Another species that surprisingly inhabits the waters of our nature reserves is the sunfish. This giant fish, known for its rounded shape and silvery skin, is a wonder of nature. Its presence in the waters of Ibiza is a real attraction for divers and lovers of marine life.
Among our most emblematic species are the swallow fish or "roncador" in Ibiza, the morenas (be very careful if you find one!), the swordfish, the rotjas, the salpas...

Discovering Ibiza's marine reserves
Ibiza has several marine reserves that play a fundamental role in protecting marine life. One of the most outstanding is the Reserva Marina de Es Freus, which extends between Ibiza and Formentera. This reserve is home to a great diversity of marine species and offers unique opportunities for diving and snorkeling.
The Es Freus Marine Reserve is characterized by its crystal clear waters, underwater caves and impressive rock formations. Here, divers can explore coral reefs, discover sunken wrecks, and encounter a wide variety of fish and other sea creatures.
Another outstanding marine reserve is the Marine Reserve of Cala d'Hort, located in the southwest of Ibiza. This protected area has waters rich in biodiversity, where you can find posidonia meadows, underwater caves and many fish and marine organisms.
Both marine reserves are subject to strict regulations to ensure their conservation. It is important to follow the established guidelines when visiting these protected areas, respecting marine habitats and avoiding any activity that may damage the ecosystem.
Exploring Ibiza's marine reserves is a wonderful way to connect with marine life and appreciate the importance of their conservation.
