Finding the perfect beach for you is a high priority for Be Charter Ibiza. It's not all about boats: our beautiful island has a lot of beautiful places, beaches and coves that you have to discover. Be Charter Ibiza's 10 best beaches in Ibiza is the guide for you!
Ibiza is known for its stunning beaches, and it doesn't have to be difficult to find a long, quiet stretch of beautiful sand to while away your time. Sandy beaches, hidden coves: Ibiza has it all.
Here are our recommendations for the TOP 10 Beaches to visit in Ibiza.
1. Ses Salines
Named after the salt lakes found in the south of Ibiza, Ses Salines is a mile-long crescent of sand. It is located at the southern end of the island and is bordered by a small pine forest, sand dunes and a nature reserve.
It is a seemingly endless stretch of soft white sand, lapped by beautiful crystal clear waters which, on slightly windier days, can even provide good waves for surfing. Due to the high salt content in the water here, you can also stay afloat longer!
This beach is home to an incredible selection of beach restaurants: Beso Beach Salines, Malibu, The Jockey Club and Sa Trinxa, to name the main ones on the beach, all serve fabulous food and cocktails. Las Salines is a great place to relax and people watch - there is ALWAYS something going on!
2. Sa Caleta/Es Bol Nou
Es Bol Nou is one of our undisputed favourite places to go in Ibiza. This stunning cove is backed by spectacular red cliffs and sand to match. This cove has very shallow and transparent waters. At the entrance, there are pebbles, but afterwards, the seabed is sandy, although you have to be careful because there are some big rocks.
Whatever your point of view, the aquamarine water that laps the coast is the perfect place to swim. For others, it's just a heavenly family beach with shallow waters and excellent snorkelling opportunities. It is a special place.
There is also a good restaurant next to the beach called Sa Caleta, where they have very good fish and seafood.
Next to Es Bol Nou is Sa Caleta, a place with fishermen's houses, you can find local people. If you are looking for a place to relax, this is one of them.
Between Es Bol Nou and Sa Caleta, you can find an ancient Phoenician settlement, remains of streets, courtyards and buildings that were once occupied by the ancient Phoenicians and Carthaginians.
3. Cala Saladeta and Cala Salada
Surrounded by a sparsely urbanized green environment, Cala Salada is one of the best-rated and most visited coves by residents of the island and is considered one of the best beaches in Ibiza.
Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta, its neighbour, emerge from cozy coves that form two pleasant coves of golden sand and crystal clear waters that reflect bluish colors to create a dream landscape.
Cala Salada is usually full of people, but after following a winding path you reach Cala Saladeta, a beach of unparalleled beauty. Its crystal clear waters and small sandy area will make it your little paradise.
4. Punta Galera
Punta Galera is one of the most magical and unique spots in Ibiza, perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat close to nature. Located near Sant Antoni de Portmany, this striking rocky coastline is renowned for its natural stone terraces. Unlike traditional beaches, it has no sand, making it an ideal destination for visitors arriving by boat who wish to enjoy its tranquility in comfort.
With no facilities such as bars or sun loungers, Punta Galera’s charm lies in its unspoiled beauty. It offers a serene atmosphere, ideal for meditation, yoga, or simply disconnecting from the world. Entering the water is easy despite the lack of sand, as the seabed is deep and teeming with rocks and marine vegetation, making it an excellent spot for snorkeling and scuba diving.
Be sure to bring sturdy footwear and plenty of water. Punta Galera is a true hidden gem that connects you with the purest essence of Ibiza.
5. Cala Xarraca
Cala Xarraca is a hidden gem in the north of Ibiza, known for its crystal clear turquoise waters and tranquil atmosphere. Surrounded by cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation, this small cove is perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle and connect with nature.
Famous for its seabed, Cala Xarraca is ideal for snorkelling, offering an underwater world full of life.
The landscape is very attractive and the surrounding coast offers many secluded nooks and crannies. Although there is a local fish restaurant, the environment remains unspoilt and undeveloped, providing an authentic experience.
Cala Xarraca is a perfect place to enjoy the serenity and natural beauty of Ibiza, away from the crowds.
6. Cala d'Hort
If you have never visited Cala d'Hort before, you will surely fall in love with the silhouette of the islet silhouetted against the horizon. The views that you will be able to see as you approach the islet will surely provoke the same magnetism in you as the first hippies who arrived on the island in the 60s and made Ibiza one of their must-see places.
Cala d'Hort was declared a natural park and today we can enjoy the beauty of its surroundings.
The beach also has some restaurants where you can try Ibizan specialties; we recommend the Restaurant Es Boldado.
If you accept a recommendation, order a bullit de peix, one of the dishes most loved by Ibizans.
If you are going to spend the day on this beach, we recommend that you go to the left side of the beach to see the sunset, or look out from the cliffs just before reaching the beach. The views of the sun melting into the sea with the islet of Es Vedrà on the horizon are memorable.
Without a doubt, a place full of magic and magnetism.
7.Cala Llentrisca
Cala Llentrisca is one of the most virgin beaches, solitary and secluded on the island. The only sign of human presence that occupies the place are the traditional boathouse houses, similar to those found in Es Portitxol, where fishermen keep their llaüts (traditional fishing boats) and which are integrated as another element of the landscape.
The fact that the beach is not very popular is due to several reasons: firstly, it is a cove far from the usual tourist circuit. In addition, it is a long walk and the heat can be discouraging for those looking for the comfort of reaching a beach in just a few minutes.
Finally, the shore is logically in its natural state: on this stretch of coast there are stones and remains of dead posidonia.
But if you are a diving lover, you should know that Cala Llentrisca is one of the most recommended places for observing the seabed. The crystal-clear waters that bathe this cove and the rocky seabed offer a spectacle for bathers who come with diving goggles.
8. Cala Gracioneta
Cala Gracioneta is a small cove located near San Antonio, on the west coast of Ibiza, following Cala Gració. Famous for its intimate and picturesque atmosphere, this beach stands out for its crystal clear turquoise waters and its natural environment surrounded by pine trees. With a tranquil atmosphere, it is ideal for swimming, snorkelling or relaxing in the sun.
The cove is home to the popular restaurant El Chiringuito Cala Gracioneta, which offers an unforgettable Mediterranean gastronomic experience, perfect for enjoying a meal by the sea. Thanks to its small size and cosy atmosphere, Cala Gracioneta is a perfect place for those looking for a getaway away from the hustle and bustle.
This area is ideal for snorkelling and paddle surfing.
9. Figuera Borda
Located very close to Cala Comte, on the west coast of Ibiza, is Sa Figuera Borda, one of those places that surprise and leave a mark.
The water is crystalline and transparent, there are hardly any bathers and the panorama that can be seen is spectacular, with the islets of S’Espartar and Es Vedrá in the background.
Its unique feature is the large stone arch that the rock has.
People say that from here you can see one of the best sunsets in Ibiza away from the crowds.
Near Cala Sa Figuera Borda there are nice restaurants, some of them with the Mediterranean as a backdrop. Here we select some of them:
10.Cala Xuclà
Cala Xuclar is one of the smallest and most picturesque coves in northern Ibiza, perfect for those seeking tranquility and a deeper connection with nature. Nestled among pine-covered hills, this hidden gem retains its unspoiled, rustic charm, far removed from the island’s busy tourist areas.
The cove features a mix of sandy shores and pebbled seabed, creating a unique and inviting landscape. A small beach bar adds to its charm, serving fresh fish and local specialties, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed, authentic dining experience.
Cala Xuclar is a haven of serenity, perfect for sunbathing on its peaceful shore or venturing into nearby nature trails. This hidden treasure invites visitors to unwind and immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of the Mediterranean.
