Cabrera, Nature preserve island in Balearic Islands, Spain

The Cabrera Archipelago consists of 19 islands and islets, extending across 90,800 hectares of land and sea in the Mediterranean waters.

During the Napoleonic Wars, more than 9,000 French prisoners were confined on Cabrera island, leading to thousands of deaths from 1809 to 1814.

The island maintains strict ecological regulations, allowing only 200 visitors per day to protect its Mediterranean ecosystem and native wildlife populations.

Visitors must obtain permits from ICONA and can reach the island through scheduled boat services departing from Colonia de Sant Jordi in Mallorca.

The waters around Cabrera contain extensive Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows, supporting diverse marine species and maintaining water clarity.
