Cala Benirràs – Cove & sunset

The beach is not like in the pictures. Lots of rocks on the beach, difficult for umbrellas. When entering the water, you first hit lots of small stones and then it turns dark green, you can't see the bottom, just all kinds of algae and rocks. Were there in July, cannot recommend it. There are 1,000 times better beaches. Maybe come here for food, if at all. But the drive here is too tedious and annoying for that.

We were there on Sunday for the hippie ritual. It had little to do with hippie culture and much more to do with mass tourism, and that was already two weeks before the actual peak season. Everyone has to decide for themselves if it's worth it. If you are looking for peace and authenticity, you are in the wrong place.

Small, compact hippie market. Three very popular beach bars/restaurants. Something for everyone. In peak season, parking spots can be scarce. From mid-September onwards, this is no longer an issue. You should check the current opening hours beforehand.

For me, Cala Benirrás is one of the most magical spots on all of Ibiza and an absolute must for every visit to the island! Nestled beautifully in a pine-covered bay in the north, the beach offers crystal-clear water that is perfect for snorkeling and swimming. What makes this place truly special is its unique, relaxed vibe. Benirrás is especially renowned for its legendary sunset drumming sessions, where you can still feel the island's authentic hippie spirit up close. As the sun slowly sinks into the sea behind the iconic rock formation "Cap Bernat" and the rhythm of the drums kicks in, the atmosphere is impossible to put into words. The local dining scene is also superb; there’s a wonderful selection of beach clubs and small restaurants serving fantastic seafood and excellent wines. The mix of natural coastal beauty, the pebbly sand, and this profound feeling of freedom makes Benirrás my absolute favorite beach. A quick tip: it gets very busy, especially on Sundays, so arrive early to make parking stress-free. If you're looking for authentic Ibiza far from the mass tourism of the larger towns, you'll love this place. An unforgettable feast for the senses – a full five stars for this slice of paradise! 🌅🥁🌊✨

A gorgeous beach with that typical Ibiza flair. You’ll need a vehicle to get there, but once you arrive, you have everything you could possibly wish for on a beach. The little hippie market right on the sand also adds a very special, laid-back atmosphere to the bay.
