What kind of experiences are there to enjoy on a luxury yacht charter in Spain itinerary?

There is also a bustling waterfront packed with atmospheric seafood restaurants and unique boutiques. For a more relaxed vibe, head to the Es Cavallet, one of Ibiza’s most beautiful beaches, and enjoy a day at one of the hip beach clubs for fresh seafood, lounging in the sun, and relaxing.
