Cala Llonga and ‘family friendly’ go hand in hand. The resort in the east of the island has modelled itself as one of the most welcoming places for families and children you can find. IT has beach activities for toddlers through to teens, restaurants with impressive children’s choices on the menu and the peace of mind that comes with shallow waters for a cooling paddle. The town has most of the amenities families often find themselves needing abroad, from a supermarket to a pharmacy and, of course, shops selling inflatables and other stuff to keep the kids busy on the beach. There are also plenty of places to stay, from budget accommodation through to adult-only spots for more romantic gateways.

Many have likened the elegant walled entrance that leads you into Cala Llonga to that of a serene members’ club, but in fact it houses the bustling family resort. And if you feel like something a bit fancier, then Ibiza Old Town is just a 10-minute walk away and offers a chance for fine dining.

The bay is sheltered from all sides and has shallow water for quite a stretch, so it’s ideal for families who want to pitch up for the afternoon and enjoy some quality time together. If you feel like getting the adrenaline pumping then try parasailing, scuba-diving or any of the other water sports on offer at parts of the beach.

Cala Llonga is just a short drive from Ibiza’s only golf club, Roca Lisa, and if you fancy a trip to something a bit different then the Casa Piedra is an old farmhouse that offers a unique dining experience.

From families to couples, Cala Llonga has plenty going on to keep tourists of all ages occupied and entertained for the duration of their stay.
