Set sail from Cala Jondal with Bora Sailing for a private sunset tour to Es Vedrá. Sip Spanish wine as the Mediterranean sky ignites in color and the stars emerge for a quiet, unforgettable evening.
On the rugged southwestern edge of Ibiza, Es Cubells offers a quiet gateway to one of the Mediterranean’s most stunning seascapes. Bora Sailing presents a private sunset tour that begins at Cala Jondal, the lively yet intimate harbor just minutes away. As your sailboat slips away from shore, the island’s cliffs fall away to open blue, with the unmistakable silhouette of Es Vedrá rising from the sea. This towering limestone islet, steeped in myth and magnetic energy, forms the dramatic centerpiece of your evening voyage.
Bora Sailing’s Private Sunset Tour is far from a typical boat trip. You settle into relaxed luxury aboard a well-appointed sailboat, sampling select Spanish wines as the sky deepens from pastel peach to a blazing molten gold. The Mediterranean catches the light, sparkling beneath a canvas of changing sunset hues. The air carries the faint saltiness of sea and the distant hum of the island’s nightlife fading behind you.
This tour highlights Ibiza’s wild, natural beauty in a way few visitors experience—without crowds, without rush. The tour’s intimate nature invites conversation, reflection, and attentive observation of the sea’s subtle shifts. As darkness falls, the boat returns under a blanket of stars, your journey punctuated only by the gentle lapping of waves against the hull.
Es Cubells itself is marked by rugged cliffs of white rock and sparse coastal vegetation that include sea fennel and wild thyme, native plants adding fragrance to the salty breeze. Es Vedrá’s mysterious aura—a mix of geology and legend—adds depth to this sunset voyage. Historically regarded by locals as a place of spiritual significance, it enriches the adventure with a rare sense of place.
Bora Sailing is a standout for their commitment to authentic, tailored experiences that connect visitors to Ibiza’s unique maritime environment. Their Private Sunset Tour blends the romance of the sea with genuine regional culture and natural wonder, making it an unmissable chapter of any trip to the Balearic Islands.
