1. Visit to the island of Es Vedra

Have you heard about the mysteries of Es Vedra? This island is one of the most attractive places in the Balearic Islands, accessible only by yacht.

Es Vedra is said to be one of the most magnetic points on the planet, this energy originating at the base of the cliff and exiting through the highest point: it has been compared to the stones of Stonehenge, the Egyptian pyramids and the Easter Island statues.

Legend has it that this is the home of the nymphs and mermaids who tried to seduce Ulysses in Homer's Odyssey, as well as the birthplace of the goddess Tanit, whose statues you will find all over the island. Many claim that it is also the site of UFO sightings and strange phenomena... Some sailors have reported that, as in the Bermuda Triangle, boats and navigation systems suffered from malfunctions and strange interference.

Whether it's because of its magnetic power or its natural beauty, no charter yacht misses the opportunity to stop at Es Vedra to watch the sunset. In addition, those who have been here say that the magic is so strong that it has a positive effect on visitors, which is why it is an indispensable place during a yacht charter vacation.

2. Set sail to Formentera

Just a couple of hours sailing from Ibiza, a visit to Formentera is highly recommended to enjoy its laidback, peaceful atmosphere. The sea around the island is luminous, one of the best and the bluest parts in the Mediterranean.

Among the best beaches of Formentera are Ses Illetes, Llevant, Es Arenals, Es Migjorn and Cala Saona. One of the «must-sees» is Playa Ses Illetes- a famous sandy beach which is a mile long and consists the prairies of Posidonia oceánica (seagrass) that have been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. 

3. Spent time on the desert island of Espalmador

This inhabited island, recently owned by a rich family from Luxembourg, is perfect for lovers of nature and tranquility, since it is a virgin island without roads or buildings.

Here you can relax on the beach, swim in the sea, or just enjoy a walk along the trails that cross the island. As it is a private island that you can only access by boat, you will feel as if you were on your own beach.

Upon arrival, find a field of buoys here where you can moor the boat and spend the night in the middle of a paradise like Espalmador, with the advantage that you will be as safe as in the marina, since it is protected by the island of S'Alga and there are practically no waves.

And it is important to remember to have everything you need onboard to spend a day in this corner of paradise, you will not find water or food!

This is a great spot to view beautiful sunsets with your besties and enjoy the incredible scenery.

4. Watching the sunset in San Antonio

A sunset in Ibiza is truly indescribable. It’s true, the sun is the same all over the world, but what makes it unique here are the turquoise waters, clean atmosphere, distance from big cities and lack of light pollution. To rent a catamaran with your friends or family is the best option to enjoy the most famous sunset in Ibiza. Among the best Sunset options are Cala d’Hort, Cala Conta, Cala Bassa, Conejera Island or the famous beach clubs, like Mambo or Sunset Ashram. But one of the most recommended is Café del Mar in San Antonio.

5. Visit Dalt Vila, Ibiza old walled city

To finish off your Ibiza charter, moor at our base marina, we recommend taking a stroll through the old town.

Dalt Vila, the walled town of Ibiza, is one of the places not to be missed in Ibiza because it dates back to the founding years of the island and also because it shows a different face of a place that has gone down in history thanks to its parties and paradise beaches.

This walled city is also one of the oldest in Spain. Topped by the Portal de Ses Taules, it contains the Cathedral, Castle and Plaza de Armas, while the ruins of a medieval wall house one of the symbols of the Spanish resistance in the Balearic Sea.
