The Rocky Glamour
Unlike many of the island's sandy beaches, Punta Prima is known for its rugged coastline, where the rocky shorelines create a distinct atmosphere. While there is no traditional beach, the natural rock formations provide comfortable spots to relax, with several areas offering varying heights from which visitors can dive into the crystal-clear waters below.
The Ancient Tower
One of the highlights of Punta Prima is the Torre de Sa Punta Prima, a 18th-century watchtower that was once part of a network of defense structures built to protect the Balearic Islands from pirate attacks. Today, the tower serves as a historical landmark, offering spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding coastline and sea.
The Good Morning Sun
The Torre de Sa Punta Prima can only be visited from the outside, but the views in the surroundings are spectacular, and the Punta Prima area is the perfect place to watch the sunrise. In addition, the cliffs of Punta Prima offer magnificent views towards Ibiza and La Mola, as well as the entire coast of Es Carnatge and tramuntana of the island of Formentera.
