VIP Route: The 5 Most Exclusive Anchorages in Ibiza for Sleeping Under the Stars

There is an Ibiza that only exists at night, two miles off the coast. It is the Ibiza where the sound of the clubs cannot reach you, where the air smells of pine and salt, and where your only neighbour is the reflection of the moon on the hull of your yacht.

Sleeping at anchor is not just about saving on marina fees — although that is part of it. It is about reclaiming the island’s wild sense of freedom. But not every spot will do. To sleep like royalty, you need protection from the wind, the right depth and, above all, that je ne sais quoi that only these five corners — revealed to you by Eivillas — truly have.

You anchor opposite Es Vedrà. When the sun sets behind the islet and the day boats leave, you are left alone with the legend. It is an almost spiritual experience.

• Why it is VIP: It is the finest balcony in the Mediterranean. Dining on the deck of a superyacht with the silhouette of Es Vedrà lit by the stars is, quite simply, another level.

This is the favourite cove of local sailors when they are looking for absolute safety. It is such a protected natural bay that it feels like a swimming pool.

• Why it is VIP: Because of its discretion. There are no noisy beach bars here. Only peace, fishermen’s huts and some of the island’s most elegant yachts seeking shelter from the Levante wind.

If during the day it is the epicentre of luxury thanks to Blue Marlin, at night it transforms completely. As it is a wide cove, it allows comfortable anchoring for larger yachts.

• Why it is VIP: Because you can go ashore by tender for a formal dinner and return to the complete calm of your cabin in five minutes. It is the perfect mix of social life and private retreat.

This is our best-kept secret. An almost enclosed circular cove, surrounded by cliffs and pine trees, where access by land is a 30-minute walk and something of an odyssey. By boat, it is your private paradise.

• Why it is VIP: Because you will be almost alone. It is the ideal place for a large-capacity catamaran, where the family can swim at sunrise in waters that look like pure crystal.

Technically, it is Formentera, but if you rent with us, it is an essential stop. There are no buildings, no lights. Just you, white sand and the most star-filled sky you will ever see.

• Why it is VIP: Because it is a protected natural park. Waking up here, with absolute turquoise water surrounding the boat, makes you forget the rest of the world exists.

Sleeping at anchor requires impeccable logistics: a reliable anchoring system, a crew to keep watch and catering that does not make you miss any restaurant. At Eivillas, we do not just give you the boat; we design the route according to that night’s wind, so your only dilemma is whether to swim before or after breakfast.
