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.

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.

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 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.

Cala Bassa Beach Review

Luxury and sparkling waters at this beach near San Antonio

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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 Salada Beach Review

Stunning beaches set in crystal clear sapphire water

Playa d'en Bossa Beach Review

The beach that’ll be anything you want it to be

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
