Playa Xarraca Beach Review

A beautiful cove with a stunning hidden secret

To experience some beautiful areas of Ibiza’s coastline you need to get yourselves up to the north of the island. Far more rugged in nature and much less built up than the populated south, northern Ibiza is home to a collection of small coves hemmed in by rugged cliffs with steep descents and views out to nothing but ocean.

Serral Beach Review

A little hidden beach and lounge bar looking out over San Antonio

If you’re looking for a little hideaway that’s not too far from the town but feels a world away then head to Serral beach in the Sant Joseph area of the San Antonio bay.

Cala Llentia Beach Review

A tiny peaceful beach perfect for snorkelers and explorers

Cala Llentia is tucked into the south-west of Ibiza in a stretch of coastline that boasts some much bigger and much busier beaches. Cala Bassa, Cala Conta and Cala Tarida are all not far away but come the summer months these well-known beaches draw the crowds in a big way.

Pinta Xinxo Beach Review

An often ignored little beach at the far end of San Antonio bay

Many beaches dot the coastline of San Antonio Bay and Punta Xinxo is the very last of them. The furthest away from the main town and consequently one of the least visited in the bay, it’s not very large and its neighbour Pinet beach is noticeably prettier and livelier and so tends to draw more people.

Calo des Moro Beach Review

Best spot in San Antonio town for sunset swimming & snorkelling

Situated right at the north end of San Antonio’s iconic Sunset Strip is this sandy little beach that’s often over looked.

Playa Es Pouet Beach Review

A town centre beach with whiter sand & a little more charm

Playa es Pouet is easy walking distance from the centre of San Antonio and yet infinitely more appealing than its larger neighbour the main beach S’Arenal de San Antonio.

Es Cavallet Beach Review

A beautiful, relaxed, gay friendly beach with official naturist status

Es Cavallet, one of Ibiza’s most southern beaches is a beautiful place to spend a day. Golden sand, clear blue sea, views for days and no dress code, Es Cavallet is a winner.

Cala Conta among Spain's top ten beaches

El Pais has chosen Cala Conta as one of the best beaches in Spain

Emerald water, eleven different islets dotting the coastline and stunning sunsets are only some of the reasons why renowned Spanish newspaper El Pais has chosen Cala Conta among the top ten beaches in Spain.

Calo des Moltons & Cala des Bosc Beach Review

Two beautiful secluded coves in Port de Sant Miquel

Port de Sant Miquel has a lovely main beach that’s large enough to accommodate all the guests of its many imposing hotels and also provides every amenity those guests could require. But if serenity matters to you more than size and service, then you might want to take a wander to one of these two smaller and much calmer little beaches close by.

Cala Tarida Beach Review

A beach designed for adventurers, explorers & deep sea divers

Located only half an hour outside of San Antonio, but rarely visited by tourists, this under the radar beach is popular with Spanish families and locals and they are more than happy to keep it their little secret. A beautiful beach dotted with rocks for climbing and jumping off and with a healthy scattering of beach lounges and restaurants, this beach is a great spot to spend a day with the family.

Cala Codolar Beach Review

A slice of paradise in Ibiza’s southwest

Neighbouring beach Cala Conta tends to get all the hype for being the stunning beach in this area and there’s no denying that it is truly beautiful but with that reputation comes the crowds, so if you’re looking for something a little quieter, a little less well known but just as beautiful then keep on going until you find tiny, perfect Cala Codolar.

Exploring the Island of Ibiza by Moped

A day out on the open roads of the south & south west of Ibiza

Deciding to venture further a field along the south coast of Ibiza I made the choice to hire a moped (scooter) for the day, hoping to find it an easier way to travel around than on public transport.

Sandy beach is longer than it looks at Figueretes Ibiza

Figueretes Beach Review

Much more than just a city beach

Cala Figueretes is the closest beach to Ibiza town but it’s much more than just a town adjacent stretch of sand. Figueretes is a beautiful white sand beach that would be well worth trekking to, the fact that you don’t have to is simply a bonus.

Port des Torrent Beach Review

One of the best resort beaches along San Antonio bay

Port des Torrent beach is really the last beach that can claim to be in the San Antonio Bay area and is also probably the furthest one you can conceivably walk to. Located 4.5 km away from San Antonio town along a lovely coastal stretch it will take you about an hour to walk. Once there you have the option to hop on a bus or ferry to get back to town.

Sunset at Benirras Beach, San Miguel

One of the most popular sunset spots on the island is definitely worth a visit

Location: Sant Miquel de Balansat

On a quiet Wednesday evening early in the season we decided that it was going to be a peach of a sunset and so heading to Benirras Beach in the north west was a definite on the days agenda.

Cala Gracio & Gracioneta Beach Review

Two stunning beaches an easy walk from San Antonio

These two pristine beaches are as beautiful as you will find any where in Ibiza, and they are an easy walk from the main town of San Antonio but feel a whole world away.

Las Salinas Beach Review

Stunning UNESCO protected stretch of soft sand & crystal clear water

Las Salinas beach has long been listed as one of Ibiza’s top beaches, it’s long and wide with powder soft sand, luxury beach lounges and a backing of sand dunes and pine trees, not to mention its best feature – the crystal clear, strikingly blue sea with unhampered views out over the open ocean. Salinas is quite simply stunning.
