Discover Ibiza’s hidden beaches: secret spots off the beaten path
Think you’ve seen everything in Ibiza? Think again. There are still places so under the radar even Google Maps gets confused. If you’re the kind of traveller who escapes the noise and prefers cinematic landscapes over crowded beach clubs, this one’s for you.
Explore Ibiza’s secret beaches: hidden paradise awaits
Cala Llentrisca: serenity and crystal-clear waters
This is the kind of beach locals only whisper about, and always with a “don’t tell anyone” disclaimer. Getting there involves a decent walk through pine trails, but every step is worth it: a nearly untouched cove with no bars, no crowds, just turquoise water and complete silence.
Perfect for escaping the buzz and connecting with nature
No phone signal here (seriously). Switch off, take a dip in some of the cleanest waters on the island and let your brain breathe. This is your personal reset button.
Es Portitxol: a magical cove between cliffs
Getting to Es Portitxol is an adventure in itself: winding roads, dusty paths, steep descents… and then…boom! A postcard-worthy cove surrounded by mountains and traditional fisherman huts that feel straight out of a vintage photo album.
Ideal for a chill day and epic snorkelling
Clear waters, rocky seabeds (bring those water shoes!) and zero party boats. If you’re into snorkelling, you’ll love it here. Bring comfy shoes and plenty of water, the uphill hike back under the sun hits different.
Cala Mastella: boho charm with a seaside flavour
Cala Mastella is slowly gaining traction on social media, but it’s still beautifully preserved. Calm waters and the iconic El Bigotes seafood shack make it a must for those seeking authenticity and a front-row seat to the sea. (Heads up: you might need to book well in advance!)
Perfect for a slow, sun-kissed day
Get there early. It’s easy to access, but space is limited. The day drifts by in a rhythm of long swims, shady naps and the smoky aroma from the open-fire kitchen.
Atlantis (Sa Pedrera): Ibiza’s worst-kept secret
Tough to reach, unforgettable once you do. These ancient stone quarries, once used to build Ibiza’s Old Town, have been sculpted by wind and waves into surreal shapes and natural pools. Get there early if you want the place to yourself, space is tight and curiosity runs high.
A must for adventurers and Insta-worthy shots
Heads-up: the descent is steep, tricky, and fully exposed to the sun. There are no facilities or shade. But with the right prep, it’s one of the island’s most jaw-dropping corners.
Tips for exploring hidden coves without burning out
- Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes, most paths are rocky. For swimming, water shoes are your best friend.
- Bring water, snacks and a hat, there are no beach bars out here.
- Use apps like Wikiloc or AllTrails to stay on track.
- Be respectful: take your rubbish with you, don’t light fires, and protect the local wildlife.
