As you drive towards the sea through the rolling green San Jose hills, you’ll find a magical destination en route that is as much a priority to visit as its mystical neighbour
Es Vedra. Discover
KsaR, the spectacular
interiors showroom and store at Cala Carbo.
The inspiration of Barcelona born fashion designer
Alberto Cortes and his wife, Dutch interiors expert
Yvonna Holst,
KsaR is Ibiza’s premier locale for those looking to turn their house (or Ibicencan finca) into a home.
Translating in Arabic to palace,
KsaR is an apt description for the space Alberto lovingly refers to as their creative laboratory, home to a plethora of wares sourced from exotic global locations like Morocco, Indonesia, Thailand and Milan.
The couple offer a full
interior design service from concept to completion, whether for bathroom, bedroom, living area, an entire villa or even high-end
hotels. For those not in the market to redesign, simply peruse the store for whatever takes your fancy a temptation many islanders have succumbed to since
KsaR’s inception a year ago.
From exquisite bespoke furniture such as wooden tables, four-poster beds, swinging wicker chairs and teak bookshelves to embroidered wall hangings, woollen carpets to amazing tiles including mosaic, marble, pebbles and tadelact, striking natural stucco made from chalk.
Then there are the
heart and soul adding extras (or gifts for those who have everything), from atmospheric Moroccan lighting, exotic tea sets and ceramic soap holders right down to the ultimate in luxury: 470 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets.
Alberto describes the
KsaR style as holiday architecture, based around natural stones and wood, rustic yet exotic, a tactile mix of cultures and colours with the aim to make you feel simultaneously at home and on holiday.
A true palace of pleasures indeed…
