sun loungers Cala carbo Ibiza

1. Cala Carbo Beach, South-West Ibiza

A small pebble beach of only about 50m long, with sun loungers and umbrellas available.

This beach is very popular with locals as the clear water is great for snorkelling and swimming. The surrounding hills are covered with Ibizan pine trees and free from any imposing buildings. 

The drive down to the beach is also very pretty, it's situated in an area with plenty of accommodation so it will be easy to reach for most people.

This beach is particularly appealing for those people who want to get away from families with younger children, as they tend to stick to the sandy beaches rather than the pebble ones such as this.

Es Vedra from Cala d'Hort

2. Cala d'Hort Beach, South-West Ibiza

A popular destination for tourists and locals, Cala d'Hort is a small pebble and sand beach located close to the town of San Jose.

The beach tends to be fairly quiet first thing as there is not a lot of accommodation near by, so get up early and make your way there to enjoy the tranquil waters and a quick dip in the morning.

The little boat huts are a great backdrop for photos and swimming in this calm and sheltered bay is divine. The rocky outcrop offers yet another great photo opportunity, along with the wooden jetty to the left of the beach if you are looking for that classic Es Vedra shot.

Parking can be tricky as there is a relatively narrow road that leads down to the beach and then some rough parking areas at the bottom that stretch inland. As with many of the beaches, if you can take a moped then you will have no problem parking.

The beach is 150m long with sun loungers and parasols to hire, and has been awarded the Blue Flag consistently since 2007.

3. Cala Moli Pebble Beach, South-West Ibiza

Situated on the west coast of the island, Cala Moli is a cove of pure unspoilt relaxation.

There are no sun loungers or parasols as it has been declare a "natural beach" by local authorities, however, you will find toilets and a restaurant (with a swimming pool) on this 70m pebbly beach.

Definitely the place to come for a quiet day away from hoards of people, and a great place to snorkel and see the abundance of sea life.

It will rarely get overcrowded but in high season there is a chance that you will not find the unspoilt tranquil beach you were hoping for. Remember to take your own entertainment for the day, inflatables, bat and ball, snorkel or maybe just a good book.

The perfect chill out place if you are on your own.

4. Cala Vadella Beach, South-West Ibiza

Through the village of San Jose, continuing to the west coast, you come to the gorgeous bay of Cala Vadella.

Sunbeds, umbrellas and pedaloes are also available to rent and there is a lifeguard on duty for safety.

You may even find the more upmarket full day bed available which allows for a little more privacy with the floating curtains that surround it. 

The beach resort of Cala Vadella has a selection of small shops and restaurants so you won't need to travel very far to find everything that you need.

Parking is limited and it is best to arrive early if you want to get a spot. Unless you are staying in the resort itself you may find it is better to take the short journey along to one of the neighbouring beaches.

Cala Vadella has been awarded the FEE's Blue Flag consistently from 2007 until the present day.
