When most people picture Ibiza, they imagine strobe lights, champagne sprays, and partying until daylight. But there’s another side to this island, one that hums instead of blares, breathes instead of burns. It’s the Ibiza that locals wake up to, where time moves slower, conversations last longer, and the air smells faintly of rosemary and sea salt.
This is the Ibiza Basbas comes from.
A Living Culture, Not a Brand
Before the jet set arrived, Ibiza was an island of farmers, healers, and fishermen. Its culture was built on connection—to the land, to the community, and to the moment. Families gathered after harvest to share food and music. Friends lingered under olive trees until the stars came out. Evenings ended with a small glass of hierbas—a home-made herbal spirit said to settle the stomach and the soul.
That ritual of gathering didn’t disappear when the parties arrived. It just moved into new spaces: a long table under fairy lights, a beach bar where the DJ knows everyone’s name, a simple drink shared between friends at sunset.
The Villages That Still Hold the Magic
Venture away from the coast and you’ll find the Ibiza that most travelers miss.
In Santa Gertrudis, artists and locals sip coffee in whitewashed squares that haven’t changed in decades. Sant Joan, in the island’s north, feels like a village from another century—organic markets, barefoot kids, slow smiles. Es Cubells clings to a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean, the kind of view that makes you believe in something again.
Each of these places offers a glimpse of an older rhythm. No lines, no logos. Just people, presence, and a quiet sense that life is meant to be shared.
From Ancient Elixirs to Modern Spirits
Among the island’s enduring traditions is its love affair with herbs. For centuries, Ibicencos have foraged wild fennel, thyme, and citrus leaves to create their own hierbas ibicencas—a potent green liqueur served after meals or at moments of celebration.
Basbas was born from that same soil and spirit. Using wild-foraged herbs and a ten-month maceration process, it carries the essence of Ibiza in every bottle. It’s not just a drink—it’s an invitation. To slow down. To connect. To feel the island, wherever you are.
The Spirit of Connection
In a world where everything moves faster, Ibiza remains a reminder of what matters. It’s not about escape—it’s about return. Return to flavor, to conversation, to community.
That’s the Ibiza we bottle.
