When a British couple planned their wedding in Ibiza, they were looking for a venue that blended style, soul, and setting — something relaxed yet remarkable. Can Frare Ibiza offer precisely that. Overlooking the Bay of San Antonio, this 300-year-old finca is one of the oldest houses on the island. It has been lovingly restored and reimagined as a luxurious private estate. With its hilltop location, timeless architecture and calm, open layout, Can Frare Ibiza is the perfect backdrop for a vibrant and joyful wedding celebration.
The wedding brought together everything couples hope for when planning a destination wedding in Ibiza: golden sunshine, easy travel logistics, and a setting that flows effortlessly from ceremony to dinner to dancing. With colourful styling, heartfelt moments and space to make the weekend their own, this wedding showed exactly why Can Frare Ibiza stands out as one of the best wedding venues on the island.
The couple and their wedding party made full use of the villa’s 12-person capacity, staying on site in the days leading up to the wedding. Can Frare Ibiza’s interiors offer cool stone floors, thick walls, and high ceilings that keep the house comfortably shaded. There’s a natural flow between the indoor spaces and the surrounding gardens, making it easy for guests to relax and spread out as needed.
On the morning of the wedding, the bridal party got ready in the calm, airy rooms. Hair and makeup for the bridesmaids were done in comfort, interspersed with joyful moments of being together in the lead-up to the ceremony. The groomsmen also prepared at the villa, adding to the sense of ease and unison that carried through the day.
The ceremony took place in front of Can Frare Ibiza’s iconic whitewashed façade, framed by mature planting and open skies. Guests sat on woven rattan chairs, each with a fan to keep cool under the Ibizan sun. The setting required very little additional styling, as the house itself created a backdrop of quiet beauty and character.
As part of the visual story, the bride wore a modern strapless gown with a soft, sweeping silhouette that caught the light with every step. Her bridesmaids brought the island’s colours into the celebration with dresses and hand-held dried flowers in bold shades of pistachio, pink and orange. The tones echoed the landscape around them (bougainvillaea, citrus trees and terracotta earth), tying the styling naturally into the setting.
Following the ceremony, guests were free to explore the estate. With 12 hectares of private land, Can Frare Ibiza offers endless options for movement and gathering. The couple chose key photo locations across the grounds, capturing the soft light and texture of the island.
Dinner was served outdoors as the sun dipped behind the hills. Long tables were set with bright, joyful styling: cerise pinks, zesty oranges, pineapple napkin holders, lobster candle holders. The styling felt playful, expressive and personal, making it an ideal match for the relaxed beauty of the estate.
Sabor Ibiza catered food, and cocktails flowed thanks to Perfectly Balanced Ibiza, who set up a bar under the trees and built a coupe glass drinks tower for the bride to pour the first toast.
As evening fell, the bride changed into a shorter version of her gown, ready for dancing. Guests swam, danced and gathered around the pool and outdoor kitchen as the party came to life. One of Can Frare Ibiza’s greatest strengths is how well the space supports every stage of the celebration, from ceremony to dinner to dancing, without guests ever needing to leave the property.
The infinity pool, terraces and pool room offered natural zones for guests to enjoy the warm evening air. Music flowed through the warm air as soft lighting transformed the gardens into a space that was intimate yet alive. The night unfolded in a way that felt effortless and deeply personal.
This wedding captured everything that makes Can Frare Ibiza an exceptional venue: private yet accessible, with space for up to 75 guests and a perfect balance of intimacy and freedom. With its heritage charm, modern comforts, and hands-on support, the estate gave the couple space to create a celebration that felt truly personal, from planning through to the final dance.
As the bride later shared, “Can Frare Ibiza is a house of exceptional character, style and comfort. It allowed us to move effortlessly from greeting guests to the ceremony, drinks, dinner, and a big party. The pool, the gardens, the villa itself — it all added to the magic.”
For couples dreaming of a wedding in Ibiza that’s rooted in place, rich with personality, and free from convention, Can Frare Ibiza offers something rare: a venue with soul.
