1.  Playa de Ses Salines: the epicentre of glamour and nature

Located at the southernmost tip of the island, within the Ses Salines Natural Park, this beach is one of the most iconic and desired destinations worldwide. It is famous for the transparency of its waters, a result of the extensive posidonia oceanica meadows that blanket its seabed.

• Must-dos: take a walk to the Torre de ses Portes, the defense tower that marks the channel between Ibiza and Formentera, or enjoy a cocktail while listening to the music of resident DJs at its famous beach clubs.


• Top tips: as it is a highly popular beach, the regulated parking area usually fills up early during the months of July and August. If you are looking for a more relaxed atmosphere, walk towards the end of the beach where the sand merges with the rocks.


• How to get there: from Ibiza Town, take the airport highway and follow the signs toward San José/Ses Salines. Turn left at the Sant Jordi roundabout and continue straight ahead, driving past the spectacular salt flats until you reach the parking lot.

3.  Talamanca beach: the family refuge next to the capital

Just a couple of kilometers from the center of Ibiza Town and the exclusive Marina Botafoch marina, Playa de Talamanca offers a radically different atmosphere. It is a closed bay, protected from the winds, which guarantees calm waters that look like a real swimming pool.

• Facilities: it features wooden boardwalks running along the entire length of the beach, showers, sunbed rentals, a very wide gastronomic offer that remains open all year round, and paddle surf schools.
