S'Arenal de San Antonio Beach Review

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.

Sunset at Benirras Beach, San Miguel

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.

Playa Xarraca Beach Review

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.

Las Salinas Beach Review

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.

Figueretes Beach Review

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.

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 Conta Beach Review

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.

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.

Talamanca Beach Review

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.

Port de Sant Miquel Beach Review

White sandy beach perfect for families

Nestled in the thickly forested hills at the far north of the island lies Port de Sant Miquel, a busy purpose-built resort town and pretty beach that is perfect for a relaxing family holiday.

Cala Vadella Beach Review

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.

Cala Gracio & Gracioneta Beach Review

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.

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.

Pinta Xinxo Beach Review

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.

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.

Port des Torrent Beach Review

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.
