The Italian model has been the face of campaigns for designers such as Alexander McQueen, Fendi,&nbsp; Givenchy, Prada, Versace and Valentino, and is currently&nbsp;the ambassador of Chanel Beauty. She lives in the south of the island with her husband, the DJ and producer Matteo Milleri. The pair married in a simple ceremony at Es Cubells in June 2020.&nbsp;

In Ibiza there's a different&nbsp;feeling&nbsp;and pace of life and so when I'm here I'm able to completely switch off. I can just leave my phone somewhere,&nbsp;go to a cave with a&nbsp;kayak&nbsp;and&nbsp;forget about the&nbsp;outside world.

L&rsquo;OFFICIEL IBIZA:&nbsp;How did you discover the island?
VITTORIA CERETTI:&nbsp;I came to Ibiza for the first time in 2016,&nbsp;with a friend of mine who didn't know much of the&nbsp; island. Then I came again with someone who lived here,&nbsp; and it was a completely different experience the second&nbsp; time around. They took me to all of the secret beaches&nbsp; and the beautiful hidden places that I hadn&rsquo;t discovered&nbsp; before. That&rsquo;s when I really saw the island and felt this&nbsp; connection to it. There was so much I didn&rsquo;t know about&nbsp; Ibiza. And then just before the pandemic, I came here&nbsp; with my husband, and that&rsquo;s when I moved here.&nbsp;
LOI:&nbsp;What does life in Ibiza look like for you?&nbsp;
VC:&nbsp;I love going to Cala Pluma, which is one of my&nbsp; favourite secluded spots. And my husband and I also&nbsp; love Aguas Blancas, where they have the best bocadillos.&nbsp; I&rsquo;m obsessed with that chiringuito. We also like visiting&nbsp; Benirr&aacute;s and taking kayaks to explore the coastline and&nbsp; the caves around there. And we love going to see Es&nbsp; Vedr&aacute;. This is an incredible island &ndash; there&rsquo;s so much to&nbsp; do here. Mostly we prefer to be in places where there&nbsp; aren&rsquo;t too many people, so we go on a lot of hikes in the&nbsp;north of the island. When we&rsquo;re staying in Ibiza we really&nbsp; love to separate from other people as much as we can, spending time by ourselves and connecting to nature.&nbsp;
LOI:&nbsp;Is that a good contrast with the rest of your life? You must&nbsp; spend a lot of time taking flights and being in busy urban environments.&nbsp;
VC:&nbsp;Absolutely. I spend a lot of time in airports, surrounded&nbsp; by people on the set and with lots happening around me&nbsp; backstage at a show. There&rsquo;s a lot of chaos in my life. I&rsquo;m&nbsp; usually very connected to my phone and I always have it&nbsp; on me. But in Ibiza there&rsquo;s a different feeling and pace of&nbsp; life and so when I&rsquo;m here I&rsquo;m able to completely switch&nbsp; off. I can just leave my phone somewhere, go to a cave with a kayak and forget about the outside world.
LOI:&nbsp;When you were growing up, were you living in a country&nbsp; environment or were you in the city?&nbsp;
VC:&nbsp;My parents have a house by Lake Garda, in northern&nbsp; Italy, so when I was growing up we used to go and spend&nbsp; three or four months there every year during the summer.&nbsp; And there I was very connected to nature. Obviously, I&nbsp; was younger, so I didn&rsquo;t have a phone back then either,&nbsp; so it was really a place to connect to the land. My cousin&nbsp; used to knock on my door to wake me up at 7am and we&nbsp; would go to do gardening and help a local lady with her&nbsp; chickens. At the end of the day, she used to give us some&nbsp; of the vegetables that she was growing to thank us for&nbsp; helping her. So, nature was something that I was always&nbsp; really close to and that was very important to me when I&nbsp; was growing up.&nbsp;
LOI:&nbsp;Ibiza seems to be increasingly full of young creatives who&nbsp; work in fashion, music and design. Why do you think they are&nbsp; drawn to the island?&nbsp;
VC:&nbsp;I think Ibiza has always been an island for creatives.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s a place where imaginative people have always liked&nbsp; to come and spend time, and where you&rsquo;re free to be a&nbsp; bit of an outsider. Designers were always connected to&nbsp; the music scene and I feel that now fashion and music&nbsp; are melting into each other too. These industries have become so much more connected than they used to be,&nbsp; especially in the last three or four years. My husband and I haven&rsquo;t collaborated on anything specific yet, but we&nbsp; definitely cross into each other&rsquo;s worlds. We enjoy that &ndash;&nbsp; it&rsquo;s natural for us to share the best parts of what we do.&nbsp;
LOI:&nbsp;Will you stay on the island for the whole summer, or do you&nbsp; have other plans?&nbsp;&nbsp;
VC:&nbsp;We usually move here in May and we stay for as long as&nbsp; we can. I have fashion shows in September, so I normally&nbsp; have to travel to New York and do that round trip. But&nbsp; after the shows have finished, we always try to come back&nbsp; here for a couple of weeks in October. October is one of my&nbsp; favourite months in Ibiza, as most other people are leaving&nbsp; then and there&rsquo;s a very tranquil feeling. The weather is still&nbsp; amazing too &ndash; even though it's starting to become wintry&nbsp; in many other parts of the world, here it&rsquo;s still warm. So, we always spend our summers here but maybe this year we'll stay longer. I want to grow old on this island! If I could take one thing from here with me when I travel, it would be the colour of the water in Formentera. I love it so much.
