Illa de Tagomago is a private island off the coast of Santa Eulària des Riu, rising from the Mediterranean Sea. It has a port on its northwestern side and features a distinctive lighthouse at its southeastern point.
The name comes from 'rock of Magó,' referring to Magón Barca, a Carthaginian general and brother of Hannibal who influenced the region. A lighthouse was built in 1913 to guide ships navigating between nearby islands.

The island is privately owned and best viewed from the water or nearby coastal points. Visitors can see its structures and lighthouse from boats or the surrounding shoreline.
The German band Can named their second studio album 'Tago Mago' after this island, creating an unexpected link between music history and this location. This connection gave the island a unique place in twentieth-century cultural history.
