Calo des Moro Beach Review

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

Port de Sant Miquel Beach Review

Port de Sant Miquel Beach Review

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.

Look back on the old town of Ibiza from talamanca beach

Talamanca Beach Review

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.

Calo des Moltons & Cala des Bosc

Calo des Moltons & Cala des Bosc Beach Review

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.

Cheap and cheerful restaurant, Es Pueto

Playa Es Pouet Beach Review

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 S'Estanyol Beach Review

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.

Sandy beach is longer than it looks at Figueretes Ibiza

Figueretes Beach Review

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.

Las Salinas Beach Review

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.

Cala Salada Beach Review

I have found my new happy place and it's called Cala Saladeta on the south-west coast of the island of Ibiza.

Crystal clear water at cala bassa ibiza

Cala Bassa Beach, East Ibiza

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

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.

Port des Torrent Beach Review

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.

Cala Vadella Beach Review

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.

Serral Beach Review

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.

Pinta Xinxo Beach Review

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.

Exploring the Island of Ibiza by Moped

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.

Cala Bassa Beach Review

A stunning beach where luxury is the name of the game and the sea takes the prize for star attraction.

Sunset at Benirras Beach, San Miguel

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.
