Cala Saladeta (Sant Antoni, Ibiza)

Cala Saladeta is a small sandy cove on the north-west coast of Ibiza, about 4 km from Sant Antoni de Portmany, right next to the larger Cala Salada. You reach it on foot: drive or take the bus to Cala Salada, then follow the short coastal path round the rocks, about 250 m. The sand is fine and pale, the water is clear and calm, and pine woods come down to the shore. It suits swimmers and snorkellers who do not need services; skip it if you want sun loungers, a bar on the sand or a lifeguard.

Access and parking

By car: from Sant Antoni (4 km) take the road towards Santa Agnès and turn off where it is signposted for Cala Salada, says the Balearic Islands tourist board. The last part of the road is steep and winding.

Parking: the tourist board’s Saladeta page says you can park for free in the surroundings. OpenStreetMap shows several small car parks behind Cala Salada, 250–450 m from Cala Saladeta; the mapped spaces add up to only a few dozen cars. We could not confirm whether car access to the Cala Salada road is restricted in summer 2026, so check the signs and local news before you drive down.

By bus: the “Cala Salada” stop is about 340 m from Cala Saladeta. OpenStreetMap maps bus line L34 from Sant Antoni via the Can Coix car park to Cala Salada. We could not confirm the 2026 timetable or season.

On foot from Cala Salada: walk to the north (right-hand) side of Cala Salada and follow the path along the rocks to Cala Saladeta. The tourist board says the path gives a wide view of the whole bay.

By boat: in summer, boats from Sant Antoni port stop at Cala Salada and other beaches on this coast (tourist board).

What to expect

Cala Salada and Cala Saladeta share one U-shaped inlet between cliffs. Facing the sea, Cala Salada is on the left and Cala Saladeta on the right, separated by a rocky bar. The tourist board describes it as not too big, with fine golden sand, crystal-clear water and pines around it.

The area is part of Es Amunts, the protected hilly zone covering much of north-west Ibiza. Under the cliffs you will see the boat shelters built by local fishermen. From the shore you look out to sa Conillera.

The middle of the inlet, about 100 m out, is a popular anchorage: the water is 4–5 m deep over sand and seagrass (tourist board). Expect boats in summer, as in the photos.

Practical details

• Bring: water, food and shade. Cala Saladeta has no bar, sunbeds or toilets of its own.
• Nearest services: at Cala Salada, about 250 m away: toilets (mapped as wheelchair accessible), a restaurant, sunbeds and pedal-boat rental, and lifeguards (tourist board, OpenStreetMap).
• Snorkelling: the clear water and the rocks between the two coves are the main draw.
• Shoes: wear something with grip for the rocky path from Cala Salada.
• Nearest marina: Sant Antoni de Portmany, 4.7 km away (spain.info).

Accessibility and safety

Best time to visit

June and September are the most pleasant months. In July and August the small cove fills quickly and parking is scarce, so arrive early or come by bus or boat. The cove faces west, so late afternoon light is good, but remember the walk back over the rocks before dark.

Nearby alternatives

• Cala Salada, 250 m away: the larger cove in the same inlet, with services and lifeguards.
• Cala Comte, 8.5 km south-west: shallow sandy coves with restaurants, a bus and a big sunset crowd.
• Dalt Vila, 16.7 km away: the walled old town of Ibiza.
• Camping La Playa Ibiza, 24.1 km away on the east coast.
• Ses Illetes, 30.5 km away on Formentera, reached by ferry from Ibiza town.

Distances are in a straight line from the cove.
