BAYS AND ANCHORAGES IN IBIZA AND FORMENTERA

Ibiza is the third largest island in the Balearic Islands and is known as the party island, but it has much more to offer. You can find this out on a sailing trip or a boat excursion. Whether on a charter sailing boat or a motor yacht, there is nothing better than the feeling of sailing across the sea and dropping anchor in the most beautiful bays.

As a yacht charter company, we offer boats of all sizes and types, with and without a helmsman. Discover Ibiza and Formentera and their most beautiful bays with us.

The island has a coastline of 65 nautical miles, which can be sailed around in a relaxed manner within a week. The island is not very challenging to navigate as there are rarely any shallows. The north coast of Ibiza offers greater variety than the south.

Cala Bassa

The irregular bay with low rocks and pine trees and the golden sand has calm, crystal-clear water with good anchoring conditions on a bed of rock and seaweed and a depth of between 8 and 15 meters.

Cala Espalmador

Located to the north of Formentera. The bay of Espalmador is no longer ideal for anchoring and swimming, as the water is becoming increasingly polluted. Otherwise, it offers protection from almost all wind directions in the north. The southern bay offers an excellent anchorage.

Cala Jondal

The bay is part of the large Bahía de Porroig. The stretch of coast is very large and has a sandy shingle with sandy areas. There are two areas suitable for anchoring, one to the east on a sandy bottom and another to the west on a sand and seaweed bottom.

Cala Llonga

The deep bay is wooded and there is a beautiful sandy beach at the apex. The anchorage is on sand that holds well and is overgrown with seaweed in some places. If the wind blows from the east, the bay should be avoided as there is a heavy swell.

Cala Molí

A beautiful little anchorage bay with a good anchorage ground. We recommend anchoring in the middle of the cala, on a sandy bottom and at a depth of between 4 and 10 meters. There are occasional swells. On land you can visit a beach bar with a restaurant and pool.

Cala Portinax

A very attractive anchorage bay with a bathing beach, a few restaurants and hotels. The bay is dangerous in mistral winds as it is open to the north. The outer area is an excellent place for sailing sports.

Cala Salada

This small sheltered sandy bay is a favorite destination for many boat owners, as none of the tourist ferries dock here. The water is crystal clear and perfect for snorkeling. Anchoring is recommended in the middle of the inlet.

Cala San Vincente

This partly wooded bay has a slight wave even in calm weather. In winds from the S and E, it is better to head for Punta Grossa Bay. The anchorage consists of sand and seagrass hills. There are hotels, restaurants and a supermarket ashore.

Cala Saona

A small, picturesque bay framed by rocks in the west of the island. If the sea permits, you should anchor here. When there is no wind and a light easterly wind, it is a fantastic anchorage where you can watch the sunset.

Cala Savina

A little north of the harbor, depending on the wind direction, you can anchor safely. There are numerous restaurants, a few small bars and a supermarket. As La Savina is popular with yacht owners, it has a slightly exclusive feel, without sacrificing the coziness.

Cala Talamanca

This bay lies to the east of the headland off Ibiza Town. It is quite safe here, but the airport approach path runs right through it.

Cala Vedella

A very scenic bay with a narrow entrance that offers good protection from the swell. It is ideal for anchoring in the middle on a sand and seagrass bottom at a depth of between 8 and 12 meters. During the day, the bay is very lively and noisy.

Cala d'Hort

A beautiful bay with magnificent views of the rocky island of Es Vedra. The inlet has a steep, irregular coastline surrounded by high rocks that protect it from the winds and make it suitable for anchoring. The large anchorage area consists of sand and the depth is 3 to 6 meters. There are two restaurants on the beach.

Ibiza Town

The island's capital with a large harbor that is also suitable for mega yachts. In summer, it can be difficult to find a berth. It is therefore advisable to book in advance. The city is an exciting place and is known for its lively nightlife. It offers a beautiful old town, romantic restaurants, beautiful city hotels and relaxed cafés. Enjoy a fantastic view of the blue sea and the imposing mega yachts. Anchoring is prohibited in the port of Ibiza Town.

Insel Tagomago / Island Tagomago

This small offshore island on the north-eastern side of Ibiza is one of the most beautiful private islands in the Mediterranean. A short swimming stop can be made in the beautiful bay to the west, which serves as a natural harbor.

Punta Grossa

The anchorage is located just behind the Punta Grossa Huk, only 1 nautical mile from Cala San Vincente. With southerly winds, you can anchor well here on an anchorage of sand and scattered stones.

S'Olleta

A small bay that opens up to the south-west and is protected by high cliffs. The scenery is breathtaking. The water is crystal clear and wonderful for snorkeling.

Ses Salines

The bay is located approx. 11 km from Eivissa. The coast is almost untouched and has a fine white sandy beach. The water and underwater conditions are ideal for anchoring, the bottom consists of sand and few rocks at a depth of between 4 and 10 meters.
