Why go direct in Ibiza?
Platforms add roughly 14–17% to the guest's total in service fees — and still take a host fee on top. On an average €220 night in Ibiza, that is a meaningful slice of your rate handed over with every booking.
Booking via a platform
- Guest pays ~14–17% service fee on top of your rate
- You pay a host fee on each booking
- You don't own the guest relationship or data
- Your listing lives under platform policies
Booking direct
- Guests pay your full rate — no service fee on top
- Zero booking commission for you
- Every guest and stay saved in your own records
- Calendar sync stops double bookings automatically
Your guests pay the same — or less — and you keep the difference. See everything included →
The Ibiza market
Ibiza's white-isle energy, beach clubs and island villas support one of Europe's most premium short-term-rental markets, peaking hard in summer. Hosts here pay OTA commissions on high-value holiday bookings. A direct-booking website helps Ibiza hosts capture repeat guests and keep a larger share of every stay.
Short-term-rental rules
The Balearic Islands require tourist accommodation to hold a licence, and Ibiza restricts licences in many zones. Licensing is strict, so always verify the current local requirements before listing.
Direct booking in Ibiza, answered
The questions Ibiza hosts ask us most — about rules, OTA fees and switching to direct bookings.
Only with a valid tourist-accommodation licence, and the Balearic government restricts new licences across many parts of the island. Verify your property's eligibility before listing.
Guests typically pay around 14–17% in service fees on top of the nightly rate, plus a host fee. Direct booking keeps that margin with Ibiza hosts.
Create a branded booking site from your listing with Stayolo, sync your calendar and Stripe, then invite past guests and enquirers to book directly through your link.
Roughly €220 per night on average, with coastal villas and summer weeks commanding far more. Direct booking preserves those peak rates.
Hosts who took back their bookings
We stopped giving 17% away
“I had no idea how much we were handing to booking platforms until we switched. Now repeat guests book through our own site at our full rate, and the calendar sync means no double bookings.”

Repeat guests now book direct
“The website looked like something a designer would charge thousands for. We send every past guest the direct link and around a third of our stays now come in commission-free.”
