Illa de Tagomago is a private island off the east coast of Ibiza belonging to Spain.
The etymology is likely from tagomago meaning "rock Mago" in reference to Mago Barca, a brother of the Carthaginian general Hannibal. In the Muslim era it was known as Taj Umayu.
It is 1,525 m long and 113 m wide. The island is rocky, with a port and a lighthouse in the extreme southeast. The Tagomago lighthouse was built in 1913 and is a landmark in the shipping routes from Ibiza to Palma de Mallorca and Barcelona. It is 86.3 m above sea level, and its height is 20.4 m.[1]
The island is owned by Spanish entrepreneur Mariano Montero, and has a small tourist facility within which politicians and celebrities frequently visit.
