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.

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.

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.

Cheap and cheerful restaurant, Es Pueto

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.

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 Corral Beach Review

Peace and quiet at this beach with a difference

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.

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.

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 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

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.

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.

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.

Calo des Moro Beach Review

Best spot in San Antonio town for sunset swimming & snorkelling

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

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 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.
