Stylish and modern 3 bedroom villa on the south coast

Cala Tarida Road. A traditional Ibicencan restaurant serving up the quintessential bullit de peix fish dish. Locals stream in on Sundays so get ready for a long Spanish lunch that will continue way into the afternoon.  Don’t panic, they have a very nice large selection of wines to keep you going. The pulpo a la Gallega is excellent. 

Salinas Beach. NoHo Beach Club aims to offer a calmer, more polished alternative to the high-octane energy that defines much of the more crowded beach clubs, and succeeds. Set on the lovely sands of Salinas Beach, it’s a great choice for those who want relaxed beachfront dining in Salinas. Make sure to book your sunbed in advance, it really makes a difference, and they tend to get snapped up quickly.

Salinas Beach. In 2018 Beso Beach Ibiza opened its doors on Salinas Beach. Charming restaurant with a laid back atmosphere, nice music and probably situ-ated on the best spot of the Salinas bay. Great access to the beach and amazing views during daytime and sunset. Excellent selection of Mediterranean dishes. If you want to have a sunbed, book in advance.

A scenic drive through Ses Salinas salt flats and you will arrive at the Es Cavallet, Ibiza’s first official nudist beach. It remains a big draw for both an international jet set crowd at the North end and a largely gay and LGBT crowd at the South end.

Aside from a stylish party vibe emanating from its chiringuitos, the beach rests in the Ses Salines natural park and is totally virgin, wild and beautiful. With it’s light-coloured sand, dense dunes, regular winds and often choppy waters, it is a great place for a hike or a windsurf. Parking is limited especially around lunchtime and dinnertime. The beach is great for sun-bathing but the waters are often a bit too rough for kids to swim. Walking south the beach becomes even more beautiful and the water calmer but there is a more ‘open’ atmosphere in the busy months at the south end at Chiringay beach club, which, if not your scene, you might well want to miss out on.

One of Ibiza’s longest and most famous beaches, las Salinas is also one of the closest beaches to the airport in the event you want to go straight there. The beach runs along the Parc Natural Ses Salinas d’Eivissa, a nature reserve lined with pine forest and pristine white sand dunes. The clear waters and copious amounts of seaweed (regularly cleaned in summertime) make swimming at this beach like a kind of natural spa experience.

Several chiringuitos line the beach spinning glitzy tunes in the summer months. This beach attracts a diverse crowd, jet set, hippy, families, nudists, everyone is there at some point during the summer. Enjoy some of the best food for all the family at Jockey Club, one of the original Ibiza beach clubs and still delivering after 30 years (+34 971 395 788, www.jockeyclubibiza.com).

One of the most stunning parts of the beach can be found when you walk to the far left-hand side past the sandy bit and onto the rocky path. As you walk towards the watchtower (Torre de ses Portes) you will discover a series of mini coves, like private little beaches (quickly snatched and closely guarded as such by eager sunbathers). Interesting rock formations can be seen interspersed among the coastal stones, carved into unique forms such as a dragon wearing a Mayan-style headdress. This stretch is also home to many nudists in the busy summer months.

Tip: The afternoons are busiest at this beach so the early risers are more likely to get a spot both in the various car parks and on the beach.

Attracting more of an exclusive crowd thanks to its well-known beach bars and restaurants. This crescent shaped bay provides for a most spectacular view and is a great sunset spot (although you only see the sun disappear into the water, as opposed to behind the hills, in mid winter).

An extremely lively shore where there is always entertainment to be had either from the beach side or from the private yachts bobbing on anchor in the bay. large smooth rounded stones provide a dividing belt between the white sand of the beach clubs sun-beds and the clear water. Once you are in the water and out swimming it’s truly lovely but getting there can be a bit tricky as the stones make an uncomfortable entrance.

The beach clubs normally have simple wooden jetties to make access much easier but because of this and the more adult focused restaurants we don’t rank Cala Jondal as particularly kid friendly. For a long lunch drifting into off-the-beach cocktails, music and fun, however it is a great spot.
