Yacht Rental Barcelona

Barcelona is a city resplendent in so many ways - the charisma of its people, the architectural wonders, the alluring tastes of its local cuisine, the captivating hues of its sunsets, and, not to forget, the grandeur of its maritime landscape.

The Allure of Barcelona's Aquatic Splendour

To rent a yacht in Barcelona is to immerse oneself in a world not only of aquatic splendour but of luxurious exploration and endless possibilities. It's an invitation to partake in an experience of elegant extravagance, merging with the city's history, culture, and the very essence of its spirit that is ever so elegantly embodied by the Mediterranean Sea.

And why, you may ask, one should venture in such an expedition? The answer lies within the allure of the sea itself. As we traverse the azure waves, we become privy to Barcelona's coastline's visual symphony, a panorama of rich historical narratives etched in its sand and stones. The waters become a looking glass into the very soul of the city, offering the beholder an unparalleled perspective of Barcelona, unlike any landbound sightseeing tour.

Barcelona's Best by Boat: A Yachting Guide to Coastal Gems

On the beckoning blue canvas of the Mediterranean, Barcelona unfurls like an enchanting maritime tapestry. Aboard a yacht, the city's coastal allure finds new dimensions, revealing hideaways often overlooked in landbound itineraries. Let us cast off the mooring lines and set sail on an expedition to discover some of the most captivating destinations to visit on your yachting adventure in Barcelona.

🚢 Port Vell

A historical maritime heart of Barcelona, Port Vell offers a captivating blend of the city's rich nautical heritage and the luxuries of modern marinas. Marvelling at the opulence of the yacht club or enjoying the vista of Barcelona's skyline from the deck of your yacht, Port Vell offers an unforgettable start to your maritime journey.

🚢 The Beaches of Barcelona

Stretching from the iconic La Barceloneta to Nova Icària and beyond, Barcelona's coastline is punctuated with an array of golden sandy beaches. Each beach offers its unique charm, with bustling promenades, serene spots, trendy beach bars, and exhilarating water sports.

🚢 Port Olympic

Once the epicentre of sailing events in the 1992 Summer Olympics, Port Olympic is now a vibrant hub of gastronomy, nightlife, and marine life. It's an ideal location to anchor your yacht and immerse in the city's culinary delights or dive into the energetic nightlife.

🚢 Costa Brava

Venture a little north of Barcelona, and you'll be welcomed by the rugged beauty of Costa Brava. Here, secluded coves and picturesque fishing villages offer a serene getaway from the city's bustle. The turquoise waters of Costa Brava are perfect for a mid-journey swim or a peaceful sunset soiree.

🚢 The Balearic Islands

If the sea beckons you for a longer voyage, set your course to the Balearic Islands. The crystal clear waters of Ibiza, Mallorca, and Menorca promise an ethereal experience of marine biodiversity, breathtaking beaches, and mystical caves.

Just 35km to the southwest of Barcelona, the picturesque town of Sitges awaits yacht-goers. The town is famous for its vibrant nightlife, beautiful beaches, and a variety of festivals held throughout the year. The marina at Port d'Aiguadolç offers excellent mooring facilities and a warm welcome to seafarers.

🚢 The Medes Islands

Located a little over 100km north of Barcelona, near the town of l'Estartit, the Medes Islands are a small archipelago that forms part of the Montgrí, Medes Islands, and Baix Ter Natural Park. The islands are home to a rich variety of marine life, making them a favoured destination for divers and snorkelers. The waters here provide a pristine setting for anchoring your yacht and exploring the underwater paradise.

🚢 The Gulf of Roses

The Gulf of Roses, at the northernmost point of Costa Brava, offers a splendid opportunity to enjoy the region's natural beauty. The long sandy beaches, stunning coves, and the quaint seaside towns of Roses, Empuriabrava, and Cadaqués make this an idyllic stopover during your nautical journey.

🚢 Tarragona

Venturing to the south of Barcelona, the ancient city of Tarragona is an unmissable port of call. The city’s historical sites date back to Roman times and are recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site. You can dock your yacht at the Port of Tarragona and take a stroll to explore the city's rich historical heritage, vibrant culture, and delightful gastronomy.

Garraf is a coastal region to the south of Barcelona that encompasses some of the best natural beauty Catalonia has to offer. The Garraf Natural Park, with its unique flora and fauna, is a breathtaking sight to behold from the sea. The marina at Port Ginesta offers a perfect stopover, and the nearby town of Sitges provides a taste of local culture and cuisine.

A yacht trip in Barcelona, whether it's a coastal exploration or a venture into deeper Mediterranean waters, unfolds like a vibrant palette of unforgettable experiences. The places you visit become memories etched in the canvas of the sea, a testament to Barcelona's mesmerising maritime allure.

Navigating the Preparatory Seas: Considerations for Yacht Rental

Intriguing as it may be, the journey towards yacht rental is not devoid of intricacies that require careful contemplation. Like a good sailor maps his route, considering the winds and tides, so should an aspiring yacht renter plot their course, bearing in mind a multitude of factors.

⛵ Safety Above All

The tranquillity of the sea, as mesmerising as it is, should not make us forget the cardinal rule of yachting - safety first. Ensuring the yacht has the essential safety equipment, including lifejackets, first aid kits, and proper communication devices, is a must. It is also paramount to confirm that the rental company has rigorous maintenance practices and a well-trained crew to navigate Barcelona's waters.

⛵ The Call of Comfort

Yacht chartering is a marriage of adventure and comfort, and thus, one must ensure the yacht caters to the desired level of comfort and luxury. Whether it is the number of cabins for your esteemed guests or the presence of sophisticated amenities, the yacht should be an epitome of your comfort aspirations.

⛵ The Expanse of the Voyage

Are you planning to merely dance along the coastline or venture deeper into the Mediterranean's heart? Your itinerary will play a significant role in determining the type of yacht that best suits your needs. A sturdy, sea-worthy vessel will be required for long and adventurous excursions, while a luxury motor yacht might be more appropriate for coast-hugging, leisurely soirees.

The Majestic Marine Companion: Choosing the Right Yacht

In the world of yachts, as it is with the creatures of the sea, there is a stunning diversity. And in the vast expanse of Barcelona's waters, a choice must be made. For Barcelona, I would dare propose the superyacht as the most fitting candidate.

The superyacht, a marvel of maritime engineering, is a creature designed to command attention. With its expansive decks and opulent cabins, it can carry a congregation of guests with utmost comfort and grandeur. Equipped with state-of-the-art navigation and safety systems, it offers a safe and exhilarating sailing experience.

Furthermore, Barcelona's waters are typically calm and welcoming, making them the ideal playground for such a magnificent vessel. And the sheer size of a superyacht allows you to venture further from the shore, opening up opportunities to explore the lesser-known parts of Barcelona's maritime terrain.

In conclusion, to rent a yacht in Barcelona is to willingly surrender oneself to an experience of surreal tranquillity and grandeur. It is an opportunity to explore a city from an altogether different perspective and to indulge in the luxury that only a maritime adventure can offer. As you chart your course and select your vessel, may the sea be ever in your favour, and may the whispers of Barcelona's waters guide you on an unforgettable journey.

Sailing into Queries: Answering Your Barcelona Yachting Questions

In the shared dance of Barcelona's waters and our yachts, we find ourselves in an orchestration of splendid exploration. And as we embark on this voyage, it's only natural for inquiries to surface, just as a curious dolphin might pierce the serene waterline with its gleaming gaze. Together, we shall address some of the frequently asked questions about yachting in Barcelona, illuminating the path for your maritime adventure.

What is the best time to rent a yacht in Barcelona?

The Mediterranean climate blesses Barcelona with warm summers and mild winters, making it an excellent year-round destination. However, for yachting, the period from May to October offers the best conditions, with calm seas and ample sunshine.

Do I need a license to charter a yacht?

If you plan to captain the yacht yourself, you will indeed need an appropriate license. However, most yacht charters in Barcelona come with a dedicated and experienced crew, allowing you to sit back and enjoy the journey without the need for a license.

Can I customize my yacht charter itinerary?

Absolutely! One of the beauties of chartering a yacht is the ability to customize your journey. You can decide where to stop, whether it's for a mid-sea swim, an exploration of coastal towns, or an immersive experience in the region's natural parks.

How many people can a yacht accommodate?

This largely depends on the size of the yacht. A typical superyacht can comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests for overnight stays, although larger vessels may house more. For day trips, the capacity tends to be higher.

What services are included in a yacht charter?

Most yacht charters in Barcelona offer a range of services, including a dedicated crew, fuel, water sports equipment, and sometimes even a personal chef. However, this can vary between charter companies, so it's always advisable to confirm the included services beforehand.

Embracing the spirit of exploration, we hope these answers serve as guiding stars on your nautical chart, navigating you towards an unforgettable yachting experience in the charming waters of Barcelona.

Rent a sailboat in Barcelona

Barcelona stands as a magnetic force for sailing enthusiasts and tourists alike, drawing them in with its promising waters and picturesque coastline. The city, nestled in Spain's Catalonia region, offers not only a cosmopolitan atmosphere but also access to nearby gems like Tarragona and Sitges, characterized by their stunning beaches. Renting a sailboat through Samboat opens up a world of possibilities, allowing you to explore these exotic Spanish towns and create lasting memories with friends or family.

Sailing in Barcelona presents a unique perspective on the city's beauty and features. With its diverse architecture, including the iconic Sagrada Familia and the historic Gothic Quarter, Barcelona unfolds its charm as you sail along the coastline. The sea breeze and the gentle lull of the waves enhance the experience, making it one of the most enchanting ways to discover the city.

Pricing and Information for renting a sailboat in Barcelona

Samboat understands that budget is a crucial factor when planning your sailing adventure. Offering sailboat rentals starting from 50€ per day, the platform ensures affordability without compromising on quality. The pricing, however, fluctuates based on the season. During the peak months of July and August, when Barcelona is teeming with tourists, the average daily sailboat rental cost is around 550 euros. In contrast, the off-season, spanning from November to April, offers a more budget-friendly option, with an average daily price of 400 euros.

When is the best time to sail in Barcelona?

Timing is everything when it comes to enjoying a sailing excursion in Barcelona. While the summer months of July and August witness a surge in tourists, the slightly quieter periods of June and September are recommended by Samboat. These months strike a balance between favorable weather conditions and fewer crowds, providing an ideal setting for a peaceful sailing experience. The off-season, from November to March, may present a chillier atmosphere, but the tranquility of the waters compensates for the weather.

Do I need a license to sail in Barcelona?

Before setting sail in Barcelona, it's crucial to understand the licensing requirements. If the rented sailboat exceeds 6 meters in length, or if you plan to venture beyond a 2-mile distance with a boat boasting a maximum power of 11.26 kW and up to 5 meters in length, a license becomes mandatory.

Their presence adds an extra layer of security, allowing you to relax and fully immerse yourself in the sailing experience. Moreover, these local skippers often share insider knowledge, guiding you to hidden gems and lesser-known attractions in Barcelona.

Recent reviews in barcelona.

Everything was great! We saw everything we needed to, swam in a safe area, and the drinks and the food was amazing! These two were very nice with everything and made the bachelor trip amazing!! Thank you!!

We had a perfect morning sailing with Joost and his team in Barcelona. The boat was clean, the music was lovely and the water was perfect. We stopped to swim in the sea for a little and then sailed a bit more. Our guide was kind and accommodating! Highly recommend this experience if you are in Barca on vacation!

Thank you to Pedro & Captain Danny for making our boat trip a memorable and awesome time . The vessel was nice and Captain Danny was very accommodating to make sure we all had a great time . We will use you guys again next time in Barcelona for sure . Thank you

We had a wonderful day on this beautiful catamaran. Plenty of food and drinks kept us going, and Captain Borja and stewardess Esther were very helpful and accommodating, especially when one of our group was seasick. They adjusted the plan and brought us into calmer waters, and even offered a refund for the shorter time that we were on board from what we’d booked. Impossible to fault - they were brilliant!

Our day on Adria's boat was just the experience we were looking for. From the communication beforehand (going over different itineraries, making sure we knew where to go), to the exceptional service on board and knowledgeable staff that was with us - everything was perfect. A highlight of our trip that everyone keeps talking about day after day! I would not hesitate to book again with them.

The boat team is absolutely amazing! We were at big group of ten and they made every minute of it remarkable, easy and full of fun! We enjoyed being on the water and the food was amazing along side the several glasses of sangria! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who’s looking to have a great time on a boat and see the beautiful view of the coast of Barcelona!

Frequently asked questions.

Barcelona is a beautiful city known for its nightlife and beaches. It’s a great boating, and yachting destination, sailboat rentals and sailing charters are very popular in Barcelona.

The port and marina of Barcelona are only one mile from the historical center of Barcelona. If you’re renting a boat or booking a yacht charter in Barcelona, you can easily walk to the port from a centrally-located accommodation.

The shoulder season before and after the peak months of July and August are the best times to visit Barcelona. April, May, September, and October are great lower-season months where you can still enjoy the heat and sunshine. The low season from December through February will be the quietest, but it’s too cold for boating, swimming, and other outdoor activities.

Yacht & Catamaran Charter in Barcelona, Spain

We can help you find the perfect yacht or catamaran to sail from Barcelona!

Sailing from Barcelona

Barcelona is a city which is famous for football, the arts and las ramblas market – but it’s also a fantastic place to sail - the wonderful Catalan coastline is best explored by your own private yacht or catamaran. People have been sailing here for centuries, so you’ll find castles, palaces, cathedrals, small fishing villages, as well as fine beaches and tourist attractions – and of course, majestic Barcelona.

On a multi-week charter, you could hop over to the Balearic islands, but if you’ve only got a week then there’s already an agonising choice of sailing south to historic Tarragona, once the capital of the Roman empire, or north to the Roses and the castles and forts built for keeping the French and Italians (amongst others) at bay. We can help you find and book your ideal yacht or catamaran, with one of our trusted Charter Partners - just get in touch or search in the pink box with live prices and availability !  

 SAILING RATING:  Beginner - the Mediterranean offers a largely sheltered cruising ground, which makes it suitable even for beginners to sail here. You’ll need an RYA Day Skipper qualification (or equivalent) to sail here.

 MUST-SEE:  Check out our full suggested itinerary below. The main highlights are historic Tarragona , exuberant Sitges , and, of course, Barcelona .

 WHAT WE CAN OFFER:  We have a great range of yachts and catamarans available for charter from our trusted Charter Partners, all available bareboat or Skippered. We can also arrange a Hostess, Personal Chef and other crew.

 GETTING THERE:  The closest airport is El Prat Barcelona international airport, which is a 20 to 25 minute drive from the marina, but you could also land at Girona (1h11 drive away) or Reus airports (1h35).

 WHY BOOK WITH US?  We only work with the very best professional charter operators , who we have met, know, and trust to give you the same outstanding customer service as you'll get from PlainSailing.com.  

 WHAT NEXT?  Use the pink box to search for yachts or catamarans with LIVE pricing & availability - if you have any other questions or requests, get in touch via Live Chat, the Contact Form , or by phone.

6-day Sailing Itinerary from Barcelona

Nestled in the heart of the popular Catalan coast, Barcelona is a brilliant place to sail from - with castles and great cathedrals contrasted by small fishing villages, and, of course, the fine beaches, waterparks and other attractions that draw millions of tourists to this coastline each year. There’s virtually guaranteed sunshine, largely reliable winds, very friendly locals and some of the finest food on the planet – the more Tapas you try, the more you’ll get hooked!

It’s a six-day itinerary because you normally won’t get access to the boat until Saturday afternoon, and after spending time getting provisions in and getting familiar with the boat, you’ll likely only be able to set sail on Sunday morning. The boat also needs to be back in Barcelona on Friday evening (but you can stay on-board overnight and then check-out and disembark on Saturday morning) – so it’s a six day tour.  

Nose out of the marina and then we’re heading South – we’re sailing past Barcelona city centre, so don’t head too far out to sea if you want a good view of Las Ramblas, then we’re sailing onwards South, reaching across the prevailing summer northerly winds to the Castelldefells. It’s possible to do it in one tack, but as it’s the first day, you may as well get everyone well versed in trimming the sail.

As the name suggests, there’s a castle on the highest point here which dates back over a millennium (and it was built on the site of an even older Roman castle), which helped to defend Catalonia from Arab and Barbary invaders, amongst others. More recently, they built an ‘Olympic canal’ here to host the rowing events of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, and it is now best known for the 5km of gorgeous sandy beach (which you will sail past) and for being the home of the great and good of Barcelona - including Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez – so watch out for them if you amble around town! There’s a great range of shops, bars and restaurants, plus beaches and castles to explore – enjoy!  

Today’s destination is Segur de Calafell, a suburb of the pretty town of Calafell, which is another town with a splendid beach, an ancient castle and that is reasonably popular with tourists. As well as being one of the best beaches in Spain, this beach claims to be good for you on health grounds because the local sand means that there is five-times as much iodine in the sea-water here than normal.

But there’s also more high-brow attractions on offer - the Ciutadella Iberica is a fascinating excavation of the village that was here in 600 BC (and just a short walk from the marina), and the Casa Barral museum celebrates the life works of Carlos Barral, who was, as I’m sure you already knew, one of Spain’s finest poets.  

The Romans helped transform ‘‘Tarraco’ (as they called it) into the wealthiest and most opulent city in Spain, and there was a time when Caesar Augustus himself used to come here for winter, bringing the might and powers of the empire with him. Similar to Rome, the whole town is like a giant museum, with fine buildings and churches in every direction around the old town – so it is worth a stroll around.

If all of the above have you rolling your eyes, then don’t worry, because Tarragona also has something for you – notably, Spain’s biggest theme park, PortAventura, is located here (alongside Ferrari-land and the PortAventura Aquatic park), and there’s obviously also plenty of great beaches to lay down on.  

Torredembarra is largely overlooked by tourists because it is so close to Tarragona, but it has the same Roman history, charming cobbled streets and an old town with magnificent architecture - it would be lauded if it was anywhere else in the world. There’s also fantastic beaches, and Torredembarra is one of the world’s top kite-surfing destinations.

And, of course, there is the tallest lighthouse in Catalonia, which is also the newest lighthouse in Spain (it went live on January 1st 2000), which has a splendid viewing platform at the top of it (if you can manage the 217 steps).  

But that’s not all – their local dishes of xato (seafood salad) and ‘Sitges-style paella’ have been exported across Spain and are certainly worth sampling. There’s the locally grown Malvasia wine, or, if you prefer something stronger, Sitges is the birthplace of a certain Mr Bacardi who emigrated to Cuba in 1830 and set up a massive rum empire – Sitges is proud enough of him to give him his own museum.

You can also go for a hike on the mountainous Garraf Massif, gape in wonder at the magnificent Church of Sant Bartomeu i Santa Tecla (which you should also be able to see from the sea), or hit the beach – incidentally, three of the 17 beaches here are nudist beaches.  

You’ll pass the Garraf massif, Castelldefels, Barcelona airport and then Barcelona city centre and then we’re heading back into the marina. Don’t forget you’ll need to fill up the fuel tanks on your way back into the marina, before mooring the boat up one last time. You can stay on her overnight before disembarking tomorrow morning. If you got the crew and the boat around safely, then well done skipper, and you have earned your ‘Sailing in Spain’ badge.

If you haven’t explored Barcelona itself yet, then it really is a wonderful city, which is why over 20 million tourists head here each year. There’s the Sagrada Familia cathedral, the Olympic parks, or a cable car (Teleferic) which goes across the bay, giving outstanding views of the city. You simply have to wander down Las Ramblas, and there’s plenty of trendy bars to check out in the ‘Gothic quarter’, which is the near-side of the city-centre to the marina.

Hopefully you have all enjoyed the trip, and the crew have been a joy to be around. As you’re reminiscing about this voyage over some final tapas, maybe you’ll already be thinking about where to sail next year - come and visit us at PlainSailing.com once you have a plan! Have a safe trip home, and hopefully see you online soon! :)  

Sailing Conditions

Winds tend to be stronger during spring and autumn, when they tend to arrive from the South or South-west, but as the summer kicks in, the winds swing around so that the prevailing summer winds come from the North, before rushing their way East across the Mediterranean to hit sails on boats in Turkey.

This makes sailing at the tail-ends of the season a little more exciting, though thankfully it is rare for the wind to be too fierce. 

In winter, winds are a bit more unpredictable, and you could be hit by cold winds rolling down from the Pyrenees, or warm winds from Northern Africa – though most weather systems tend to pass over in a few days, and the forecasting in the Med is usually very reliable so you shouldn't be taken by surprise!

Marina Details - Port Olimpic, Barcelona

Barcelona is a wonderful city, and the ideal place to spend a day or two at the start or end of the holiday - if you're looking for places to stay on land in the area, then we recommend Hotel Santa Marta , which is ideally located between the marina and Las Ramblas.

Port Olimpic hosted the sailing events for the 1992 Olympics. After years of being unloved, it was brought back under the control of the Local Government and has since been refurbished into a modern and comfortable marina, next to Barceloneta beach, and within a short walk of the city centre.

Your boat rental in barcelona with click&boat.

Barcelona is located in a small coastal plain near the French border, at the foot of the mountain Collserola . It is Spain 's second-biggest city and second-biggest port of Catalonia .

On Luxurious Ibiza, Essential Workers Are Forced to Live in Tent Cities

The Spanish island fills beachfront hotels and glittering dance clubs with wealthy tourists. But its teachers, firefighters and police officers can’t find a place to live.

By Benjamin Cunningham

At 1,900 euros a month, the rent was not cheap. But Alicia Bocuñano still felt fortunate to find an apartment on Ibiza at that price. As a taxi driver pulling 16-hour days, Ms. Bocuñano, a single mother who grew up on this Spanish island, figured that a surplus from the busy summer months might be enough to make the rent.

But her would-be landlord wanted six months of rent plus a security deposit up front — close to €14,000, or about $15,300, in one shot. Though not quite legal in Spain’s tightly regulated rental sector, such demands are common on Ibiza, where wealthy tourists fill beachfront hotels and glittering dance clubs while the people who work in those places — not to mention the island’s teachers, firefighters and other essential workers — can’t find a place to live.

In lieu of a new apartment, Ms. Bocuñano, 38, spent a frightening two weeks sleeping in her car, then three months in a tent with her 10-year-old son, Raúl, by her side, before buying a used caravan in June. For a couple of months, she stationed the Caravelair-brand trailer in Can Rova, an ad hoc village of tents, shacks and campers on the outskirts of Ibiza Town, the island’s capital, just behind a dealership selling expensive powerboats. “When we first came here it was cold,” she said. “Like, very cold.”

Tent cities began popping up here in 2023, but they have mushroomed in size and number this year. Can Rova, the largest of three major camps in and around the capital, was home to some 280 people this summer. On a recent July night, six people and a dog were bedding down on the floor in Ms. Bocuñano’s caravan.

Many Can Rova residents said that, with nowhere else to go, they hoped to stay indefinitely. But on July 31, the police made good on a court order to clear the camp, which had been erected on private land. (The owner is currently embroiled in an array of zoning and legal disputes.) Many said they planned to relocate to one of the other camps, even as those sites lacked the electricity, water and perimeter fence that made Can Rova accommodating.

Ms. Bocuñano was detained by the police during the mass eviction, and may face a fine.

In much of the world, homelessness correlates with a lack of work. But not on Ibiza, where the jobs are plentiful and the booming tourism sector depends on itinerant workers (with varying immigration status). Though seasonal labor has long strained the housing supply for a few months each year, the shortage now looks more structural.

“People who work every day to care for their children have no place to live,” Ms. Bocuñano said.

The rise of remote work and a surge in short-term rentals have erased many apartments from the market, compounding existing shortages caused by land-use restrictions on an island prized for its natural beauty, and by poor public policy that followed the burst of Spain’s housing bubble in 2008.

“It is fundamental,” said Carme Trilla, an economist and former director of housing policy for Catalonia, the Spanish region on “the peninsula,” as islanders are wont to say. “By definition they have to live there, and it’s not only price but also availability that is a problem.”

Ibiza’s deepening housing crisis came slowly at first, and then all at once. The island’s brand — “sun, beaches, nightlife,” as one broker put it — blossomed in the 1960s and ’70s as bohemians congregated on this Balearic Island. The flower children gave way to disco, and bell bottoms were pushed off the dance floor in the 1980s and 1990s by rave culture. By the 2000s, Ibiza had secured its reputation as a mecca for electronic music and luxury escapism.

“It is the only place in the world where you can see the top DJs in the world in top venues every night,” said Yann Pissenem, C.E.O. and owner of the Night League, parent company to Ushuaia and Hi, two of the island’s hottest clubs.

The island’s year-round population of 160,000 is double what it was 20 years ago and growing. During peak summer months, more than a million people make merry on the island at any given time, with upscale tourism putting still more pressure on housing.

Ibiza is an extreme example of a larger phenomenon in Spain, where about 12 percent of the gross domestic product comes from tourism. A recent report found that in 306 cities and towns considered tourism draws, rents are an average of 75 percent higher than the national average — the largest gap ever. Already this summer, thousands of protesters have turned up in other vacation spots including Malaga, Mallorca and the Canary Islands to demonstrate against the excesses of tourism.

Ms. Trilla, who now runs Habitat 3, a foundation that works to facilitate subsidized housing, said that on Ibiza, the crisis has been intensified by a new spate of discount airline connections to European capitals, and by more online platforms renting apartments to foreign visitors. The median price for a home on the island is now €558 a square foot — three times the national average and more than double the average in Madrid and Barcelona.

Three-quarters of prospective buyers on Ibiza are looking for a second home, while another 15 percent want an investment property, said Paloma Pérez Bravo, C.E.O. of Sotheby’s International Realty in Spain. So on an island with inadequate housing and limited buildable land, many homes sit vacant for much of the year. And since the pandemic, she added, there’s been more demand from buyers who want to live on the island year-round. “Ibiza is a good investment because the prices never stop rising,” Ms. Pérez said.

On a recent afternoon just before the demolition at Can Rova, residents related stories of crammed studio apartments where people would sleep in shifts on so-called “hot beds” for about €300 a month.

Maria Fernanda Chica, a 34-year-old Colombian who is awaiting working papers, lived in one such apartment while cleaning luxury homes for cash. “I couldn’t cook food when I needed to,” she said of the conditions. “At best I could use the kitchen once per day.”

This summer, she was living in a makeshift structure in Can Rova with her partner and teenage son. Most of the residents there rented plots for between €350 and €450 a month, plus €50 euros for water and another €50 for electricity. The residents were responsible for digging their own septic systems. A good number had built shanties from plywood, shipping pallets, AstroTurf, tarpaulins and other basic materials.

Jonathan Sanchez, 33, and his girlfriend Sandra Velasquez, 41, sleep in a tent among a few dozen others in another informal settlement. Mr. Sanchez, who was born on Ibiza, works construction by day. Ms. Velasquez, a Colombian émigré lacking work documents, works nights cleaning for €7 an hour.

“I don’t even remember the last time I went to the beach,” said Mr. Sanchez on a recent night. His T-shirt said “Ants” — the name of the party that Mr. Pissenem hosts on Saturdays.

The couple charge their mobile phones at bus stops and draw water from a tap in a nearby cemetery. Most of their neighbors are seasonal workers from Morocco who decamp after the summer season. Mr. Sanchez has been in his tent for 14 months. His co-workers have no idea where he lives. “It’s not that I am embarrassed,” he said. “I just don’t want people to feel sorry for me.”

Whenever campers like Mr. Sanchez are forced to move on, the Guardia Civil, one of Spain’s two national police forces, will likely play a role (as they did in the Can Rova eviction). But many of the officers are themselves caught in this housing crisis. At the height of tourist season, there were 17 vacant Guardia Civil positions on Ibiza. Many new recruits avoid work on the island and rotate out when they can find an opening elsewhere in Spain, said Tomas Quesada, a Guardia Civil officer and union representative. Starting salaries are just €1,800 a month, and the monthly €94.63 cost-of-living bonus makes little difference.

“It is leading to the desertification of public services,” Mr. Quesada said. “We have the right to be able to live.”

Nurses and doctors face a similar reality. So do teachers, some of whom commute daily by airplane from other islands to save money. “We don’t have the same level of public services here in Ibiza,” said Joana Tur Planells, a union representative for teachers.

Land will always be limited on a 220-square-mile island, but there is an emerging consensus that government intervention is needed. In the town of Santa Eulària des Riu, where Can Rova was located, City Hall plans to allocate 54,000 square feet of public land for housing construction over the next few years. Policy documents call for increased emphasis on the construction of multifamily dwellings and a crackdown on illegal short-term rentals.

Carmen Ferrer Torres, Santa Eulalia des Riu’s conservative mayor, points to plans to break ground on the construction of 60 smaller rental apartments — a fraction of the units needed to ease the strain.

“These are important, urgent problems with solutions that will take longer than we have,” the mayor said. In the meantime, her party also advocates further liberalizing rental markets, betting that streamlined evictions for scofflaws could free up stagnant housing stock. Ms. Ferrer was on site supporting the July 31 clearance of Can Rova.

But for Ms. Trilla, the housing economist, the big picture solution is clear. “It’s necessary to prioritize public housing for essential workers,” she said, adding that the problem is not just housing but the price of land. Basically, public money is needed to buy private property at market prices.

She pointed to a series of policies in Barcelona, the Catalonian capital, that might ease short-term housing supply, including one that would temporarily loosen zoning rules so officials could break up single-family homes into multiple apartments. Barcelona is also phasing out short-term rentals of the type offered by platforms like Airbnb. They will be virtually banned by 2028.

On the private side, successful business owners like Mr. Pissenem, the club impresario, are wrestling with the crisis. His company has begun helping its seasonal workers find accommodations. “We all need to figure out a way to help the people that hold the island in their hands,” he said.

For now, Ibizans like Ms. Bocuñano wonder where their next home may be. For the first couple of nights after the Can Rova raid, she stayed on a friend’s couch. Her son is staying with her mother on the other side of the island. She was briefly allowed back in to Can Rova to get her personal possessions, including her caravan, but needed to borrow a vehicle to tow it.

From there, she said, “I am going to recover and put the pieces back together.”
