Illa del Toro
Description
Illa del Toro is an island and marine reserve off the coast of Mallorca, celebrated as one of the finest diving destinations in the Mediterranean thanks to its extraordinary underwater wildlife.
A Marine Reserve Like No Other
Illa del Toro has held marine reserve status for 14 years — and the results are remarkable. The area is recognised as having the highest fish density per square metre in the entire Mediterranean. Divers are rewarded with breathtaking marine life in a fully protected natural environment. The dive centre MarBalear organises guided visits to the island for those wanting to explore beneath the surface.
For Sailors & Boaters
Illa del Toro sits along a popular sailing route. If you're passing by boat, be mindful of shallow waters depending on your vessel's draught. The island also houses a military installation, which means landing ashore is not permitted — so factor in a turn-around if you're heading that way. Running just below a lovely stone wall, you'll find the Carambar area directly beneath.
