Ibiza is best known as a party hot-spot with some of the most fashionable and expensive night clubs in the world as well as a whole host of events, festivals, and more throughout the year. However, in recent years, the local government have been trying to reiterate that it is not merely a destination for those looking to party but also has plenty of other traits that can make it appealing to families, couples, and other travellers. In particular, the island’s incredible breathtaking natural beauty is a massive selling point. Nestled in the stunning Balearic Islands of Spain, Ibiza boasts a truly awe-inspiring 200km long coastline with 80 different picture-perfect beaches and hidden bays lapped by perfectly clear, bluer than blue waters. For the water babies and beach-lovers of the world, it really is an ideal place to vacation and with the range of different types of beaches on offer, there is something for everyone who finds a villa in the Balearic Islands and spends time exploring Ibiza.
So, here is our guide to the things that make the beaches of Ibiza extra-special and that should make you want to book one of our amazing vacation rentals in the Balearic Islands ASAP to come experience it for yourself...
1. Crystal-Clear Waters
The incredible clarity and richness of the azure waters of Ibiza is truly mesmerising. Ideal for cooling off during the heat in the height of the summer, these crystal-clear waters make swimming, snorkelling, and simply hanging out on the beach a truly magical experience.
2. Endless Choices Of Beaches
There are a variety of types of beaches in Ibiza, as we have noted, each with their own unique charms. From golden sandy stretches to pebble shores, celebrity-laden hot-spots to hidden gems, family-friendly to remote and peaceful enclaves, there really is something for everyone. As we have noted, there are 80 different beaches on the island but some highlights include: Cala Jondal with its regular sprinkling of famous stars, the hippie haven that is Benirras Beach, and Cala Carbó with its relaxed atmosphere.
3. There Are Even Beaches That Rarely Get Overcrowded
If you’re on holiday in the Balearic Islands in the middle of the summer, or spending time along any coastline around the world during the hotter months, it is often simply a given that you will have to deal with crowds. However, Ibiza has some perfect options for those who are after peace and quiet, in particular, and places that rarely become overly busy. Take Cala Olivera, for example, a stunning little golden bay near the gated community of Roca Llisa that is almost always pretty calm. You will need a car to get there and it is a little out of the way but it is totally worth it.
4. Stunning Scenery
Ibiza's coastline is a beautiful mixture of craggy cliffs, lush greenery, and perfectly blue sea. Walks along the shore or longer hikes along the coastline will take your breath away as you admire the raw and rugged beauty of this magical part of the world. And, once you’ve worked up a sweat, you can dive into those refreshing waters to cool off – sounds like a pretty dreamy outing while on vacation in the Balearic Islands to us!

For the thrill seekers, Ibiza’s coastline also offers an array of activities and possible adventures from jet-skiing to parasailing to paddle-boarding. Or for more relaxed pursuits that allow you to take in the beauty of the region, there are options like snorkelling and boat excursions.
