Set on the southwest coast of Ibiza, Cala Salada is a short drive from San Antonio, but a world away from the tacky tourist hustle. A crescent of golden sand cups the clear turquoise sea, which is perfect for swimming or snorkelling (you can hire pedalos as well). Pine trees march down to the shore, mingling their soft scent with the salt air, and the woods offer numerous paths for a cooling stroll.
This makes Cala Salada ideal if your party can’t agree on the perfect ratio between sunbathing and activities, and the adjoining chiringuito means you don’t even have to pack a lunch.
