About Cala Bassa

Cala Bassa is one of Ibiza's most loved beaches โ€” a beautiful sheltered bay on the west coast where pine trees come right down to the shoreline and the water shimmers in vivid turquoise. Protected from the prevailing wind by a headland, the bay offers consistently gentle, shallow water that makes it ideal for families and young children.

The beach is home to the Cala Bassa Beach Club, one of Ibiza's most popular beach clubs, which offers sun loungers, a restaurant serving fresh Mediterranean food, and a lively but relaxed atmosphere. Despite the amenities, the beach retains a natural feel thanks to the surrounding pine forest.

Boat trips run regularly from Sant Antoni to Cala Bassa throughout the summer โ€” arriving by boat is a particularly scenic way to experience the bay. Stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking in the calm, clear water are popular activities.
