea: The patio is optically magnified by mirrored windows

View into the kitchen: Soul-Food cooked with Love

The actual highlight – besides the extraordinarily good cuisine – is the bordering garden with additional comfy seats, daybeds and a children’s corner (in hay!), which is atmospherically illuminated in the evening. Here one will experience real holiday happiness at the latest.

Chill time: Between beds with organic vegetables there are sitting areas and daybeds

The interior partly documents that the owner of the Giri Café is Danish, as it seems pretty Nordic. Rosa came as a child through her hippie parents on the island, where she’s living with her own family for 15 years now. Everything started with a beautiful boutique-hotel, The Giri Residence. The idea of The Giri Café developed in order to host the guests appropriate. By the way Giri – el guiri – actually stands for ‘foreigner’, ‘stranger’, which Rosa – whose children grow up on Ibiza – is not at all anymore.

The Scandinavian-inspired design is reminiscent of the roots of the Danish owner

The Giri is more than only a café that offers breakfast and lunch. There, friendly staff is serving modern, Mediterranean cuisine of highest standards with fresh ingredients from the region. A lot is handpicked in the own bio garden, in which herbs, salads, strawberries, tomatoes and other vegetables and fruits are being grown. Here I like to sit with a glass of Rosé – my favourite is the “Ibiskus” – and can hardly believe my luck.  BvH

Inside the Giri Café, there are several sitting areas …

… where you can sit comfortably while enjoying Snacks and Tapas

I like the Giri Café especially in the evening …

… when the setting sun creates a special light in the garden …

… and you really want to be nowhere else

Tip:

Every Sunday San Juan transforms itself into a colourful market with live music. On the place and along the small streets handicrafts, jewellery and ceramics are being offered.

IBIZA LOVE Part XII

Ksar Living specialized itself on antique construction elements and materials that are integrated in the respective projects, such as old Moroccan doors

I am a real fan of Interior and nothing is more beautiful than setting up living spaces and decorating. Except writing perhaps. And who hasn’t had the dream: Designing a Finca in Ibiza or a house in another place in the world according to own ideas. Sometimes you need support for the planning and implementation of such projects and in Ibiza there is a truly great team of experts in terms of Interior: the designer of Ksar Living.

Cool – but not cold: a stone bathtub in a bathroom with a concrete look

For 12 years, the interior designer and architect Alberto Cortés Artero and his team offer an all-inclusive service – including landscaping. The former fashion designer discovered years ago his secret love – interior design – and aranges, since then, private houses, boutique hotels such as ‘The Giri Residence’ in San Juan, and restaurants around the globe. Preferably with an Asian-Moroccan touch.

In my opinion pillows are not only a nice decoration, they are a must

A trip to the huge Ksar-showroom on road 733 to San Juan is in any case worth the time, even if you don’t own a Finca on the island. The Ksar inspires and you get great animations. Anyone who wants to can take one of the selected home accessories, that Alberto Cortés Artero has collected from all around the world, home: The own four walls can have a new look and I can have a nice memory of Ibiza.

I’m in love with the turquoise glass lamp base. Wrap it up, please!

Such a Balinese daybed in the garden would be something, wouldn’t it?

There is always a place for these beautiful ceramics*

Ksar Living also offers textiles such as old carpets
