There is one genuine private island wedding in Ibiza, and its name is Tagomago.
It is total seclusion, an entire island and a villa for your closest circle, with the wider party arriving by boat.
Plan the crossings before you fall for the view, and accept that the magic comes with real logistics.
Ibiza has one true private island for a wedding, Tagomago, around 900 metres off the east coast near Santa Eulalia. The 148 acre island is leased to a single group at a time, with a five suite villa sleeping up to ten and a main terrace that can host a ceremony and reception for up to around 80 guests. There is no second comparable private island in Ibiza, so we tell you that plainly rather than pad a list. May to September gives the settled seas these crossings need.
One island, one wedding party, no one else.
Ibiza is famous for many things, but private islands are not really one of them, and we would rather be honest about that than dress up a beach club as something it is not. The island that genuinely delivers is Tagomago, a 148 acre private island around 900 metres off the east coast near Santa Eulalia. It is leased to one group at a time, with no neighbouring villas, no hotel guests and no beach club nearby, which is exactly the appeal. For a couple who want true seclusion within reach of Ibiza's energy, it is close to unique in the western Mediterranean.
The island centres on a five suite villa that sleeps up to ten, with a large pool, terraces and a dedicated team. The main terrace, with 360 degree sea views, transforms into a ceremony and reception space for up to around 80 guests. The model that works is a small inner circle staying on the island for the weekend, with the wider party crossing by boat for the wedding day itself. That combination, total privacy for the few and a spectacular arrival by sea for the rest, is what makes a Tagomago wedding feel like nowhere else.
The honest caution is logistics, because everything reaches the island by water. The crossing from Santa Eulalia takes around 20 minutes by speedboat or 35 by catamaran, and a wedding needs a clear plan for guest transfers, suppliers and the late night return, plus a weather contingency since the sea has the final say. Build the boat schedule before you commit to the date, work with a planner who runs Tagomago every season, and choose the settled months from May to September. Do that and Ibiza's one private island becomes the most private day the Balearics can offer.
One true private island, named on merit.
Ibiza has a single genuine private island wedding venue. Rather than pad the list with beach clubs and villas that are not islands, we name the one that is, and tell you the honest alternatives below.
Tagomago Private Island
Ultra luxuryA 148 acre private island leased to one group at a time, with a five suite villa sleeping ten and a terrace that hosts a ceremony and reception for up to around 80 guests in complete seclusion.
The honest alternatives
If Tagomago is booked or your party is larger, the nearest things to an island feeling in Ibiza are a clifftop villa with the sea on three sides, a private charter that anchors off a quiet cove for the ceremony, or a coastal estate reached only by a long private drive. None is a true private island, and we will say so when we suggest them, but each can give you much of the seclusion and the arrival by water that draws couples to the idea.
We will not list protected nature reserves such as the islet of Es Vedra as venues, because they are not, and marrying there is not permitted. An honest shortlist beats a beautiful fiction every time.
The practical things, told straight.
A whole island carries costs the mainland does not, chiefly exclusive use, boats and the team to run a remote site. Treat every number as indicative and confirm directly, because the crossing plan and the catering move the total far more than any single line item.
What it costs
As an indicative June 2025 guide, a private island wedding on Tagomago for 40 to 80 guests often lands between EUR 100,000 and EUR 400,000 all in, driven by exclusive use of the island and villa for several nights. Boat transfers and a wet weather plan are real costs, not extras.
Getting there
Ibiza airport is well connected across Europe in season. From Santa Eulalia, the crossing to Tagomago takes around 20 minutes by speedboat or 35 by catamaran, handled by private boats for the wedding party.
The legal bit
A legally binding civil marriage in Spain carries residency and paperwork rules that catch many international couples out. Most hold a symbolic ceremony on the island and complete the legal step at home. A local planner confirms the current rules and timing.
When to marry here
May to September gives the settled seas and warm evenings island crossings need. July and August are hot and Ibiza is at its busiest, so late spring and September often feel calmer while the boats still run easily.
An island day rewards a planner who runs the crossings.
A Tagomago wedding lives or dies on coordination. The right planner books the boats, times the transfers around the ceremony and the late night return, brings in caterers who can work a remote island kitchen, and keeps a clear weather plan in reserve. Tell us your date and guest count and we will introduce an Ibiza planner who knows the island well.

Ibiza island weddings, answered.
Does Ibiza really have a private island for weddings?
+
Yes, one. Tagomago, off the east coast near Santa Eulalia, is leased to a single group at a time and hosts weddings for up to around 80 guests. It is the only true private island wedding venue in Ibiza, which is part of what makes it special.
How many guests can Tagomago hold?
+
The main terrace can host a ceremony and reception for up to around 80 guests, while the villa sleeps up to ten. The usual model is a small inner circle on the island with the wider party crossing by boat for the day.
How do guests reach the island?
+
By boat from Santa Eulalia, around 20 minutes by speedboat or 35 by catamaran. Settle the last crossing of the night early, so every guest, including older relatives, has a clear and comfortable way back to the mainland.
What if our party is larger than 80?
+
Then a private island is probably not the right fit, and we will say so. A clifftop villa with the sea on three sides or a coastal estate can hold more guests while keeping much of the seclusion. We would rather match you well than oversell the island.
When is the best time of year?
+
May to September, when the seas are settled and the evenings warm. June and September often feel calmer than the height of summer, while the boats still cross easily and the light is at its best.
