Cala Tarida is one of the most remarkable beaches of the islands, to which we often visit with our boat hire in Ibiza and Formentera.
Our exhilarating boat rental in Ibiza either begins in San Antonio (or from the South of Ibiza island depending on the water conditions). Sailing past Cala Bassa and Cala Conta, we will continue between Isla del Bosque and Isla Conejera, where we will head south until we arrive at Cala Tarida– located on the west side of the stunning island of Ibiza. Attracting a vast amount of tourism during the summer months in Ibiza, we must all work together to conserve this extensive beach that shares its immense beauty with us year round.
Providing easy accessibility with possible parking on the beach, Cala Tarida is a good option for families with children or those with mobility difficulties. Still, you cannot deny that there is no better way to discover the coves, avoiding the summer crowds, than from the sea. Gathering with friends and jumping on board a yacht charter in Ibiza will lead you to explore the unimaginable. It will open doors to experiences that cannot be lived by land.
How would Cala Tarida be described?
On the western side of the island, Cala Tarida is considered the longest beach measuring an estimate of two hundred fifty meters long by approximately fifty meters wide. Thanks to the forest filled hills that surround it, this beach is sheltered from almost all winds, except the westerlies- winds that blow from the west. Alternating between sandy areas and rockier platforms and islets, this cove has a peculiar appearance unlike any other beaches found in Ibiza.
The fine-grained sand both in and out of the water is the palest white, contributing to that postcard feel we all want to capture.
Not too much distance separates Cala Tarida and Cala Bassa, another one of our usual stops when visiting the best beaches on board our Ibiza boat rental.
Restaurants situated in Cala Tarida
On the exquisite beach of Cala Tarida we can truly enjoy a varied gastronomic menu for all tastes and budgets. Below we will list the most well-known.
1. Chiringuito de Cala Tarida: If you are looking for a light bite to eat with a bit of a different twist, this is one of my personal favourites. It is perfect for any day time gatherings because of the cool shade brought on by its terrace made of junipers- a native tree of the island.
2. Ses Eufabies Restaurant: In business since the 1950s, when it was just a small kiosk, this beach shack located at the southern end of the beach specializes in salads, meats, fish and a daily specialty plate that is constantly changing to keep its guests intrigued with new and fresh meals depending on the season. So close you can feel the ocean breeze play with your hair and the smell of salt in the air, enjoy mouth-watering dishes by the sea such as curry chicken, fried calamari, or the catch of the day.
3. Aisea Chill Out: With its extremely laid back and tranquil atmosphere, this gem is a must if you are looking to indulge in the breath-taking sunset while sipping a delicious cocktail. To further set the mood, they also offer live music of diverse musical styles.
4. Cotton Beach Club Ibiza: This new and luxurious Beach Club in Cala Tarida has turned the southwest coast of the island into the destination for local and international jet-sets. With its fully thought-out all white decorations, designer furniture, hammocks and chill out beds, the Cotton Beach Club always has its details on point, shining a sense of elegance.
5. Restaurante Cas Milá: With its impressive views seen from their terrace, this location is an exceptional spot for wedding celebrations. Always keeping us on our toes, the staff loves to surprise their customers with new scrumptious plates to enjoy.
The nature that surrounds Cala Tarida
On board our Ibiza boat hire you can truly enjoy the cliffs and caves that surround this unique and precious cove, which are entirely inaccessible by land. Diving in these celestial waters, it is easy to find an incredible amount of sea life, including numerous white seabreams and saddled seabreams. To further enhance your experience, our Ibiza yacht charter offers snorkelling equipment, consisting of a mask and a snorkel tube, for all those joining us for an incredible day at sea along with a paddle board that will test your balance from the moment you climb on.
Action can often be seen above water as well. From pods of dolphins heading south to flocks of seagulls and black cormorants plunging swiftly in search of food, there is never a dull moment in Cala Tarida.
