    Vacation in Ibiza The essential beaches of Santa Eulalia

    Coves and small paradises on the quiet side of Ibiza

    Although Ibiza may seem small from above (or on a map), it’s actually an island full of variety. There’s the rural Ibiza, with its charming whitewashed villages; the vibrant side, with endless nights of music and fun; and the peaceful one, perfect for those seeking to immerse themselves in the Mediterranean.
    This last one belongs to the municipality of Santa Eulalia del Río (Santa Eulària des Riu) and its coastline, located in the island’s southeast, is lined with almost-secret turquoise coves, small cliffs, and crystal-clear waters that are impossible to resist. Here are some of the most remarkable ones.

    <h2>CALA DE SANT VICENT</h2> <p>Located at the eastern end of Ibiza, this beach seems to be <strong>designed for all travelers. </strong>Peace-seekers have nearly 400 meters of sand that allow them to sunbathe without disturbances. Those who want comfort will find a <strong>fully equipped space</strong> with parking, hammocks and restaurants. And for those who simply want to enjoy water in a thousand ways, their different Paddle Surf, kayaking and skate facilities means <strong>a day at the beach becomes a fun adventure.</strong> Oh! And for those who are looking for their first dive, the different schools in the surrounding area offer baptisms in crystal clear waters full of life.</p>

    CALA DE SANT VICENT

    Located on Ibiza’s eastern tip, this beach seems made for every type of traveler. Those seeking peace will enjoy nearly 400 meters of soft sand perfect for sunbathing in calm surroundings. Visitors who prefer comfort will find a fully equipped area, including parking, sun loungers, and seaside restaurants.
    For those who simply want to enjoy the water, paddleboards, kayaks, and pedal boats are available to turn a regular beach day into an exciting adventure.
    And if you’ve ever wanted to try scuba diving, nearby diving schools offer introductory sessions in crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life.

    <h2>CALA DE S&#39;AIGUA BLANCA</h2> <p>And suddenly, when it seems that everything is cliffs in the northwestern confines of the island, the sand comes out of the rock and spreads out like a carpet caressed by an amazing sea. Because, in this wild corner of Ibiza, <strong>the sea is immaculate and photogenic,</strong> which has always made it a natural object of desire for any beach lover. In addition, the clay that collects in its rocks, mixed with water, forms a mud that serves as a tonic for both the skin and hair.</p>

    And suddenly, just when it seems that cliffs dominate the northeastern edge of the island, sand takes over the rocks, unfolding like a golden carpet caressed by impossibly clear waters. In this wild corner of Ibiza, the sea appears pristine and picture-perfect, making it a natural paradise for every beach lover.
    The clay found in the surrounding rocks, when mixed with water, creates a natural mud that serves as a revitalizing treatment for both skin and hair, offering a refreshing, wellness-infused experience by the sea.

    <h2>CALA LLONGA</h2> <p>In a way, this long sandy area is a kind of <strong>oasis between pine trees and hills. </strong>It is a inlet of a very blue sea that goes deep into the land, calmly, and ends on a comfortable and very well equipped sandy beach. It is perfect for families and groups for its peace of mind and good accessibility, but it also has areas of less crowded stone areas and where that sense of being isolated accentuates, something that in Ibiza is always a treasure.</p>

    CALA LLONGA

    In many ways, this long beach feels like a true oasis nestled between pine trees and hills. A deep-blue stretch of sea gently reaches inland, ending in a spacious beach of soft, well-maintained sand. It’s perfect for families and groups thanks to its calm atmosphere and easy access, yet it also features quieter rocky areas where that precious sense of seclusion becomes even stronger — a real treasure in Ibiza.

    <h2>ES CANAR BEACH</h2> <p>Es Canar could be defined as <strong>a mini Marbella.</strong> Within the peace that is felt in these parts, it is the most lively beach in the municipality, with numerous bars, restaurants and beach bars flanking a generous promenade.<strong> Its charming port of small boats</strong> accentuates this feeling of exclusivity while its shore is calm, not very steep and with very well-kept sand. Also, on Wednesdays, one of the most authentic <strong>hippie markets</strong> on the island takes place.</p>

    ES CANAR BEACH

    Es Canar could be described as a miniature Marbella. Despite the peaceful vibe of the area, it’s the liveliest beach in the municipality, lined with bars, restaurants, and beach clubs along a scenic promenade.
    Its charming small marina adds a touch of exclusivity, while the shoreline offers calm waters, a gentle slope, and well-maintained sand — ideal for a relaxing day by the sea.
    Nearby, every Wednesday, one of Ibiza’s most authentic hippie markets comes to life, attracting visitors looking for handmade crafts and a touch of local flair.

    <h2>CALA LLENYA</h2> <p>There are coves that seem to be made for spending the whole day with water at your waist, taking a water walk or playing beach paddle tennis while soaking. And one of them is Cala Llenya,<strong> a 60-meter wide</strong> paradise where you have to go deep into the water to be covered. This advantage has made it one of the most popular in this area, which is not at odds with keeping its unspoiled spot, with<strong> cliffs and pine groves on the flanks</strong> to look for shade before returning to the sea.</p>

    CALA LLENYA

    Some coves seem made for spending the whole day waist-deep in the water, walking, chatting, or playing paddle ball while staying cool. One of them is Cala Llenya, a small paradise about 60 meters wide, where you have to walk quite far out before the sea reaches full depth.
    This makes it one of the most popular beaches in the area, especially among families, yet it still retains its natural charm thanks to the cliffs and pine forests surrounding the cove, offering shady spots to rest before diving back in.

    <h2>CALA MASTELLA</h2> <p>What defines this wild cove is not so much its waters (unpolluted, of course) or its accessibility. It is, above all, <strong>an unspoiled environment</strong> that shows what the most natural Ibiza is like, with nice rocks that submerge with subtlety, <strong>pines that seem to appear to find their reflection in the water</strong> and a reed bed that separates the stream from the sandbank. Its remote character can also be seen in its only beach bar, el Bigotes, one of the most mythical and authentic of the whole archipelago.</p>

    CALA MASTELLA

    What truly defines this wild cove is not just its pristine waters or its secluded access, but its untouched natural surroundings, showcasing the most authentic side of Ibiza. Smooth rocks gently dip into the sea, while pine trees lean over to see their reflection in the water, and a reed bed separates the stream from the sandy shore.
    Its remote character is also reflected in its only beach bar — El Bigotes, one of the island’s most legendary and authentic spots, renowned for its traditional seafood dishes and laid-back charm.

    <h2>PLAYA DE S&#39;ARGAMASSA</h2> <p><strong>Off this coast is only vastness.</strong> And, on the clearest days, you can see Formentera behind the islets of Santa Eulalia and Rodona. Despite being in the most prestigious hotel area of this town, <strong>S&#39;Argamassa retains its unspoiled charm</strong>, with pine trees behind it and sand that seems to be freshly laid. Here the days pass between soaking, hours of sunshine and <strong>small tributes in<em> </em>SeaSoul Santa Eulalia,</strong> a unique space from which to enjoy a stunning maritime landscape, a gastronomic menu and drinks at the standard of the best restaurants on the island.<br /> &nbsp;</p>

    S’ARGAMASSA BEACH

    Before this coastline lies only the vastness of the sea. On clear days, you can even spot Formentera beyond the small islets of Santa Eulalia and Rodona. Despite being in one of the most prestigious hotel areas of the region —home to the elegant Iberostar Selection Santa Eulalia Ibiza—, S’Argamassa still retains its untouched charm, framed by pine trees and soft sand that looks freshly laid.
    Here, days unfold between refreshing swims, hours of sunshine, and culinary indulgence at SeaSoul Santa Eulalia, a unique spot offering breathtaking sea views along with a refined food and drink selection that rivals Ibiza’s finest restaurants.

    <h2>CALA NOVA</h2> <p>A small gap that is bridged by means of practical and <strong>photogenic wooden steps</strong>, separates this long sandy area from the rest of the island. A geographical barrier that is not physical, but that adds more charm to a beach that has everything: <strong>turquoise waters</strong>, green pines and a certain spaciousness that allows you to feel comfortable. Also, when the wind blows, it usually generates a few waves that add <strong>a more fun touch to the long soaks. </strong></p>

    CALA NOVA

    A small drop, connected by picturesque wooden steps, separates this long stretch of sand from the rest of the island. This subtle natural barrier adds even more charm to a beach that truly has it all: turquoise waters, green pines, and plenty of space to relax comfortably.
    When the wind picks up, it often brings gentle, surfable waves, giving the calm atmosphere of Cala Nova a playful and adventurous twist.
