Torre des Savinar, also known as the Pirate Tower, is one of Ibiza’s most iconic historical
landmarks. Perched high on the cliffs of the island’s southwest coast, the 18th-century watchtower
was originally built to protect the island from pirate invasions. Today, it’s a popular viewpoint that
offers breathtaking panoramas of Es Vedrà and the Mediterranean Sea, especially during sunset.
The site provides a sense of adventure, history, and natural beauty all in one place.
