Ibiza top Beaches
We suggest
Sol D'en Serra
Sol D'en Serra feels and looks a bit like Hawaii. It's nestled in a secluded cove, almost completely surrounded by mountains. Just past the curving, pebbly beach, there's one small mountain rising up dramatically, like a mini Diamond Head.
A few sections of golden-sand beach gently slope down to a bay with bright aqua and turquoise water. The water is gentle, as the cove is very protected, making it like a giant swimming pool.
There are a few small cafés and restaurants, along with beach chair and umbrella rentals. The area feels more like part of a private resort than a public beach. It's about 20 minutes from Ibiza Town, near the larger (and more crowded) Cala Llonga beach.
San Miguel
Close to the iconic Benirras Beach, San Miguel is more of a family resort. It's on the northern edge of the island about 30 minutes from Ibiza Town.
There's a beautiful sandy beach, nestled in a cove with cliffs on both sides, and a nice selection of boutique hotels and restaurants. It's on the north coast, away from the craziness of the southern beaches, so it's relatively quiet even in high season.
If you feel like splurging, the Hacienda Na Xamena is perched high above the turquoise bay inside a nature reserve. The five-star resort combines spectacular architecture, warm personal service, and thrilling views with luxurious accommodations.
Cala Xarraca
While Ibiza lacks any beaches with colored sand (Formentera does have one beach with pink sand), it does have beaches with some beautiful watercolors. Cala Xarraca, located on the northeastern tip of the island in San Juan, has crystal-clear water that has a beautiful green color to it.
The tiny, remote lagoon is great for snorkeling, kayaking, or just floating in the colorful water. There's also a mud bath on the left edge of the beach that gives you a self-service spa treatment you would have to pay hundreds of dollars for in one of the local luxury resorts.
The middle part of the Cala Xarraca beach has a small café, and most of the visitors congregate here. The two beach areas on either side are clothing-optional. You can rent sun loungers and umbrellas along with some water sports equipment on the beach. This beach has free parking.
