Sail through the most beautiful waters of the Balearic Islands, exploring Ibiza's western coastline, the turquoise lagoons of Formentera, the iconic silhouette of Es Vedrà and the historic harbour of Ibiza Town.
This seven-day sailing itinerary from Sant Antoni offers a complete exploration of Ibiza and Formentera, combining scenic coastal navigation, protected anchorages and some of the clearest waters in the Mediterranean. Designed around short and enjoyable sailing passages, the route allows ample time for swimming, relaxing at anchor and discovering the diverse landscapes that make the Balearic Islands one of Europe's premier cruising destinations.
Departing from Sant Antoni, the journey begins along Ibiza's western coastline, where sheltered bays such as Cala Bassa and Cala Comte provide ideal conditions for swimming and enjoying the island's famous turquoise waters. The route then continues south toward Es Vedrà, Ibiza's most iconic offshore landmark, whose dramatic cliffs create one of the most memorable sailing backdrops in the Mediterranean.
Crossing to Formentera reveals a completely different atmosphere. The island is renowned for its shallow crystal-clear waters, white-sand beaches and protected natural environment. Anchorages around Ses Illetes, Cala Saona and the southern coastline offer exceptional opportunities for swimming, snorkelling and paddleboarding while enjoying a quieter and more relaxed pace of life.
The itinerary also includes a visit to Ibiza Town, where the historic district of Dalt Vila overlooks one of the most attractive harbours in the Balearics. Here, centuries of maritime history, traditional architecture and vibrant waterfront life create a unique contrast with the remote anchorages visited earlier in the week.
The final stages of the cruise explore the northern coastline of Ibiza, including the peaceful bay of Cala Benirràs, known for its natural beauty, clear waters and pine-covered hills. Throughout the journey, guests experience a balance of lively coastal destinations, secluded coves and protected marine areas, creating an itinerary that showcases the full diversity of sailing in Ibiza and Formentera.
With favourable summer conditions, short distances between anchorages and an exceptional variety of landscapes, this route is ideal for travellers seeking a combination of comfortable sailing, Mediterranean scenery and authentic island exploration.
