Reinventing Can Basso

Ibiza living: Reinventing Can Basso




Amber Developments boast a well-deserved reputation as the company who delivers effective project management when it comes to villa redesign and development in Ibiza. Known for the ability for fast-tracking results, working precisely to a brief, ensuring maximum efficiency onsite and sourcing the highest possible craftsmanship and materials means Gray Gillot and his team are an asset to anyone looking to breathe new life into an Ibiza property.

Can Basso is a recently completed project that ticked all the above boxes. The six-bedroom villa, set on a lush hillside in San Jose, was purchased as a holiday home by its UK-based owner, who wanted to inject his own style and personality into the property, while also updating some of the more tired elements hailing from its original construction. The house itself needed a major overhaul – needing all-new tiling, flooring, plumbing, interiors and bathrooms, plus contemporary treatments to bring its traditional hacienda style aesthetic up to date with current trends.


Amber Developments finalised the redesign of the project and the budget, based on the client’s brief to modernise and update, within four weeks, and then it was action all stations, with the aim to have Can Basso ready for summer 2017. In March, Amber Developments enlisted the services of five subcontractors to work simultaneously on the property, ensuring its timely completion. “This is how we were able to get the job done so quickly,” explains Gray, who was onsite to make sure everything ran smoothly and each team could do their jobs without running into any issues with others, while his client was travelling extensively with his own work.


Just four months after the contractors entered Can Basso, the project was completed in June 2017 – just in time to celebrate the beginning of its new life as a summer home. Completely reinvented, the villa is a testament to the design skills of Amber Developments, and its execution yet another example of their ability to get the job done, on time, on budget and to the highest possible standards.

FROM OLD to NEW ........ or NEW to OLD, depending on your point of view !!!!



This fabulous project took under 8 months to complete. We also had the privilege of working in this beautiful, unspoilt part of the island - San Augustin. 

Amber Developments provided a complete turnkey package on this project, starting with various architectural solutions then overseeing all of the planning permissions and all relevant legal work before carrying out all of the project management of the detailed construction and refurbishment works. 

This fantastic scheme consisted of a full interior and exterior refurbishment and the external pool and garden areas. The clients dream was to convert the fairly new looking Villa into an old, original looking Finca using traditional Ibithencan building methods and materials, whilst incorporating all of the latest energy saving technologies and infrastructure  

This is our second project for this client and we look forward to providing the same services on numerous other projects we have in the pipeline!

Amber Developments: Yoga Retreat redevelopment

"Amber Developments was commissioned to create a tranquil, yet functional yoga facility within the grounds of Can Verru. To take a previously unused ravine area close to the beautifully restored villa and transform it into a professional yoga space without veering away from its traditional Ibicencan style and décor"
