Size: 1km of white sand and crystal-clear waters

Activities: Sailing club and paddle surf rental

Amenities: Sunbeds, umbrellas for hire, supermarket, and restaurants

Ses Salines, a natural park since 1995, boasts an extraordinary ecosystem teeming with diverse fauna and flora. This legendary beach is a must-visit for anyone coming to Ibiza, with its historic salt bridge, once bustling with merchant boats. Anchoring here, with Formentera's silhouette in the background and its pristine blue waters, promises a memorable experience.

Adjacent to Ses Salines, you'll find a series of intimate coves that offer privacy away from the bustling crowds. Shielded from the prevailing easterly winds, anchoring in this bay is a breeze, making your stay aboard both tranquil and comfortable. The beach also features a variety of restaurants with dinghy services for convenient access.

Close to Ses Salines, lies the enchanting bay of Cap des Falcó, accessible exclusively by boat. Here, you'll be treated to breathtaking blue waters and dramatic cliffs. For land-based exploration, venture to the mountaintop to witness awe-inspiring vistas, though without the pleasure of sea access.

2. CALA JONDAL

Distance from Marina Ibiza: 35-40 minutes by motorboat

Size: 225m

Activities: Paddle surf and snorkelling

Amenities: Sunbeds, umbrellas, and masseuses

Notable Restaurants: Yemanja, Blue Marlin, Casa Jondal, Tropicana, Es Xarcu

Cala Jondal, a true blessing when other beaches are overcrowded, offers a tranquil escape. While Es Codolar beach, covered in shingle, might not be your first choice for a lazy day at the beach, its relative seclusion throughout the summer makes it appealing. Thanks to the easterly winds, the sea here remains serene, ideal for water sports like paddle boarding.

3. PORROIG

Distance from Marina Ibiza: 40 minutes by motorboat

Size: 150m

Activities: Paddle surf and snorkelling

Porroig's captivating bay is a well-kept secret, with its picturesque landscape of fishermen's houses and limited development. Ideal for boating, the bay's sheltered, calm waters create a relaxing atmosphere. There are no restaurants on the beach, making it a perfect spot for paddle surfing and snorkeling. Nearby, you'll discover Es Cucó Beach, a charming and petite sandy alcove.

If you prefer to travel by land, follow the Sant Josep de sa Talaia road to Cala Jondal, and you'll arrive at Porroig, offering equally mesmerizing vistas from terra firma.

4. ATLANTIS

Distance from Marina Ibiza: 50 minutes by motorboat

Activities: Snorkeling

Atlantis is a place like no other, not quite a beach, nor a cove, but rather a mystical and unique destination. It's aptly named "magic" due to the peculiar rock formations that have been hand-carved by humans over time. These rock incisions have created underwater holes, filled with rainwater and waves, forming stunning natural pools.

Access to Atlantis by land is challenging and time-consuming, taking approximately 45 minutes. Sturdy footwear is a must if you choose to explore this terrain on foot. Alternatively, arriving by boat is convenient, allowing you to anchor nearby and enjoy a swim in the area's enchanting waters.

5. CALA COMTE

Distance from Marina Ibiza: 1 hour and 15 minutes by motorboat

Size: 800m

Activities: Snorkeling and paddle surf

Amenities: Sunbeds, umbrellas for hire, lifeguards, bars, and restaurants

Notable Restaurants: S'Illa des Bosc, Sunset Ashram, Ses Roques

Platges de Comte, also known as Cala Conta in Spanish, is among the most picturesque coves in Ibiza, offering accessibility in every way. With stunning views of a small

island just off Ibiza's coast, breathtaking turquoise waters, and numerous areas to explore, Cala Comte is a feast for the senses.

The shallow, crystal-clear waters create a safe and serene environment, akin to a swimming pool. During the high season, the beach is immensely popular and, as a result, often crowded. However, approaching by boat offers a wonderful advantage, as the waters are typically less congested.

Cala Comte is renowned for providing some of the best sunset views on the island, whether from the shore or the decks of anchored boats. In proximity to Cala Comte, you'll find Cala Escondida, a smaller cove accessible via steps carved into the cliffs.

These pristine beach destinations, when explored by boat, unveil the true allure of Ibiza's southwestern coast. With their unique characteristics and easy accessibility from the sea, they promise an unforgettable journey into the island's natural beauty. Whether you seek adventure or relaxation, these destinations are the perfect way to experience the magic of Ibiza's coastline.
