It’s no wonder Lacey Turner and Matt Kay describe their five-bedroom abode in Ibiza as their “happy place”.
From the swaying palm trees and stunning swimming pool to the boho chic interiors, the EastEnders actress and her husband have created an idyllic haven on the Balearic island for themselves and their children – son Trilby, five months, and daughter Dusty, who has just turned two.
And with travel restrictions finally easing, the couple jumped at the chance for some quality time as a family before Lacey returns to her role as Stacey Slater on the BBC One soap after six months of maternity leave.
“It’s where we feel most like us,” smiles Lacey, 33, as she welcomes OK! onto the Spanish island where she and Matt tied the knot nearly four years ago. “I just love everything about it. It’s still so untouched, it has beautiful sunsets, so much greenery and the best beaches.”
Here, Lacey and Matt talk about Lacey’s return to work and whether or not a permanent move to Ibiza could be on the cards…
Hi both! Tell us about your beautiful home…
Lacey: We’ve had this place for three years. We really wanted to keep it traditional and I wanted it to feel Spanish so we’re trying to put all the original features back in. It’s quite Ibiza-esque and we have lots of colour, prints and patterns. It makes us feel happy. We have someone who keeps an eye on it for us and makes sure it’s still standing when we’re not here. We also rent it out to family and friends.
