In September 2024, the iconic island of Ibiza hosted the Destination Defender event, where Land Rover unveiled the 2025 Defender Eivissa Limited Editions, a striking tribute to both the Defender brand’s adventurous spirit and Ibiza’s vibrant energy. Blending the island’s famous nightlife with its serene natural beauty, the event perfectly captured the essence of this exclusive release.
The Defender Eivissa Limited Edition is available in two bespoke versions: Sunrise and Noontide. Each draws inspiration from Ibiza’s distinctive atmosphere at different times of the day—Sunrise evokes the island’s golden dawns, while Noontide reflects the crisp blues and whites of its sunlit beaches.
Only six units of the Eivissa Edition will be produced globally, with just three of each variant, making it one of the most exclusive offerings in Defender’s history. The name “Eivissa”, the Catalan term for Ibiza, highlights the island’s cultural heritage and ancient symbolism. Ibiza, an island known for its vibrant nightlife and deep connection to nature, reflects the many facets of Defender. From clubbing and outdoor adventures to mindfulness and wellbeing, Destination Defender on Ibiza offers the perfect setting to enjoy both aspects of this unique world.
Finished in bright blue and warm yellow, the Defender Eivissa Limited Edition pays homage to the vibrant contrasts of Ibiza’s day and night, capturing the essence of adventure, freedom, and exploration that defines Defender. A truly rare find, this limited edition offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history that celebrates both the past and the spirit of modern‑day Ibiza.
Defender Eivissa Noontide Edition is the ideal companion for sunny days in Ibiza. Inspired by the blue sky, the Mediterranean blue of the sea and the white houses of the island, it embodies the freshness of daytime. Its combination of colours reflects the day's activities and the relaxed atmosphere of the beaches and life on the water.
Defender Eivissa Sunrise Edition celebrates nightlife on the island and the magic yellow of sunrise. It is inspired by the spectacular sunrises visible over the coasts and bays of Ibiza and embodies the transition from the lively night to the calming morning.
The event also marked the debut of the Defender OCTA, the most powerful Defender to date, featuring a V8 Twin Turbo mild hybrid engine. Guests enjoyed immersive experiences that reflected the Defender ethos, including gourmet culinary offerings, master mixology sessions led by Mario Hofferer, and an eco-conscious hike-and-clean along the island’s coastline.
With its rare editions, cultural roots, and emphasis on exploration, the Defender Eivissa Limited Edition is more than just a luxury SUV—it’s a celebration of Ibiza’s past, present, and the adventurous lifestyle that unites them. Defender and boundless adventure go hand in hand. The British brand combines an unmistakable silhouette – which can trace its roots back to the original 1948 Land Rover – with state‑of‑the‑art technologies and unstoppable capability.
