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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Situated right at the north end of San Antonio’s iconic Sunset Strip is this sandy little beach that’s often over looked.
Our handpicked favourite beach clubs on the island of Ibiza
I have found my new happy place and it's called Cala Saladeta on the south-west coast of the island of Ibiza.
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.
The rugged coastline running north from San Antonio bay is a treasure trove of dramatic scenery and hidden coves, and Cala Yoga tucked into the cliffs at the base of Punta de sa Galera is an example of both these things. If you want to really feel like a local, get off the beaten track of tourist beaches and sea some beautiful views then head out exploring and find yourself at Cala Yoga.
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.
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.
Playa Pinet has long been one of the best beaches in San Antonio bay, a beautiful spot with white sand and clear water but stunning though it is, this beach tended to be remembered for the atmosphere rather than it’s beauty.
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.
