Cala Comte: turquoise waters and iconic views

Cala Comte is one of the most famous coves in Ibiza thanks to its turquoise waters and breathtaking views over small islands. It is a must-see location for any boat trip around the island.

Arriving by boat allows you to anchor away from the busiest areas and enjoy a much more exclusive and relaxed experience. It is also one of the best places to swim, snorkel or simply relax on board.

Cala Bassa: the perfect mix of relaxation and atmosphere

Cala Bassa is known for its calm waters, soft sand and lively beach clubs. It is ideal for spending several hours during a boat trip, combining relaxation with a vibrant Ibiza atmosphere.

This cove is often included in a day charter in Ibiza , making it a perfect stop for swimming, dining or enjoying a drink by the sea.

Cala Salada & Cala Saladeta: untouched nature

Cala Salada and its smaller neighbor Cala Saladeta are among the most beautiful natural spots on the island. Surrounded by pine forests and cliffs, they offer incredibly clear waters and a more authentic Ibiza experience.

Access by land can be limited and crowded, especially in summer, so arriving by boat is by far the best option to enjoy these coves comfortably and at your own pace.

Atlantis (Sa Pedrera): a unique hidden gem

Atlantis, also known as Sa Pedrera, is one of Ibiza’s most unique and mysterious locations. Its carved rock formations, natural pools and dramatic landscape make it unlike any other place on the island.

Reaching Atlantis by foot can be difficult, but by boat it becomes a much more accessible and enjoyable destination. It is a perfect stop for adventurous travelers looking for something different.

Cala d’Hort: views of Es Vedrà

Cala d’Hort offers one of the most iconic views in Ibiza: the legendary islet of Es Vedrà rising from the sea. It is one of the most photographed and magical places on the island.

Visiting this area by boat allows you to enjoy the scenery from the best possible perspective, especially during sunset, when the light creates a truly unforgettable atmosphere.
