Sea & Beach Reviews from Ibiza

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Before you arrive in Ibiza you’ll probably already have heard about Playa d’en Bossa, a stretch of beach resort packed full of tourists, hotels, bars, beach clubs and lounges with DJ’s spinning tunes all day as buckets of cocktails, champagne and top shelf Vodka are downed on cabana beds stretching as far as the eye can see.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
