Cala Comte
Famous mainly for its stunning sunsets, the 800-meter-long beach of Cala Comte is located in the north of the island, near San Antonio. The crystal-clear water that surrounds both the sandy and rocky sides of the beach attracts countless visitors every day. During high season, it’s best to go early to secure your spot.
On the beach, you’ll find the well-known Sunset Ashram restaurant, which offers refreshing drinks, delicious food, and a fantastic view of the coastline. In the evenings, it hosts artists who enhance the sunset experience with great music. Cala Comte is also family-friendly thanks to its gentle entry into the water. You can reach it by car, taxi, or bus.
Ses Salines
Ses Salines is considered one of the most iconic beaches in Ibiza. Bordered by pine forests, this long, wide crescent-shaped beach becomes one of the top spots for tourists during high season. The crystal-clear water, combined with beautiful catamarans anchored nearby, popular beach bars and restaurants playing music that flows across the sand, refreshing cocktails, and delicious food that can be delivered right to your sunbed — all make this beach truly special.
The far end of Ses Salines beach is also a popular area for nudists. While it may seem like the perfect place to relax, keep in mind that on hot days it can get quite lively due to party parades dancing along the shore, promoting events taking place on the island and encouraging people to buy tickets.
If you’re visiting Ses Salines and have enough energy, I recommend venturing further along the beach, where you can discover beautiful coves, your own private stretch of sand, and even natural rock formations that look like works of art.
Es Cavallet
This picturesque beach is not only a peaceful and beautiful oasis but also an official spot for naturist enthusiasts. For those seeking harmony with nature, the central part of the beach, surrounded by sand dunes, is the perfect place to sunbathe without the need for a swimsuit – it is an official nudist beach. The seabed is free of rocks, making it ideal for swimming. Es Cavallet is a great, quieter alternative to the nearby and more popular Las Salinas beach.
