The destinations
Ten anchorages,
written from the deck.
Each page is a private note from the office about a place we have anchored at hundreds of times — the right time of day, the sheltered side, the tables ashore, the answers to the questions guests ask before they arrive.
01Ibiza
7 anchorages
Es Vedrà
The 400-metre limestone rock that defines the south-west horizon. The single most-photographed sundown in the Pitiusas.
Read
Cala Bassa
Wide pine-fringed bay, white sand, transparent water — the most family-friendly anchorage on the west coast.
Read
Cala Comte
Three small coves linked by a pine-shaded path — the cleanest snorkel water on the west coast, looking out over the islets of Bosc and Conillera.
Read
Atlantis · Sa Pedrera
A hidden limestone quarry cove south of Es Vedrà. No road access, twelve-metre visibility — the cleanest swim in the Pitiusas.
Read
Cala Salada
A small horseshoe cove backed by pine, sheltered from the south, the calmest morning swim on the north-west side.
Read
Cala Jondal
The pebble cove on the south of Ibiza that the Blue Marlin made famous. A long, social lunch stop, a calm overnight anchorage in westerlies.
Read
Tagomago
The private island a mile off the east coast — a quiet anchorage on the south-west side, often empty when the west coast is full.
Read02Formentera
3 anchorages
Espalmador
A small private island between Ibiza and Formentera. The bay of S'Alga is the photograph everyone has seen and assumed was edited.
Read
Playa Illetes
Formentera's signature white-sand beach — the Es Ministre table on the sand, lunch every charter wants to do at least once.
Read
Cala Saona
A small protected cove on Formentera's west side — the office's overnight anchorage of choice on a second night of the Pitiusas loop.
