Playa de Ses Salines (Las Salinas Beach), Ibiza

Las Salinas Beach, also known as Playa de Ses Salines, is a must-visit destination for those seeking the quintessential Ibiza experience. Situated at the southernmost tip of the island, the beach is named after the nearby salt lakes that define the landscape and provide a unique backdrop to this picturesque spot. Las Salinas is renowned for its long, wide crescent of pale sandy shore, framed by lush pine woods that offer a touch of shade and respite from the sun.

The beach’s crystal-clear waters and occasional breakers make it an ideal spot for body surfing and other water activities. On windy days, the waves are especially inviting for adventurous swimmers. At the southern end of the beach, you can find small catamarans docked on the sand, adding a splash of maritime charm to the scenery. A stroll along the beach will lead you past an array of popular bars and restaurants, where you can indulge in gourmet dishes and refreshing cocktails, all set to a backdrop of curated dance and Balearic music.

Las Salinas’ vibrant social scene is what sets it apart from other beaches in Ibiza. It is known for its lively atmosphere, with a steady flow of party parades, ticket sellers, and beach merchants roaming the sands, engaging visitors in conversation, and adding to the eclectic energy of the place. While it may not be the quietest spot to relax, it is certainly one of the most exciting.

Las Salinas Beach is also part of Ibiza’s Wildlife Conservation Area, making it an excellent location for adventure walks, especially in the off-season. A walk towards the pirate watchtower reveals stunning coastal views and hidden coves along the rockier part of the coastline.
