Editor’s Travel Tips: Senior Fashion Editor Nour Bou Ezz’s Guide To Ibiza
Nour Bou Ezz shares the places she returns to, the pieces she can’t resist, and the tables worth booking for one unforgettable night
Nour treats Ibiza like Fashion Week with a sea view. Every plan begins with a mood, a soundtrack and, naturally, an outfit. From lunches at Cala Gracioneta to dinners at Sa Capella, this is Nour at her best in her natural habitat.
Stay: Serendi Villas. Perched above Cap Negret, these seven exceptional villas come with sweeping sea views that seem to stretch on forever.
Shop: The stores around Marina Botafoch for polished resort fashion.
Drink: No matter the hour, it somehow always starts with an espresso martini at Roto.
Culture fix: A boat day to Formentera, Ibiza’s most beautiful ritual. The kind of sun-soaked escapism that reminds you why Ibiza remains the Mediterranean’s ultimate playground.
Best people watching: Casa Jondal where the crowd feels as effortlessly stylish as the setting itself.
What’s the first thing you pack for Ibiza?
My Polaroid camera, for Ibiza or any trip, I love coming back home with memories that feel timeless and real.
Your packing philosophy in three words?
Planned. Polished. Styled.
What do you always over-pack, even though you know you shouldn’t?
‘Just in case’ outfits. The ones that feel essential while packing and somehow never make it out of the suitcase.
Which table would you book if you had one night in town?
The BOHO experience on Thursdays at Beachhouse. The energy is impossible to describe; it’s one of those rare moments that feels uniquely Ibiza and impossible to recreate anywhere else in the world.
Suitcase Staples
1. Evening dress: The barely-there that only works in Ibiza
2. Straw hats… and beach bags planned around outfits
3. My statement scent from LV, Fleur du Désert: the finishing touch to every Ibiza look
4. Bose Soundlink: Max portable speaker for slow morning coffees by the pool
5. Summer shades: The most up-to-date I can find. I am currently addicted to Miu Miu
Where do you go when you want to feel like a local, not a visitor?
Driving around the island, from Cala D’hors to Cliffs near Es Vedrà, without a clear plan, discovering hidden beaches, quiet coves and the kind of places you only find by getting a little lost.
What’s the soundtrack to this trip?
Edge Of Desire by Jonas Blue & Malive.
The souvenir you’d bring back that says everything about this place?
A camera roll full of beautiful sunsets and blurry flash photos alongside stories we’ll laugh about for the rest of the year.
If Ibiza were a look, it would be:
Isabel Marant SS/26
Beauty Mvps
You haven’t really experienced ibiza until…
All the magic happens long before the night starts – woven through lazy days at sea, impromptu lunches that become dinners and a sun-soaked rhythm that makes the rest of the world feel wonderfully far away. Schedules are irrelevant, shoes are optional and every plan is allowed to unravel into something better than what was intended.
