Villa break-ins are common here in Ibiza - but this should not deter you from renting a private villa for your vacation. Villa robberies are common because luxury properties are rented without effective security in place. Most high-end villas have modern alarm systems but when they are triggered by a forced-entry the response time for the alarm company's agent to arrive at the property is often 50-60 minutes. This is why you need a professional guard onsite at the villa.

 

When clients request additional security guards through their villa agent or concierge, it's common practice to source the lowest cost service to maximise the agents profit margins. They often keep 50% of the clients payment and hire low-cost, untrained & ineffective security...

​

​

• Luxury villas usually have a sophisticated alarm system that alerts a security company when there is a break-in. Unfortunately here in Ibiza the average time for a mobile guard to arrive is 50-60minutes... plenty of time for thieves to take whatever valuables are at the property.

​

 

• Local Police forces are overwhelmed with controlling tourism-related issues during the summer months and villa break-ins are extremely difficult to control. This is why criminal gangs have turned their focus on villas.

​

 

• Gangs have developed their own network of 'insiders' who feed useful information to them about wealthy villa guests.

​

 

• Criminals wait outside clubs & restaurants - identifying people with high value watches & jewellery... these victims are being followed back to their villas... and so the process begins.

​

 

• Sophisticated gangs use portable signal-blockers to circumnavigate alarm systems & prevent calls to the Police. Gas has also become a tool used to keep clients from waking up.

​

 

• When you ask a middleman / agency / concierge to organize security for you - their choices are based on their profit-margins. Their choices are putting you & your property at risk!
