IGY Ibiza Marina Unveils Its Stunning Revamp of Edificio del Martillo

British tourists with a love for the uber-chic ambiance of Ibiza will be thrilled to hear that the IGY Ibiza Marina has completed a fabulous overhaul of the iconic Edificio del Martillo. Nestled within the island’s bustling port, this newly transformed location now boasts four sleek commercial spaces, each featuring expansive glass facades that offer breathtaking views over the marina. This ambitious renovation is part of IGY Ibiza Marina’s larger mission to upgrade its facilities, aiming to strengthen its ties with the city and boost its allure for yacht owners, captains, crews, residents, and those of you city breakers. According to Sasha Romashova, Corporate Commercial Manager at Ocean Capital Partners, the upgraded space enhances visitor experience and enriches the port's appeal, making it a vibrant spot for commercial and social activities. Additionally, a high-capacity electrical connection has been installed to cater to the latest needs of superyachts, allowing these grand vessels to connect to the local power grid seamlessly. This not only reduces reliance on generators but also contributes to lower noise and environmental impact in the port area—a win-win for everyone soaking up the Ibiza sun on their cherished Balearic getaway.

Ibiza Witnesses a Dramatic Drop in Vehicle Landings as Public Transport Use Soars

In the latest bid to ease Ibiza's bustling summer streets, vehicle arrivals on the island via maritime routes have plummeted by a spectacular 13.7% over the past two years. The reduction follows new regulations aimed at limiting vehicular traffic on the island. From May to July this year, the Port of Ibiza recorded 129,434 vehicle movements, a stark decrease from 149,966 during the same stretch in 2024. This sharp decline aligns with a booming increase in public transport usage, as the bus network counted 699,591 more passengers this year—a notable 22.7% surge compared to last year. Mobility official Mariano Juan highlights that these figures reflect the successful implementation of the strategy to lower vehicle pressure while boosting public transit. Meanwhile, the vehicle quota (reduced from 4,000 to 3,500) hasn't reached capacity this year, a shift from August 2025 when it maxed out for 25 days. The ongoing season will be key to determining if this trend endures.
