Thanks to this place's location in a sandy bay just south of San Antonio, holidays to Cala Tarida offer sun-soaked days on the beach, as well as easy-reach days and nights out.
Quiet west-coast town
Cala Tarida curls around a bay on the west coast of Ibiza. Behind it are rolling hills coated in greenery, while in front are some of the best sunsets on the island. It’s in peaceful surroundings, although lively San Antonio is only a short drive away if you fancy upping the tempo.
Cala Tarida Beach
Cala Tarida’s floury white sands unravel for 270 metres, punctuated by rocky outcrops that are great for diving off and snorkelling round. The waters here are calm, shallow and family-friendly, and there's a clutch of sand-side bars serving lunches and ice-creams.
Daytrips
A 15-minute bus ride will land you in San Antonio’s main square. Head to the West End for shops, restaurants and discos, or wander down to the Sunset Strip, where laid-back beach bars boast front-row views for sunset. Alternatively, you can drive 35 minutes to the capital, Ibiza Town, where you’ll find a walled old town and a 14th-century cathedral.

WHEN TO GO
The climate in Spain is typical of the Mediterranean region. On the mainland, the spring and autumn months are normally mild. And things start to heat up in the summer, when the mercury regularly reaches into the high 20s and there’s plenty of sunshine. The Balearic Islands feature hot summers, as well, beginning in May, when temperatures climb into the mid-20s, and peaking in July and August with highs topping 30°C. To the south, the Canary Islands – also known as the ‘Islands of Eternal Spring’ – have mild, sub-tropical weather, with temperatures rarely dipping below 20°C in winter and 25°C in summer. As far as rainfall goes, the western islands see the most showers. However, during the summer it hardly rains at all.
