The Story Behind Baliaric
Baliaric was born from the personal journey of its founder, Javier, a native of Mallorca in the Balearic Islands. Inspired by the natural beauty and effortless elegance of his Mediterranean roots, Javier discovered a deep connection with the artistic soul of Bali. This fusion of two island cultures—each with its own unique traditions and artistic expression—became the foundation of Baliaric.
A Cultural Bridge Between Bali and Ibiza
During the 1970s and 1980s, both Ibiza and Bali became sanctuaries for bohemian communities—artists, musicians, and free spirits drawn to their natural beauty and relaxed lifestyles. This shared history of creative freedom and cultural exploration continues to inspire the designs at Baliaric.

Ibiza: The Birthplace of Boho Chic
As artists and travelers began spending half the year in Bali and the other half in Ibiza, they naturally carried with them elements of Balinese design that slowly shaped Ibiza’s distinctive style.
As the cultural exchange between Bali and Ibiza deepened, Ibiza naturally embraced the free-spirited, artistic essence of Balinese design. This influence gave rise to the iconic Boho Chic style—a perfect blend of bohemian freedom and natural elegance.
Handcrafted elements like woven textiles, rattan furniture, and ornate wood carvings became central to Ibiza's aesthetic. Combined with Mediterranean minimalism, this style evolved into the relaxed yet sophisticated look that defines the island’s villas, beach clubs, and outdoor spaces today.
At Baliaric, we honor the legacy of Boho Chic by offering handcrafted Balinese parasols that merge this free-spirited design with timeless Mediterranean elegance—turning any outdoor space into a sanctuary of style and tranquility.
