A paradise of coves: the best options for anchoring in Ibiza and Formentera

Oh! The Mediterranean Sea and its beautiful coves! As a lover of boats and the sea, we can say without a doubt that the Balearic Islands, specifically Ibiza and Formentera, are a true paradise for those looking for the perfect place to anchor and enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds these islands.

Below, we present a selection of the best coves and anchoring areas in Ibiza and Formentera, where you can enjoy crystal clear waters, tranquility and unforgettable landscapes with Quicksail boats:

Ibiza

“Cala Conta” and “Cala Bassa”:

Near the port of San Antonio, “Cala Conta” and “Cala Bassa” are the first two points to visit.

Located on the west coast of Ibiza, “Cala Bassa” is a hidden treasure that captivates all who visit it. Its turquoise waters and golden sand are simply spectacular. In addition, it is an excellent option to anchor and enjoy a day of relaxation in its crystalline waters. Do not forget to explore the surroundings, where you will find restaurants and bars with impressive views.

“Cala Conta” is a small beach that offers a heavenly setting for your best Instagram photos: a small islet is separated from the beach by shallow, warm turquoise waters, and some nearby coves if you want to be more calm.

“Cala Jondal” and “Es Vedrá”:

Located on the south coast of Ibiza, “Cala Jondal” is known for being one of the most exclusive coves on the island. Its crystalline waters and its calm environment make it an ideal place to anchor and relax. “Cala Jondal” is also famous for its beach bars and luxury beach clubs, where you can enjoy delicious food or cocktails in front of the sea. Be sure to explore the surroundings, as the cove is surrounded by beautiful cliffs and exuberant nature.

When traveling to “Cala Jondal” by boat, you have to pass by the famous islet of “Es Vedrá”, just to the west of Ibiza. What is he famous for? Among the many legends that are told in Ibiza, many surround the rock of Es Vedra and its supposed magnetism among the strongest in the world with the Egyptian pyramids. A mythical place with a mysterious atmosphere.

“Cala Jondal” offers an anchoring option between the bay and the “Cala Porroig”. We recommend the Blue Marlin Ibiza, a restaurant with a lot of atmosphere and with views of your boat.

Formentera:

With a long history, the island of Formentera is only 17 km long but offers many cultural places such as the “Cuevas de los Jerónimos” or the Natural Park of “Las Salines”. In addition to its beaches and places to visit, different activities such as rowing, diving or hiking will allow you to enjoy the island.

Espalmador :

Not far from Ibiza and close to Formentera, the island of Espalmador offers an idyllic setting. This small, 137-hectare private island is home to a villa and the island’s caretaker’s house, but the roads and shoreline are public property, so you can go ashore. This island offers an anchorage in a cove with crystalline waters and protected from the waves.

Here there are no bars or restaurants, just peace and quiet and nature preserved from human construction. This island has nothing to envy to the landscapes of the Caribbean and fans of diving will be able to appreciate the largest oceanic meadow in the Mediterranean, classified as world heritage.

The fauna and flora have also developed on this small piece of land, with rare and protected birds and more than 260 species of flora. A corner of paradise that must be preserved.

Es Pujols :

On the east coast of the island, “Es Pujols” beach is one of the beaches where Quicksail charters drop anchor in front of one of the bars for an aperitif in the sun.

Es Caló:

Without a doubt, our favourite. Small coves only accessible by boat and a selection of restaurants to enjoy fresh fish caught by local fishermen. An authentic and indescribable paradise. of which we are not going to put any photo, because you have to see it!

You know, don’t think about it and book now your boat from Valencia with Quicksail or rent a boat directly in Ibiza or Formentera with Quicksail Agency.
