The Illa de l'Aire Lighthouse was inaugurated in the summer of 1860 and during its construction the boat carrying the workers capsized and one of them drowned. When its tower was built, it was the tallest of all the lighthouses on the Balearic Islands, until the Moscarter lighthouse was built in Ibiza in 1977.

If you want to enjoy excellent views but with a somewhat difficult path, do not hesitate to walk along the Camí de Cavalls path. From it you will enjoy another small island located specifically in front of Punta Prima, San Luis. Its total area is 34 hectares and its perimeter reaches 3,300 meters. At most it rises 15 meters above sea level and the installation of a lighthouse whose name is the air island lighthouse stands out.

Lighthouse keepers are the only workers on the station, so they must have skills like cooking gourmet meals, cleaning, providing excellent customer service, organizing supply requests, and piloting the station's only ship.
