Ibiza’s housing crisis: Searching for a room before work begins on April 15

Seasonal workers, including those in their 50s, are encountering difficulties in securing accommodation as they prepare to start their seasonal jobs in Ibiza. With the start dates for their employment looming in mid-April, many are resorting to rental portals to seek shared housing, particularly in areas like Cala de Bou and Sant Antoni. The challenge is not limited to finding affordable options but extends to the high demand for temporary lodging from April to October. While some individuals, like Jezebel, are entering their second season and looking for cost-effective living arrangements for two, others, such as Lucrecia from Argentina, are proactively searching for both employment and accommodation for the upcoming season. The situation underscores the tight housing market on the island, affecting both new and returning workers, irrespective of their financial readiness to pay for their stay.
