At the start of this year, we announced this refurbishment project in Ibiza. Through a joint venture between Ferrá Tur (Grupo Ferrá) and Estel Ingeniería we undertook the 2nd phase of the renovation works of the iconic Hotel Club San Miguel, that will also change its name to Siau Ibiza Hotel.
Today we are proudly sharing with you the results of this project, thanks to this photo reportage by Simón García of Arqfoto.
Project’s goals
On this phase we have worked on the building envelope, technical systems and finishes, as well as on the footpaths and outdoor lighting on the hotel grounds, the swimming pool areas and landscaped areas of the resort.
Siau Ibiza Hotel after the 2nd phase of the renovation
This holiday resort will reopen as an adults-only hotel, and it has been upgraded from 3 to 5 stars. Its 96 rooms, distributed over 6 one-floor buildings, are connected through the central building housing the reception area, bars and restaurants.
The common areas of this 5-star hotel located in Puerto de San Miguel include 2 swimming pools, several multi-purpose conference rooms, as well as buffet and show-cooking areas.
We would like to extend our gratitude to AIA Arquitectura i Instal·lacions - the architecture firm responsible for this project - and all the professionals that have contributed their expertise to this project.

We continue expanding our project portfolio in Ibiza with the construction of the Corallisa Signature Homes Ibiza show home. This residential complex will comprise 20 luxury villas located in the vicinity of the Roca Llisa golf course, on the White Island.
This villa will be the 1st of this exclusive, modern and sustainable neighbourhood.
Does it sound appealing? Here we will give you all the details.
See what the 1st show home with views over Roca Llisa will look like

The main entrance will be located on the 1st floor and all the house floors will be accessible through an indoor staircase, an outdoor one and a 4-person lift.
Here you will find a video to see what the villa will look like:
Outdoor areas with endless possibilities
In addition to a detached house built with high quality finishes and features, its outdoor areas will include:
Local and natural materials
The design, which makes extensive use of materials such as Ibiza marés sandstone, limestone, Cortizo aluminium windows and doors and natural oak wood, helps integrate the house into the surrounding natural environment.
As a result, the façade will mainly combine Ibiza marés sandstone cladding with Parklex-type wooden panels, while floors will be made of limestone tiles.
Wood will also be used on the house’s indoor and outdoor finishes.
Efficient and sustainable construction
As well as exclusivity, privacy and luxury, the villa integrates both aesthetically and functionally into the surrounding natural environment. In fact, we will carry out this construction project pursuant to certification standards that guarantee a maximum sustainability, and we will install technical systems that will make this home both efficient and environmentally friendly.
For this reason, domestic and sanitary hot water production, radiant floor heating and air conditioning will be provided by a system comprising indoor and outdoor units, with Airzone controls. Furthermore, the house will incorporate a filtering system for drinking water.
Sustainable construction certifications
To guarantee a minimal environmental impact for this construction project, all our processes will be geared towards achieving an A energy rating under CTE (Spanish Technical Building Code).
As a leading company in sustainable and high-quality construction in the Balearic Islands, Grupo Ferrá is immensely proud to be taking part in this project under CMV Arquitectos as project managers.

This month The Lux Golf visited our offices in Palma to interview Ana and Tomeu Ferrá, the 4th generation of our family-owned construction company. They were both delighted to host the golf magazine endorsed by the Tourism Agency of the Balearic Islands (AETIB), which is also a member of the Spanish Luxury Association. Within AETIB’s Product Club, The Lux Golf belongs to the Luxury Set, as the only publication among its members.
Through their answers, the Ferrá siblings offered the readers of The Lux Golf an overview of the origins and evolution of Grupo Ferrá, as well of the main challenges that the company currently faces.
Building our history since 1890
“At the time, the masonry trade was very artisanal and therefore it required a great deal of manpower”, explained the Ferrá siblings when talking about their great-grandfather, Pedro Francisco Ferrá Mir, the founder of the company.
Quality, innovation and diversification in construction
Both Ana and Tomeu Ferrá consider that the company's unwavering commitment to these 3 values is the key to the success achieved by Grupo Ferrá along these 130 years.
They also explain that “we have stayed true to our goal of offering a high-quality service, incorporating new trends and diversifying our activity to meet the needs of our clients […] doubtlessly, this has helped us position ourselves as a leader in luxury residential properties and in the construction and renovation of hotels.”
From master bricklayer to a leading construction company the Balearic Islands
The business that Pedro Francisco Ferrá Mir started by undertaking masonry projects for “families from the nobility” has evolved over the 4 generations of the Ferrá family to become a leader in the construction industry in the Balearic Islands.
Within this context, the Ferrá siblings add that, “nowadays, Grupo Ferrá has 3 business units: Ferrá Tur (the parent company), Baltyc and Protech. Through these three business units we offer services that include the construction of new buildings and the refurbishment and maintenance of all kinds of buildings, as well as occupational health and safety management.
“A great team”
This is how Ana and Tomeu Ferrá define the whole Grupo Ferrá team. Consisting of 70 professionals that can meet any need within the construction industry, the team is structured in 4 divisions.
“A team that, under the leadership of Antoni Gurrera (Managing Director of Ferrá Tur) together with the Family Council, ensures that our basic principles of quality assurance and safety are observed at all times. Concerning the management, my father Pedro Ferrá, my brother Tomeu and myself are the members of the Family Council of Grupo Ferrá. In my case, I’m also a member of the Executive Committee as the Marketing and Communication Director of the company” further explains Ana.
Excellent reception in Ibiza
The opening of our new delegation in Ibiza at the beginning of the year has also aroused the interest of The Lux Golf, who wanted to hear about the management team’s experience:
“We are really grateful for the excellent reception that we have been given by companies and suppliers on the island”, commented Ana and Tomeu.
Future prospects
When we asked them how they envisage the evolution of their activities on the island, Ana and Tomeu Ferrá explained that “we intend to establish stable and long-lasting relationships with local companies and suppliers, with the goal of jointly taking advantage of the opportunities that will surely arise”.
Lastly, they add that “we are currently completing the execution of the 2nd Phase of the Renovation Project of the Siau Ibiza Hotel, a landmark property located at Puerto San Miguel and until recently known as the Hotel San Miguel”.
Grupo Ferrá would like to thank The Lux of Golf for their time and for the interest that they have shown in telling the story of our company through the eyes of its 4th generation.

At Grupo Ferrá we have always strived to keep up to date on our industry in order to be able to adapt to the latest trends. As a result, when we were told about the Ibiza Home Meeting, we decided that we had to participate in this event.
During the weekend of the 25th through the 27th of June, the Ibiza Exhibition Hall will host this 1st Real Estate and Construction Fair of Ibiza. This event is geared towards people seeking inspiration or suppliers for their home project, as well as towards companies and professionals in the fields of construction, architecture, decoration and interior design, suppliers of materials or services, as well as real estate.
Ibiza Home Meeting TV interview Toni Gurrera
In addition to the event, which includes conferences, firm presentations and an entertainment area, and which will take place at the end of June, Ibiza Home Meeting has created its own TV channel. Through this channel it will present all the companies taking part in this event.
In our case, they recently interviewed Toni Gurrera, Ferrá Tur’s General Manager. During the course of this interview, Toni explained our corporate philosophy, how our company works, the composition of our team and the main goal of our new delegation in Ibiza.

“A very fitting idea”

Let’s meet from the 25th through the 27th of June at the Ibiza Exhibition Hall!
At the end of the month of April, Grupo Ferrá started a new construction project in the breath-taking Serra de Tramuntana. Just days ago, we commenced the works for the 1st phase of the construction of Villas Falcó.
5 new luxury villas on the mountains and close to Palma
Located in Génova, the villas will enjoy a quiet environment and have been designed with an optimal orientation to take full advantage of the scenic views over the Tramuntana mountain range. These features are complemented by the convenience of having the amenities of Palma close at hand, just a few minutes away by car.
As part of this 1st phase of work we will build the structure of the 5 villas. Each one will have a built-up area of between 375 and 475 m2, depending on the villa. All villas will have 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms distributed over 2 floors, as well as various terraces, a garage and a private swimming pool.
Construction details
All villas will have specific details and features that make them individual and distinctive. However, they all share elements such as the materials used, for instance wood on fences and pergolas, and natural materials that help integrate the villas into their surroundings.
Grupo Ferrá would like to thank Bacco Properties for the trust that they have placed in our company.

“With this new office, Grupo Ferrá meets two of its strategic goals, territorial diversification and expansion of its service portfolio adding the construction of hotel buildings. The maturity, professionalism and reliability acquired in our very long history guarantee that we will consolidate our presence on the island, just as we have done in Majorca.”
Ferrá Tur’s General Manager, Toni Gurrera is confident that, in spite of the current circumstances, this is a new business opportunity for the company: “We have been studying the possibility of opening a new branch office in Ibiza for quite a long time and over this last year, due to the various projects that we have been contemplating in the island, we have come to the conclusion that this was the right moment to take this step forward. We have the intention of making this a long-term project and consolidating our presence on the island by establishing robust relationships with companies and suppliers, as well as by taking advantage of the new opportunities that will surely arise. We are convinced that Ibiza and Formentera will be among the first regions to experience a strong reactivation of their economies and our medium and long-term projections are very promising. At present we are very satisfied to be implementing the significant renovation of the former San Miguel Hotel, a landmark hotel establishment in the island located at the port of San Miguel”.
