Holidays in Cala San Vicente

An introduction to Cala San Vicente

Cala San Vicente is chill-out central. A staggeringly beautiful bay carved between imposing headlands, this small, un-showy resort is perfectly positioned for lazy holidaymakers – away from Ibiza's main tourist hubbub. The approach to the town says a lot. Reached by a steeply descending road, it's hard not to feel you're leaving the rest of Ibiza far behind. The sensation continues after you've unpacked, with the unhurried ambience conspiring with the superb views to instantly slow your thoughts and your pace. Hit the beach and you'll soon be immersed in peace. A quiet arc of golden sand, it's a scene of dreamlike beauty. Sparkling waters kiss the gently shelving sand, staying shallow for quite a way out to create a paddling paradise. The headland to the north helps keep the waters calm, whilst the resort's slightly out-of-the-way location helps keep away big crowds. When you're not lying on the sands, explore the resort, roving around its decent supply of shops and eateries. And then rest up awhile at a beachside restaurant for a lunch of freshly grilled fish overlooking the bay. Once you get itchy feet, follow the path inland to the Cova des Cuieram. Hidden in woods, ancient religious statues were found in this mysterious, now-closed cave, which commands breathtaking views. Take the local train to Portinatx to revel in the stunning scenery en-route or play golf at the nearby course. Alternatively, travel to chic Santa Eulalia or forage for bargains at Es Cana's Hippy Market. Back home at night, San Vicente's take-it-easy air reigns supreme. Grab a restaurant table and enjoy a meal gazing out to sea, the moonlight dancing on the tranquil waters.
