Cala Comte
Sant Josep de sa Talaia, Ibiza
Surrounded by sand dunes and rocky cliffs, Cala Comte ranks among Ibiza’s most spectacular (and popular) beaches. Visiting families come to swim in the calm, clear waters, while protected coves and enclaves appeal to sunbathers who prefer to go au natural. The beach is known as the best spot on the island to watch the sunset.
Cala Comte beach is situated on the western coast of Ibiza and comprises two main beaches and a smaller cove. The western side of the beach is family friendly, while the cove known as Cala Escondida tends to be swimsuit-optional. One popular way to enjoy the beach is aboard a catamaran beach-hopping tour. These full-day excursions typically stop at Cala Comte and Cala Bassa and offer plenty of opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, and sunset viewing.
Cala Comte is a must-visit for families and those looking for a safe and beautiful swimming spot.
Don’t forget to bring sun protection; there isn’t much shade at this Ibiza beach.
Beware of incoming tides; they’ve been known to wash away belongings.
Catamaran tours often include snorkeling gear.
The easiest way to get to Cala Comte is by taxi or car, but it’s also possible to catch a bus or ferry from San Antonio. These run throughout the summer season. The beach is about a 25-minute drive from Ibiza Town and a 10-minute drive from San Antonio.
Due to its western-facing orientation, the beach gets busiest in the late afternoon hours with beachgoers coming to watch the sunset. The best season to enjoy Cala Comte is between May and October, when temperatures are warm enough to swim.
The two main beach areas of Cala Comte are divided by Sunset Ashram, a restaurant perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the water. Diners come to feast on Indian and Mediterranean cuisine while taking in the spectacular sunsets. Nightly DJs lend the spot a party vibe throughout the summer.
