Discover the allure of a Mediterranean gem just off the coast of Alicante. This small island offers crystal-clear waters, charming narrow streets, and a laid-back ambiance, making it the perfect escape from the bustle of mainland cities. Whether you're craving a sun-soaked beach day or a taste of local seafood, this destination promises an unforgettable experience.

A Glimpse into the Past

Once a refuge for Berber pirates, the island was later fortified in the 18th century by King Charles III, who settled families from Genoa and constructed city walls that still stand today. Its rich heritage can be sensed in every corner, from ancient gates to the quaint fishermen’s houses.

When to Visit

The best time to explore is from late spring to early autumn, when the weather is warm and the sea is inviting. For those who prefer fewer crowds, visiting in May, June, or September is ideal, offering a more relaxed atmosphere and pleasant temperatures.

How do you reach the island?

Regular boats and ferries depart from Alicante, Santa Pola, and other nearby ports. The journey is short and scenic, taking around 30 minutes from Santa Pola.
