The city of Eivissa, also known as “Vila”, is internationally renowned for its incredibly beautiful “nave de piedra”, Dalt Vila, the best-preserved walled fortress in the Mediterranean, recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.

Eivissa is also remarkable for its landscape, its privileged natural environment and its millennia old Posidonia prairies.
