3-Day Ibiza & Formentera Discovery
The Pitiusas islands — UNESCO heritage, well-known beaches, Es Vedrà, and the bohemian spirit of Ibiza in three days
Route Overview
This three-day route crosses from Palma to Ibiza, stopping at Cala Conta on the west coast before a night at Marina Botafoch in Ibiza Town, across the harbour from Dalt Vila, the walled old town that is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Day two crosses the short channel to Formentera for Ses Illetes and a night at anchor at Cala Saona. On day three the yacht stops at Espalmador before crossing back to Palma. The two open-sea crossings depend on settled weather, and berths are confirmed in the proposal.
