Restoration and new cultural centres to diversify tourism
What does it consist of?
The Island Council of Ibiza is launching a plan to restore heritage sites across the island and turn them into sustainable tourism attractions. As well as restorations, the initiative will also see new museums and cultural facilities opened in a bid to offer more off-season attractions and highlight the island’s historical legacy.

The project
Ibiza is diversifying its tourism economy with a focus on heritage. In this context, the Island Council has come up with an action plan to restore protected assets, open new cultural centres and enhance historic sites, with a view to a more sustainable, cultural, non-seasonal tourism model.
The plan involves the restoration of Pep Joan Mill and its outbuildings, the acquisition of Portinatx Defence Tower, a new museum at s'Olivera Archaeological Site, the new Pityusic Islands Geology Centre and construction plans for a future centre for hosting and restoring public museum collections.These spaces will not only teach people more about the island’s past, but will be part of a museum system open to residents and visitors all year round. Some of them are located in iconic settings such as the Puig des Molins Necropolis and the Renaissance walls, boosting their cultural and scenic value.
With a planned investment of more than €2.2 million, this action is part of a regional strategy focused on a circular economy and a shift in the tourism model. Heritage, seen as a driving force for culture and the economy, thus stands as a tool for rethinking the relationship between tourism and the land, promoting more balanced development for Ibiza.Project gallery
