You are very active and healthy! Where do you go swimming?
There’s a great secluded beach, albeit all stones but oh such a great sea – a 2km trek from the road called S’Aigua Dolca. Northeast. For easy access and drinks nearby, I like Aigues Blanches and Benirras.
What does health and happiness mean to you and how does Ibiza fit in?
To me it means a life where ‘time’ is the biggest currency. And set in nature. Things are slower and more laid back on an island. I breathe and walk the earth of Ibiza and feel its changes through the seasons, from dry to super green. The ebb and flow of people, the opening and closing of places. It’s a nice contrast to the year – summer and winter. The balance. My dogs too – perhaps especially the 2 Podenco Ibicencos, the bread came to the island with the Phoenicians from Egypt. You must live in nature with this breed; you need to walk them, and people often warn against them. They go roaming, which has taught me patience, but they come back. Happiness is to see them happily trotting back to me after a beautiful walk. Sighs of contentment. They are my heart and Ibiza and the nature is the foundation. The old house is the sanctuary. Those 4 things tie up together and co-relate.
Where do you go shopping?
Coming from Dubai and London I wanted LESS shopping, but I still shop but less frequently and at very different prices. Las Dalias is great for unique pieces. ‘07800’ shop in Eivissa. Can Katz in Cala Llonga is a newer, charming little shop. For homewares Sargantana, Magazin, and Lotus. I also love the newly-arrived clothing label on the island called Caravana Tulum; they have a tent at the new Woomoon party.
