Bodyguard in Ibiza

Discreet island protection & VIP security.

The Mediterranean's exclusive playground

Privacy at the heart of the party.

Ibiza draws an extraordinary summer concentration of ultra-high-net-worth visitors, entertainers and entrepreneurs — to its cliffside villa estates, its superyacht moorings and its world-famous nightlife. Behind the glamour, that visibility creates a very specific protection challenge.

From the villa enclaves of Es Cubells, Roca Llisa and Cala Jondal to Marina Ibiza and the clubs of Playa d'en Bossa, Algoz delivers protection that lets clients move freely through the island's most exclusive settings while remaining entirely at ease.

Spanish Licensing (Ley 5/2014)

Why protection in Ibiza must be licensed.

In Spain, private security is governed by Ley 5/2014 de Seguridad Privada. A personal protection officer (escolta privado) must hold the official professional card (TIP) issued by the Ministry of the Interior; armed escort is permitted only for accredited escoltas under strict conditions.

Algoz coordinates protection in Ibiza exclusively through this licensed framework, with every operative TIP-accredited, NDA-bound and discreet. See how our close protection works, add concierge and secure transport, or extend across Mallorca and Barcelona.

Indicative Investment

What protection in Ibiza costs.

As a guide, professional close protection in Spain is, in 2026, typically USD 550–850 per day for a single principal on twelve-hour cover, with the final rate confirmed on enquiry and no obligation. Specialist profiles, armed or armoured requirements, short-notice mobilisation and peak season carry a premium.

Important Legal Notice — Security & Close Protection

Algoz FZ-LLC (Trade License 5033995 | TRN 105119056700001) is licensed for Businessmen Services and Lifestyle Development Consultancy by RAKEZ. We do not directly provide armed or unarmed security, bodyguard or close-protection services. All operational execution is performed exclusively by licensed third-party partners holding the necessary local permits (e.g. private-security licensing under Spain's Ley 5/2014 de Seguridad Privada). We provide direct assistance and support in partnership with local regulated providers, complying with local laws. Clients are responsible for obtaining any required approvals. Armed services require a minimum 30-day lead time for authorisation, which may be refused. All activities comply with UAE laws and RAKEZ regulations.

Bodyguard in Ibiza — Frequently Asked Questions

Why use Algoz rather than hiring a local security agency in Ibiza directly?

Because vetting an unknown local security agency in Ibiza yourself is where the real risk lies. Standards, licensing and discipline vary widely between firms, and a principal cannot tell a properly licensed, reliable operator from an underqualified one until something goes wrong in the field, when it is already too late. Algoz knows the Ibiza market in Spain: we have already worked with these providers, vetted them and kept only the best. Engage us and we select the right team for your profile, brief them under NDA and supervise them closely against our own standard throughout — so you gain genuine local knowledge and full licensing without gambling on an untested agency. One accountable point of contact owns the outcome, and you are never left managing an unfamiliar vendor in a foreign city.

Is it legal to hire a bodyguard (escolta) in Spain?

Yes. Under Ley 5/2014 de Seguridad Privada, a personal protection officer (escolta privado) must hold the official TIP card from the Ministry of the Interior. Algoz coordinates only accredited Spanish escoltas, under NDA.

Do you protect principals and families visiting Ibiza?

Yes. Licensed officers and secure transport cover villas, yachts, clubs and events for visiting principals and families through the season, coordinated discreetly through one contact.

Do you cover private villas across the island?

Yes. We provide residential security for villa estates across Es Cubells, Roca Llisa, Cala Jondal, San Jose and the wider island, including access control and overnight presence.

Can you coordinate yacht and marina security?

Yes. For clients berthed at Marina Ibiza or chartering around the Balearics, we manage marina access, tender operations and crew liaison alongside land-based protection.

Is protection discreet at clubs and beach clubs?

Yes. Our operatives are trained to provide low-profile cover that never intrudes on the experience, managing access and movement quietly in the background.

Are your operatives licensed in Spain?

Yes. All operational execution is carried out by partners holding the required Spanish private-security licensing, fluent in English and Spanish with further languages on request.

Can the client choose the bodyguard they prefer?

In many cases, yes. Given sufficient notice, and provided the request can be accommodated without compromising safety, the client may select the profile of the operative, and in most engagements is offered this choice. It cannot, however, override our professional security assessment, which always takes precedence.
