Hotels near Cala Comte (Cala Conta)

Topping any list of the best beaches in Ibiza, Cala Comte sits roughly 8 km west of Sant Antoni de Portmany on Ibiza's western flank. Four shallow stretches of pale sand fan out around low rocky points and look across to the offshore islets of S'Illa des Bosc and Sa Conillera. The water shades from clear turquoise close in to deep cobalt offshore - the visibility is among the best on the island and snorkelling around the rocks at either end of the main beach is worth bringing a mask for.

The sunsets are why most people come back. The angle of the beach means the sun drops behind the islets directly out to sea, and on a still evening the entire bay turns gold. Sunset Ashram, the chiringuito perched on the headland, gets crowded after 6 pm in July and August, so the trick is to claim sand earlier in the afternoon and order food up the hill rather than at the water.

Access by car is straightforward from Sant Antoni (15 minutes) or Ibiza Town (25 minutes). In summer, bus line L4 from Sant Antoni runs roughly every 30 to 60 minutes and drops passengers at the upper car park.

Pro Tip: Arrive before 11 am in July or August to find sun-lounger space and beat the L4 bus rush from Sant Antoni. Use the upper car park (around 10 euros in 2026 high season) rather than circling the lower one - the walk down is about five minutes either way.
