Cala Conta has two main coves, one backed by a rugged, rocky coastline and the other by picturesque sand dunes. There is also a small nudist section. The beach boasts several welcoming bars and restaurants and offers the most spectacular views, particularly at sunset. Cala Contita is Cala Conta’s little sister beach. Just south of the beach is the famous, mythical ‘Rave Cave’, home to the Ibiza Rave in Cave parties and holistic yoga sessions. On the hill above Cala Codolar, 3km from Cala Conta, is Ibiza-Henge, a monument with 13 huge Basalt columns arranged in a semi-circle which vaguely resembles Stonehenge.
Port d’es Torrent is one of Ibiza’s hidden gems, a lovely tranquil spot and a welcome reprieve from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The sheltered bay cradles its 150m sweep of fine silvery sand and calm, Caribbean-esque glistening water. With Blue Flag status, the beach offers sunbeds and parasols, beach bars and a lovely atmosphere.
Cala Bassa is a gorgeous cove surrounded by ancient, gnarled Sabina woodland. The Cala Bassa Beach Club boasts four restaurants offering Ibizan, creative fusion, oriental and gourmet dishes, all shaded by ancient juniper trees and it has an exclusive Taittinger Lounge. DJ’s play a mix of lounge, chill-out and house music and you can soak up the sun’s rays on trendy loungers.
San Antonio is the fast-living neighbour of these special coves. San Antonio attracts a young, party crowd with its thriving sunset bars, electric nightclubs, a vast range of water activities and a contagious buzzy atmosphere. The Sunset Strip is legendary. Tourists listen to the latest summer sounds and watch the vivid sun sink whilst sipping delicious cocktails. Several super-clubs beckon the party revellers and international DJ’s.
For a real treat, you can visit the nearby Pure Seven Spa at 7Pines Kempinski Ibiza, between the beaches of Cala Conta and Cala Codolar. It is one of the island’s top spas and offers every treatment imaginable from its fantastic cliff-top location.
