Beyond the Gate
Our Friends in Ibiza.
The island we share with our guests is the one we live ourselves — a small circle of people we have grown close to over the years. Cooks, captains, therapists and craftsmen, each one chosen for the care they bring to what they do.
These are the addresses and numbers we pass to family. We keep the list short on purpose, and we are happy to introduce you directly.
All of them are personal friends — call them on behalf of Olivier and you will be looked after as a VIP.

Foodie
The tables we go back to — long lunches by the sea, neighbourhood kitchens, and the producers who feed the house.
Boris Buono — Ibiza Food Studio
Our private chef on the island, and a former chef at Noma — voted the best restaurant in the world for ten years. Long, generous tables built around what is in season: vegetables from the local farms, fish straight off the boat, and the kind of cooking that turns a dinner into a memory.
Guests of Can Serenico are given their personal mobile number — no booking platforms, no front desk. You call directly, on Olivier's name, and you are looked after first.

Boat rental
Captains and boats we know personally, for slow days out to Es Vedrà, Formentera and the quiet coves of the west coast.
Marc — Coral Yachting
Marc and his crew run our favourite boats on the island — easy days out to Formentera, Es Vedrà and the quiet coves of the west coast, with the same care from the moment you step on board to the last swim before sunset.

Massages & wellness
Therapists, yoga teachers and healers who come to the house — for mornings on the terrace or evenings after the beach.
Ivan — Massage therapist
Ivan works on the floor, the way his old Thai mentor taught him — slow, grounded bodywork drawn from years of practice. A specialist in Chinese medicine and acupuncture, he also brings his Indiba machine to soften the muscles before treating them. An hour with him is part massage, part healing session. No website, no booking page — Ivan is a word-of-mouth therapist, part of the family. He comes to the house, and guests of Can Serenico are given his mobile number directly.

Women's wellness at home
Manicure, pedicure, hair and beauty rituals — brought to the villa, on your own time, in the privacy of the garden.
Lidia — Lidia de Castro Spa Capilar
Lidia comes to the house with her full kit — manicure, pedicure, blow-dry, hair treatments and the kind of quiet attention that turns a beauty hour into a small ritual.

Hikes
Our favourite walks on the island — coastal paths, pine ridges and the quiet inland trails we take in the cooler hours.
Manuel — Ibiza Hiking Station
Manuel knows the island on foot — coastal paths, pine ridges and the quiet inland trails most visitors never see. Half-day walks or full guided days, always in the cooler hours.
