Ibiza, that Mediterranean island that is so much talked about in summer. Surely you have an acquaintance who has already visited the White Island and has told you: “I have seen the best beaches in the world”. And he didn’t have to travel thousands of miles to reach the Caribbean or the Maldives. No. You only had to go to Ibiza to see for yourself.<\/p>

With more than 200 kilometers of coastline<\/strong>, Ibiza’s coves<\/strong><\/a> and beaches are postcard-worthy photographs. More than 3,000,000 tourists have decided that their vacations in 2023 will feature this island.<\/p>

If you also want to be part of the tourists that this year, or next year, will come to Ibiza, take note. In this article we will visit each point of the island in search of the best coves.<\/strong> Those with crystal clear waters where you can take a dip in the hottest days of the year.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Here is a guide to the best coves in Ibiza, divided by areas, so you can plan your visit <\/strong> and make the most of your stay. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Coves in the North of Ibiza<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t

Our first stop on this free tour<\/em> of the most beautiful coves of Ibiza will be the north of the island. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We are only a 10 minute drive from San Miguel. This cove has different services<\/strong>: hammocks, umbrellas and a lot of bars and restaurants to have a drink after sunbathing and swimming. <\/p>\n

In summer you can see a small hippy market<\/strong>, very typical of Ibiza. It is open every day except Wednesdays and Thursdays from late morning until late afternoon. <\/p>\n

Its crystal clear waters are perfect to see the seabed while snorkeling. But watch out! The bottom is rocky. Don’t leave this cove until you see one of the most beautiful sunsets<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We are now a 5 minute drive from the village of San Juan or the town of Portinatx. We are in Cala Xarraca, a small paradise 90 meters long and 15 meters<\/strong> wide. <\/p>\n

Surely you have already seen it in pictures, as it is one of the most photographed coves<\/strong> of Ibiza, being surrounded by an Ibizan stamp: pine trees dotted with white houses. <\/p>\n

In front of the beach there is a rock. If you are brave you can jump into the water before checking the depth!<\/p>\n

And, if you are hungry, you can stop at the restaurant to try typical Ibiza food while enjoying spectacular views. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Now we have not moved much, since we are in the same town of Portinatx. This small cove is isolated and little known<\/strong>, so it is perfect if you are looking for a place to relax away from the hustle and bustle of the city. <\/p>\n

The area is very popular for hiking.<\/strong> A well-marked path runs along the coast and leads to the emblematic Moscarter lighthouse, painted in blue and white, which is the highest in the Balearic Islands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Only 15 minutes by car from San Antonio<\/strong>, Cala Conta needs no introduction. I’m sure it was already on your itinerary before reading this article. <\/span><\/p>\n

But, if this is not the case, you should know that its 800 meters long are between turquoise blue waters<\/strong> that will make you feel in the Caribbean. It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful beaches on the island.<\/p>\n

If you go in high season<\/strong>, you should know that it is one of the busiest. So go early, early in the morning, to secure your place. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Surrounded by a dense pine fores<\/strong>t, Cala Bassa is a beach of fine sand and transparent waters that offers various leisure options, such as restaurants and beach bars.<\/p>\n

This cove has wooden walkways <\/strong> to facilitate access for people with reduced mobility or baby strollers. <\/p>\n

It is another of the most important coves of Ibiza, so you should go early<\/strong> if you want to get a spot. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A 10-minute drive from San Carlos, we find this small cove of 190 meters long<\/strong> and 60 meters wide. <\/span><\/p>\n

Its wide curve of fine white sand<\/strong> makes it perfect for sunbathing. It is surrounded by pine trees, providing a quiet and isolated environment.<\/p>\n

If you want to do nudism<\/strong>, to the left of this cove, where there is a strip of sand without sun loungers, it is a perfect place. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If you are in Es Can\u00e1, this cove is on your way. Cala Nova is a wide, long and curved sandy<\/strong> beach. Its shallow waters extend considerably out to sea.<\/p>\n

Its crystal clear waters are perfect for snorkeling and, if you are lucky and there is a little wind, you can surf <\/strong> among the waves. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To the south of the well-known village of Es Can\u00e1, on the road that leads to the Hippy Market of Es Canar<\/strong>, is Cala Martina. <\/p>\n

This paradise is ideal for the whole family<\/strong>, as its waters are shallow and the absence of currents and waves is noticeable. <\/p>\n

There are several restaurants and bars <\/strong> along the beach. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
