Torre de ses Portes stands on Ibiza's northern cliffs, a historical landmark offering sweeping views across the Mediterranean. The tower commands panoramic sightlines to the island of Formentera. Visitors reach it via a walking path that connects two beaches, rewarded with fresh sea air and unobstructed vistas across open water. The location is known for exceptional sunsets and is perfectly positioned for twilight photography.
Torre de ses Portes
The tower sits perfectly positioned to frame the sun setting and the full moon rising in the same view.

What makes it special
The tower occupies an exceptional vantage point above the sea. A continuous walking path threads along the cliffs from one beach to the other, and from this path the full silhouette of Formentera appears on the horizon. The spot is renowned for watching the sun descend and the full moon rise in the same frame—something achieved only at a handful of locations on the island.
Good to know
- Plan for a 15–20 minute coastal walk along cliffs; there is no direct road access.
- July–August peak season brings crowds; visit in off-season for a quieter experience.
- Bring €1–2 cash for the optional donation if you wish to contribute.
- The site is open 24 hours daily.
Getting there
There is no vehicular access to the tower. Parking exists nearby, but the final approach is on foot via a walking path that runs along the sea cliffs. The path connects two beaches; depending on entry point, expect 15–20 minutes of walking.
Best time to visit
Better: Off-season months (September to May) are quieter and offer clearer views without crowds. Avoid: July and August peak season brings maximum crowds. The site excels at dusk; the positioning allows sun and full moon to appear together on clear evenings.
