Sa Caleta, Ibiza Beaches, Spain

To the east of Cala Jondal and reached by unsurfaced road, with a sign to Restaurant Sa Caleta. Absolutely beautiful sandy beach with very shallow water, making it ideal for families and younger children. Very popular with the locals at the weekend, it can get very full.


The beach itself was made by cutting through the rocks a few years ago, making for some stunning, rugged coastline. The quality of the furniture is impressive and their 'aquarium' remains available to diners throughout the winter, guaranteeing a regular flow of local businessmen.

 This despite the fact that there is no population centre within miles of this almost unspoilt locality. People are prepared to travel to enjoy lunch at the Caleta restaurants, beside the beautiful beach which, according to the maps, is called 'Playa Es Bol Nou'. However, the only signposts refer to it as Sa'Caleta, which is actually the name of the beach restaurant - so follow those.

In between the airport and Cala Jondal, this beach is found by following the road from the airport towards San José. After one kilometer there is a left turning signposted Cala Jondal, follow this road for about four kilometers to the signposted left turning.

The beach at is ideal for families, and there are plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas for those who choose to spend all day sunbathing.

Pedaloes are available for those wishing to explore the stretch of coast at Caleta, and the neighbouring resort of Cala Santandria offers scuba-diving. With just a small choice of bars and restaurants,this beach offers an extremely relaxed pace of life.
