Cala Moli Beach Review

A beach made for snorkelers and explorers

The area south of San Antonio Bay is simply littered with beaches worth visiting and you’d have to holiday here for longer than a week to spend a full day at each of them. But one little beach that should be on your itinerary, if only for a few hours, is quiet, pebbly little Cala Moli located in between the busier neighbouring beaches of Cala Tarida and Cala Vedella.

Cheap and cheerful restaurant, Es Pueto

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.

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.

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.

Cala Bassa Beach, East Ibiza

An afternoon at this beach just west of San Antonio

Arriving just after lunch I decided to explore this beach a little before sitting back, relaxing and listening to the gentle lapping of the waves on the shore.

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.

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.

Playa de Ses Illetes

Formentera beach takes its place in world's Top 25

Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice puts Ibiza beach in at number 7

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.

S'Arenal de San Antonio Beach Review

San Antonio's city beach with plenty of entertainment

San Antonio’s main beach Playa de S’Arenal, is as close to the main town as you could wish to be. It is a long way from being one of Ibiza’s top beaches but it is central, accessible, youthful and has every amenity you could wish for; lifeguards to lounges, bouncy castles to burger king, S’Arenal has got you covered.

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 Beach Review

Busy twin beaches with stunning water and even better view

The two beaches of Cala Conta and Cala Comte need little to no introduction, they are already famed throughout Ibiza and in San Antonio particularly for being two of the most stunning beaches in the immediate area.

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.

Cala Corral Beach Review

Peace and quiet at this beach with a difference

Cala Corral is not a beach in the traditional sense but is no less beautiful for being a little unique. Located on the south-west coast of Ibiza in a stretch of coastline that is home to some stunning beaches such as Cala Bassa, Cala Conta and Cala Tarida.

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 Yoga Beach Review

A diamond in the rough, a true hidden gem

The rugged coastline running north from San Antonio bay is a treasure trove of dramatic scenery and hidden coves, and Cala Yoga tucked into the cliffs at the base of Punta de sa Galera is an example of both these things. If you want to really feel like a local, get off the beaten track of tourist beaches and sea some beautiful views then head out exploring and find yourself at Cala Yoga.

Calo des Moltons & Cala des Bosc

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.
