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.

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.

Look back on the old town of Ibiza from talamanca beach

Talamanca Beach Review

See and be seen on Ibiza town’s best beach

Talamanca is arguably the nicest beach within walking distance of Ibiza Town. There’s not much to pick between it and Figueretes at the other end but with just a little more seclusion and a touch more sophistication Talamanca wins out as the beach for those in the know.

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 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 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.

Cala Vadella Beach Review

Something for everyone in south west Ibiza

The south-west of Ibiza is a stretch of coastline that is known for its exceptional beaches, you’ll find yourself falling over beautiful coves and stretches of sand in this stunning corner of the island. Hard as it may be for one beach to stand out amidst so many, Cala Vadella manages just that.

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.

Playa S'Estanyol Beach Review

A beach of three halves, within walking distance from San Antonio

Not to be confused with the ‘hidden’ beach S’Estanyol on the east of the island, this one is much larger, much more accessible and located over on the west coast in the San Antonio bay.

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 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.

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 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 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.
