 Playa Sa Caleta

A dreamy beach with turquoise waters and a relaxed atmosphere, Sa Caleta is a hidden gem on the Ibizan coast. Its turquoise waters invite you to take a dip, and contrast with the imposing red cliffs that surround it—Instagrammable, no doubt about it. 

The volcanic origins of this beach not only offer a unique landscape but a sense of isolation. Perhaps the stone absorbs sound and its location is far from any noisy towns, making it an ideal refuge for those seeking tranquillity.

 Playa Es Codolar

Es Codolar is a pebble beach, with stones of various sizes and colours creating a natural mosaic underfoot, inviting you to explore. From the beach, you can enjoy stunning panoramic views of the sea and nearby cliffs. This spot is perfect if you hate flicking sand out of your shoes for days!

Playa Es Codolar’s location, near the airport, allows visitors to watch planes land and take off, which is why we consider it an ideal spot for aviation enthusiasts. That said, the beach still enjoys the tranquillity and solitude that the area around Es Codolar is known for. Visit this spot to disconnect from routine, make pebble art, and enjoy the sea breeze.

Playa Es Figueral

 
Located near the Invisa Figueral Resort, this beach combines fine sand and pebble beach so you can choose whatever you prefer, simply walk left or right till you find your perfect texture. There are also good services on and around the beach area for refreshments.

Playa Cala Gracioneta

Cala Gracioneta is a small hidden gem on the coast of San Antonio. This lesser-known but beautiful cove stands out for its crystal-clear waters and natural surroundings. The cove is tucked into cliffs that give it a special charm. 

Here, the shallow, clear waters allow you to enjoy vibrant and varied marine life, and make it children-friendly because you can safely paddle while seeing the seafloor and letting the little ones splash about.

 Cala Llentrisca

Cala Llentrisca is one of the most remote and untouched coves in Ibiza, a true treasure for those seeking to get away from the crowds and enjoy nature in its purest form. 

The downside, which is what makes it less frequented by the average traveller, is that access to Cala Llentrisca is not easy, which adds to its charm and keeps it less frequented. You will need a good pair of trainers for the short walk down to such an isolated cove. It’s worth it! Its exceptionally clear and clean waters are ideal for snorkelling and diving.

 Cala Olivera

A quiet and less crowded cove, ideal for those looking for a place to relax. This small cove offers an intimate and relaxed atmosphere, perfect for enjoying the sun and sea in a privileged natural setting.

 Cala d’en Serra

Cala d'en Serra is a small virgin cove located in the northern part of Ibiza, surrounded by high cliffs and offering spectacular scenery and crystal-clear turquoise waters that invite you to take a swim.

 Cala Es Portixol

A small cove, also with challenging access, Cala Es Portixol is another slide of coastline that rewards visitors with ample nature and dreamlike crystal-clear waters. This cove offers an intimate and tranquil atmosphere, perfect for those looking to enjoy nature in its purest form. 

We say that reaching Cala Es Portixol requires some effort because there’s no direct car access. You need to park in a designated area and walk for a few minutes along a trail through nature. Just as is true of Cala d’en Serra, the effort to reach this cove is rewarded with spectacular scenery and a total sense of privacy.

Cala Llentia

Cala Llentia is a cove located on the west coast of Ibiza, perfectly combining natural beauty with contemporary art. You heard that right! On the cliffs of Cala Llentia is the impressive sculpture "Time & Space" by Australian artist Andrew Rogers, composed of large basalt columns. This artwork has become an icon of the island and offers a fascinating contrast with the natural surroundings.

Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta

Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta are twin coves located on the west coast of Ibiza, sharing exceptional natural beauty and a lively atmosphere. These easily accessible coves are equipped with a wide range of services to keep you hydrated, satisfied, and entertained—perfect for spending a day at the beach with family or friends. 

Cala Salada is the larger and more lively of the two, with more services and a more festive atmosphere. Cala Saladeta is smaller and quieter than Cala Salada, ideal for those seeking a more relaxed environment.

Cala d’Hort

One of Ibiza's most famous coves, known for its stunning views of Es Vedrà, Cala d’Hort is a spot we love to talk about! We’ve written about its magic at sunset on multiple occasions, and you can discover more about this enchanting cove on our blog.
