Ibiza & Formentera Highlights

There’s Ibiza, and then there’s Ibiza by yacht, a version of the island most never get to see. From the comfort of your floating villa, you slip away from the crowded beaches and tourist-filled streets and into the quieter, more exclusive corners of this legendary island. Think secret calas only accessible by sea, long lunches with your toes in the sand, and sunset dinners with panoramic views that take your breath away.

Just a short cruise away, Formentera offers a completely different vibe. Barefoot luxury, powdery beaches, and clear, calm waters that feel like a natural swimming pool. Chartering these two islands together is the ultimate Balearic experience. A perfect blend of vibrant energy and tranquil escape.

Here are some of the can’t-miss highlights to include in your Ibiza and Formentera itinerary:

Cala Jondal & Blue Marlin Vibes

Start your journey with a warm welcome aboard in Ibiza Town, then cruise to Cala Jondal, a stylish bay with clear waters and iconic beach clubs. Swim, relax, and ease into yacht life before tendering ashore to Blue Marlin Ibiza for sunset cocktails and music by the sea. For a quieter evening, enjoy grilled seafood and tapas onboard prepared fresh by your private chef.

Hidden Coves and Cala Bassa Beach Club

Explore the coastline with sea scooters and paddleboards, gliding through sea caves and hidden calas en route to Cala Bassa. Spend the afternoon at CBbC (Cala Bassa Beach Club) with fresh seafood, cocktails, and sun-drenched vibes. Return to your yacht for a relaxed dinner on deck under a star-studded sky.

Cotton Beach Club and Sunset in Cala Tarida

At Cala Tarida, wakeboarding and water toys get the adrenaline flowing, followed by a sun-soaked lunch onboard. In the evening, dine at Cotton Beach Club, where whitewashed elegance meets cliffside views and one of the best sunsets on the island.

Espalmador: Paella in Paradise

One of the absolute highlights of any yacht charter in the Balearics is Espalmador, a pristine, uninhabited island between Ibiza and Formentera. Wade through shallow turquoise waters, kayak the coastline, and unwind on the soft white sand. For lunch, your chef prepares traditional paella using the freshest local seafood and saffron. The aroma alone will make you fall in love with the Med all over again.

Formentera and Beso Beach Bliss

Next stop, Illetes, one of Spain’s most spectacular beaches. Spend the morning snorkeling the reef or floating in crystal-clear shallows before heading ashore for lunch at Beso Beach Formentera. Expect lively music, chic vibes, and unforgettable Basque-Mediterranean flavors. For dinner with a view, book a table at Es Molí de Sal or Chezz Gerdi. Formentera’s energy is slow, effortless, and incredibly stylish.

Sunset at Es Vedrà and Drums at Benirrás

No trip is complete without anchoring near Es Vedrà. This mystical rock formation rising from the sea is steeped in legend and spiritual energy. Swim in silence, sip a cocktail at golden hour, and watch the sky turn from amber to indigo. Later, cruise north to Cala Benirrás to join the famous drum circle at sunset. A soulful, barefoot celebration that captures the free spirit of Ibiza.

Ibiza Old Town, Amante, and Your Farewell Dinner

Spend your final day exploring Dalt Vila, Ibiza’s UNESCO-listed old town. Wander the cobbled streets, pick up artisan finds, and soak in the historic charm. That evening, make sure to dine at Amante, one of the island’s most romantic restaurants, perched on a cliff overlooking the sea. The views, the menu, and the atmosphere are pure magic. The perfect place to toast your final night.
