ABOUT PAÏSSA D’EN BERNAT

Païssa d’en Bernat is a private rural estate in Ibiza — a place where nature, light and stillness are part of everyday life.

It is a home first, a working place second, and a setting for intentional experiences third.

This blended identity — part lived-in residence, part guesthouse, part event setting — is what makes Païssa unlike a typical villa or venue. It doesn’t operate like a resort. It moves at the pace of the land, the light and the people who stay here.

A PLACE ROOTED IN SIMPLICITY AND CALM

From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice that Païssa feels different:

no loud façades

no high-volume programming

no artificial buzz

Just spaces that invite you to slow down.

The house’s design celebrates natural materials, open views and quiet corners — places to rest, reflect, be together, or simply breathe.

This is not the same experience people find in commercial hotels or large event venues. It is a home in nature, with a rhythm of its own.

Païssa is owned and cared for by a local family who love the land and the history of this place.

We do not live on site full time, but we steward the house, the gardens and the guest experience. We work with a small team to ensure that every stay and every gathering unfolds with care.

At the same time — and this is important — we are not the organisers of weddings or retreats.
We provide the setting, the accommodation, the structure and the boundaries.
The creative, logistical and planning work for celebrations is done by the individuals and professionals (planners, facilitators, caterers) whom our guests engage.

This distinction allows Païssa to remain both:

a home with its own life

and a place where meaningful experiences can happen

HOW PAÏSSA OPERATES

Païssa is earned through respect — for the house, the landscape, the neighbours and those who stay here.

During guesthouse stays, the house functions as a shared home

During full house stays and events, the house is private and reserved

During experience weeks, trusted partners may use exterior spaces in ways that are optional to guests

We always strive for transparency and calm communication

Your experience here is shaped by understanding these rhythms and participating with intention.

WHY PAÏSSA FEELS THE WAY IT DOES

This place was not built to be a public destination.
It was a home long before it became a place people stay and celebrate. It carries the calm of many years, the echoes of daily life and the sense of continuity that only lived-in spaces hold.

That legacy is part of what guests and visitors comment on most:
a feeling of real place, not staged space.

A WELCOME, NOT A SHOW

If you choose to stay here — whether for a few nights or a celebration — we hope you feel the quiet generosity of this land and these walls.

Païssa asks less of you than most places.
It offers more in return.
