Sun, Sand, and Scenic Bliss
Ibiza is a haven for beach lovers, boasting a diverse coastline that ranges from bustling party hubs to serene stretches of sand. Whether you’re seeking a vibrant atmosphere or a tranquil escape, these five beaches offer a taste of Ibiza’s natural beauty and diverse beach experiences.
Cala Salada & Cala Saladeta
On Ibiza’s west coast, these neighboring coves are a local favorite. Cala Salada, the larger of the two, is known for its crystal-clear waters and pine-covered hills. A short walk over the rocks leads you to the smaller and more secluded Cala Saladeta, a true gem with calm waters and a tranquil ambiance.
Cala de Sant Vicent
Located in the north of the island, Cala de Sant Vicent is a long, sandy beach with shallow waters, making it ideal for families and those who prefer a gentle swim. Its picturesque setting, with mountains rising in the background, and the relaxed atmosphere make it a perfect place to unwind and soak up the sun.
Cala Tarida
Situated on the island’s west coast, Cala Tarida is a wide beach with soft, white sand and inviting turquoise waters. While it’s a bit more developed than some of Ibiza’s other beaches, it still offers a peaceful escape with stunning views and plenty of space to spread out.
Cala Comte (Platges de Comte)
This picturesque beach, on Ibiza’s southwest coast, is renowned for its dramatic cliffs, clear turquoise waters, and breathtaking sunsets. The beach has a vibrant atmosphere, with several beach bars and restaurants serving delicious food and drinks.
Cala Gració
Nestled near the lively resort of San Antonio, Cala Gració is a charming cove with calm, turquoise waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The surrounding cliffs provide a dramatic backdrop, and the beach’s smaller size and relaxed vibe make it an excellent spot for families and those seeking a quieter atmosphere
