Ses Selines Natural Park (Parque Natural de Ses Salines)
Ses Selinas, Majorca
Ses Salines Natural Park is made up largely of water (a whopping 75 percent of the area) and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's known for its beaches and biodiversity, as the home to 178 plant species and some 210 species of birds, including flamingos, Audouin’s gull, and Balearic shearwater.
A majority of visitors to Ses Salines come to bask in the sun on Ses Salines Beach, one of the most beautiful (and most popular) on the island. In contrast to the rest of the park, this beach is fairly developed, with lifeguards, restaurants, beach bars, and shower facilities. For an escape from the crowds, pay a visit to the Ses Portes or Sal Rossa watchtowers, take in the sunset from Cap des Falcó, or enjoy the quieter and wilder Es Cavallet Beach.
Ses Salines is a must-visit for beachgoers, bird watchers, and nature lovers.
Keep to marked paths within the park, and only swim in designated areas.
Don’t forget to bring a bathing suit, beach towel, change of clothes, and sun protection.
Ses Salines is a 10-minute drive from Ibiza Town. The easiest way to get there is to drive or take a taxi; there’s a paid parking area near the beach.
The best time to visit Ses Salines is between April and October, when temperatures are warm enough for swimming. Come between August and October to see hundreds of flamingos arriving to spend winter on the island.
Ses Salines gets its name from the salt production that’s been happening in the region for hundreds of years. The area known as Montañas de Sal has been active in the island's salt trade since Phoenician times, and continues to produce the high-quality, gourmet salt that Ibiza is known for in culinary circles.
