Ibiza is part of the Balearic Islands, one of Spain’s most precious tourism gems. Though its international fame is synonymous with vibrant parties and popular DJs, the island surprises anyone who visits with a series of beaches and coves where nature has left no room for mistakes.
There are over 180 beaches in Ibiza, so no matter where you are on the island, you’ll find at least one nearby. Given their sheer number, a guide to the best beaches in Ibiza is more than necessary. Below, you’ll find the top beaches, along with their locations and some useful details.

If you want to catch the sunset there, it’s recommended to book a table in advance due to its popularity.

3. Cala Salada
Cala Salada is one of my favorites, and I recommend not missing it if you visit Ibiza. It’s just 4.5 km from San Antonio, and nearby, separated by a few rocks, is Cala Saladita, with a small but equally beautiful beach.
How to Get to Cala Salada?
If you plan to go to Cala Salada by car, note that from May to October, the access road is closed to cars from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Only scooters, taxis, and those with reservations at the local restaurant are allowed. The simplest way is to take the ALSA Line 34 bus, which takes about 20 minutes from San Antonio to Cala Salada.
4. Cala d’Hort
Though not one of the most easily accessible coves due to the lack of public transport, Cala d’Hort is definitely one of the most visited beaches in Ibiza. Tourists are drawn here by the enchanting view of Es Vedrà island from the beach.
How to Get to Cala d’Hort?
Cala d’Hort is a 30-minute drive from either San Antonio or Ibiza Town. Unfortunately, there is no bus or ferry service to Cala d’Hort. Since everyone drives here, finding a parking spot can be challenging, so it’s essential to arrive early.
5. Cala Moli
Cala Moli is another beach worth mentioning when talking about Ibiza. It’s a small beach, about 70 meters long, with two neighboring beaches equally rich in breathtaking scenery: Cala Tarida to the north and Cala Vadella to the south.

Ses Figueres, or Figueretas, is the most accessible beach from Ibiza Town, being the main beach in the city. For this reason, Ses Figueres doesn’t offer the wild landscape found in most coves in Ibiza and Spain, but the promenade area next to the beach is ideal for a sunrise or sunset walk.

The distance between Ibiza Town and Es Cavallet is 9 km, and the easiest way to get there is by car. However, finding parking can be challenging, so patience is essential. Alternatively, you can take the L11 bus, which drops you about a 20-minute walk from the beach.
