It is called the white island, and yet... on the beaches of Ibiza, we find all the colours of paradise: fine white sand, ochre cliffs painted with terracotta, and the sea, at last. Sometimes emerald green, sometimes lagoon blue or turquoise, it is everywhere.
If you're not too sure of places to go and things to do in Ibiza, dive in with us and discover the 10 most beautiful beaches of Ibiza, from the silent coves of the north to the frantic rhythms of Las Salinas, in the south of the island.

cala d'en serra
Aquatic life
Scuba diving and snorkelling enthusiasts will meet in the north of the island, on the small beach of Calo d'En Serra. This narrow cove lined with fishermen's huts is often deserted because of its slippery seabed. But once past the posidonia dam, it is a real Atlantis. Tiny colourful fish, crustaceans and silky algae: experience a face-to-face encounter with Ibiza's aquatic life.
platja xarraca
The enchanting decor
You may not believe your eyes, but the cove of Platja Xarraca is very real. The emerald-coloured water has dug into the rock, making it a flamboyant red. It is one of the most luxurious holiday destinations, located in the northwest of Ibiza. This wild beach seems to have been abandoned by tourists. Put on your explorer's outfit - mask, snorkel, flippers - and set off to discover the sea floor covered with aquatic grasses.
aigues blanques
The white water beach
Aigues Blanques owes its name to its translucent blue sea that stretches to the horizon. We come here as a family, to bask in the sun while the children splash around in the shallow water. A piece of advice: arm yourself with sunscreen and a good novel, because once you put your towel on your comfortable sun lounger, you will never want to leave this Ibiza beach again.
pou des lleo
The fisherman's landmark
Straw umbrellas, fishermen's huts and straw huts that smell like grilled fish: welcome to one of Ibiza's most picturesque beaches, En Marti, also known as "Pou des Lleo" for those in the know. Come there from 10 am, sandals on your feet, to surprise the fish and crabs that populate its rocks. At lunch time, settle down in the shade of a fisherman's hut to share a plate of fried squid with a glass of fresh sangria.
cala benirras
In the path of hippies
A setting of the hippie legends, Cala Benirras has kept its bohemian spirit. Every night, nostalgic people gather there to watch the sunset, sitting on the rocks. The percussions accompany the rays of the sun in its slow waltz, until it disappears completely on the other side of the sea. Then its light is replaced by that of the campfires, which are found everywhere on the beach of Ibiza.
cala conta
Journey to the centre of the sea
This beach, which consists of three sandbanks separated by rocks, could occupy three spots in our list of the top 10 of the most beautiful beaches in Ibiza. Rent a pedal boat or an XXL paddle boat, and take your tribe to the islet in the middle of the lagoon. Back on the beach, the older ones will lie down in the shade of a parasol, while the younger ones will explore the rocks populated by sea creatures.
cala pada
In the shade of the pines
On your luxury beach holidays in Ibiza, do not miss the beach of Cala Pada, near Santa Eulalia. Little frequented and easy to access, one comes to take shelter in the shade of the pines, between two swims in the calm waters of the Mediterranean. Lunch at Spanish time in one of the restaurants on this discreet beach in Ibiza and take advantage of the opportunity to let your children taste the culinary specialties of the region.
Cala Salada
For insiders only
It's a well-kept secret, an address known only to locals and regulars, and our favorite beach, located just outside San Antonio. Only accessible on foot, along the cliffs lined with pine trees, or by boat, it is less crowded than its neighbours. Anchor in the cove, where the intense blue of the Mediterranean Sea gives way to the crystalline turquoise waters, or go down the stone stairs that lead to the golden sand.
CalA d’Hort
Under the sun
In Cala d'Hort, there is the sky, the sun, and the sea... From the first light of day, the sun's rays hit the immaculate cliffs. Lie down on the stone and let yourself warm on contact with it. The days on the beach of Cala d'Hort are often scorching. You come early, before the sun is at its zenith, or in the late afternoon, for golden hour, when the islands of Es Vedra and Es Vedranella are adorned with champagne reflections.
Las Salinas
The essential spot
Our luxury Spain holidays cannot be concluded without passing by the beach of Las Salinas. Located in the very south of the island, facing Formentera, this long sandy beach is the embodiment of the spirit of Ibiza. On one side, the atmosphere is overwhelming, the ice cubes tinkle in the glasses as house music escapes from the DJ booths in the cool beach bars; on the other side, there is an Olympian calm in the small creeks, carved in the rocks. Between the Ibiza of the night and the Ibiza that is raw and untouched, our hearts fall for both.
