Land Rover has unveiled the exclusive Defender Eivissa Limited Editions, inspired by the picturesque Mediterranean island of Ibiza, Spain. Offered in two unique configurations—Sunrise and Noontide—this limited-edition SUV features vibrant color schemes and special badges. Only six units will be produced, with three models of each configuration, making this series truly exclusive.
The name “Eivissa” is the Catalan term for Ibiza, a renowned tourist destination located off Spain's eastern coast. Known for its energetic nightlife and natural beauty, Ibiza serves as the ideal backdrop for Land Rover’s Destination Defender Ibiza event, where these special edition Defenders are exclusively available for order. This event celebrates the Defender’s spirit and connection to adventure, inviting Land Rover fans to experience the island while having the opportunity to purchase one of these limited editions.
The Defender 110 Eivissa Sunrise and the Defender 90 Noontide represent the island’s natural beauty at different times of the day. The Sunrise edition boasts a striking yellow exterior with gloss black accents, designed to evoke the “magical yellow of sunrise” seen after a night of festivities. In contrast, the Noontide edition features a light blue body with white accents, a color palette reminiscent of the sky and sea against Ibiza’s traditional whitewashed buildings. Together, these models pay homage to the unique aesthetic of Ibiza’s landscape.
While Land Rover has not disclosed specific features or performance specifications for the Eivissa Limited Editions, each vehicle is expected to include high-end equipment and luxurious finishes that match the Defender’s reputation for rugged sophistication. The Eivissa models bear distinctive livery and emblems unique to this special edition, emphasizing their connection to Ibiza’s rich culture and history.
Land Rover has shared that the production of only six units is a tribute to the island’s ancient past. Ibiza was originally named “Iboshim” by the Phoenicians, in honor of the god Bess, a deity associated with protection, fertility, and domestic well-being, who is also connected to the number six. This historical significance adds another layer of meaning to the Eivissa Limited Editions, reflecting a deep respect for the island’s heritage.
The Destination Defender Ibiza event, running from September 13 to September 29, offers an immersive experience for Land Rover enthusiasts. Attendees can engage in a variety of activities, from on- and off-road drives to hiking, coasteering, yoga, and wellness sessions. The event also includes culinary experiences showcasing local cuisine, as well as pool sessions and lively opening and closing parties. Land Rover will display two of the Eivissa Limited Edition models during the event, alongside the powerful V8 Defender OCTA, giving attendees a closer look at these unique vehicles.
In essence, the Defender Eivissa Limited Editions are more than just vehicles; they are symbols of the island’s vibrant spirit, history, and natural beauty. By limiting production and associating each unit with Ibiza’s cultural heritage, Land Rover has created a truly distinctive tribute to one of the Mediterranean’s most beloved destinations.
