Tagomago

Is Tagomago for sale, and how much does it cost?

Tagomago is a 148 acres private island in Balearic Islands, Spain. It is understood to be available discreetly: €150,000,000. Tenure is freehold. Foreign ownership is permitted subject to local approvals. This is an editorial profile drawn from public record, clearly attributed, not our listing.

Summary

Marketed as Europe's most exclusive private island, Tagomago sits some nine hundred metres off north-east Ibiza and has carried an asking price of around one hundred and fifty million euros. Its roughly one hundred and fifty acres hold a single lavish five-bedroom villa, a beach bar, a helipad and a 1913 lighthouse, staffed by a full team and reachable only by boat or helicopter. Long operated as an ultra-luxury rental as well as a private residence, it is a trophy asset in every sense. Its market presence is intermittent, so it is profiled here as a quiet, standing offering rather than an active listing.

Land & Waterfront

The island covers about sixty hectares of protected Mediterranean landscape that doubles as a bird sanctuary, laced with walking trails and fronted by clear Balearic water. Despite the scale, development is deliberately restrained to a single villa compound, leaving most of the island as natural reserve. The setting looks across to Ibiza and toward Formentera, with sheltered approaches for tenders and yachts. Bathing, cruising and quiet walking define the experience; the reserve status keeps the land wild and the sense of seclusion complete despite the celebrated coastline nearby.

Access & Utilities

Access is exclusively by boat or by helicopter to the island's helipad, with Ibiza airport close by on the adjacent island. As a fully serviced estate it carries connected power and water, high-end domestic technology, tender boats and accommodation for a full staff team including manager, captain, chef and housekeeping. Everything needed to run the island as a flagship residence or rental is already in place, so a buyer inherits a turnkey operation. Utility and mooring arrangements should nonetheless be verified against the coastal and reserve rules in diligence.

Ownership & Use

Spanish freeholdOutright ownership of the land itself, indefinitely — the strongest form of title. is open to foreign buyers with no nationality bar, and EU capital-movement rules assist EEA purchasers. The established uses are twofold: an ultra-private family residence and a premium whole-island rental that has hosted high-profile guests, giving the asset a genuine income dimension at the very top of the market. Buyers must weigh the nature-reserve designation and Ley de Costas shoreline rules, which constrain change, against the rarity of a staffed, turnkey island beside Ibiza. It is a trophy holding whose value rests on scarcity, servicing and location.

Provenance

Held for around 15 years by German entrepreneur Matthias Kühn (husband of Norma Duval) via 'Isla Tagomago SA', who listed it for sale at EUR 150M in 2020. As of January 2025, Balearic prosecutors were investigating alleged concealment of Kühn's ownership interest amid an unresolved tax debt reported above EUR 20M, and the island's for-sale status remains unresolved.
