Best known for its vibrant nightlife and captivating culture, Ibiza is a true paradise for holiday-makers. Ibiza spends the Summer months pulsating with the seasonal sounds of live music and dancing feet. Despite it’s reputation, The White Isle is so much more than a party-paradise. Away from the clubs, Ibiza yacht charters offer the chance to relax and explore to a backdrop that is all but cinematic. Bathe in the glow of glorious sun-sets, immerse yourself in healing mud baths, frequent boutique outlets, hop from island to island and delve into a rich historical past. There are more reasons than are worth counting as to why Ibiza is quickly becoming one of the most popular Mediterranean yacht charter destinations.

Temperatures range from mid twenties to mid thirties, rainfall is at a minimum and the Mediterranean is calm and a cool twenty-six degrees.

Make a wish when the stunning island comes into view, and offer a salute when you leave to ensure a welcomed return, as you will certainly want to.

Top Things to Do and See on Ibiza Yacht Charters

  • Es Vedra: this 400m high limestone island is a popular protagonist in ancient mythology. It’s believed to be the home of the sirens that tried to lure Ulysses from his ship in Homer’s Odyssey. Make a wish when the stunning island comes into view, and offer a salute when you leave to ensure a welcomed return. A must see on all Ibiza yacht charters. For the adventurers among us, spend an afternoon attempting to find the nearby cave of Atlantis. The location of this cave is a closely guarded secret by the locals. However, the lucky few who have found the entrance speak fondly of a spiritual and idyllic setting well worth the challenge.
  • Illa de Tagomago, a private island lying off of the East coast of Ibiza. Tagomago is a favorite among the A-list elite (if it’s good enough for Cristiano Ronaldo…). A secluded villa with staff of 9 is located on the island, with a stunning swimming pool and bar reserved for the villa’s occupiers. The perfect weekend getaway after a busy week of island hopping on your Ibiza yacht charter? We think so.
  • San Antonio Sunsets and Nightlife: visit the port of San Antonio to enjoy the gorgeous Ibiza sunset and the famed nightlife. Popular beach clubs in the San Antonio region include Café del Mar, Kumharas and Sunset Ashram. Visit in August during the Fiesta of Saint Bartholomew to enjoy a spectacular fireworks display and an even-livelier-than-normal atmosphere in the resort.

Famed for its crystal clear waters and magical marine life, a yacht charter in Ibiza benefits from some of the best snorkeling conditions in the Mediterranean.

Explore Ibiza’s Natural Beauty

  • Snorkeling: Famed for its crystal clear waters and magical marine life, Ibiza yacht charters benefit from some of the best snorkeling conditions in the Mediterranean. For calm waters and rocky seas beds, visit Aguas Blancas on the North shore or Cala Conta to the South of San Antonio. For more dramatic rock and cliff formations, visit Cala Xarraca near Portinatx or Punta Galera to the West. Both of these locations are simply breathtaking.
  • Climb Sa Talaiassa: The highest mountain on Ibiza at 475m. The peak of this impressive structure offers staggering panoramic views of the island. Just a 1-hour climb from the village of Saint Joseph, conquering the largest mountain on the island is easier than it sounds. This adventure is well worth a couple of hours away from your private yacht, with immaculate views and bragging rights to be won!
  • Dalt Vila: The medieval quarter of Ibiza Town, Dalt Vila is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a highlight of Ibiza’s capital. Enter the old town through the impressive drawbridge and quickly get lost in the enchanting cobbled streets that snake upwards towards the Cathedral and castle. Noteworthy stops include the Museum of Contemporary Art and archaeological museum, offering some insight into the region’s past and present.

 

Picturesque Scenery and Beautiful Sunsets

  • Puig Missa: The teetering town looks over the Mediterranean from its lofty on the Southeast coast of Ibiza. The church and watchtower date back to the 16th century. Back then measures were taken to protect inhabitants from attacking pirates. Now the impressive settlement can be reached by foot. The challenging climb is rewarded with picturesque views of the scenery below. Reward yourself with a cocktail in nearby Nikki Beach before returning to your charter yacht for a well-earned rest.
  • Formentera: 3 nautical miles south of mainland Ibiza is Formentera. This island is a dramatic contrast to the lively White Isle. Accessible only by yacht or boat and largely untouched by modern development. The largest town Sant Francesc Xavier is in fact a small village, and travel on the island is limited to bicycles and scooters. This uber-relaxed island is famed for its tranquil (and nudist) beaches with the largest beach Playa Mitjorn to the South. It also has wildlife-rich salt pans, the El Pilar de la Mola artisan market, Juan Y Andrea seafood restaurant and a series of surreal bars. Pirata Bus is a personal favorite, hosted by a once abandoned bus, and proudly flying a pirate flag above its roof. The island is a unique and refreshing look at laid back island living.
  • Es Palmador: this uninhabited island lies between Ibiza and Formentera. A worthy inclusion on an Ibiza yacht rental vacation, with relaxing mud-baths and unspoiled beaches. Accessible only by water, the crowds associated with Ibiza town stay away from this Balearic paradise.
