We no longer just head to the sunshine during six weeks in summer—one quick scroll on Instagram confirms that plenty of people are turning on their out-of-offices every single month of the year. To reflect our new constant state of holiday envy, we’re introducing The Suitcase Diaries, a series in which we (virtually) hop inside the luggage of some of the most stylish women we know and let them be our tour guides.
When looking for an Ibiza tour guide, you won't find much better than the founders of Ibizan label De La Vali, Jana Sascha and Laura Castro. Their playful flamenco-esque dresses and vibrant prints are all inspired by the island, and so who better to show you how to pack for a trip to the White Isle? Keep scrolling for their guide to how to dress and make the most of 24 hours in Ibiza.
"At this time of year in Ibiza, it is always important to pack for any occasion as you will
probably have lots of sunshine but the nights can get quite chilly," they say. "We always bring a section of
small jackets (like our Valentine, Uma Blazer, or our all time favourite cropped studded Billy
Ray jackets). Shoe-wise, we always bring a good boot and a pair of traditional Spanish espadrilles, as they are so easy to combine with every look. We love packing our signature De La Vali dresses, as they are light to carry and the perfect thing to wear in Ibiza. Our current favourites are the ‘Juliette’ long silk dress and the ‘Suki’ mini dress. We were brought up on the island, so when designing our collections we always
keep Ibiza in mind. We aspire to create the perfect ‘Beach to Bar’ looks, which are cool, elegant
and fun."
"A great place to stay is the Nobu hotel; it’s close to town and easy to get to and it has the most
impressive pool overlooking the sea, along with the most delicious cocktails and food. Nobu
actually has a really cool little boutique that stocks our collections too!"
"We love our secret spots, such as the magical Es Verda," they add. "The view is like nothing you’ve ever seen before – the perfect place to capture the sunset! It is the third most magnetic point in the
world and has a really special energy.
Our favourite shopping spot is a small vintage boutique in town called ‘Vicente Ganesh.’ The
owner has the most amazing selection of vintage treasures – we love a vintage hunt.
Annie’s is also a great little shop – owned by a good friend, who is also one our stockists on
the island! It’s situated right in the heart of the Old Town, which is a stunning part of Ibiza.
Another absolute favourite is Galeria Elefante. It is a beautiful lifestyle boutique on the road to
Santa Gertrudis, and they sell everything from jewellery to furniture – It has so much charm
and character and is the dream shop to buy presents
Anyone else suddenly craving an Ibiza break?
