AVAILABILITY

The Cala Bassa to Cala Conta coastline is one of Ibiza’s most coveted villa rental areas, combining dramatic coastal beauty with some of the island’s most luxurious properties. The exceptional location and premium properties in this area mean availability is scarce during the summer months. Early bookings are highly recommended to secure a villa with uninterrupted sea views and proximity to these iconic beaches. Year-Round Appeal: While demand is highest from May to September, off-season offers an opportunity to enjoy this region’s beauty in a quieter, more tranquil setting, with a selection of stunning homes still available.

BEACH LIFE

Cala Bassa: Famous for its powdery sands and calm waters, Cala Bassa is perfect for families and water sports enthusiasts alike.

For a quieter experience, explore the rocky edges of the beach, where you can find secluded spots for snorkeling or sunbathing. Cala Conta: With its dual coves and turquoise waters, Cala Conta is Ibiza’s quintessential sunset beach. Sunset Ashram, perched on the rocky promontory, is the ultimate spot for a cocktail and a panoramic view of the day’s end. Between these two iconic beaches, hidden gems like Ses Roques Males, a rustic fishing corner, and Playa Escondida, a quieter cove, provide tranquil alternatives for those seeking solitude.
