The Best Beaches in Ibiza

Ibiza is all about fun. Here are our favorite beaches where you can have it.

CALA CARBO BEACH, IBIZA

Put on your bikini, don your sun hat, smother yourself in oil or lotion, take a good book and spend the day walking between your beach lounger and the warm and idyllic ocean. Cala Carbo beach is divine, with sun beds, bean bags and umbrellas. There is a water sport section and you can canoe or paddle boat, the water is warm and divine. The sand is soft and golden and you really can spend a full day here. There are wonderful beach bars, boutiques and restaurants in the area.

CALA JONDAL BEACH, IBIZA

If you’re in Ibiza you have to hire a yacht or at least go on a yacht cruise. Cala Jondal is reached by boat, with visitors arriving at all time of the day then being ferried to the beach. This is a gorgeous beach that fashionistas and party people love visiting, while young families frequent the opposite end. There are beach bars, restaurants and shops galore. Take something to cover yourself when the sun gets too hot, although the beach is fully equipped with sun loungers, umbrellas and you can easily buy a sarong or two.

CALA OLIVERA BEACH, IBIZA

This is a pretty private beach as it is part of the very elite and gated community of Roca Llisa. You just need a vehicle that will get you to the beach. The beach is small and remote, there are no sun beds or sun loungers, which is exactly what makes it so special. Choose your spot on the sand, or take a rock and make it into a sun bed, lay back and soak up the rays. The swimming is irresistible.

CALA XARRACA BEACH, IBIZA

This little bay is a real delight. The water is crystal clear, the snorkelling is fabulous and the walking paths and forests that surround the bay are gorgeous. It is one of the most isolated beaches in Ibiza just a five minute drive from San Juan.You will find natural mud baths to the left of the bay and a nudist beach to the right. Don’t forget your sunblock.

LAS SALINAS BEACH, IBIZA

If you like to party, this is the beach for you. It’s also a cool beach if you like to swim and suntan of course, and is a wonderful meeting place for young people. Las Salinas is a gorgeous beach filled with gorgeous people. In the day, swim and dive headfirst into the water. At night, enjoy the music, cocktails, food and fabulous selection of nightclubs, bars and restaurants. Songs have been sung about this beach. Check it out!
