Although it’s a relatively small bay, first impressions are monumental. Cala d’en Serra is one of those special Ibiza locations that once discovered, is never forgotten. Facing east, the oval-shaped beach is surrounded by stunning high cliffs, fine blue water and golden sand. There’s an opening between the cliffs in the middle of the sea, where you can catch a glimpse of what appears to be the end of the world on the horizon.

Location: On Ibiza’s north coast, just beyond Portinatx.

Who goes there: Cala d’en Serra is much loved and lauded by Ibiza’s long-time locals… doesn’t that say it all?

When to go: Escape to Cala d’en Serra on the weekends, when other Ibiza beaches are overpopulated and noisy. Peace, tranquility and total relaxation awaits…
