Forming part of the Balearic Islands, around 100 miles off the eastern coast of Spain, Ibiza offers photogenic beaches, charming villages and laid-back vibes. San Antonio on the island’s west coast is known for its big-name nightclubs and buzzing beach bars, but Ibiza has much to offer beyond its legendary party scene. It’s a great destination for water sports, and there are plenty of options for families and couples seeking a serene beach escape.
Picture-perfect beaches
Ibiza’s sensational beaches are the perfect setting to enjoy the island’s guaranteed summer sun. Choose from secluded, craggy coves or long stretches of soft, golden sand. There are lots of tranquil, family-friendly beaches, some with calm waters perfect for paddling and others offering a wide range of water sports. Las Salinas is a popular choice for party-seekers; a short drive from Ibiza Town, the crescent-shaped beach is lined with a string of upscale bars and restaurants.

Meanwhile, nearby San Antonio Bay offers some of Ibiza’s best water-based activities and is a great location to enjoy the island’s glorious sunsets. In the north, the beautifully rugged bay of Cala Xarraca is perfect for snorkelling and also has a natural mud bath.
Inland you’ll find traditional whitewashed villages, pine-clad countryside, and beautiful farmland.
