If quiet, peaceful beaches with tranquil waters and no crowds is your idea of heaven, then Cala Saladeta is the spot for you. Located just along the shore from San Antonio, you will find two beautiful beaches. Cala Salada is the first one you will come across, and while quieter than many beaches in the area, it can still become crowded. For a real hidden gem, you want to keep heading along to Cala Saladeta.
Both beaches can only be reached by car or minibus from San Antonio. When you reach the entrance to Cala Salada, you might be tempted to lay out your towel and enjoy a day on the stunning beach. However, if you continue your journey a little longer you will be greeted with the wonderful Cala Saladeta. From the entrance Cala Salada, go down through the pine tree forest and over the rocks, where you will find the secluded Cala Saladeta.
The tranquil beach features crystal-clear waters, perfect for refreshing and cooling down after walking to the heavenly spot. Glistening white sands are ideal for spending the day sunbathing and taking in the quiet surroundings of this peaceful beach. Cala Saladeta is such a tourist-free location in Ibiza, that it doesn’t have any amenities, so make sure to plan ahead. Pack a picnic and water to enjoy as you chill out, don’t forget sun cream and an umbrella to protect yourself from the strong Ibiza sun. There is a restaurant back at Cala Salada, so you can head back for a spot of lunch if you wish.
Cala Salada is about four kilometres from Sant Antoni de Portmany, located between Sa Foradada and Cala Llosar and is next to the village of Sa Galera.
We recommend visiting Cala Saladeta later in the day. The trek to the secluded beach can take some time and avoiding the hottest part of the day is your best option. Not only that, but because Cala Saladeta is situated on the west of the island, the evenings are longer. The sunset is spectacular from this tranquil beach, so definitely plan to stick around to watch it. Just remember to check the minibus times if you are not driving to Cala Salada yourself, as they sometimes stop running at 8.30pm.
